Happy Birthday: Recognize what’s necessary and worthwhile to maintain your lifestyle, reputation, and position. Walk away from emotional turmoil, criticism, and pressure. Refuse to let what others do influence you. Consider what brings you happiness, safety, security, and ease, and ease your stress.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): It’s time to redefine your priorities and set a course that will help you get ahead.

Turn your thoughts into action. 3 stars

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Shake things up, but first, prepare for the fallout. Your best effort will come from personal growth, updating your image, or making lifestyle changes.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Choose peace, charm, and intelligence over discord, embellishment, and absurdity.
