Happy Birthday! You’ll have difficulty dealing with inevitable changes. Use reason and common sense to work through any situation that will require you to adapt. Going with the current instead of against it will be your best bet. Your willingness to be open and objective will help you win over anyone who stands in your way. Your numbers are 5, 11, 16, 24, 35, 38, 46.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Stick close to home. Travel, communication and dealing with matters that are manipulated by outside influences should be handled with care. Listen to instructions carefully and do what’s expected of you. ★★★★

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Take care of your health and don’t take part in physical encounters that have the potential to lead to injury or poor health. Don’t spend money just to impress people. Think twice before you help someone who asks for your money or help. ★★★

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You may crave change, but it’s best to take your time and iron out any details that need adjusting before you move forward. Understanding the process required to be successful will encourage you to say less and do more. ★★★

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Emotional matters will escalate. Be honest about the way you feel and what your intentions are. You can make a difference if you dedicate your time to a cause you believe in, but try to avoid making financial commitments. ★★★

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): The changes you want to make should be done with proper motives. Look around you and make sure you are associating with people who are up-front and live by the rules. Getting involved with someone questionable will cost you. ★★★★

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Consider joint endeavors carefully and determine what your rights are should you walk away from an agreement. Decide what’s acceptable and negotiate on your own behalf. Show compassion and dismiss anger. ★★

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Your due diligence will pay off, and the changes you want to make can be put into play. Don’t worry about the fallout — it’s time to cut your losses and move in a direction that will satisfy your needs. ★★★★★

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You’ll have a better handle on what you need to do in order to get ahead. Be the driving force behind your ideas instead of waiting for someone else to take the lead. Choose intelligence over emotion. ★★★★★

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Concerns surrounding relationships will make it difficult to get things done. Document what’s going on and who says what in order to avoid being blamed for something you didn’t do. You are overdue for a personal change. ★★★

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Problems with one of your peers should be handled carefully. Try to find solutions before you share your concerns with others. Interference will only make matters worse, and the blame will fall in your lap. ★★★

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Share your space with the people you love. Host an event or sign up for an activity that will help motivate you to engage in fitness and proper dietary habits. Keep distance between yourself and friends who make poor choices. ★★★★★

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Don’t get into a senseless argument. Emotions will be close to the surface, making it difficult to deal with people. Focus on your talents and skills and doing your best to make positive changes. Offer love, not controversy. ★★

Birthday Baby: You are forceful, sensitive and changeable. You are aggressive and protective.
