Happy Birthday: You’ll be pulled in many different directions this year. Timing will be crucial, especially where contracts and partnerships are concerned.

Your numbers are 2, 12, 21, 26, 35, 38, 44

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Enjoy the company of people who have similar interests. Someone will help you advance in your chosen field. A turn of events regarding love will lead to a good decision.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Don’t give up too much in hopes of getting what you want. Emotionally, it will be a stretch to get along with friends and family. Don’t disagree — wait for a more opportune moment to prove your point.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You should be separating yourself from the crowd and dancing to your own beat. There is plenty to gain from being an individual with original ideas and the passion and drive to take on a challenge.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Just because everything is up in the air or not going according to plan, don’t let it get to you. Stick to what has worked in the past and you can pull things together. An added responsibility will lead to profitable returns.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Don’t give anyone a false impression as to what you actually have to offer. Emotions will be difficult to control if someone doesn’t see things your way. You will change your mind about something you’ve been considering.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Problems with rules and regulations will leave you at odds about what to do next. Rely on your common sense and practical applications in order to come out unscathed. Don’t take chances or share your secrets.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Trust in yourself and you will avoid making the wrong decision. Someone may not feel the same way you do about the future but that doesn’t mean you have to give in and follow a path that doesn’t suit you.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Just follow through and you will find an outlet for something you have wanted to get off the ground for a long time. Uncertainty at home and in your personal life may need to be addressed. Alternative living arrangements will allow you the freedom you require.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You’ll be torn between what you should do and what you want to do. Don’t let your emotions take over or lead you down a path that will cost you personally, legally or financially. Times are changing and you need to update and move on.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You’ll be able to talk your way in and out of anything but that won’t solve problems or keep matters from escalating. Face the music and sort through any disagreements you have before it’s too late to salvage anything.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): The more time and effort you put into work or developing something you want to pursue, the better. Someone can help you get things off the ground but don’t expect him or her to do the work for you. Love is on the rise.

Birthday Baby: You are intelligent, articulate and determined. You speak conservatively but are willing to try new ways of doing things.
