Happy birthday. Your openhearted ways leave you vulnerable, and yet this year you are blessed with mutual attractions and reciprocal intentions.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Regardless of whether things are going well for you, you generally enjoy life. That’s why people gravitate to you now.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20):You’ll see your domestic environment differently, and this will lead you to improve the way items are placed in your home, including the pictures on your walls.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21): You’ve dealt with crisis and calamity before, and that’s precisely why you recognize today’s blip for the minor problem it is - if it can even be classified as a “problem.” CANCER (June 22-July 22): You have a burning question or two. The best way to get answers is not to ask outright, but to quietly observe.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22):You’ll compare and contrast your belief system with that of others and realize that yours is no better or worse.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Mended hearts are stronger and love more wholly than hearts that have never been broken. You’ll provide the proof of this for someone today.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): To pull off your plan, you will have to acquire more tools and skills.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): You are in the “getting to know you” phase of a relationship and should try to make this phase last as long as possible.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Unseen forces are matching you with people who will enrich your personal life, although you may not be able to discern how right away.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Avoid trying to convince anyone that you are right, as this will only waste your time.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): There’s more to life than the mind can grasp. Physical exercise will raise your energy in multiple dimensions.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Once you realize that something no longer works for you, it’s easy to get rid of it.
