IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY: Actress Emilia Clarke (1986) shares your birthday. You are charming and confident. Your excellent imagination helps your wonderful communication skills. This year you are winding up many things you began nine years ago. It’s time to leave behind heavy burdens and move to something new and lighter! Start to identify what is no longer relevant in your life. You are lightening your load to get ready for new beginnings.

Aries (March 21-April 19):

For the next four weeks, you will be more passionate about practically everything. (Considering how passionate you are any day of the week, this will be interesting.) In particular, you’ll be passionate about two casual topics — money and sex.

Taurus (April 20-May 20):

Because the sun will be opposite your sign for the next four weeks, you will need more sleep. You will focus on partners and close friends, and you’ll have more objectivity to scrutinize these relationships. This means you will see ways to improve them.

Gemini (May 21-June 20):

You want to turn over a new leaf. (Fig?) In the next four weeks, you want to be efficient and super productive. Not only do you want to work hard and smart, you want to run your life more efficiently. Pretty tall order, but you will do it!

Cancer (June 21-July 22):

It’s play city for you for the next four weeks, which means it’s the perfect time for a vacation, or to enjoy sports events, fun socializing with friends, the theater, the arts and musical performances. Romance will flourish!

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22):

Home and family are your top priority in the next four weeks. You might be home more than usual, redecorating or doing repairs so you can entertain with Leo flair. However, you might also be involved with a parent more than usual.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):

The pace of your days will accelerate in the next four weeks because you will have a busy schedule full of short trips, appointments, errands, conversations with siblings and relatives plus increased reading, writing and studying.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22):

You’ll have cash flow and earnings on your mind more than usual in the next four weeks. Fortunately, you will be full of money-making ideas, and will attract money to you as well. We like! Many of you will buy beautiful things, perhaps early holiday shopping?

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21):

The sun is in your sign for the next four weeks boosting your energy and giving you a chance to recharge your batteries for the rest of year. It will also attract favorable situations to you as well as important people. In other words, you rule!

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21):

Because your birthday is a month away, this means your personal year is coming to an end. In the next four weeks, plan for what you want for your new year ahead. How do you want your new year to be different from this year? Define some goals.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19):

Your popularity will increase in the next four weeks — get ready! Not only will you enjoy the company of friends more than usual, especially younger and artistic, creative people — you will also be more involved with clubs, groups and organizations.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18):

The sun will be at the top of your chart for the next four weeks. (This is the only time all year this occurs.) What it will do is cast a flattering spotlight on you that makes you look fabulous to bosses, parents and VIPs. Make the most of this!

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20):

Grab every chance to travel or expand your world because you want to learn something new and you want to adventure! Sign up for a course. Go back to school. Book a trip. At the very least, be a tourist in your own city.
