YOUR DAY
Emotional feedback may be more important than material reward for effort. Confidence levels could be down and a desire for approval, acceptance or reaction will be the driving force behind many of today's actions. Try to avoid being too precious about issues that are trivial in the great scheme of things.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
You may seek comfort in all the wrong places and should examine the reasons behind your need for reassurance. With intuition particularly powerful this year, you should probably look inwardly for solutions rather than relying on outside sources. This is a good time to study and reflect.
