> STARS: MECCA WOODS

The day starts out a bit sleepy. We’re encouraged not to rush into the day doing our usual multi-tasking, but to be choosy about how we make use of our time. Toward the midday, the pace picks up and we’re able to get work done and press forward with our plans. However, a disciplined and meticulous approach is what will help us most. Meanwhile, relationships are also spotlighted, as we’re encouraged to be more selfless and help others. Employing fairness and compromise will help us with getting past hiccups and building stronger connections.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19)

You can make a dream into something real, particularly if you exercise discipline and invest in improving your skills. Seek out mentorship or an assistant.

You could receive promising news regarding a property sale or purchase. Meanwhile, you can finally put a challenging family matter behind you.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20)

You can get more done with a team today than you can get done alone. Allow yourself to be the receiver rather than just the giver.

FOR TODAY’S BIRTHDAY

You’re driven and determined. You rarely shy away from a challenge and often meet difficult situations with a can-do attitude. Being a leader comes naturally to you, which is why others usually defer to you for guidance. You’re also a caring and thoughtful person. It’s not unlikely for you to go out of your way to help or accommodate others. You work hard to make a positive impact on the world around you. This year, as you experience major personal and professional growth, you’ll learn to go easier on yourself when things don’t always go the way you plan them.
