Happy birthday. You are the one who matters most to someone. Knowing that you have unconditional love and support gives you courage to do difficult things. You'll choose what you think is right, not what they pressure you to choose, and this sets off a chain of liberating choices. You'll love the development in April.
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Contributing to the peace of the world will not require a grand gesture, just a little tolerance. Here are some ways to contribute: Leave well enough alone. Don't fix what isn't broken. Mind your own business.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You'll have to spend some money to go to the next level in a study, hobby or project. Is this really an expense, or is it a worthy investment in who you are?
GEMINI (May 21-June 21): It's going to take an unrelentingly positive attitude to push through these early stages of a difficult project. Soon enough, you'll be able to quit manufacturing cheer, because you'll have enough actual positive reasons to continue.
CANCER (June 22-July 22): You're innovative in your attempt to solve problems big and small. Right now, while you're busy doing it, there's someone out there saying it can't be done.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You can't take people at face value. The quiet ones might be concealing big emotion; the sweet ones can have a delightfully wicked edge; the funny ones get sad; the sad ones get funny. You wouldn't have it any other way.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): What you love will reward you for loving it. Try it and see. Also, be mindful of your loving style. Try to match it up with the preferences of your beloved over your own.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): As the world becomes increasingly litigious, the contracts made in conversation seem less important to some. That's why people who keep their word are superstars of good character.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Those with beautiful superficiality may also have deep beauty. Give it a whirl and find out. You'll sense the true depth of a person inside five minutes of conversation.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Today will bring a series of inspired blunders and, like a skilled detective, your unassuming ways will allow for the solving of a mystery.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You may know experts and gurus, but your history is by far your greatest teacher. Success will depend on today's review of what you did right, and what you could have done differently.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You decided upon a particular goal long ago but never could quite figure out how to fit the steps toward accomplishment into your life. That's because the timing wasn't as good as it is now. Try again.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You could change history just by saying yes. It follows that you can also change it by saying no. Today brings the rare black-and-white decision. Only say yes if you can say it emphatically.
