For today’s birthday: You’re stoic and steady, but when you’re with friends or family, you tend to be a little more open and carefree. You have a knack for making others feel safe and secure. However, learning how to be vulnerable with other people can be helpful for you, too, so that you don’t have to carry so much weight on your shoulders alone. This year may put you in contact with new people, some of whom may become friends or helpers. It’s time to bring some more people into your world!

Aries: (March 21 to April 19) If you’re feeling stressed or bummed out, talking it out with a close friend or family member may help ease your troubles.

Taurus: (April 20 to May 20) Don’t talk yourself out of having a new experience or pursuing a potential opportunity. Be brave enough to try. Your courage will be rewarded.

Gemini: (May 21 to June 20) You might feel like you don’t really mesh with a particular crowd. Don’t worry, you’ll find where you belong.

Cancer: (June 21 to July 22) Take time out of your busy schedule to nourish yourself. Everyone else will just have to take care of themselves for a little while.

Leo: (July 23 to Aug. 22) Don’t lose hope. You can still make your dream a reality. Being in the company of supportive people can help you find more avenues to make it work.

Virgo: (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Open up your heart and your mind. Don’t close yourself off to people.

Libra: (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) If you need to smooth things over with someone, ask for a favor, or strike a deal, the best time to act will be later this evening. The lines of communication will be open.

Scorpio: (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) You need a break from your responsibilities to do something more fun and enjoyable. Set aside time for it today — and for romance, too!

Sagittarius: (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) You might not be feeling outgoing or sociable today. Don’t force it. The mood should eventually pass.

Capricorn: (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) There may be obligations you have to meet, but you can still be choosy about who gets your time and when. That being said, spend quality time with someone you love.

Aquarius: (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Your resourcefulness is the key to getting over any hurdles you encounter.

Pisces: (Feb. 19 to March 20) Don’t allow self-doubt to stop you from getting what you want. Go for the gold!
