CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Derek Jeter, 35; Chris O’Donnell, 39; Harriet Wheeler, 46; Chris Isaak, 53.
Happy Birthday: You have to be on your toes and ready to take a pass if temptation is hovering. Now is not the time to expand but rather to buckle down and secure your position personally, professionally and financially. Watch for better opportunities. You will impress others with your ability to size up a situation accurately.
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Do things that make you feel good about yourself. You need to enjoy the company of people who can offer you inspiration and motivation in order to continue in a direction that excites you.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You’ll be tempted to spend on things you don’t need. Emotional matters will grow if you don’t put an end to the things you don’t agree with. If you don’t stand up for what you want, no one else will.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Simple acts will deserve praise but anyone trying to take advantage of you must be put in his or her place. Play on the emotions of those who can help you sort through whatever dilemma you face and it will be difficult for anyone giving you a hard time to win.
CANCER (June 21-July 22): Keep an open mind and a clear sense of what’s true and what’s fabricated. Hold on to your thoughts until everyone else has revealed their position. Don’t be afraid to suggest a major change if that is what’s required.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You may want to slow down if you are involved in a financial transaction. There is something unusual that must be uncovered before you take a risk. Creative thinking and fast maneuvers will be required to move forward.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Stay on top of what’s being said and done by others and you will not lose control of a situation that needs your undivided attention. Ask questions and avoid an unpleasant surprise. Put some time aside for a little adventure and personal gratification.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Attend events, activities or social functions that are conducive to meeting creative people. An unusual chance to hook up with someone from your past or a partner who has something to offer is apparent. The interest is not romantic.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Money is heading your way through a partnership, investment or hard work finally paying off. Someone you love may sidetrack you. Don’t give in until you have finished what needs to be done.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Expect to pay for past mistakes. You can resolve old debts and issues before you start something new. Moving forward with baggage will stifle your plans. Changing your mind will work against you.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): The alterations you make to some of your personal papers will save you a bundle at a future date. Taking care of domestic matters will pay off. You can add to your property or make a move that will allow greater versatility.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Don’t take what you hear as gospel. Someone you respect may let you down or give you false information unintentionally. Mean what you say and say what you mean or limitations will result when you least expect. A serious approach will be respected.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): A secret will come back to haunt you if you don’t clear the air. A valued friend will object to something you did in the past that altered both of your futures. It’s never too late to reverse a mistake you made.
Birthday Baby: You are a great communicator and storyteller. You are curious about life and are a philosopher, a student and a teacher.
