THE LAST WORD IN ASTROLOGY BY EUGENIA LAST

Happy Birthday: If you lose sight of what it is you want to accomplish this year, you will be angry and will likely make mistakes. Instead, use your energy to focus on getting where you want to go. It's your strategy that will count and, if you deviate from what works for you, loss can be expected. Stand tall, be strong and learn how to say no. Your numbers are 2, 14, 20, 32, 39, 46

ARIES (March 21-April 19): You can come up with a great idea that will shape your future. If there are situations and people in your life causing you grief, don't make rash moves. Instead, distance yourself and make necessary changes. 3 stars

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You've got what's required to follow your dreams, so don't make excuses. Love is enhanced so allow time for friends or your lover. Be honest about your feelings; speaking from the heart will fix any misgivings. 3 stars

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Secrets are best kept that way. Love is in your chart but be careful not to infringe on someone else's territory. Leave well enough alone if the coast isn't clear. Don't get trapped by your emotions. 3 stars

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Be a friend, a helper, a hands-on individual and you will be in a favorable position when you need assistance in the future. It's the friendships you build now that will bring you opportunities later on. Money is in the picture. 4 stars

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You can't win if you won't listen. Take yourself out of any situation that appears to be one-sided. A change will be required geographically, vocationally or spiritually in order for you to start anew. 2 stars

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Travel plans should be in play. A day trip or family outing will bring you closer together. Love is on the rise. A proposal or idea you have will develop into something big if you follow through and do some research. 5 stars

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You may want to make changes but don't go overboard. Things will cost more than you realize, so do the math before you sign on the dotted line or hire a contractor. If something needs to be done, do the work yourself, if possible. 4 stars

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): The more time spent entertaining or planning an eventful day, the more you will get back in love and loyalty. A partnership can be taken to the next level, putting you in a much more powerful position in the future. 3 stars

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Set a budget that you can live with so you don't fall short of your goals. A change in lifestyle may not be what you want but it may be required. Run your ideas by someone who is financially and economically savvy. 3 stars

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You can make changes that will benefit you and your family. A serious decision can be made regarding your future, professionally, geographically and financially. Set a standard and stick to it. 5 stars

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Talk matters through but don't take anything or anyone too seriously if he or she wants too much. Listen but don't cave in. Offer what you can and, if that's not enough, reconsider the relationship. 4 stars

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Reevaluate what you have lost or passed up due to stubbornness. If you miss a relationship you let go of because you weren't willing to compromise, you may want to make amends and try to reestablish a connection. 3 stars

Birthday Baby: You are a charmer and a leader. You like to be in control, do things in a big way and act fast. You are not easily swayed.
