Happy Birthday! Step back and look at the big picture. It’s important to understand the magnitude of what you are trying to accomplish as a whole and to break it down into doable segments that will fit into your day-to-day schedule. Maintaining balance and integrity, and having the vision and the desire to do something beneficial, will make this year worthwhile. Your numbers are 7, 12, 23, 26, 31, 38, 47.

ARIES (March 21-April 19):

Don’t let impulsiveness get the best of you. Slow down and figure out the right way to handle situations that can affect your reputation or status. Speaking without accurate information will limit how to best move forward. ★★★

TAURUS (April 20-May 20):

Take the plunge and get things up and running. Work alone and forego joint financial endeavors. Take pride in what you can do and an opportunity will come your way. Don’t try to do the impossible. Protect against injury. ★★★

GEMINI (May 21-June 20):

An opportunity will not be as good as declared. Do your homework before making a commitment that can tie up your time or cost you money. If you want to bring about positive changes, focus on personal growth and educational pursuits. ★★★

CANCER (June 21-July 22):

You stand to gain if you participate in what’s going on around you. Networking functions and taking part in activities that include likeminded people are favored. Romance or personal improvements will highlight your day. ★★★★★

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22):

Don’t let your generous nature get the best of you. Making others happy can be done without going into debt. The time you spend with the ones you love should be the greatest gift of all. What you provide is secondary. ★★

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):

Addressing matters concerning children, seniors and partners will bring about positive changes. An unusual opportunity will lead to personal gain. Get in touch with an old friend or relative, or sign up for an event that will improve your neighborhood. ★★★★

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22):

Sharing personal information or reconnecting with someone from your past will pose a problem for you. Focus on doing a good job and taking care of unfinished business. A compliment you receive could have ulterior motives attached. ★★★

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21):

It’s time to have some fun, follow your heart and engage in activities that make you happy. Look at your prospects and pursue your dreams. The sky is the limit. If you reach high enough, you will reach your goal. ★★★

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21):

You’ll be anxious to make some changes to your social life and future plans. Don’t let impulsiveness take over. You can only fit so much into your day. Falling short on a promise you made will lead to a negative response. ★★★★

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19):

Don’t underestimate others. Just when you think you have agreed on something, someone will make a last-minute change to throw you off guard. Don’t give in to something that doesn’t work for you. Walk away and do your own thing. ★★

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18):

It’s up to you to bring about change. Don’t wait for someone else to step in and take over. Size up the extent of what needs to be done, make sure your plans are within reason, and move forward with confidence. ★★★★★

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20):

Opportunity is knocking and the chance to make a financial gain is within reach. Check out your options, look at your resources and don’t get flustered if someone doesn’t see things the same way you do. Do your own thing. ★★★

Birthday Baby: You are alert, innovative and charming. You are feisty and unpredictable.
