birthday horoscope roundup

It's the one day of the year that I actually check my horoscope. Here's what this year has in store.

Horoscope.com says:
Expand your horizons on your birthday by doing something different and exciting. When you make this leap of faith on your birthday, another path will open up to you and lead you toward the new direction you have been looking for. Your old pattern has gotten boring and you weren't sure how to change it, but your birthday can bring that opportunity. By breaking your established pattern on this special day, you open the door to a mountain of possibility. Take advantage of this moment and be daring in both business and pleasure. The reaction you will receive should be instantaneous, and it will cause a chain of events that will change your life. When March arrives, you should have transformed from a lamb to a lion.


Astrology.com weighs in:
Happy birthday! In the next year, strange and unusual circumstances will lead first to a little confusion, and then once you learn how to surf those waves, to pure delight! The first half of 2010 will bring renewed energy with your social contacts, and will see new life flow into your love life -- old relationships will be invigorated, and new opportunities will arise with little or no effort on your part. The real drama, though, is going to be in your career and financial life. January through March will bring changes to your work routine and workload. At first this may not seem like much of a blessing, but it can be leveraged into better circumstances, via either a raise or a promotion. Next November and December will actually see an increase in your money supply (strange during the holidays!), with a possible new and improved job -- if you're keeping your eyes open for it!

I can already tell you that msnbc.com's prediction is unlikely to come true:
Other people are sure to be envious of your superior public speaking talents, so enjoy the attention while you have it. Saying exactly what you mean diplomatically comes quite naturally to you, which means you should be able to keep the number of misunderstandings around you to a minimum. This is the perfect time to give a speech to a packed auditorium, recite a poem at a coffee shop or sing a spontaneous song to the love of your life in the middle of a crowded park.

Finally, tarot.com:
You make it clear to everybody that you care about them. Although you can't be at their sides all the time, you carry your friendships with you in spirit, everywhere and always.
Although your big plans could run into a wall now, with intention and focus, you can turn an annoying setback into real progress. You would be wise to pay attention to all the current possibilities instead of imagining what might go wrong. Then, when it comes time to make your decision, at least you'll have a whole spectrum of choices from which to pick your new direction.
