CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Scott Terra, 22; Phyllis George, 60; Jimmie Walker, 62; Carly Simon, 64.
Happy Birthday: You may want to take a risk or entertain the thought of trying something new but, before you do, secure what you already have. Be smart and refuse to be railroaded or misled. Be careful, frugal and set a budget that will enable you to feel less stress next year when you have far greater opportunities come your way.
ARIES (March 21-April 19): You need to spend more time developing a skill, hobby or talent. Doing things with children or friends will allow you to resolve some issues that have been bothering you for some time. Compassion and understanding will be required.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Don’t get involved in a fighting match. Being stubborn will not help matters. Find a way to compromise or you will ruin the upcoming weekend. Now is not the time to make assumptions. Get your facts straight.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You’ll be able to clear up any unfinished business if you put your heart into what you are doing. Conversations will help you clarify what needs to be done to make things better both at home and at work. Don’t let a private matter be used against you.
CANCER (June 21-July 22): Someone will put pressure on you to do things that you don’t want to do. It’s time to put yourself first. Domestic plans that will add comfort to your life should be your intent.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You’ll be emotionally torn by the events that take place if you haven’t cleared up misunderstandings that have plagued you. You must sort through these matters if you don’t want to suffer personal, emotional and financial loss.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Plan a getaway and you’ll be sure to have a good time and meet some interesting people. Don’t worry if you get a little tongue-tied – you are better at listening, observing and learning than you are taking the stage and teaching.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Take a position of leadership and you will successfully get the things you want done out of the way. This is your chance to show your talents. Fund raise, volunteer or just help others in whatever way possible, but don’t let someone you are fond of cost you.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You are likely to act on impulse if you don’t restrain yourself. Emotional matters will cause you to make irreversible mistakes. Put your efforts into a creative endeavor.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You’ll be torn between what you should do and what you want to do. If you work quickly you may be able to take care of both your responsibilities and your desires. An original approach will interest someone who will be willing to help you out.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): A love relationship will lead to an interesting twist of fate and will help you make a decision you’ve been toying with for some time. Serious action can be taken with confidence.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You’ll be drawn to someone you find interesting. Don’t be too quick to let your full intentions be known. Let your friendship grow. There is someone looking out for you. Trust this person’s judgment.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You may find it difficult to move forward with a work-related matter because you lack the information you need to complete what’s being asked of you. Don’t mix your personal and business life or you will have to explain some situations that might make you uncomfortable.
Birthday Baby: You have a way with words and are open and original. You are intent on learning. You are inventive but practical, forceful but compassionate.
