Happy Birthday!

Before something goes wrong, make adjustments to the way you do things. Take care of personal finances, legal or medical matters, and situations that can affect the way you earn your living. It’s important to keep up with current economic trends and technology in order to protect against loss. Being informed as well as diplomatic will be your ticket to success. Your numbers are 9, 14, 22, 24, 28, 37, 43.

ARIES (March 21-April 19):

Your intuition will not let you down. However, your ability to keep the peace will. Avoid an altercation with someone who can affect your reputation or who you work alongside. Finding a solution will make you the hero instead of the villain. ★★★★★

TAURUS (April 20-May 20):

When you should be keeping personal matters a secret, someone will attempt to charm you into opening up. Don’t offer information regarding your finances, medical history or any passwords that could leave you compromised. Concentrate on health and physical improvements. ★★★

GEMINI (May 21-June 20):

Emotions will surface when dealing with people you are indebted to or vice versa. Trying to sort through the past in order to bring matters up to date will turn out to be more difficult and invasive than anticipated. ★★★

CANCER (June 21-July 22):

Emotional situations will fester. Look for a reasonable way to deal with people without letting your temper take over. Initiating diplomacy will impress someone who can help you excel. A kind gesture and a firm attitude are your best defenses. ★★★

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22):

Step up. If you take control, you will be able to manipulate whatever situation you face with confidence. Use your intelligence, intuition and skills to help you make good choices regarding the people you let into your inner circle. ★★★★★

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):

If you make changes at home, don’t expect everyone to like what you do. Emotional deception will filter into conversations when asking for a second opinion. Put yourself in someone else’s shoes before you make a decision that will affect others. ★★

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22):

Pay close attention to your relationships. Show concern and empathy for others, and offer unique solutions. Listen attentively, but don’t take on responsibilities that will leave you too stretched to do a good job. Offer suggestions, not hands-on help. ★★★★

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21):

Selfrealization and being honest about who you are, what you can do and what you want will come to mind. Take a long, hard look at your options and make choices based on what makes the most sense. ★★★

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21):

Avoiding a situation that needs to be addressed doesn’t mean it will go away on its own. Take the initiative to start a conversation that will help solve any issues that are pending or bothering you or someone you love. ★★★

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19):

Consider volunteering for something or joining an organization that is working toward changes you want to see enforced. Your input will be appreciated if you offer suggestions, but when it comes to physical contributions, only promise to do what’s feasible. ★★★

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18):

Listen and observe what others are saying or offering, but when it comes down to making a decision or taking part, you are best to be reserved about what you are willing to do or offer in return. ★★★★

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20):

Know what you are up against before you take on a cause or responsibility that can lead to emotional stress. Ask questions and consider who and what are involved before making a commitment. Emotional deception will turn out to be costly. ★★

Birthday Baby:

You are independent, competitive and aggressive. You are astute and persistent.
