CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Jennifer Lawrence, 33; Joe Jonas, 34; Anthony Anderson, 53; Debra Messing, 55.

Happy Birthday: Keep your thoughts and plans to yourself until you have tested and refined what you have to offer. Preparation will make the difference this year, and a pristine presentation will get you where you want to go. Pay attention to detail, and you’ll surpass your expectations. A vivid imagination and educated approach to life will fuel your inspiration and separate you from the competition. Your numbers are 4, 17, 22, 27, 34, 43, 49.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Show everyone what you have to offer. Mix business with pleasure, and follow through with your promises. Consistency and delivering on your promises will enrich your chance to advance. A little pampering will give you the pick-me-up you need to forge ahead. 5 stars

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Think before you act. The temptation to give away too much information will make you vulnerable. Be a good listener and pay attention to detail, and you’ll figure out the best way to get what you want. Leave nothing to chance. 2 stars

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Stick to the truth and offer a play-by-play version. Keep your feelings to yourself and control your emotions. Don’t expect help, and avoid disappointment. Alter what isn’t working for you and head in a direction that accommodates your plans. Self-improvement is favored. 4 stars

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Keep your emotions in check. Refuse to let the little things get to you. Focus on being creative and initiating what you want instead of letting what others do disrupt your plans. Follow your heart, pay attention to detail and make things happen. 3 stars

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Keep things moving forward instead of flipping back and forth between making headway and standing still. Have confidence in yourself and act accordingly. If you give in to what others do or say, you’ll lose sight of what you want to accomplish. 3 stars

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Say what’s on your mind and be the one to make a difference. Now is not the time to follow the crowd. Have a plan ready and be open-minded enough to adjust to suggestions from others. Do what’s right and best for everyone. 3 stars

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Your attraction to the in-crowd can devastate your emotional, physical and financial well-being. Think a scenario through before you participate in something that borders on misrepresentation. Walking a fine line can result in falling off the fence. Do what’s right. 4 stars

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Temptation is the enemy, and truth matters. Look around you and align yourself with someone who possesses common sense, integrity and positivity. Choose to make good choices and help others do the same. Set a worthwhile example and you’ll have no regrets. 2 stars

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Let your actions speak for you. What you say or promise will be misconstrued, causing confusion and an outcome that can cost you. Deliver promises and go above and beyond the call of duty, and rewards will follow. Make peace and love your priorities. 5 stars

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Take a stance, offer alternatives and participate in conversations that provide positive results. Make contributions at home and to foundations that support your beliefs, and be a part of the movement to make your house and community a better place. Make stability a priority. 3 stars

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Understanding your circumstances is half the battle. Dig deep and ask questions, and you’ll get a fair assessment. Making the right decision will be difficult but necessary to maintain your integrity. Self-improvement will contribute to your visibility and success. 3 stars

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Don’t limit what you can do. Discipline, using your resources and sharing your vision will help you build a strong front for what you propose. Don’t hold back or let close-mindedness come between you and the possibilities you can turn into a reality. 3 stars

Birthday Baby: You are passionate, possessive and articulate. You are imaginative and unique.

1 star: Avoid conflicts; work behind the scenes. 2 stars: You can accomplish, but don’t rely on others. 3 stars: Focus and you’ll reach your goals. 4 stars: Aim high; start new projects. 5 stars: Nothing can stop you; go for gold.
