LITTLE ROCK — Happy birthday. A different way of eating or exercising improves your health and image. A funny coincidence triggers a chain of good luck. Follow your curiosity into a new circle of friends in January. New living arrangements are featured in March.
ARIES (March 21-April 19): You’ll be a translator of sorts, helping people communicate. Just as a song sung half in one language and half in another catches more ears, your work in two areas will attract customers.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): There’s something about a formal setting that brings out the best and worst in people. When the stakes seem high, every move becomes significant. Formalities provide the opportunity for observation and analysis.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21): Stay attuned to the people around you. Also, beware of those who are more interested in the rest of the room than in the ones they are with. It’s either a sign of distress or a weakness of character.
CANCER (June 22-July 22): Would you rather be with someone who talks nonstop or someone who barely speaks? You may get a taste of both personalities now, as colorful and quiet people will be attracted to you.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): If the effort to be fun makes you feel frantic instead, consider that it might not be your fault. Maybe it’s the other person.You deserve to have a stable presence in your life, someone who makes you feel safe and relaxed.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You long for life to bring a new color that your eyes have never touched. It could happen if you’re willing to go out of your way to crush monotony.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): Though you don’t like the dirty, icky, squishy things that sometimes happen organically, you still have a capacity for becoming enthralled by nature. You’ll experience such beauty tonight.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): You know how comforting it is to get the signals from others that you are accepted “as is.”Therefore, you give those signals to others, making them feel relaxed and welcome.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Like the flow of traffic on a freeway, the current pacing of your environment is the result of many collaborative factors. Matching the pace is smart. Pushing it along or holding it back isn’t.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You lack a few of the tools and techniques you need to get your talent to the world. Someone will help you remedy that situation today.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): In the future, people will behave much the same way they are behaving right now. Because you expect this, your antennae are fully extended.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): The wound healed long ago, but the scar remains to tell the story. In time, that too will fade. But for now it’s part of you. If you embrace it, everyone else will, too.
