Happy Birthday!

Take a long, hard look at the past and present before you delve into the future. Size up what’s happened and why; make adjustments that will help you move forward in a positive manner. Keep your finances straight, lower your debt and be moderate with your expenditures. Your numbers are 8, 14, 23, 27, 34, 41, 44.

ARIES (March 21-April 19):

If you want something, go get it. Don’t wait for someone else to make the first move or to outmaneuver you. Positive change is within reach if you are motivated and willing to take charge and make things happen. ★★★★★

TAURUS (April 20-May 20):

Refuse to let anyone push you into something you aren’t ready to take on. Discipline and preparation will bring you far better results. Anger will only add fuel to the fire. Put your energy toward building a stable base to house your plans. ★★★

GEMINI (May 21-June 20):

Let passion lead the way. If you feel strongly about something, follow through. Set your sights on how best to achieve your goals without disrupting what you’ve worked so hard to acquire. Don’t let emotions interfere with doing what’s right. ★★★

Don’t miss out on an opportunity because of what someone else does. Take hold of whatever situation you encounter and make it work for you. In the end, you will be praised for your insight and fortitude. ★★★

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22):

Eliminate unnecessary spending. Put your money to work for you; set up a plan that will encourage you to live within your means. Associate with people who have something to offer instead of those who take from you. ★★★★★

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):

Get out and explore. Listen and observe; you’ll gather information that will help you ward off an emotional situation based on assumptions instead of facts. Knowledge is a powerful tool that can help eliminate problems before they erupt. ★★

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22):

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21):

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21):

Put your energy into private gains. Financial, physical and legal matters should be handled personally. Question what others do or say to sway you. Consider how best to deal with a friend, peer or relative developing poor habits. ★★★

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19):

You’ve got what it takes to bring about the changes that will make your life better. An opportunity will arise if you take a fresh look at an old idea or proposal. A new beginning will stimulate you to make personal improvements. ★★★

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18):

Engage in discussions that can help bring about positive changes. Speak from the heart; your passionate way of sharing your thoughts will win the support you need to enforce new ideas and plans for the future. ★★★★

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20):

An emotional situation will escalate if you are misleading. You are better off not saying anything if it will put you in an awkward position should the truth be revealed. Do your own thing, and protect your reputation. ★★
