This year, you will be

full of get-up-and-go.

You will need to have

a physical outlet to

clear away some of your high

energy. If single, you will meet

someone toward the end of

this birthday year. This person

will encourage you to stop

and get to know him or her

better. If attached, this coming

year will revolve around new

perspectives, traveling and

in-laws. You will become far

less judgmental as well. Aries

can match your energy any

day!

ARIES

(MARCH 21-APRIL 19).

You will hear a lot of news,

with perhaps some gossip

sprinkled in. An authority

figure seems cool and austere.

This person’s expectations

might not be the same as

yours.

TAURUS

(APRIL 20-MAY 20).

Pull back and listen. You could

feel unusually pressured and

might not want to participate

in a discussion. You might

be unusually serious.

Your perspective could be

enhanced by staying mum.

GEMINI

(MAY 21-JUNE 20).

You could find an argument

powerful, but it is not one you

can support. In fact, rather

than discuss the issue, the

other party closes down. You

could feel frustrated. Still,

information comes up.

CANCER

(JUNE 21-JULY 22).

You decide you will call

the shots today. Do not be

surprised if a close associate

develops an attitude. Let it

happen, but make sure you

really want the lead. Make an

important call.

LEO

(JULY 23-AUG. 22).

You cannot seem to go along

with the status quo. You know

a lot, but decide to question

a decision or an important

change of direction. You will

seek out expert advice. You

will also try to place yourself in

another’s shoes.

VIRGO

(AUG. 23-SEPT. 22).

You might want to draw a

partner or associate into

what you deem a major

conversation. You can see all

sorts of positive outcomes.

The other party might not

agree and might want to

postpone this chat. Give this

person space.

LIBRA

(SEPT. 23-OCT. 22).

Your inclination to let others

handle problems might

be convenient for you and

flattering for others. You could

want to respond to a friend’s

or loved one’s overtures. This

person is frequently lucky for

you.

SCORPIO

(OCT. 23-NOV. 21).

You could feel a bit out of

sorts, possibly because of a

financial gamble. You also

might sense an undercurrent

around you. A lot might be

going on that others are

choosing not to discuss with

you. Do not push, just listen.

SAGITTARIUS

(NOV. 22-DEC. 21).

You have more than your share

of energy, which is visible to

anyone looking at you. What

could be a problem is that you

are far more prone to taking

risks when you feel like this.

Choose your risks with care.

CAPRICORN

(DEC. 22-JAN. 19).

You find that others could

be unusually playful and

fun-loving. Loosen up if you

can, but do not act negatively

toward those who are not as

reactive and work-oriented as

you. Good news heads your

way after a discussion.

AQUARIUS

(JAN. 20-FEB. 18).

Return calls quickly. You might

need to revamp your schedule

because of what you hear. An

opportunity that heads your

way needs to be explored,

especially if a friend is invited.

PISCES

(FEB. 19-MARCH 20).

Deal with financial matters

early, before too much

happens and you do not

have time. People seek you

out left and right. Remain as

responsive as possible. You

take charge of a project.
