CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Marie Serneholt, 26; Lil\’
Kim, 34; Lisa Rinna, 46; Suzanne Vega, 50.

Happy Birthday: You’ll have too many obstacles unless
you listen to reason and accept the alternatives being
offered. Don’t fear taking on responsibilities that allow
you to prove your worth and show your talents. This is not
the year to be shy when there is so much to do and so much
to lose.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): You may feel like skirting
issues that are demanding and necessary to your personal
life but, if you do, you will face the wrath of someone who
is counting on your support. Take care of pressing matters
before taking off.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Following through may not be
easy if you are enticed by someone who is making you
promises hard to resist. Don’t give in to hearsay or
innuendoes. Take care of personal matters that need
attention first.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You may find it difficult to
tell the truth if someone’s feelings are in jeopardy. Take
the time to do things properly and you will have fewer
regrets. You can avoid awkward situations if you give
everyone a chance to make a suggestion.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): It’s time to present what you
have accomplished and to take credit for your hard work. A
celebration is in order, so gather up the people you respect,
admire and care for and share your good fortune and success.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Don’t count on anything staying
the same and you won’t be disappointed. An offer or
suggestion will crystallize what someone else can give you
in return for your contributions. A partnership will provide
a wider range of options.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): An emotional encounter may
leave you in despair but, if you allow your discomfort to
show, you will give the bully the upper hand. Keep your
opinion a secret and you can come to grips with what you
must do in order to win.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Your spirit and charisma will
make someone you are close to jealous but you cannot stop
what you want to do or explore. It’s your turn to develop
and excel even if it means leaving someone on the sidelines
or behind.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You’ve let something go for
too long so play catch-up now or all will be lost. Don’t let
someone’s constant bickering cause you to fall short of your
goals. You must put your projects first before it’s too
late.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You may feel that you
are offering a lot but the recipient will not see things the
same way you do. Don’t let emotions escalate or you will
never come to a resolution. A change regarding your current
living arrangements is apparent.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You are heading into
prosperous times. A partnership or proposition will make you
rethink your strategy and your future. You have a difficult
decision to make. Don’t fear ridicule; do what’s best for
you.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You will be able to keep
everyone guessing with your cool and changing attitude.
Don’t give in to anyone trying to use force or coercive
tactics to get you to conform. Being adaptable will give you
an edge.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Take care of business early
so you don’t have anything hanging over your head later in
the day. A meeting with someone you would like to work with
or get to know better will lead to an opportunity for
monetary gain.

Birthday Baby: You are engaging and gravitate to the
unusual. You are studious and inquisitive, insightful and
thoughtful.
