Happy birthday. It’s your year to turn a mediocre situation into something truly remarkable. Group efforts are favored in November, and together you’ll make the important difference you couldn’t make alone. Regardless of the weather in January, your heart feels like an endless stretch of sunny skies.
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Find out what people want before you start giving them things.
If you do it the other way around, you’ll have given what’s valuable to you and you will not have solved their problem.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): It will be better to say less.
You can always add more words and information later, but you can never take back what you already said.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21): You may feel it is your duty to do something, and yet you may not agree with the thing you must do. In this case, it’s time to change your role because you are no longer suited to it.
CANCER (June 22-July 22): One small light can be seen through miles of darkness.You’ll be that light in someone’s dark hour today.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Be careful of how you wield that wonderful sense of humor.When you make your friends laugh, they will add you to their short list of favorite people.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Acting is not just for movie and stage stars.You play a role at work that requires you to bring a different face to the job.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): You will accept some of destiny’s dealings, but not all of them - and that’s good. Progress is made by those who aren’t content to let the whims of fate knock them around.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): You may not like the way things are managed, but you know better than to log a complaint. The surest, fastest way to get things in order is to order them yourself.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): The odds are in your favor. Those who don’t act in accordance with their own good luck have less of a chance of success than those who act to conquer their bad luck.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): When the world shows its less-than-beautiful side, you may find it intolerable, but you won’t be discouraged. Instead, you’ll work to build your beautiful world.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Imagination is not an impediment to logical behavior. Your creativity will serve to enhance a reasonable plan.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Things won’t go completely according to your script. Still, if you take the time to plan out your day, you will be glad in the end because much of what you plot will come to fruition.
