LITTLE ROCK — Happy birthday. The year is spiced with “blessons” (blessings that are also lessons), and you’re a grade-A learner. You’ll plunge into a different culture. By the end of February, a change to your personal life will be set in stone.
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Step back, and you’ll see that what you think is your duty may really just be your habit.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): A person who is relentlessly positive could make you feel like a whiner. You both have your reasons, and neither way is entirely right.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21): You’ll give your best effort, so knowing what matters is crucial. Efforts that are in your control are the only ones that count today.
CANCER (June 22-July 22): Sharp-tongued people who don’t let anything get by them impress you. You’ll pick up on this energy and run with it.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): The moon drifting through the last degrees of your sign is a reminder of how far you’ve come: What used to bother you is no longer an issue.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): It’s not enough to have a plan. You must also have the energy and resources to execute it. The best plans are simple.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): You will likely get imperfect service that fills a need in some quirky, unexpected way.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Material goods will be part of the day’s agenda. Listen carefully and talk sparingly, and you’ll trade up in some measurable way.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Your guiding planet will change direction in a matter of days. You will find yourself contemplating a momentous happening that is about to occur.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): If one more person suggests “it’s all for the best,” you’re likely to lose it. Surround yourself with emotionally intelligent and empathetic types today.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): The state of “flow” you so often find yourself in this week is not just about doing good work. It’s about fully engaging in life.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Make time for the ones who propel you forward and also for the ones who deserve you.
