Happy Birthday: Offer what you can; nothing more. Your time is valuable, and you’ll want to expend your energy on beneficial projects, proposals and pastimes that support your chosen lifestyle. Home improvements will require undivided attention and hands-on help to ensure you come in under budget and are happy with the results.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Expand your interests, friendships and places you frequent.

Don’t limit what you can do when a little effort will go a long way. 3 stars
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Say no to temptation, overspending and taking on responsibilities that don’t belong to you. Your generosity will put you in a vulnerable position. Establish what you are willing to do and what you are not. Offer suggestions but not hands-on help. Promote and market yourself instead of being someone else’s minion. 5 stars
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Declutter your life. Instead of going overboard and stretching yourself emotionally, financially and physically, look inward and ask yourself what’s best for you. Eliminate what tires you out and stands in your way. It’s time to enjoy life and to let go of whatever stands between you and your happiness. 2 stars
CANCER (June 21-July 22): Refuse to let uncertainty stop you from chasing your dreams. Stand up, be counted and take responsibility for your success.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Listen, learn and gather information that might come in handy later.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Go on a learning safari. Dig deep, follow the dots and ask experts; you’ll gain insight into what it will take to get things up and running.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Stay tight-lipped until you have verified the facts and organized your thoughts, developing a feasible plan to accomplish your goal. Keep your life simple; be direct, and do not allow anyone to talk you into something that might encroach on your financial or emotional well-being. 3 stars
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Don’t let anger eat your energy. You have better things to do with your time and should align yourself with those who build you up, not tear you down. Get out, network and join forces with those who offer stability and loyalty, and push your way forward. A personal gain will require hands-on help. 4 stars
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Trust your instincts and abilities, and bypass anyone trying to stand in your way. Use your ingenuity and charm to move forward.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Be honest regarding monetary situations. Don’t spend what you don’t have or get involved with people who request you do so.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Get out and spin what you want to promote. Update and use your skills to fill a niche that is in demand.
