Happy birthday. Benevolent forces are on your side. Give up your resistance and dive into love in August, and then sit back and enjoy the onslaught of good fortune. September begins an exploration that leads to personal growth. October is lush with social fun. November highlights your serious, dedicated side.
ARIES (March 21-April 19): If you've asked for help from your partner and it hasn't worked, change your question. This person may not be able to give what you're asking, but will likely give something else and gladly.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Remaining true to yourself requires first that you know yourself, which is not an automatic thing. You often have to do what feels wrong before you realize what feels right for you.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21): Anyone can be nice when the circumstances are comfortable, relaxed and conducive to social discourse. The true testament of character is how people behave in times of stress. You'll be patient no matter what.
CANCER (June 22-July 22): There's a pattern emerging between you and a loved one, so give it a good look. Recognize it so you can change it if it doesn't suit you.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): To you, a ringing phone is a suggestion, not an imperative. There's wisdom in controlling the flow of communication.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You may operate in an awkward, quirky way, but the result is still the same as if you had pulled it off with the intended smoothness and grace: People will smile and laugh and be happy.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): You're content, and you don't want to rock the boat, especially when you've worked so hard to maintain a delicate balance. Consider that conflict is not always a negative, and in today's case, it could actually be good for you.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Your social life is awhirl. The best influences are people who are not too much like you. Friendship is at its best and most exciting when it presents an opportunity to do something beyond your normal scope.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You are supportive of friends and family, but don't leave yourself out of the mix. Someone close is ready to give you what you want. Ask for help, and then trust and get ready to graciously accept it.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): The spiritual gift of the day is larger and more profound than any material thing could be, although the feeling of it is simple, light and joyous. This one is life changing.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): As with rain on a wedding day, something unwanted can herald untold beauty and richness with its passing. Recognize the fertile ground an inconvenient detail brings.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Yes, you do what you love. But not often enough, if today's lack of enthusiasm is any indication. Rediscover that energy you had not long ago by putting more "you" into your "you" time.
