Happy Birthday!

Trust in what you know, not what someone tells you. You’ll have plenty of opportunities, but this is not the year to cut corners or rely on others. Only take on what’s important to you; see it through. You may be tempted to take a risk, but that will tie up time, causing you to miss better prospects. Your numbers are 8, 19, 22, 27, 31, 35, 44.

ARIES (March 21-April 19):

Check out opportunities, but don’t take a gamble on something that isn’t a sure thing. Know what’s required and what you’ll get in return. Negotiate on your own behalf and make changes based on common sense, not what someone else does. ★★★

TAURUS (April 20-May 20):

Positive change will tweak your relationships at work and at home. Personal physical improvements will lead to compliments and a feeling of accomplishment. Focus on fitness, health and diet. An event will bring you in touch with someone from your past. ★★★

GEMINI (May 21-June 20):

Look for the good in everyone, but don’t be too trusting. It’s important to question what’s uncertain or to back away from a situation that has a weak foundation. Look out for your interests. Refuse to let anyone take advantage of you. ★★★

CANCER (June 21-July 22):

Plan to do something that you find relaxing or inspiring. Attend a function that is geared toward a fun time with children or romance with your lover. A day spent with someone you love will bring you closer together. ★★★★★

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22):

Problems at home will leave you wondering what to do next. Don’t let an emotional incident turn into a no-win situation. Kindness and diplomacy are always better routes to take if you want to find a solution. ★★

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):

Stick to your plan. Don’t spend one penny more than necessary. If someone exaggerates or is indulgent, walk away. Don’t feel you have to give in to someone pressuring you. Positive change should start within. ★★★★

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22):

Don’t feel obligated to take on too much. Set boundaries when dealing with people who tend to be pushy or critical. Concentrate on making personal changes that will improve the way you handle or earn your living. ★★★

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21):

Spend more time with people who pump you up, not those who bring you down. Trying new things will be uplifting. Allow yourself to let your imagination wander and your ideas to unfold. Romance is highlighted. ★★★

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21):

Think big, but don’t lose sight of what’s practical. Having a sense of trust and belonging will be important while collaborating with others. Don’t let someone’s charm deceive you. Question and fact-check before you proceed. ★★★

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19):

It’s OK to change your mind or to say no to someone who is trying to entice you into something you don’t want to do. Put your efforts into personal gains, physical improvements and jobs you enjoy doing. ★★★★

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18):

You can make a reasonable change, but don’t disrupt your world trying to reach the unattainable. Expect someone to use emotional meddling in order to twist your way of thinking or to get you to overspend on something you don’t need. ★★

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20):

Put some muscle behind your plans. How you handle your cash or take care of your responsibilities will have an impact on others. Living within your means and doing what’s right and best should be your prime concerns. Romance is encouraged. ★★★★★

Birthday Baby:

You are insightful, passionate and graceful. You are changeable and proactive.
