Happy birthday. Your rules for yourself are what keep you on track, and you'll make some stellar ones in the next three weeks. By the end of May you'll already see the evidence that 2016 represents some major life improvements. A big, joyful love will touch everything you do.
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Emotional-energy-saving tip of the day: Take a gentle, nonconfrontational approach to communication. Avoid if you must. Defer if you can. Sweetness will work wonders, as will a gracious exit strategy.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You'll have a clear sense of what to do. Getting yourself to do it is another story. Mostly this is a matter of being organized and falling into a routine that can be easily repeated.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21): With Mercury as your guiding planet, you're keenly aware of the opportunities to be seized before tomorrow's retrograde. There's such confidence in your approach that others can't help but follow your lead.
CANCER (June 22-July 22): The club you're in now is a very small one. Cherish the other members. Only the ones who are in your league know and appreciate all the work that goes into playing at this particular level.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You'll meet one who has succeeded at this game already and overcome surprising obstacles. For you to win at this too, you'll need to train hard. Much will depend on internal fortitude.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You'll find yourself enjoying the very same thing that others are stressing over. There is opportunity in this dynamic. Perhaps you can relieve their pain for a fee. You truly want others to have as much ease in life as you do.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): Moving forward can be scary, and yet right now you feel oddly undaunted by the prospect. Perhaps you sense there's something very familiar to embrace a few steps beyond where you are.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Do a quick self-esteem check. It would be a shame not to fully accept the abundance this day has to offer you because you simply don't think you deserve it. You do! And how!
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): The difference between excitement and anxiety is a belief that you're safe in the world. You are, so relax. Once you do that, you can direct your energy in a productive manner.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You'll follow a direction, stand in a line, see a need and fill it, all in the name of duty. Don't let this take over your whole day! There really is time to energize your spirit by doing what you want to do, if you make it a priority.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Maybe you don't know exactly how to say what you need to say, but open up and try anyway. You'll be extremely effective in getting your point across; the language of emotions is universal.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Is the relationship progressing or regressing? Don't worry too much about it. Just be mindful not to get too comfortable where you are, and welcome change in whatever form it shows up.
