Happy Birthday! Concentrate on what matters to you, not what others try to talk you into doing. Put discipline to work, and learn to say no if something doesn’t suit you. Formulate your ideas and plans and execute them the way that suits you best. The changes you bring about will improve your outlook as well as your life. Your numbers are 2, 14, 20, 24, 34, 46, 49.

ARIES (March 21-April 19):

Socialize, network and explore new possibilities, but don’t drain your budget. If you live within your means, you will ease stress and impress someone you love. Personal improvements will be gratifying, and romance should be on your agenda. ★★★

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Your desire for something new and exciting will lead to temptation. Don’t give in to someone asking for too much or trying to convince you to get involved in something that isn’t good for you. Restraint and patience will be required. ★★★

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Look for answers, ask questions and stay focused on getting ahead personally and professionally. A change is in your best interest but must be reasonable and within your budget. Make physical improvements that will result in greater confidence. Romance is highlighted. ★★★★

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Mull over your options and let your imagination wander. The ideas you come up with will help you bring about change that will improve your life and help you project a positive attitude that will convince others to join your cause. ★★

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Put your plans into motion and aim to achieve what you set out to do. Being organized and prepared for whatever unexpected circumstances arise will counter loss or failure. Underestimating what you can handle should be avoided. ★★★★★

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):

Travel, educational pursuits and new experiences will all lead to personal growth and a greater understanding of what’s possible. Encourage change, but if you don’t implement discipline to ensure you don’t take on the impossible, an unusual partnership will develop. ★★★

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Look at the cost involved in something before you decide to take part. Emotions must not be allowed to sway you in a direction that could end up limiting your chance to advance. Personal expenditures need to be monitored carefully. ★★★

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Don’t act on impulse. Consider the pros and cons and formulate a plan that is realistic. A unique idea will capture your attention, but verify the cost and time involved before you sign up for something that could be taxing. ★★★

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Put more time and effort into personal improvements. Whether it’s your surroundings, relationships or a physical update that makes you feel confident and good about the way you project your image, move forward. You’ll get positive results. Romance is highlighted. ★★★★★

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19):

Don’t leave anything to chance. An emotional matter will disrupt your plans if you aren’t prepared to make last-minute changes to compensate for whatever transpires. Don’t let anger take over when what’s required are strength and courage. ★★

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Express your feelings and work hard to improve a personal relationship. Letting little things come between you and someone you love will lead to regret. Be willing to work with someone in order to resolve problems. ★★★★

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): A display of confidence and ownership by someone you are competitive with must not be allowed to bring you down. Look for a unique way to counter any put-down you encounter; you will recapture the attention you crave. ★★★

Birthday Baby: You are emotional, possessive and expressive. You are forceful and pensive.
