Happy Birthday: A partnership will have practical
implications but a strong emotional connection will make it
work. Speak your mind and you will get what you want. You
must not allow anyone to get the upper hand. Being prepared
for whatever comes your way will be your saving grace.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Getting help may be
difficult. You are usually so self-sufficient that no one
ever thinks about what you might need. Don\’t despair; just
broaden your time line so you don\’t feel as pressured.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Take on extra tasks and show
everyone how capable you can be when something needs to get
done. You will fool someone who has been trying to take
advantage of you by moving ahead in silence and presenting
your finished project before the deadline.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): A relationship can lead to
setbacks if you neglect your responsibilities. Take care of
business or someone who wants to make you look bad will take
advantage of your shortcomings. Last-minute changes will
save your reputation and position.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): If you are willing to put in
your two-cents worth, you will get what’s owed to you in
return. Your ideas will be considered by someone looking to
make long-term changes. You can position yourself to develop
and oversee the venture.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Get involved in something you
believe in and you will make a great connection that will
help you out personally and professionally. A money making
scheme may not be all it’s made out to be. Maintain a tight
budget and a good savings plan.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): As much as you think you have
a handle on a situation you face, you probably do not. A
loved one will disappoint you if you let him or her make a
decision that will affect you as well. Change is inevitable.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Follow your intuition, not
what someone else is trying to convince you to do. An
emotional issue can be put to rest with compassion and a
firm hand. Your strength, belief and experience will make
others bend to your requests.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You may want to cover your
back and avoid anyone trying to coerce you into doing
something you don’t feel good about. Talks and putting pen
to paper will allow you to come up with an agreement that
you can live with.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Take on a new challenge
and you will get to know someone who has had experiences
that can help you resolve your current situations. An
interesting relationship will develop, leading to more than
just a friendship.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Problems with legal
concerns, contracts or finances can be brought to the
attention of whoever is causing you grief and can be
resolved. Your stamina and ability to get things done will
help you force issues.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Put your heart and soul on
the line and you will get a response that will heighten your
feelings, allowing you to make some essential alterations to
your home and lifestyle. Don’t get angry if someone tries to
stand in your way but do refuse to budge.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Keep a relationship you are
interested in starting under wraps for now. Love is on the
rise but, before you can let a romance develop, you must get
your life in order and issues with past partners resolved.

Birthday Baby: You are a team player and a great
companion. You are intuitive and take on challenges with
courage and determination.
