Happy birthday. Your emotional bank account is full this year because you care to check the balance often and deposit all that’s necessary to keep things in perfect health. A partner’s sweetness will make the next seven weeks memorable. Next month sees you trading up in some way. You’ll be a top competitor in April. Aquarius and Virgo people adore you.
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Be choosy about your entertainment now because you’re in an impressionable mood, and whatever tone you absorb, you will, to some small degree, take on.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): There’s absolutely nothing you can do to anyone else that will make a difference, but you can change you, and without a doubt, the tendencies of the world will change because of it.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21): The littlest people are the ones who believe there are little people. Truly important people treat everyone with respect. Those who are nasty to their underlings are suffering from low or over-inflated self-esteem.
CANCER (June 22-July 22): Don’t spend too much time thinking about the series of choices that led you here - it all made you a better predictor. Focus on the choices before you and where they are likely to lead.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): The key to happiness is organization. This is not as boring as it sounds. The systems you create to make your life flow with greater ease and elegance will usher you into a new era.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You know yourself pretty well, and yet once in a while you still find yourself taking on a task that you simply are not cut out for. That’s how you grow. Anyway, you’ve never been one to back down just because something is hard.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): There are times when it’s appropriate to knock yourself out to please people, but this is not one of them. Know a no-win situation when you see it, and run the other way.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Socializing will teach you about yourself, especially when you pay attention to the way you feel around certain people. Bonus: The time you spend with others today will show you just how unique you are.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): The difference between theories and practices will prove substantial, so don’t hesitate to take things from idea form to reality. Action will be your best teacher.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You are in the mood to take a risk, but there are some aspects of your life that you shouldn’t leave to chance. Think things through thoroughly. It will help to talk or write them out.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): It’s clear that to achieve your goals you will have to involve other people. The ones around you now may not be the best support team. Keep looking.
