Happy Birthday: Jump in and do your part this year, and you’ll make worthwhile connections. What you do for others will not be forgotten, and the rewards you receive will help you through dire times. Don’t let anger fuel your fire when positive action offers higher returns and greater stability. Take steps toward better health, friendships and happiness; in return, you’ll receive favors. Nurture relationships, but keep your money and possessions separate. Your numbers are 9, 13, 22, 27, 34, 42, 45.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Focus on money, how to make it stretch and setting up a budget that keeps you out of financial disarray. Challenge yourself to set boundaries, get in shape and nurture meaningful relationships. Love yourself enough to let go of toxic influences. 4 stars

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Make changes and stick to them. Responsibility will lead to stability and peace of mind. Don’t give in to someone who believes in wild get-rich-quick schemes. Change only what’s necessary and practical. Use common sense. 3 stars

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Strive to reach your goal. Put your energy into the responsibilities that go part and parcel with a raise or respected position. Refuse to let someone outmaneuver you using false claims. A physical change will boost your confidence. 3 stars

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Get your facts straight before you act. Putting the cart before the horse will leave you open to criticism. Bide your time, get your team on board, and use your attributes and discipline to make a difference. Don’t give too much leeway to others. 3 stars

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Don’t initiate changes you can’t afford. Your appeal will come from what you do, how you choose to live and how you treat others, not from how you look. Focus on positively impacting others, and you’ll gain momentum and reap the rewards. 4 stars

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Your actions will work against you. Get your facts straight and pay attention to what’s possible. A change requires attention if you don’t want to suffer loss. Take baby steps to ensure each action you take is on solid ground. Protect meaningful relationships. 2 stars

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Don’t get involved in something due to temptation. Read between the lines and determine how best to protect your rights and possessions. A gift or gesture will have strings attached. Think twice before you buy into someone’s hype. 5 stars

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): A change of pace will help you view what’s happening from a different perspective. Search for the good and positive in everything and everyone, and you’ll discover something about yourself and how you can make the world around you a better place. 3 stars

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Don’t believe everything you hear. Ask questions, gather facts and speak the truth. Someone will blindside you with sensitive data. Think things through before you respond or pass along information. Put your energy into your responsibilities. 3 stars

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Learn all you can. Don’t enter a debate you can’t win. Do your research, consider your beliefs and assess your direction. A positive change at home will be necessary if you want to impact your future. Trust and believe in yourself. 3 stars

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Tidy up loose ends, lower your overhead and take the most comfortable path rather than follow or appease someone prompting you to do the opposite. Your actions will make a difference in your lifestyle and what you can achieve. Follow your heart. 5 stars

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Size up situations and look for a practical way to deal with anything affecting your emotional well-being. Trust your instincts, and don’t be afraid to do your own thing. Put your energy where it will bring the highest return and make you proud. 2 stars
