Happy birthday. This birthday comes with mental fireworks and social excitement. Investments pay in November. You'll spend October and January on a more low-key note, getting your life organized and spending some quiet time coming up with your next big idea. Promises exchanged in June will be solemnly kept. Aquarius and Capricorn people adore you.
ARIES (March 21-April 19): You're considering a change. Before you embark, ask the ones who have implemented a similar move what their day-to-day lives are like. You need more information.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Before you spend one penny on professional help, see what you can get for free. Libraries, community groups, alumni associations, meet-ups, discussion panels -- there are many resources you haven't tried yet.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21): In some way, you'll be set free. This might have to do with a choice you've been contemplating but haven't found a reason to commit to. Now you'll have your reason.
CANCER (June 22-July 22): You're in the mood to build something that will last. As the 19th-century philosopher William James said, "The great use of life is to spend it for something that will outlast it."
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You'll deal with a situation in the most positive way you can think of, and the results will be a reduction in anxiety, a release of the tension you've been living with and an overall sense of moving forward.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): If this day were a toy, it would be Legos. You have the same Lego bricks as everyone else who bought a box of Lego bricks. However, you build something completely original with them.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): It's becoming clear that if you really want to feel connected with someone who remains distant, you'll have to build a bridge. This, like most bridge building, will be a lot of work with some risk involved, too. Are you ready for it?
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Things are exciting when up in the air, but eventually they have to land, or it seems the cosmic laws aren't working right, and that would be disconcerting. There is a very strong need for resolution tonight.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): A good story is never a straight line, and you're in the patient and flexible mood to follow the swirls and detours that will make today's story truly entertaining.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): There's a steady pattern going on that you're just now recognizing. You can predict what's coming next, and you'll use it to your highest advantage.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): The big ideas will be too big. Others won't be able to relate until you take it from macro to micro. How does it apply to your daily life? Show that, and you'll have an interested audience.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Approach that cranky loved one as you would a lake of thin ice. Altogether avoidance is a good way. But if you simply must get to the other side, do so with light, quick steps. Lingering is too dangerous.
