CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Reese Witherspoon, 39; Elvis Stojko, 43; Bob Costas, 63; William Shatner, 84.

Happy Birthday: Stand up and be counted. Your presence will make a difference if you show determination and courage. It’s what you do personally that will bring the highest returns. Donations or going over budget will be your downfall and must be kept on target to avoid cutting into the gains you make if you are stringent, dedicated and persistent.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Sort out your priorities. Look at the pros and cons of your current work situation. Make a list of suggestions and goals, and prepare to make some changes that will help you improve your position. Don’t get angry, get moving.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Join forces with someone you feel can give you the edge you need to get things done. Experience will count for a lot when dealing with legal, financial or medical issues. An alliance you form will give you greater insight.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Be a participant, but don’t promise anything you cannot deliver. Discipline, hard work and sticking to what you do best will impress someone with clout. Entertain at home and it will have an impact on someone you want to impress.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Get down to business and make an effort to put some finesse and swagger back into your personality. It’s okay to be a little different, especially if you are trying to attract someone as creative as you. Love is highlighted.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Protect your health and important relationships. Problems will sprout if you let your emotions take over. You can initiate change, but make sure you have the approval required before you begin. A change of scenery will do you good.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Take time for pampering. Time spent updating your image or learning new skills will not be a waste. The improvements will make a difference to the way people treat you. Don’t give in to unrealistic demands.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Unexpected changes can occur when dealing with relationships. Keep an open mind, but don’t be too quick to give in to someone in order to keep the peace. Listen and respond with solutions that you feel comfortable with.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You’ll have to balance what you want to do with what you promised to do. If you begin early and are inventive in the way you go about your business, you will be able to satisfy everyone, including yourself.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Concentrate on home, family and making positive changes that will improve your lifestyle or ease your overhead. Financial deals look good, but do your research before you agree to a plan that probably has flaws or is being presented too optimistically.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Sit tight and watch what transpires around you. You don’t have to make promises or take on responsibilities in order to impress. You’ll do far better if you are the one who questions anything that may lead to loss or failure.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Express your desires and look for ways to turn something you want to do into a reality. A partnership looks promising, but putting the proper paperwork in place should be done before you proceed. Spell out responsibilities and expectations clearly.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Don’t believe everything you hear, and make sure you are precise when you discuss your plans. Solid preparation and presentation will make the difference between success and failure. Stay on track. Romance is highlighted.

Birthday Baby: You are fast-paced, curious and adventuresome. You are outgoing and generous.
