Happy Birthday! Follow through with your plans. Get the lowdown and find out what’s entailed. Make things happen; don’t worry about what others do or think. Take hold of your life and make decisions based on your needs. Being honest regarding your motives will help you recognize what it is you want out of life. Your numbers are 7, 10, 16, 24, 33, 39, 46.

ARIES (March 21-April 19):

Make productivity your priority. Keep busy, take care of your responsibilities and keep your opinions to yourself. You won’t get into trouble or criticized for something you neglected to do. Live up to your promises and do your best. ★★★

TAURUS (April 20-May 20):

Don’t let what others do send you on a rampage. Take a practical approach to whatever happens around you, and you will be able to control the situation and be rewarded for your astute assessment and actions. ★★★

GEMINI (May 21-June 20):

A physical challenge will motivate you to figure things out for yourself. Keep a fast pace; don’t stop until you are sure you have exhausted every means to reach your goal. Do what comes naturally, and learn from the experience. ★★★

CANCER (June 21-July 22):

Multiply your chance to get ahead by taking an interest in options that have a unique twist or offer something you cannot get anywhere else. Connect with people who share your interests but are very unlike you. ★★★★★

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22):

Take the high road. Refuse to get into a tiff over a situation that is being grossly overrated. Shy away from anyone boasting or making unreal promises. Too much of anything should be a signal to back away. Avoid unnecessary changes. ★★

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):

Get your facts straight before you open a discussion. You can bring about positive change, but first you have to know what you are up against and how best to spur others into agreeing with your plan. ★★★★

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22):

Organize and schedule your day carefully. Say no to demanding people who are forcing you to take on responsibilities that don’t belong to you. Make a point to finish what you start and to learn from the experiences you encounter. ★★★

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21):

Personal improvements can be made. Your discipline is high and your ability to stick to a diet or exercise routine will keep you moving toward the goals you set. You’ll come up with a unique idea that will encourage new trends. ★★★

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21):

Look before you leap. Your enthusiasm can get you into trouble if you act too quickly. Someone you trust will mislead you regarding a money or health matter that needs to be addressed. Ask questions and get proof first. ★★★

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19):

You’ll be tempted to help someone who will benefit more from the experience of doing things for himself or herself. Offer suggestions but don’t do the work for others. Concentrate on personal goals. ★★★

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18):

Separate your emotions from your responsibilities. It’s important to remain calm and to stay centered when dealing with people who show signs of instability. Keep your life simple and the changes you make within your means. Be realistic. ★★

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20):

You’ll have an insightful advantage when dealing with joint ventures. If something appears to be unstable, cut your losses and go it alone. Personal improvements will result in maintaining safety in all aspects of your life. ★★★★★

Birthday Baby:

You are inventive, conceptual and proactive. You are brave and possessive.
