Happy Birthday!

Think outside the box and you’ll figure out a way to get things done in a timely and fashionable manner. The changes that others make should be looked at carefully before you offer help or get involved. Separate your emotions from what’s in your best interest. Put your energy into your goals, not someone else’s. Your numbers are 8, 14, 20, 24, 32, 44, 47.

ARIES (March 21-April 19):

Call on your courage, strength and intuition to avoid getting involved in situations that could be detrimental to your reputation, status or partnerships. Have a purposeful plan in place if you want to make a move.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20):

Sensitivity can be a good thing if you use it to express the way you feel and offer beneficial suggestions and solutions. Outbursts will not be acceptable, nor will they help solve a problem. Mindful action gets positive results.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20):

Do your best to keep secrets. Don’t indulge in something unless you have all the information you require to do things properly. Personal gains can be made if you focus on self-improvement and avoid emotional purchases.

CANCER (June 21-July 22):

Do what you do best and make sure you take care of your own interests first. It’s OK to help others, but not if it means a personal loss or expense. Your suggestions should be ample to keep others happy.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22):

Refuse to let what someone else says or does hinder your progress. It’s up to you to take care of business first. A well-thoughtout plan will help you make the changes necessary to improve your situation.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):

Keep your emotions in check when dealing with institutions or while traveling outside your home country. Put in extra effort when helping others and your hard work will give your reputation a boost. Networking is encouraged.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22):

Look over personal and contractual paperwork. It’s best to find out ahead of time if there are any hidden costs or exceptions that you may have overlooked. Troubles at home and at work will result in a sudden change.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21):

Steer emotional energy toward productive ends. Short trips to visit someone or learn something new will encourage you to take a chance and trust in your abilities. Don’t follow the crowd or make a hasty decision.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21):

A change of location or to the way you do things is encouraged. You’ll learn easily and be able to apply the information you pick up in order to bring about positive lifestyle changes. Don’t be disillusioned by a smooth talker.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19):

Don’t let impulses take over. Emotional decisions and spending money are best monitored carefully. Don’t make a promise without finding out exactly what is expected of you. Overpaying for something is likely if you don’t do your research.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18):

Partnerships will undergo some tension if you let little things get to you. Try to work with, not against, whatever situation you face. Change can be good if you are willing to iron out any trouble spots.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20):

You’ll end up in a vulnerable position if you are too open. Listen to what’s being said and look for signals that will reveal whether you should participate in what’s being offered. Play it safe and avoid sorrow.

Birthday Baby:

You are sturdy, progressive and strategic. You are thorough and punctual.
