Happy birthday. Many things become clear as you get to know yourself better. What you used to consider an expense is really a worthy investment in who you are. Act on the lightning-bolt moments in May. New financial partners come along in June and October. You'll be put through a test in September.
ARIES (March 21-April 19): You're still learning. Try not to get disheartened when the day's events prove that you still have a long way to go. Trust that you'll execute whatever behaviors are necessary to get there.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Being susceptible to the spark of attraction doesn't make you a flirt, it makes you human. There are certain people who just make you feel more alive, and they'll be near you, or near in spirit, today.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21): At the center of your day lies a dynamic contemplation. What you're thinking about will change the order in which you do things. It will change your conversations and your environment.
CANCER (June 22-July 22): You're very observant today, but you probably won't have much to say about what you witness. Your attention is a form of praise even when you can't quite find the words to articulate it.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You're reaching one peak now, and you already see that there's another hill to climb. There goes your plan for a never-ending party at the top. Why not make a never-ending party that's themed "climbing" and enjoy it now?
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): People often like those whom they have hurt. That's why it's better, when you suspect or know that someone you actually like has hurt you, to let them off the hook graciously.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): Go ahead and argue with your critics, as imaginary as they may be. The argument will make your work better. The trick is to set a time limit to these exchanges, and then send the critic away so you can resume working.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): There is much to tempt you away from what needs to be done, and a hypnotizing fellow fire sign may be to blame. However tedious the necessary work is, once you commit yourself, it won't be so bad.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Even though there will be minor strife today, all in all, you like yourself and the things that come from the way you "do you." Therefore, you're successful. End of story.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Half of getting along is understanding. The only way to understand is to inquire in a way that makes people feel compelled to answer you truthfully. Your gentle way will pay off.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Even though you think some of the rules that are guiding your group are arbitrary and unfair, today you will be careful not to break them. (You're right about the proverbial policeman around the corner.)
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You'll be involved in sorting out the actions of children and people who act like them. If they didn't follow reason into a situation, they probably won't follow reason out of it.
