Happy birthday. You’ll entertain loved ones who will remember this month as the good times.You’ll start by doing what you can do in 2014, and you’ll wind up doing what no one, not even you, thought you could do. In January, you’ll test authority - defer only if it passes your test.
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Collective problem solving is a feature ofthe day. You don’t need to know the answer to chime in. Each idea builds on the next. The realizations will belong as much to the group as they do to any single person.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Archimedes said, “Give me a lever long enough and a fulcrum on which to place it, and I shall move the world.” You will be searching for a point of leverage today. Once you figure out how to position yourself, you’ll be persuasive.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21): Remember when you put on a brave face even though you were sad and afraid? Someone who is having a hard time is doing the same for you now. Be sensitive to what is really going on.
CANCER (June 22-July 22): You’re likely to meet salty characters, and you’ll enjoy them. A captain who has navigated rough waters has more to teach than one who has known only smooth sailing.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You don’t expect life to be fair, but you do expect your loved ones to hang in there with you through the inequities. Today you’ll model the principle for a friend of yours who is going through a hard time.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): People pay attention to what interests them. Instead of fighting it, you’ll use this knowledge to your advantage, wrapping your message in the packages your loved ones find the most appealing.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): If you don’t know what you are getting out of an exchange, you won’t want to go through with it. For the other person’s sake, figure out what’s in it for you.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Your conscience is stricter than the laws or social rules of our time. When you step out of bounds, your conscience makes noise much more alarming than the chirping of a cricket.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Put your projects on the schedule, or they won’t get accomplished. If you don’t fill in the blanks, someone else will. It’s better to be alone than to be with people you don’t like.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You’ll be reminded of your intellectual standards. A beautiful face isn’t attractive to you unless there’s also a good brain behind it. You could find what you’re looking for in a Virgo or an Aquarius.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): A certain mysterious and attractive someone has been on your mind. Though difficult to get to know, this person will be wonderful to have in your life, so be persistent. It will pay off.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Pop artist Andy Warhol once remarked that two people kissing always look like fish. And if those two people are you and another Pisces, the kiss will give you a feeling of being mutually caught.
