Happy Birthday! Look past any negative influences you face. You’ll feel better when you have taken care of all the pending matters that have been slowing you down. An older relative will need your guidance. Taking care of someone else’s personal affairs will be informative as well as challenging; in the end, it will also lead to greater prosperity. Your numbers are 5, 12, 20, 24, 36, 38,47.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Get out, live in the moment and do the things that bring you joy. Deal with relationships honestly and find out exactly where you stand. An open heart will clear the passage for better days ahead. ★★★★★

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Target what’s doable and put the impossible or unrealistic on the back burner until the timing is more conducive to success. Make every move count, personally and professionally, and make every partnership one that matters. Romance is in the stars. ★★★

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Make a move that will raise your potential to reach your goals. Challenge yourself and those around you to give and do more for the benefit of community, friendship and those who need help. Be a good friend. ★★★

CANCER (June 21-July 22):

A good way to begin is with understanding. Ask questions and consider what makes you and others happy. You will find a way to make life better for yourself and those you care about. Romance is encouraged. ★★★

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Don’t lose sight of what’s important. You may be tempted to cast your fate to the wind and live excessively, but in the end, the regrets will outweigh the accomplishments. Change needs to be built on solid ground. ★★★★★

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Live and learn. Everyone and everything you encounter will have something to offer. What you learn and experience will help you make wise choices that will improve your life, your relationships and your future. Set high standards. ★★

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Make a point of going over pending matters, agreements and money matters. Sharing expenses with someone should be handled fairly and without strings attached. Past experience will help you find a positive way to move forward. ★★★★

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Problems at home or with someone you care about should be handled with patience, concern and a helping hand. You can make a difference if you offer positive suggestions that will encourage others to join in and help. ★★★

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Don’t underestimate anyone who is hovering over you or trying to pressure you into something you don’t need. Walk away from an offer that lacks the reassurance and security to maintain your standard of living. ★★★

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Don’t share too much information. Listen, discuss possibilities and ask questions that will help you better understand what someone wants from you. A change at home will end up being more beneficial than you expect. ★★★

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Question what others do and say. If you take someone at his or her word, you will get an unexpected surprise that will leave you at odds regarding the best way to move forward. If you want something done, do it yourself. ★★★★
