IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY: This year you open up to many different possibilities. The unexpected occurs and forces you to deal with new situations and different types of answers. As a result, you will grow and understand your priorities better. If you are single, it might be difficult to build a long-term relationship, as so much is going on in your life. Toward your next birthday, you could be more successful with meeting Mr. or Ms. Right.

If you are attached, the two of you share the ups and downs together. You will learn more and more about the art of communication. GEMINI has the gift of gab.

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

You will want to steer clear of uproar, especially when it involves your finances. Your witty personality emerges when discussing a problem. Know that you are capable of communicating your bottom line. Tonight: Be responsive when dealing with loved ones.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

You might be handling a personal problem well, but you also must deal with a money issue. Your hands are full, but you will step up to the plate. Others will get your message, though you probably will need to try a few different approaches. Tonight: Do some spring shopping.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
