Work toward a goal that doesn’t entail relying on other people. You can get ahead if you are diligent when it comes to detail. Assess what’s important to you and make that your priority this year. Impulsive actions will end up being costly and time-consuming. Plan your actions and move forward with confidence. Relationship changes should be considered carefully. Your numbers are 2, 14, 20, 23, 31, 34, 49.

ARIES (March 21-April 19):

Don’t back down. When someone gets in your way, step aside and do your own thing. Show your strength and courage by doing your best to succeed. Make prudent maneuvers and exercise your will to excel.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20):

Don’t feel like you have to make an impulsive decision or move. Ride out any conflict or challenge you face and you will come out on top. Focus more on what you can do for others and build a stellar reputation.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20):

Settle differences you have with associates to enable you to move forward with your plans. It’s time to put the past behind you so that you can share what you want to see happen in the future.

CANCER (June 21-July 22):

Proceed with caution. Don’t take on too much or feel like you have to rush. Work quietly behind the scenes on projects that will help you gain recognition for your creativity and detail. Take your time and do things right the first time.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22):

Get physical, participate and challenge yourself. The more invigorating and disciplined activities you take on, the more enthusiastic you will become. Personal physical gains will lead to greater empowerment. Make romance your reward.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):

Don’t take matters into your own hands when dealing with domestic issues. Someone will complain if you don’t discuss your plans before making changes. Once you have the go-ahead, it will be much easier to complete what you begin without interference.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22):

Use your finesse, intelligence and ability to see both sides of any issue that surfaces to ensure that you get a fair deal. Your ability to negotiate without letting emotions interfere will help you excel and gain popularity. Travel is highlighted.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21):

Keep a close watch on how others respond and you will know exactly what to do in order to come out on top. Your ability to read between the lines and make calculated guesses based on intuition should pay off.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21):

Be careful what you wish for. You’ll attract just as much opposition as you will attention. Move forward cautiously and without revealing too much about your plans or your personal affairs. Physical changes will turn out well.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19):

Watch your step when dealing with authority figures or institutions. You will meet with opposition or requests that are difficult to fulfill. Keep your personal information a secret and don’t feel the need to follow someone who is making impulsive choices.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18):

You will make your own good fortune, so don’t look to someone else to step in and make it for you. Rely on your innovative imagination to take you in a direction that will help you get ahead. Be a trendsetter.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20):

Keep life simple and focus on positive change. Offer to help others, but don’t take over or promise to do too much. Balance and integrity will be necessary if you want to avoid complications.

Birthday Baby:

You are emotional, unpredictable and imaginative. You are curious and inventive.
