Those with birthdays today: You might find it difficult to grasp how changeable people are this year. As a result, you might revamp your plans and ideas. Though this could be stressful, ultimately you need to handle life with less rigidity and more lightness. Count on yourself, not others. You won't be as disappointed. You gain professionally because of your willingness to put in hard hours and your ability to adapt. From fall 2005 on, others start acknowledging you for a job well done. If you are single, don't decide that this relationship is it. Time is your ally. If you are attached, frequently take timeouts together. Learn that both of you can be right. ARIES always stimulates conversation.
