Happy birthday. You'll find your special place in the world. Even when you know the answers, you'll still benefit from asking for more input, if only because it will teach you how unique your perspective is.
ARIES (March 21-April 19): There is no correlation between creativity and owning things. While it may help to have certain tools, who knows? It may hinder, too. Often artistry is defined by its limitations.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Assume you won't be rewarded for anything you do today. This probably won't turn out to be true, but you're better off coming from that low expectation. It will help you experience the inherent value in your action.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21): There's something you want to sell. Today is about promotion. This part is daunting. You won't feel like you know what you're doing. It may take a few tries before you strike on an effective pitch.
CANCER (June 22-July 22): In a few weeks, you'll get support beyond your hopes. Right now, you're going through an endurance test of sorts. Instead of waiting for their approval, go ahead and approve of yourself. They'll catch up.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): The same words could come from a teacher, a world leader, a child, a criminal or your mom -- the source does not change the truth of the words. As for how many will believe, that's a different story.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): The more generous a person is, the more strong boundaries are necessary. When you clearly know what you're willing and not willing to do, it's easier to give with a joyful heart.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): You accurately assess the strengths of others and assign tasks accordingly. If you're not in a position to assign tasks, you could always just ask people to help. There are a number of people who owe you that.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): In most of today's cases, if you handle what comes up as soon as it does, you'll be ahead of the game and have time to spare when you need it most. Bonus: You'll feel like the big, capable, effective winner you are.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): There are those who are utterly dissatisfied no matter what kind of good fortune happens to land on their lot. Avoid them. They make horrible bosses, customers and friends.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You know some of what you're good at. You also have talents that are so close to you, you don't see them. Let your crew fill you in about what you're missing. To capitalize on your talents, you have to know what they are.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Commit to making consistent efforts toward a certain end for several months, if not an entire year. You need the longer time frame because there will be down cycles that are worth weathering to get to the big win.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): This is a day to strip away the unnecessary items so you better understand and appreciate what it is you really need to do your work. One essential is inspiration. Support is helpful, but optional.
