Happy Birthday! You can forge ahead this year. All the ideas and plans you’ve been waiting to unleash can now be put into play. Doors that were closed in the past will now open, and the hard work you’ve put in will pay off. Changes to how or where you live will motivate you to strive toward greater success. Your numbers are 2, 12, 18, 22, 27, 35, 44.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Express yourself emotionally. Share your feelings and find out where you stand. Don’t let a situation that is bothering you build into a feud when communication, understanding and solutions are what’s required. A romantic gesture will enhance your personal life. ★★★★★

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Look for an alternative if a situation isn’t going according to plan. Listen to suggestions offered, and do your best to stick to tried-and-true methods. A practical approach will help to ward off mistakes that can be costly. ★★

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Don’t take anything or anyone for granted. Be willing to do your part, and stick to the truth to avoid being called out by someone fact-checking. Personal improvements should include health as well as your domestic environment. ★★★★

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Working hand in hand with trusted individuals will help promote steady progress. Shy away from anyone exhibiting excessive tendencies or who is emotionally manipulative. Know when to say no, and surround yourself with people who are practical, moderate and efficient. ★★★

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Getting all worked up over nothing will not serve you well. Before you initiate an emotional conversation with someone, get your facts straight. If you act on an assumption or hearsay, you will not only offend someone, you’ll damage your relationship. ★★★

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): A day trip or visiting old friends or relatives should be scheduled. Attending a reunion and socializing with people from different walks of life will stimulate you mentally as well as prompt you to make changes to your life and future endeavors. ★★★

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Tread carefully when dealing with friends and family. Not everyone will see things your way. Someone will put demands on you or try to interfere with what you want to do. Don’t let indulgent behavior be your way of dealing with negativity. ★★★★

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): An emotional situation will escalate quickly if you don’t pull back and rethink your strategy. Focus on something you have control over, not something you don’t. Be up-front and do your own thing. ★★

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): No one knows better than you when it comes to how you feel and what you want. Try not to pussyfoot around issues that need to be discussed. By avoiding the truth, you will give someone a false impression. ★★★★★

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Find the best way to use your knowledge to bring about positive changes at work and at home. A chance to reinvent yourself will turn out to be quite prosperous. Recycle old ideas and format the journey you want to pursue. ★★★

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Emotions will take over if you aren’t careful. Don’t let anyone bait you into a discussion about something you aren’t ready to talk about. If you want to change something, start with yourself. A new diet, exercise routine or look is encouraged. ★★★

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You’ll have some interesting ideas. Discuss your plans with an expert to work out any kinks that could slow you down. Money, contracts and a change in the way you earn your living look promising. ★★★

Birthday Baby: You are smart, thoughtful and accommodating. You are progressive and upbeat.
