Happy Birthday: Be ready for the unexpected. Someone or something is likely to stand in your way or slow down your progress. You have to call the shots if you want things to turn out the way you planned. An emotional issue may lead to a new family responsibility. Ongoing challenges will prove your capabilities and shouldn’t be viewed as negative.
ARIES (March 21-April 19): You may have to move things around to cover your costs. A new friendship will prove beneficial in more ways than one. Making changes to your lifestyle will pay off monetarily.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)): Don’t let someone’s insensitivity get the better of you. Refuse to make a decision until you have all the facts and feel confident you are making the right choice.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Take a deep breath before you lose patience and do something you’ll regret. Someone you hook up with will have plenty to contribute but, if you think you are being upstaged, you may react poorly. Avoid uncertainty.
CANCER (June 21-July 22): Determination coupled with desire will give you a competitive edge, so don’t hesitate to participate. Romance is in the stars and can lead to an intimate encounter late in the day if you play your cards right.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): It will be hard to stifle your emotions, let alone stay out of trouble. Personal issues will lead you into battle if you aren’t careful. You may be able to win the fight but the way you feel afterwards won’t be satisfying.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Expect someone around you to shake things up and cause you to think about how best to protect your interests. Uncertainty regarding a contract, legal or financial matter may leave you in limbo.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Deal with your own responsibilities first. Someone is likely to make you feel vulnerable by bringing up a subject you aren’t ready to discuss. Being misinformed will lead to a poor assumption on your part.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You can stand up for your beliefs and your rights but, if you are too stubborn to compromise, you can expect your adversary to walk away. Consider what you have to do to ensure that your future is secure and implement the necessary change.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Don’t be fooled by copycats. If you look for the real deal, you will find it at the best price. Voice your ideas and offer your experience and you will make a good impression.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Be honest about what you did and didn’t contribute or you may be questioned or put in an awkward position. Surround yourself with positive people who have similar interests. Educational pursuits will give you greater skills and confidence.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You may feel like taking a risk but there will be underlying facts leading to loss. An emotional matter will cost you if you haven’t been upfront or fair with past dealings. The way you handle others will determine what you will get in return.
Birthday Baby: You are curious, capable and always in pursuit of knowledge. You are direct and persistent in accomplishing your goals.
