IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY: President Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865) shares your birthday. You are an original thinker who is an idealist. Some might view you as eccentric. This is your year of harvest and major achievements because you are reaping the benefits of the last decade. You will taste power and leadership in all your relationships. Get going. Make it happen! It’s time to think success, power and money!
Aries (March 21-April 19): You feel rebellious today. You will take umbrage if someone else tries to tell you what to do. You feel impulsive! The underlying current of energy that you experience today will cause you to want to make a break for freedom. “I’m outta here!”
Taurus (April 20-May 20): You will be restless today, no question. You might be indecisive about what to do next but you feel you must act. Be patient dealing with authority figures. Do not lash out at them or be lippy. Fortunately, this is not your style. Be calm and collected and think before you respond to others.
Gemini (May 21-June 20): Because you are excitable and impulsive today, you might say or do something you later regret. In particular, be conscious of what you do in group situations whether this is dealing with group sports or your interaction with a club or an organization. Think before you speak.
Cancer (June 21-July 22): Be careful talking to authority figures today — the police, bosses, parents and teachers — because you feel rebellious! (You don’t want to be bossed around.) Take a step back and survey the situation. Who wants to end up with egg on their face? Not you. Therefore, be polite and be smart.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Avoid controversial subjects when talking to others today because arguments can break out in a New York minute. People are impulsive and brash today. They are also slightly angry and rebellious. Don’t try to make anyone agree with your way of thinking. Forget it. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Disputes about shared property, inheritances and insurance might arise today. Check your bank accounts and financial deals because sudden reversals and unexpected changes can take place today. You don’t want to be caught unprepared if something out of the blue occurs.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Use all your diplomatic skills (which you have in abundance) when dealing with partners and close friends today to avoid an argument. Even then, you might find yourself at cross purposes with someone you love. Patience is your best ally today because patience is the antidote to anger.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Your work routine will be interrupted today by computer crashes, power outages, machinery breakdowns, staff shortages or accidents, especially related to metal and electricity. Stay calm and keep your cool. Be mindful and alert. Today is a crapshoot!
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Do what you can to avoid sports accidents today. Meanwhile, parents should know that this is an accident-prone day for their kids so be extra vigilant. Romantic relationships are also susceptible to sudden quarrels and upsets. Be nice. Lots of unexpected stuff happening right now.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Something unexpected will impact your home routine today; hopefully, it is not an accident. Nevertheless, be vigilant and slow down to avoid accidents. Small appliances might break down or minor breakages could occur at home. If you take it easy and are mindful, you can avoid problems.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): This is an accident-prone day. However, most accidents that occur today will happen because people are impatient or angry. If you keep your cool, you can avoid problems. Nevertheless, expect your routine to change. Give yourself extra time to cope with the unexpected. Drive defensively.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Keep an eye on your finances today. You might find money; you might lose money. Guard your possessions to avoid loss, theft or damage. Be careful about impulse shopping. Rebellious, rash actions might make you throw your money around or lose something. Keep your receipts.
