Happy Birthday: Formulate a long-term plan, but keep your intentions private, or a copycat will take credit for your ideas. Launch your plans when you feel confident you have left nothing out. You will receive glory for the ingenuity, substance and the flair you bring to your presentation. Nothing worthwhile happens overnight. Your patience and practice will pay off this year, and commitment will lead to stability. Your numbers are 6, 18, 23, 27, 32, 39, 45.
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Look at situations thoroughly. Leave nothing to chance or up to someone else. Be responsible and do whatever it takes to ensure you give your all and do your best. Be aware of how you feel mentally and physically, and adjust what’s necessary to ensure your safety. 3 stars
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): A change will face complexities at a social level, but if you are true to yourself and honest in your approach, you will weather the storm and come out on top. Trust your instincts, do your research and don’t infringe on your reputation or financial intake. 3 stars
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Unexpected change will be difficult to control. Distance yourself from what’s unfolding, and you’ll gain clarity regarding how to respond. A controlled situation will be easier to navigate and to help those you love. Stay calm and lead the way, and something good will transpire. 4 stars
CANCER (June 21-July 22): Size up situations using your intuition and investigative tactics, and you’ll find a way to turn whatever transpires into something that works well for you. A unique approach to an old idea will transform it into something marketable. Put your energy where it counts, and rewards will follow. 2 stars

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Engaging in something you’ve never tried will pique your creative imagination and encourage you to indulge in a new adventure. Spending time with someone unlike yourself will help expand your interests and mind and change your perspective regarding life, love and happiness. 3 stars
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Share only what’s necessary. The less information you offer, the easier it is to fly under the radar and accomplish your goals. Create opportunities, and build a solid base to house your plans. Trust your instincts and be wary of what others do or say. 5 stars
