HAPPY BIRTHDAY

This year you feel an innate tension between who you are and what you feel. Many of you might not identify this conflict as a source of stress. Often, you speak from one perspective but act from a different stance. To those around you, your mixed messages could be a source of frustration. Be willing to discuss it. If you are single, you might attract someone who is your exact opposite. Commit only when you are sure that you have met your match. If you are attached, the two of you understand each other well. Respect your sweetie’s differences. PISCES can’t always understand you.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

Do more listening. You also might want to tap into your imagination. Test out your ideas before you decide which way to go. A logical approach will hold when the unexpected occurs. Your knee-jerk reaction will carry you through a problem. Tonight: Read the tea leaves.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

Zeroing in on what you want will be worthwhile. A friend might suggest going in an interesting direction on a project that could affect your life. The unexpected seems to mark your day. Know that you can’t put off a decision any longer. Tonight: Go with the moment.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

Add to an important conversation by revealing more of what you are thinking. Brainstorm in a meeting, and listen to various ideas. What emerges might be a surprising, brilliant suggestion. Don’t fear the unexpected; accept it and work with it. Tonight: Be spontaneous.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

Detach, and know when enough is enough. You are likely to succeed if you detach. Having the ability to absorb information and see the perspective of both sides allows you to make the best decision possible. Tonight: An important associate reverses direction. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

Close relating is likely to reveal some interesting information. How seriously you choose to take this information depends on you. A dear friend or loved one could be volatile, especially when he or she hears unwanted news. Tonight: The unexpected marks your plans. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Defer to others, as you will want to hear more of what is going on outside of your immediate realm. You might need to question your direction and your long-term goals after an inspiring talk. You’ll certainly gain some insight, if nothing else. Tonight: Where the action is.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Focus on your effectiveness. You sometimes get carried away with a strong idea, or your imagination leads you in a new direction. The unexpected runs riot with a partner. You might unwittingly become involved. Try to maintain your distance. Tonight: Do for you first.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Let some of your rigidity and demand for self-discipline go away for a while. Experience your world differently from how you generally do. Be willing to stop and smell the roses. This experience will help you identify your life values more easily. Tonight: Play out a fun fantasy.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Be more direct with a family member or roommate who seems to live in a different reality from you. If that approach doesn’t work, try walking in this person’s footsteps. If you do, you are likely to understand him or her better. Tonight: Return calls before making a decision.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Examine what is going on around you. Tap into your creativity and your intuition. Though your rationale might not be explainable, your decision and subsequent actions will be. In fact, you’ll discover how good those two traits can be. Tonight: Bring others closer to you.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Consider what is going on. You will want and/or need to keep a close eye on your finances. Just when you thought you had a firm hold on your funds, you could discover otherwise. Feelings also might go to extremes. Tonight: Openly discuss what is going on with a friend.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

Others’ intentions seem promising, but yours will be unusually successful. Those around you will get the message that you understand what is important and a priority. Examine your motives when making a request or what could be seen as a demand. Tonight: All smiles.
