Happy birthday. If life is a party, you're the "it" guest this year. February is a whirl of fun. After March's call to clear out negativity and dysfunction, you'll work on the fundamental building blocks of good living again in May. July and August are focused on a moneymaking venture with a stellar chance of success if you don't give up.
ARIES (March 21-April 19): You come to the mysterious door and turn the key in the lock, and to your utter delight, you see .... Your answer to the question points to the direction of your happiness. How can you get there faster?
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Your early memories of faith or religion will have a bearing on your thought process today. Recognize that you are still being influenced by someone else's moral code even though you don't completely share it.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21): Because of the way our minds work, whatever the endeavor, the first time is usually the most memorable one. It's time for another first in your life. Make it happen.
CANCER (June 22-July 22): You desire to expand your brain, yet there is a point at which reading too many unfamiliar concepts, words and styles makes you numb, immune to learning or sleepy. Take it in small bites.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): There's a subject that keeps revisiting your mind several times a day, and this is likely to continue until it's resolved. As much as you dislike confrontation, this is probably not going to happen without one.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Sitting quietly and waiting for inspiration won't work. The muses are likelier to visit you while you're walking, cooking, showering or driving. One good idea could change your life.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): You'll practice the kind of skill that is pretty easy to pick up initially but takes years to perfect. Keep at it. The mastery of common things can be uncommon indeed.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): It's not about what happened; it's about the context, mood and feeling -- the incalculable data -- that have to line up with the actual events for the situation to work.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Do you have the manpower, tools and resources necessary to complete a job? It doesn't matter. You'll cross the finish line because of your sheer determination.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Maybe you're not exactly in a state of harmony today, but you will be soon. Trust that, and build your resources for when you'll need them.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Some social scientists have concluded that brainstorming in groups actually impedes innovation. Whether or not that's true, the groupthink will annoy you, and you'll be brilliant on your own.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): There's poetry in simplicity, though -- with the exception of nursery rhymes, haiku and limericks -- it rarely happens in the reverse. You'll have an audience for the beautiful simplicity you concoct today.
