Happy Birthday! You’ve got plenty going for you this year, so don’t sell yourself short. You don’t have to go overboard to get things up and running. Baby steps will lead to the success you’re looking for. Plan, strategize and calculate your every move. Don’t let change become bothersome. Work with what you have, keeping a steady pace and an open mind. Your numbers are 2, 14, 23, 25, 33, 38, 43.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Don’t worry so much about what others do. As long as you are happy with your performance, kindness and personal and spiritual growth, you can be proud of who you are and what you have to offer. Love and romance are encouraged. ★★★

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): A change of plans shouldn’t throw you off your schedule. Don’t become disconcerted if someone isn’t into doing what you do. Carry on and enjoy yourself, regardless of who is in your corner and who isn’t. Consistency matters. ★★★

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Update your appearance to give yourself a boost. How you present who you are and what you are capable of doing will make a difference. Rely on your intelligence to help you sort through any differences you have with others. ★★

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Problems at home will fester if you are moody or don’t address the real problem. Skirting issues or sulking will only make others distance themselves from you. Look at whatever positive you can find in any situation; you’ll turn things around. ★★

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Travel, communication and sorting out any differences you have with someone will lead to greater success and happiness. Work with, not against, what’s best in the long term. Short-term benefits will not sustain what you are trying to achieve. ★★★★

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): A change to the way you approach others will help you uncover problems that are holding you back. If you want someone to see things from your perspective, find a fun way to display your feelings and plans for the future. ★★★

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): If emotions start to take over, look for something to do that gives back. If you are helping someone, you will realize everyone faces adversity, and doing something about it instead of dwelling on the negative is your best recourse. ★★★

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Keep things in perspective. Steer clear of those unwilling to budge so you can continue to do your own thing without having to put up with nonsense that will slow you down. ★★★

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Do a good job and be proud of your accomplishments. A positive attitude will draw attention to how proficient you are. Build solid relationships at work as well as in your personal life, but don’t let others cost you. ★★★★

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Don’t let negativity seep into your conversations or the way you treat others. Confront any issues you have with an open mind and heart. Let others do what works best for them; you’ll get more in return. ★★

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Put all your papers, feelings and plans for the future in order. Knowing what you want to end up with will help you move forward at an even pace. Don’t let the actions of others lead to costly setbacks. ★★★★★

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Look for new ways to make your money work for you. Go over contracts, negotiate and look for innovative ways to move forward with your plans. Align yourself with positive, productive people who are heading in a similar direction. ★★★

Birthday Baby: You are amicable, fun-loving and sensitive. You are passionate and caring.
