Happy birthday. Troublemakers Mars and Uranus meet up. Throw a Pluto square into the mix, and it’s time to take precautions. Inspect your tools to make sure they are in good working order. Get up to date with car, house and health maintenance. Check your motives before you leave the house. Doing things for the right reasons keeps you in the clear.
ARIES (March 21-April 19): How will you lull someone into your world? Good news! Right now, you don’t even have to try. The planets are on your side, so just show up and make your offer.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): By tracking what happened before, you’ll make a good guess as to what’s coming next. You’re excellent at detecting patterns and will use this skill to your advantage.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21): You like complicated people because they have an interesting point of view and usually add a spark of beauty, intellect or humor to your world. You also know better than to get too close.
CANCER (June 22-July 22): You may feel that what’s required of you is unfair. But the fact is that you are asked to do more because you are capable of more. Others see greatness in you, and they want to develop it.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): The requests that are made of you may initially seem difficult to fulfill, but instead of protesting or waffling, you’ll show your confidence by just saying yes. You’ll figure it out as you go.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Your live-and-let-live policy is interrupted by someone who really does seem to need your insight and help. Tread carefully here. An egoless assist could make a huge difference in the life of another.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): The difference between a pro and an amateur is that the pro won’t use as many words. Excuses, explanations and complaints aren’t a part of the pro’s repertoire.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Nothing good will come of forceful tools, attitudes and ways. A warm, soft style will help you stay connected to the people and things that make you feel safe.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Some people think that cheerful, relatable small talk is not intelligent. They’re wrong. We’re all affected by the weather, and talking about it might be the smartest way to build rapport.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Most of us want to avoid high-maintenance people and situations. If you want help, make it easy for others to get involved in what you’re doing. If a task is too involved, it won’t get done.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): If you find yourself thinking that you can do it later, that’s called flinching. Flinching causes people to drop the ball. Use the moment in front of you. Assume you won’t get another chance.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Your creativity may get in the way of the logical statement you are trying to make. Let it interfere. There is a deep and trustworthy intelligence in your imagination.
