Happy Birthday! Take care of business. Get your paperwork in order and leave nothing unfinished. Organization and preparation will make a difference to the way your year unfolds. Knowledge will become a powerful tool when engaging in personal finances, contracts and dealing with institutions. Prosperity will be dependent on how you use what you know and already have at your disposal. Your numbers are 6, 14, 23, 29, 31, 35, 44.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Be careful what you wish for. Sometimes life isn’t the way it appears. An opportunity is more of a lateral move. Make a change for the right reason, not because you are bored. Fix what you can rather than discard and replace. ★★★

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): A solid plan, hard work and the desire to get ahead will be what you need to reach your destination. Pour your energy into making it happen. Life is short, and procrastination leads to regret. Get moving. ★★★

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Ask yourself tough questions and answer honestly. Once you are clear about what you want and how you feel, it will be time to set the record straight. Much can be accomplished if you take a step in the right direction. ★★★

CANCER (June 21-July 22): You’ve got what it takes to make a difference, not only to yourself but to others as well. Step up and speak up about the way you feel and what you want to accomplish. ★★★★★

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Don’t let anger erupt. Have patience, and think matters through before making a change that could turn out to be to your detriment. Keep the peace, and doors will open that will lead to new opportunities. Be smart and come out ahead. ★★

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Put more energy into selfimprovement, personal growth and being the best that you can be. Fitness, proper diet and surrounding yourself with people who have as much to offer as you do is a good place to start. ★★★★

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Take the high road, regardless of what others do. Sensible change will help you navigate your way through any difficulties you face. Charm and compassion will outmaneuver those who want to see you fail. Trust and believe in yourself. ★★★

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Emotions will surface. Clear the air, say what’s on your mind and find out where you stand and how best to proceed. A positive change can take place if you do so with honesty and love in your heart. ★★★

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Your openness will do you in if you share too much information with someone who wants to make you look bad. Protect your personal information, passwords and possessions. Focus more on personal improvements, not trying to impress others. ★★★★

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Make some positive changes at home. Donate what you no longer use, and unclutter your life emotionally and physically. You will feel good and be ready to engage in new beginnings. ★★

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Keep plugging away to get ahead. How you handle others and deal with decisions will help you getting the backing you need to bring about positive change. Know what you want, keep your plans simple and finish what you start. ★★★

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Help others, but not at the expense of missing out on something you wanted to do or spending too much. Practicality and moderation will ensure that you offer only what’s feasible. A romantic gesture or compliment will brighten your day. ★★★★★

Birthday Baby: You are methodical, curious and proactive. You are helpful and entertaining.
