Happy birthday. You don’t have to have magical powers to spin straw into gold this year. Make the right deal, and do the work using the appropriate tools for the job. You may doubt yourself in March, but rush forward anyway and claim your riches. May and September will be the most romantic months.
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Your astral gift of the day is clear vision that helps you define your purpose so precisely that others can easily see it, understand it and know how they can help you with it.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20):You’ll stop working when the work is done and not a moment sooner or later than that. This is the secret to your success - an amazingly simple key, and yet few will do as you do.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21): The cleverest of people are usually not trying to be clever at all; rather, they are trying to solve a problem.Your problem today will have to do with lightening the mood.
CANCER (June 22-July 22): Because you feel positive, loving and kind, you’ll radiate good vibes that have people gravitating toward you.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Those who most need your leadership will resist it. How frustrating. You only have their best interests at heart. Alas, you’ll have to find ways to be more influential.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Take the time to figure out what you really want to do. Once you know this, you’ll feel better about everything else in your life. All will fall into place. Your conviction is something to admire.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): Hype and passion are not the same things, although they are often confused. Passion is about inner desire, not exterior motive. Hype tends to follow the money.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): People whose lives are stressful sometimes use up all of their self-control in keeping it together. That doesn’t make them bad people. Those who are not as loving and patient as you may have good reasons.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): When love is strong in you, as it is right now, you can forgive, and it’s not that big of a deal to do so, even if you have to forgive the same action over and over.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19):Your preferences are different from what some people seem to think you ought to prefer, and that’s how you know they are true. Your heart doesn’t take a vote and move on consensus.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): A Russian proverb says: “Don’t buy the house; buy the neighborhood.”You won’t be buying either today, and yet the saying applies to something you’ll buy that will align you with a particular group of people.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): People say that the best things require work and are not produced in haste. However, sometimes what’s fast and easy is the reward for the laborious failed efforts that came before.
