Happy Birthday: Pace yourself this year. Pay attention to detail, plan your actions, and weigh the pros and cons before you initiate change. Tidy up loose ends instead of starting something new.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Don’t pressure others to follow you. Set an example by doing for yourself, and self-advertising will prompt the following.
