Happy birthday. You'll meet the people you want to know this year. You might find that you've idealized them, or you'll hit it off like a candle and a match. May is your perspective-changer. A new goal carries you through the following two months. Spend on your family and on creating special experiences.
ARIES (March 21-April 19): You like to be around the kind of people who know what they want, and you don't mind if what they want is you. But you prefer a direct approach. You'll be skeptical of roundabout communication.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You want everyone to know whom you love, but you don't want them to talk about your love life. That's why you'll keep your business private. It will drive your nosy friends nuts.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21): Are your expectations realistic? If you're frustrated, the answer is no. But that's not a problem. All you have to do is adjust and then revisit the situation until you hit that sweet spot where expectation meets reality.
CANCER (June 22-July 22): Your skills may seem arbitrary to you, and sometimes you think they don't matter to anyone outside of your little corner of the world. Not true! The reaction you get from others will prove the point.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You have a nose for trouble, and you'll use it today to steer away from the danger, not toward it. You don't need the excitement. You've already seen enough drama, and besides, you're too busy.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Compliments are gifts you sometimes feel awkward accepting. Take them, and you feel greedy. Turn them down, and you feel rude. The way to go is to shift the focus back to the graciousness of the one doing the complimenting.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): Cultivating a content and thankful spirit can seem diametrically opposed to your main ambitions, but it's really not. Finding something to appreciate in the less than ideal will attract good luck.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): It's weird how the smallest things can expand your heart as big as a hot air balloon and set you sailing across the cloudless sky of your mind. This all happens for one reason: You were noticing.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): When you lose your cellular connection with someone, it's not because the other person isn't there and wanting to talk to you. It's just outside interference. Other personal connections are the same. Call again.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): A conflict may be subtle at this point, but it's there all the same. You're not imagining it. In fact, you have witnesses. Play it cool. Show everyone watching that you're above this fight.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): There are interesting people out there you know about and want to meet. Also, there are equally interesting people you know nothing about who want to meet you. Be open to the friendliness of strangers.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): The old saying goes, "Fall down seven times, stand up eight." As the sign associated with feet, you might take a more practical approach -- for instance, a sturdier pair of shoes.
