Happy Birthday! Emotional matters will surface if you aren’t up-front about the way you feel or what you expect. Transparency will be in your best interest, and asking direct questions when in doubt will encourage others to be up-front with you as well. When it comes to emotional matters, don’t leave anything to chance. Your numbers are 9, 15, 21, 28, 36, 39, 42.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Don’t allow the changes going on around you to hold you back. You can make headway if you focus on personal changes that bring joy to your life and improve your relationship with someone you love. ★★★

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Consider the way you would like to see things unfold and head in that direction. A day trip or talking to someone you look up to will make you realize how much you have to offer. ★★★★

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Getting things right the first time won’t be easy if you get caught up in someone else’s melodrama. Take a step back and consider what’s been said, and adjust your way of thinking to do what suits you best. ★★

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Use your imagination, but don’t make promises you won’t be able to honor. Depending on someone else to pitch in and help will lead to disappointment. Do your own thing and surprise someone you love with something awesome. ★★★★★

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Engage in activities or events that will bring you the mental stimulation you crave. Sharing ideas will lead to new endeavors that will help bring about positive personal change. Don’t be too trusting. Gather information but work alone. ★★★ VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Problems at home will make you question your current situation. Get out and surround yourself with people you find stabilizing and emotionally sound. The advice you receive from someone you know you can trust will be valuable. ★★★

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Pick someone’s brain and learn all you can about something that interests you, but don’t make a move without considering all the pros and cons. Change begins within, and being fully prepared will help the process run smoothly. ★★★

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You’ll be misinterpreted if you aren’t careful with what you say. Emotional matters will be difficult to decipher, and asking direct questions will be essential. Emotional manipulation should not be used to pressure someone. Honesty is your best alternative. ★★★★★

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Don’t promise one thing and deliver something else. Problems with communication and authenticity will surface, and someone is likely to disappoint you as much as you do them. Offer peace and love, not chaos. ★★

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Study trends and look at what’s happened in the past before you dive into something that could set you back. The research you do will help you make choices based on your findings, not what someone leads you to believe. ★★★★

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Thrive on change and doing things that make you feel good about yourself and what you have to offer. A makeover or new physical activity will encourage you to be more playful and amorous with your partner. ★★★

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Honesty will keep you out of trouble. You may want to avoid upsetting someone, but in the long run, truth counts. Communication will be necessary if you want to maintain your integrity, regardless of the outcome. Do what’s right. ★★★

Birthday Baby: You are imaginative, unique and humorous. You are aggressive and opportunistic.
