PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) ★★★

Indulge yourself. This holiday season has been hectic. If you can, do buy that one gift you did not get.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ( Jan. 3)

This year, you take a new approach to problems. Though you are forthright, you often do not factor in the impact of your words when trying to speak or share with another person. Be sensitive to where this person is coming from. If single, working on your communication helps your relationship, especially if you add some diplomacy. If attached, the two of you often have unnecessary squabbles. Make it OK to think differently. If you were mirrors of each other, the relationship would become dull and boring. ARIES supports you in your uniqueness.
