Happy Birthday: Keep an open dialogue this year, and progress will unfold. It’s up to you to bring about change and volunteer your help and services to the organizations you want to support. A give-and-take attitude will encourage partnerships that are trustworthy and forward-thinking. Your ability to present and promote what you can do to make a difference will be well-received and appreciated by those who need it most. Your numbers are 8, 15, 22, 27, 36, 44, 49.
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Take the creative path. Using your imagination will help you grow and nurture your desires. Instead of addressing existing issues you face in your domestic realm, consider your choices as well as what you expect to gain from any alteration you implement. Too much, too fast will be your downfall. Slow down, wait and watch. 2 stars
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): It’s what you do that makes a difference. Talk is cheap, and misinformation will face opposition. Now is not the time to push others, but to focus inward and push yourself to be better. Rethink your plans and follow your heart: your life, your terms, your way. 4 stars
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Live, learn and replace what is no longer working for you. Attend functions that offer an in-depth view into something that draws you and feeds your imagination. Act on what moves you visually, not on what others say or do. Work independently of those trying to upend your plans or control the outcome. 3 stars
CANCER (June 21-July 22): Honesty will be crucial if you want to make better choices. Being upfront with yourself or recognizing when someone isn’t being forthright with you is vital if you want to avoid conflict and controversy. Protect against insult, injury and interference. Solid plans are the only means to an end that doesn’t offer fallout. 3 stars
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Refuse to let change hurt you financially. Generosity is your downfall. Focus on learning and engaging in discussions that offer options and unique ways to do some good at a price you can afford. Discipline will be necessary when emotions kick in and leave you at a disadvantage. You can’t please everyone; please yourself first. 3 stars
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Who you associate with matters. Engage in open conversations and connect with individuals who have something valuable to offer in return. Building a plan that fosters steady growth will capture the attention of those seeking change. Consider costs, break down time restraints and map out an itinerary that ensures success. Update your image. 4 stars
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Put your emotions on the sidelines before you engage in a contentious discussion. Focus your energy on personal growth and self-improvement rather than engaging in interactions with someone who can hinder your ability to reach your chosen destination. Make honesty and equality a necessary part of all your business and personal relationships. 2 stars
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Fine-tune your knowledge, experience and skills to fit the changes taking place in your neighborhood, industry or domestic environment. Explore, expand and extrapolate what’s most likely to help you get ahead. Partnering, networking and reconnecting with allies, old friends or former partners will encourage closure and pave the way for new beginnings. Romance and physical improvements are favored. 5 stars
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Rearrange your space to fit your needs and schedule and help maintain your position among friends, family and associates. Don’t feel you have to pay for others when saving for a rainy day will put your mind at ease. Speak up, be the one to make a difference and choose to live life your way. 3 stars
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Indecisiveness will play a role in how your day progresses. Too much or too little will cause an imbalance, making it difficult to reach a conclusion that feels appropriate. When in doubt, take a closer look at what others are choosing to do, and it will help you avoid making mistakes or missing out on opportunities. 3 stars
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Stop dreaming and start initiating your plans. A moneymaking idea will pay off if you put muscle into turning your ideas into a reality. Do the legwork, gather information and take care of the necessary paperwork to avoid unnecessary costs and setbacks. Nurture your domestic situation and relationships. Take control of negotiations. 3 stars
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Concentrate on what’s best for you, and stop worrying about the changes happening around you. Give others the same opportunity you want for yourself.
