LITTLE ROCK — Happy birthday. This year, you will know your star quality and be recognized for your originality. You know what you’re good at, and in the next six weeks, you reach new heights of greatness with it. Romance is kindled as you pursue education. Financial growth happens in May, August and January. Aquarius and Scorpio people adore you.
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Much of the day will have a gentle, peaceful tone in spite of, or perhaps because of, your intensely busy schedule. You’ll go easily from one task to the next, keeping it all together calmly.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You’ll win fans because you are very patient.The thing that is so obvious to you is not apparent to another person. You realize that you have nothing to gain from trying to rush others along.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21): Someday, ATMs will recognize you by scanning your face and will deliver your financial wishes accordingly. For now, there’s someone you know who may serve a similar function.
CANCER (June 22-July 22): You’ll feel driven to express a rather unpopular opinion. Maybe it’s because you feel responsible to speak for those who can’t speak for themselves. It will go down easier with a bit of humor.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): It’s becoming increasingly challenging to keep yourself entertained. Plan an adventure. Giving yourself something to look forward to will help you have the patience to do what’s necessary.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You have something nice to say. Chances are, the one you want to praise has heard it a million times. You’ll find a creative way to phrase your kind words and will make a stellar impression.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): People who don’t give you a normal amount of feedback will deplete your energy. You’ll soon get tired of trying so hard to get a reaction. There’s no joy in it. Seek generous spirits who give as much as they take.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Part of what makes you such a good friend is that you are usually paying attention, as today proves. You’ll be attuned to the changes in a loved one’s attitude, and you’ll check in to make sure all is well.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You’re an excellent reader of people’s “vibes” today.You sense correctly what makes others happy or unhappy, and you deliver accordingly. If you’re in sales, you’ll make a killing.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You’ll find benefit in the advice of your sign mate the late great director Milton Katselas: “When you want to blame, praise instead. Instead of holding a grudge, send a cream puff.”
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Being charming is not the same thing as being a people pleaser. You’ll win people over with your easy-going style, but you’re far too busy to pander to their every need.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Your passionate nature emerges. If you can describe the emotions running through you now, you’ll gain a greater sense of control over them. Naming your feelings will help you tame your feelings.
