Happy birthday. It's your time to put forth your greatest effort yet. You're strong enough, and you'll be even stronger after this power move. The next 10 weeks shine a light on your family, and there's some karma that comes full circle. Money flows after creativity in December, starting a trend for 2016. A wish comes true in March.
ARIES (March 21-April 19): They say that showing up is often 80 percent of success. What they fail to mention is that you have to show up over and over and over. Well, that won't be a problem for you. Your mood: consistent.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Your time to move forward is coming, but it's not here yet. Some will sabotage themselves by succumbing to distraction. Focus. Gather your strength, watch and wait.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21): What's even better than being in a stellar position? Having knowledgeable people close by whom you can call on to help you make the most of it. You'll succeed brilliantly.
CANCER (June 22-July 22): Go ahead and take the job no one wants. There will be hidden benefits. For starters, you'll get time away from everyone, and this will lead to an improved perspective.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Should you stay or should you go? Neither choice is wrong. Neither choice is right. This is a matter of how you want to spend your time. Do what makes you comfortable.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): As far as responsibility and blame go, if you're willing to take it, there will always be someone willing to pass it to you. Therefore, be very careful and strategic in this matter.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): Icarus couldn't find his way out of the labyrinth on foot, and so his dad made him wings. It worked -- except when he tried to high-five the sun. Today's lesson: Be happy, but don't get too carried away.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): As long as the plan is safe and morally sound, it will be important to submit to leadership even though you may not totally agree. Be strategic, and you'll get your chance to lead later.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You do the work whether or not you feel like doing it. Will you remember this next year or three years from now? Maybe not, but you'll still be a different person because of the efforts you made.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Maybe you can't make another person happy, but you can encourage things to go in that direction with your attention to creating a pleasant environment.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): When the immediate moment isn't going so well, it's easy to drift off to a place in the future where things are much, much better. Paint it with your mind so you can inhabit it in full color later.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Your contribution means more than you think. Not only are you doing the best you can, but you're doing the best that has been done in recent history for this particular task -- a task that's much harder than it looks.
