Happy Birthday! Greater involvement and participation in life will result in new connections as well as reviving relationships that have become stale. This year is about communication, making a difference and finding out what you truly want to achieve. Retreats, spiritual growth or educational pursuits will help you flush out the route best suited to obtaining the success you long for. Your numbers are 1, 8, 14, 27, 32, 38, 44.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): One step at a time. Be careful how you approach others or deal with sensitive issues. Someone you least expect will overpower you with facts and knowledge you have yet to discover. ★★

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Opportunity knocks. Don’t sit idle when you should be enjoying the company of friends, family or your lover. Options will be presented that will stir up old memories and make you revisit past goals. ★★★★★

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Listen, strategize and make decisions based on facts, not hearsay or gut feelings. Uncertainty regarding how someone feels about you can only be determined if you ask where you stand and accept whatever verdict you are given. ★★★

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Know your limitations as well as your attributes. Listen to advice offered from a reliable source before you form an opinion or take action. Don’t get involved in something you feel is unorthodox or that you don’t see as beneficial to you. ★★★

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You aren’t likely to agree with the people you interact with. Formulate a plan, but don’t execute it just yet. You have to be fully prepared if you want to come out on top. Do your research and get your facts straight. ★★★

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Money, health and legal matters will be uncertain and give you reason to do more research in order to avoid a pitfall. You can overcome whatever negativity or dishonesty prevails if you stay focused on facts and truth. ★★★★★

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Concentrate on you and on the things you can do that will lead to self-improvement and peace of mind. Spiritual growth and physical changes that will give you the strength to trust your decisions and follow through are in your best interest. ★★

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): A change in the way you do things or your professional direction will turn out to be more beneficial than anticipated. Use past experience to help you gain perspective on the best way to handle the affairs of a friend or relative. ★★★★

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Refuse to make an impulsive move. No matter how tempted you are, it’s in your best interest to bide your time and be a spectator until the pros and cons are clearly displayed. Play it safe and avoid regret. ★★★

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Pay more attention to important relationships and your home and family. Build a strong base from which to work, play and grow. You will bypass the growing uncertainty that someone is trying to inflict on you and your lifestyle. ★★★

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Avoid any form of extravagance and people who are persuasive or pushing you to try something that can hurt your reputation or relationship with someone you care about. Take better care of your health and personal responsibilities. ★★★

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Attend a reunion or make a point to reconnect with someone from your past. Mixing the old with the new will lead to new beginnings. Take care of your health and refuse to let anyone meddle in your affairs. ★★★★
