If today is your birthday: There are strong indications that you are likely to be invited to participate in a venture that will be initiated by another during coming months. If it is successful, and there's a good chance that it will be, you will share in all the fruits.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- The cycle you're presently in could cause you to become a trifle too indifferent about your duties, responsibilities or promises. If this happens, you'll find yourself ashamed and embarrassed.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You'll need to be extremely careful not to play favorites and to treat all your friends equally. If you don't, you may lose the friendship of a valued person.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- If you're not careful, you are likely to make some unnecessary changes that would sour something good you had going, or bring a person in who would do so.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Don't fear to question something you're uneasy about, even if it involves the character of another. Get all the facts, and trust your basic instincts.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- If there are any uncertainties in your business transactions, take measures to protect yourself. To be on the safe side, make sure all promises made to you are put in writing and signed.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Should it fall to you to make the social arrangements for your group, take care not to invite a couple of friends who aren't compatible with one another. Pick one or the other, or leave both out.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Complications are likely to arise when you either look to others to perform your assignments or leave things to the last minute. In either case, you could create all kinds of fresh problems for yourself.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Don't attempt to impose yourself on a group or clique in which you know you won't be warmly welcomed, because you'll only be miserable. Associate with pals who love you for who you are.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Although your ambitious objectives are likely to be gratified, you must take care about how you achieve them. If your tactics are harsh or pushy, it will be a hollow victory.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Being too sensitive or defensive about your ideas or thinking could cause you to act in an unbecoming manner when challenged. Be extremely careful how you handle yourself.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- There is nothing bad about teaming up with someone, as long as you both share all the risks and expenses equally. Make sure neither one of you ends up with an empty wallet.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Avoid linking up with someone who usually fails to appreciate the merits of team effort, if you want to avoid a frustrating time. Go it alone if necessary.
