Happy birthday. Embrace your ambitions at the top of this solar return and others will, too. This isn't about getting what you deserve, it's about giving what you know you can. The world needs it. Love fortifies and motivates you. May is your chance at a prize. There's a strange turn that begins a mysterious adventure in July.
ARIES (March 21-April 19): People who love you sometimes try to decide things for you. This is a waste of time for them, considering you're not about to adopt anyone else's choice unless it also happens to be yours.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Thinking about the problems of the world again? The solution is near -- it is you. You so clearly see what needs to be done, and there's no reason you shouldn't be the one to do it.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21): The great thing about being born under the sign of the twins is that you're not tied to reacting to life in any one way. Instead of saying "that's who I am," you believe that you are who you decide to be.
CANCER (June 22-July 22): Light travels faster than the speed of sound, creating an out-of-sync relationship between seeing a thing and hearing it. In the delay between, second guesses will abound.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Virtues often seem far less exciting than vices. Take patience, for instance -- not exactly a glamorous quality to strive for. However, to be patient in a moment of anger today will help you escape future days of sorrow.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Games are more fun when everyone understands and plays by the rules. Also, the rules should be explicit in determining when the game is over. It's easier to commit fully when we know it's only for a limited time.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): You're the official greeter of the zodiac now, making people feel welcome around you. It's perfect because there are new people coming into your world, and they will always remember the warm first impression you made.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Something is going wonderfully right in your world, and you can create even more of it if you can only remember your recipe. This is the moment to reflect, observe yourself and write it all down.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Why do you want to do it? What or who gives you the impulse? You can work without being inspired, but you'll be so much more effective if you take the time and make the effort to find your inspiration first.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Short-term comforts will keep you going today. Pepper your life with treats. A nap, a snack, your favorite show are all sparks of pleasure to enjoy in very small bursts between the main events of life's work and purpose.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): The ancients suggested you should not climb trees to look for fish. Though it's not entirely impossible to catch fish from a tree today, if you're hungry for fish you'll go where the probability factor is more in your favor.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): It's fun to spend money on a friend. It will make you happy to do so today, and your friend will also be quite pleased. Furthermore, the generous act will attract good fortune, financial and otherwise.
