Happy birthday. What you used to think of as pressure you now consider to be a friendly force intent on making your dreams come true. Ask directly for what you want. Family will be involved in the delivery of your wishes in November. A March financial bonus will give your personal life new purpose.
ARIES (March 21-April 19): There are some things you've done that you wish you had experienced slightly less than once. As for today's interesting scenario, dive right in, if only so you can later tell the story.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): The person who is flaky with you is the same way with others, so there's no reason to take it personally. Also, there's no reason for you to take it at all. Set a boundary and stick to it.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21): You take your world citizenship seriously and refuse to sit idly by when there is so much strife in the world. You'll be thinking about the problems that face humanity and solving them in some small way in your own life.
CANCER (June 22-July 22): You will be packing a bag, studying for a forthcoming test or carefully getting ready in some other way to face the unknown. Where there is preparation there will be no regret.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): When you think about your favorite person it's hard to believe that there was a time when this person was unknown to you. Be friendly. Make the first move. A stranger could become someone very special to you.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You know the secret. It's not enough to soldier on; you must do so with joy in your heart, otherwise the opportunities in this day could go wasted. If you're not joyful, something is wrong.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): Expect that some mistakes will happen, so when they do it's nothing to get upset about. Stay calm and mindful. You can handle anything and everything that comes up.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Your inner drive to make people laugh is selfless. This isn't about your needing attention; it's about spreading joy. You quip because you care. Underneath your teasing is unabashed love.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): The project steps will be the same as always -- preparation, process and execution. The only difference is that you'll go through them faster. In fact, it could all be finished by tonight.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): The more formal your expression of thanks, the better you'll feel about what's being exchanged in your world. Notes could be in order. It's the classy way, but people forget it all the time. You're different. This will impress.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You've no shortage of reasons to feel good about yourself, and yet you may struggle with this. It's because feeling good doesn't necessarily come from a reasonable place. The love of a Leo or Pisces will help you love yourself.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Assume that your wishes will be granted, and move forward with great enthusiasm. Some flexibility will be required as to the time frame of this. Keep an open mind.
