Happy Birthday! Deliberate before you make a choice or a change. Uncertainty will prevail if you let your emotions take over or put yourself in a vulnerable position when dealing with people who put demands on you. Learn to say “no” if you want to avoid being used. It’s up to you to call the shots. Your numbers are 3, 11, 22, 30, 37, 45, 48.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Emotional problems will surface if you aren’t responsive or willing to communicate about matters that are troubling you. Don’t sulk when all you have to do is ask questions and take action based on the facts you gather.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Take part in cultural events, travel for business purposes or do your best to deal with issues concerning children, investments or seniors in your family. Taking care of personal affairs will ease stress. Offer understanding and worthwhile solutions.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Worries regarding children or elders in your family will surface. Be careful how you handle situations that pertain to other people’s financial, health or legal affairs. Offer sound advice, but don’t meddle or you will be blamed.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Say what’s on your mind. Expressing your feelings may not sit well with everyone, but if it clears up uncertainty and helps you or someone else move forward, it will be worth it. Don’t be afraid to head down a unique or unfamiliar path. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Slow down. Mistakes will be made if you are too impulsive. Consider your options and the possible ramifications of your choices. Don’t give in to pressure or those trying to put demands on you and what you do. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Emotional matters will escalate. Avoid a confrontation with anyone spouting unreasonable demands. Take a step back and rethink your options. Don’t neglect your responsibilities because you are worried about what others think or do.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Keep a close watch over your possessions, assets and your personal information. Don’t give anyone the chance to take advantage of you or to disrupt your routine. Change is only good if it benefits you.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Get involved in things that interest you, but don’t feel the need to help someone who takes advantage of the talent, skills or services you can offer. Build relationships that offer mutual benefits and they will blossom into something special. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Emotional deception will keep you guessing. Whether it’s you not being honest with yourself or someone else leading you astray, consider all aspects of your situation and deal with matters responsibly. Keep the peace, but don’t fold under pressure. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Refuse to let an emotional matter take over. It’s important to give your all and to remain in control if you want to avoid loss. Use common sense and a practical plan to overcome any opposition. Protect your assets. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Question anyone who sounds suspicious. False information or emotional manipulation will set you back. Only take action when you know you have your facts straight and a solid solution ready to be implemented. Focus on self-awareness and positive personal changes.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Look for a way to help someone who is an asset to you. A give-and-take exchange will work well for you in situations where collaborating with someone just as gifted as you can lead to a better end result.

Birthday Baby: You are persistent, detailed and tough. You are strong-minded and persuasive.
