Happy Birthday! Stick to simple and affordable changes this year. Don’t let anyone talk you into something that makes you feel uncomfortable. Remain focused on accomplishing your goals.

Your numbers are 2, 10, 18, 27, 33, 38, 46.

ARIES (March 21-April 19):

You’ll face opposition at home if you make alterations without approval. Whether it’s building code or utilizing space that someone else may have other plans for, look for ways to compromise instead of bulldozing ahead without thought.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20):

A lifestyle change based on the information you have gathered will turn out well. Keep your projects simple, effective and within your means, and greater stability will be yours.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20):

Discuss important legal, financial and medical issues with the experts. Don’t let anyone make a decision for you. Decipher what your options are and what your next move should be.

CANCER (June 21-July 22):

Consider how best to handle whatever arises without overreacting or making rash decisions that will leave you in a questionable position. Time is on your side, so, when in doubt, wait to see what transpires.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22):

You may question what others are doing, but don’t let your emotions stop you from doing what’s right. Listen to the voices of reason and make decisions based on facts and figures, not what your peers might think is popular. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Stay in control. Don’t make rash moves based on hearsay. Moderation will be necessary when asked for donations or handouts. Don’t allow anyone to play on your emotions or take advantage of you. Be smart and offer suggestions, not cash.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22):

Look for alternative routes if you face a roadblock. Controversy will rise up if you disagree with someone who can influence your life at home or at work. Take action and show how reliable and responsible you can be.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21):

Delve into something that interests you. The people you encounter will enrich your life and give you something to think about. Do your own research to find out how to improve your standard of living. Share your feelings and make suggestions.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21):

You can make innovative changes that will brighten your life. Look back at some of your past accomplishments and failures and you will find alternative ways to use your experience to better your position and make financial gains.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19):

Try not to let your emotions or your ego get in the way of making a good decision. Overreacting will not help you win support. When in doubt, it’s best to pause and take a deep breath.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18):

Don’t make unnecessary alterations to the way you handle your money. Keeping a close tab on your bank account will help you avoid being overdrawn or unprepared. Play it safe and avoid undue stress.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20):

Stay focused and intent on the goals you set. Letting someone change your direction or interfere in your progress will lead to loss or failure. Be true to yourself and stick to your game plan.

Birthday Baby:

You are balanced, progressive and determined. You are proactive and forthright.
