Happy birthday for Monday, April 17, 2006:

You have a way of getting the facts and the complete story this year. You work through detachment and understanding. You might want to rethink your decisions more carefully than in the past, as sometimes the results, especially financially, could be stunning. You need to understand what is going on behind the scenes and with others. Buff up that ability and you will be unusually successful this year. If single, you add magic to nearly any bond. Someone quite different could enter your life. If attached, you will grow in a new direction as a couple. Be willing to blaze a new trail, emotionally or in your lifestyle. Sagittarius almost always presents alternatives.

Aries (March 21-April 19) •••• Your mind might have difficulty accepting the status quo. Though others might find your progressive thinking a bit hard, you also bring to the table a gift of looking at life through new eyes.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) •••• Working with one other person could draw difficult situations and ones that need to be rethought. Someone’s instinctive reaction could surprise you, but at the same time it might just work. Try better listening.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) ••••• Others say yes, and you see life in a far more positive light. If you want to rethink a situation, do just that. You have a different perspective or way of thinking because of someone’s strong point of view.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) ••• Pace yourself and get on top of what could be a challenging situation. You might not understand what others want or need, but you have a strong sense of what makes a partner flourish. Do not second-guess this person.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) ••••• Your creative streak emerges and might cause a dramatic change within a partnership or personal situation. Do know how to lighten up and make the most of an personal situation. A new flirtation could make you smile.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) ••• If you see something or someone in a different light, you could be surprised by what happens and where you might find yourself. Investigate new ideas. Allow yourself to enter a new spot or do something different.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) ••••• Listen well to news that heads your way. If you work with another point of view, you could be a bit stunned by what goes down. Listen to yourself. Express your views. Open up to new styles or a different approach.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) ••• Deal with others more directly and in a more cheerful manner. You might not realize the impact of your strong, independent personality. Consider carefully rethinking a decision that revolves around you.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) •••• You might be taken aback by what happens within your immediate surroundings. Others seem to be in the mood to create havoc, or havoc goes with them. Maintain your sense of humor.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) •• Your instincts rule you for the next few days. How you handle the pressure could change substantially if you adjust. Go with the flow, understanding your limitations. Listen to what seems to be an eruptive statement or opinion.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) •••• Friends have expectations, but how you deal with them could change remarkably. Your finances could swing dramatically. You have a good time wherever you are.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) •••• Take a stand and be less uptight about what you need to do in order to get the response you desire. Sometimes you could be overworked and tired by the burdens you carry. Be honest with yourself.
