Happy Birthday: Plan to have fun, but don’t neglect your reputation or responsibilities. You’ll face uncertainty if you are too frivolous or make an impulsive change without proper research. Time spent fact-finding and opting for change that will increase your chance of success, along with doing your best to protect your physical and emotional well being, should be your goal. Your numbers are 6, 15, 26, 28, 31, 43, 47. ARIES (March 21-April 19): Get involved in a cause or sign up for a fundraiser that requires your physical, mental or financial assistance.

Don’t let legal, financial or medical issues stress you out. Focus on what you need to do in order to take care of your personal business.
