Happy Birthday: You may feel the need to
travel, spend money and try new lifestyles but
make sure you can afford all these luxuries.
Change is in the picture and the outcome
will be entirely dependent on how you have
handled things in the past. It’s time to become
more industrious if you want to get ahead.
Your numbers are 3,11,17,25,33,44
• ARIES (March 21-April 19): Before
you jump to conclusions or say something
you may regret, rethink what the outcome
might be. You don't want to end the year on
a sour note. Problems while driving or with
communications can be expected, so take
things nice and slow today. 3 stars
• TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You
can complete things that have been hanging
over your head today. Someone will give
you good advice. Making a decision about
an educational pursuit or about picking up
a skill in the new year will put your mind at
6356 5 stars
• GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Don't let
anyone push responsibilities your way that
don't belong to you. Children or older relatives
may pose a problem for you. Try to relax and
you will find it much easier to get through a
hectic and disjointed day. 2 stars
• CANCER (June 21-July 22): If
something needs to be done just do it. The
more you give yourself time to think about
how much is expected of you, the harder it will
be for you to get things done. Someone from
your past is likely to surface. 4 stars
% LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Relax - give
yourself a break. Make plans to get together
with friends or network with colleagues and
you will leam valuable information. Don't
overindulge, however, or you may end up in a
bit of a scuffle. 3 stars
• VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You can
make a few moves that will ensure you close
out the year on a high note and start the new
year with a bang. Sudden changes regarding
a personal relationship will help put things in
perspective. 3 stars
• LIBRA (SepL 23-Oct. 22): Secret
dealings and talks will give you greater
maneuverability for the future. Authority
figures may pose a problem for you. Attend
an unusual event that will teach you about
other traditions or cultures. 3 stars
• SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): If you
test the waters, you will see very quickly who
is going to support you and who isn't. Last
minute changes to your day’s activities will
bring excellent results. A promise will be kept
or an old debt paid off. 4 stars
• SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21):
Your emotions may be difficult to control.
Don't let anyone cause you to make a quick
or erratic decision. Travel will lead to mishaps
with people who may not be totally honest
with you. 2 stars
• CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Gifts,
winnings and good fortune are heading your
way. A change in your current direction will
lead to good benefits. Don't let someone in a
position to influence take charge of a situation
you should control. 5 stars
• AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Don't
push your luck with acquaintances. Don't put
yourself in a potentially dangerous position.
Stick dose to home and spend a quiet day
with someone you trust and love. 3 stars
• PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You
may feel you are being pushed in too many
directions but you have to make up your mind
if you want to stop spinning your wheels and

course that you want to pursue and prepare
to do so. 3 stars
