IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY: Actress Polly Walker (1966) shares your birthday. You have a calm, detached even regal style. This can make you convincing when talking to others. Personally, you are focused and determined. This year you have a stronger zest for life, which is why you will enjoy socializing and reaching out to others. Let your hair down and have fun!

Aries (March 21-April 19): Move forward with confidence when dealing with financial matters today. These could relate to current earnings, or potential future earnings; but ideally, it will be matters that you have already set in motion. Trust your “big” ideas! You’re on a roll!

Taurus (April 20-May 20): Today the sun in your sign is dancing with big daddy Pluto, which gives you a powerful energy to look around and decide what needs to be changed or improved. Do you need to introduce reforms into your daily world? You can make these changes rather easily now.

Gemini (May 21-June 20): Today your ruler Mercury is retrograde, and dancing with lucky Jupiter, which means you have lots of optimistic, hopeful energy to finish projects that you have already started. Your hopes and wishes are more important to you today. Write down your plans for the future. Get a bead on where you’re headed.

Cancer (June 21-July 22): You will find that you will express yourself more forcefully talking to friends and members of groups. Because you can do this so easily, you will make a strong impression on someone! (If you see the hair blowing back over their ears, take it easy.)

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): A discussion with a parent or boss will be intense and powerful. Be careful you don’t cross a line and threaten them in any way because you will be forceful. You want to get things done and you want to move quickly! Nevertheless, remember that you catch more flies with honey than vinegar.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You might want to avoid subjects like politics, religion and racial issues because these will be buttons that could trigger arguments with others. This is because you are coming on like gangbusters, even if you don’t realize it. Note: Someone else might come on just as strong! This is a recipe for a fight.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You can see how to improve a financial arrangement with someone today. It might be about reducing debt or dealing with taxes and insurance issues. It might be a better arrangement on how to deal with shared property? One thing is certain: You’ll have no trouble making your case.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Today you might attract someone to you who is very powerful. Nevertheless, you will also be powerful — so express yourself with care and good judgment. This is an excellent day to join forces with someone to investigate something.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21):

Today you’re gung-ho to introduce reforms so that you can improve your health. Meanwhile, some of you will use this same energy to introduce reforms to your job or how you do your work. The bottom line is you intend to make things better!

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Whether you are in sports or the arts or music, be aware that today is an excellent day to practice something. That’s because you will get way more results for your efforts than you usually would. Practice dance, arpeggios, catching a ball, batting, martial arts — whatever.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You will see ways to introduce improvements to where you live today, especially in areas related to plumbing, bathrooms, garbage and recycling. Meanwhile, in a family discussion, a secret might come out. Or you might suspect that a secret exists.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): You are super convincing today when talking to others, which makes this a strong day for those of you in sales, marketing, teaching, acting as well as writing. Personally, you might want to determine what motivates you? What changes do you need to make?
