HOROSCOPES

IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY: Listen to others carefully. The conversations you have this year can make a difference to your personal life and your standard of living. Don’t be tempted to be indulgent or make promises that you will have trouble living up to. Think carefully and do what’s feasible to avoid damaging your reputation.

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

Participate in events that allow you to show off your skills and knowledge. You’ve got what it takes to be a leader, so push ahead.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

Emotional outbursts, excessive behavior and overreacting will set you back personally and professionally if you aren’t careful.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

Be careful how you present who you are and what you want. Someone will be eager to use emotional manipulation to make you look bad. Take better care of your health.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

Concentrate on how to best handle your money, expenses and income stream. A chance to bring in more cash should be looked at seriously.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

Overreacting and indulgent behavior will not go over well at home or at work. Curb bad habits before they take over.

Stick to a practical plan. If you take on too much or underestimate the work involved, you will look bad.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Avoid excessive spending just for the sake of self-gratification. You’ll get far more in return if you are prudent about how you handle legal, financial and contractual matters devoid of any emotional interference.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Being a little secretive is in your best interest. Too much information shared with someone who tends to be emotional will leave you in a difficult position.
