CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Vanessa Hudgens, 34; Sophie Monk, 43; Beth Orton, 52; Dee Wallace, 74.

Happy Birthday: Ask questions and be honest with yourself and others regarding your feelings and intentions. Sticking to the truth and following a route that feels right will help you achieve your goal this year. Engage in activities that eliminate stress rather than escalate it. You will make better decisions if you choose to learn and keep up with whatever is trending or marketable. Your numbers are 5, 13, 20, 27, 32, 38, 43.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Take the high road if someone spews negativity in your direction. A kind word will make a difference and help change the atmosphere in the room. Put your energy into tidying up loose ends and preparing for the upcoming year. 3 stars

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): A little festive cheer with clients, colleagues or someone you love will get you in the festive spirit. Touch base with people you won’t see over the holidays or volunteer to help those in need. 5 stars

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Take a moment to recap what’s happening around you. Be safe instead of sorry when dealing with matters that have consequences. Question everyone and everything before you move into fast-forward and turn your intentions into a reality. 2 stars

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Stretch your mind, be innovative and update your skills to fit today’s trends. You have plenty to gain if you set a course that takes you from beginning to end. Completion is the goal, and discipline and drive will get you there. 4 stars

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Stick to your plan and carry on, regardless of what others do. By putting your heart and soul into things that matter to you, you’ll get results that make a difference. Don’t let someone’s uncertainty unnerve you or interfere with your progress. 3 stars

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Don’t disclose your feelings. An opinionated approach when dealing with others won’t help you get what you want. The way to bring about change is through positive action and being willing to do the work yourself. 3 stars

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Walk on eggshells. It will be easy to disrupt domestic situations if you don’t choose your words wisely. Focus on being helpful, positive and patient with those you spend a lot of time with, and you’ll dodge an emotional bullet. 4 stars

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Keep your life simple. Don’t change anything that’s not necessary. Clearing up time-sensitive business will help stabilize your life personally and professionally. Touch base with an older friend or relative, and you’ll gain an interesting point of view. 4 stars

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Leave nothing to chance. Have patience with others, but don’t take on responsibilities that belong to someone else. Take precautions when faced with controversy.
