TODAY’S BIRTHDAY: Making plans and not following through will lead to emotional upset and unexpected changes in your personal life. This is a good year to take a look at who you are and consider what’s required to update your appeal. Now is not the time to back down when you have so much to gain.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): There may be a conflict between the changes you want to make at home and who else is willing to go along with your plans. Don’t back down but do compromise. A happy home life is well worth giving up a few minor things.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Take the time to listen to someone who interests you and you can form a coalition that will benefit you both. A change in plans will help you manipulate your professional situation. Your efforts can lead to a higher paying or more interesting position.
CANCER (June 21-July 22): You’ll get all worked up over nothing. Not everyone will agree with you, but does it really matter? Organization and good preparation will help you succeed and prove your point without rancor.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You can win at whatever you do if you go about it the right way. Concentrate on making everyone comfortable with your plans and you will get help, admiration and love from someone in your life who really matters to you.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Be careful with whom you share information. Someone may not be as honest or loyal as you hope. You can excel but only if you are willing to do the work yourself. Uncertainty will be your downfall. Proceed with confidence.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You can talk your way into any deal or activity or group that you wish to be a part of but, before you do, make sure that you really want to be involved. Chances are good that your motives may not be in the right place.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Don’t let anyone take advantage of your talents, your financial position or your ability to bring people together. Be sure that the people around you are sound and can offer what they say before you get involved.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Your playfulness will capture interest and get you involved in something perfect for you to pursue. An idea that can earn you extra cash will intrigue you but, before you get involved, make sure it doesn’t go against any rules.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Your inability to make up your mind will unnerve someone you are trying to befriend or get into a partnership with. Don’t get involved with someone personally if you have a business or work relationship with this person.
