Happy birthday. You will have greater control over your words and actions this year, and fewer regrets in the future. Someone special will work to keep you interested.
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Some of the best teachers you will ever have are not alive right now. You'll be drawn to great minds and talents and will find them in many forms and mediums.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Sometimes it seems that a partnership can only support one person's happiness at a time. This indicates a lack of mutual interests. More commonalities need to be discovered or developed.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21): You've been overly modest -- so hard on yourself, in fact, that you can afford to fluff your ego up a bit. For instance, you'll come across most beautifully when you have a notion that you look pretty good.
CANCER (June 22-July 22): This will be a very productive day for you. The wheels of your mind are turning, and they will go even faster when greased with motivation that comes from having a worthy opponent.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You may not know what a loved one is thinking, but today's turbo-charged powers of empathy will help you understand what this person is feeling. By recognizing and speaking to those feelings you can start healing.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): There are those who believe they are weak and hobbled, thus deserving of sympathetic gifts from the world. Do not offer such gifts today. Focus only on the strengths, talents and potential for self-sufficiency in others.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): You are organized, serious and ready to dedicate yourself to a difficult long-term project. A group of similarly focused individuals will help you, as long as you avoid the bullies and buzz-kills in this mix.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Creative bonds are just like romantic bonds in many ways. They work best when there's chemistry, mutual admiration and logistic compatibility. When you find all three, this is not a connection to be wasted.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Don't take the behavior of your "frenemy" too personally. Often relationships that are affable and competitive are complicated in ways that have more to do with history than with the present.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): What matters more to you is not the playground you're in but the playmates with you. Good thing, because the "equipment" may be dilapidated. Watch out for this and other hazards.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Salesmanship is a conversation, and thus it's dependent on good listening and careful navigation of topics. Success happens because you get to know a person before making the pitch.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You'd like to give second chances, but just because a person recognizes, acknowledges and pays for a mistake doesn't mean there won't be more of the same. Can you afford to risk it?
