CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Snoop Dogg, Tom Petty, Mickey Mantle, Natalie Gregory.

Happy Birthday: This is the perfect year to take all your past experience and expertise and put it into play. Risk won’t be necessary, because you’ve built a strong and solid base. That and hard work will lead to the success you’ve dreamed about.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Follow your own path today. Share your ideas with like-minded people. Financial gains can be made; be smart with the money you receive.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Do not raise personal issues with loved ones today. You may have to make a decision that will be difficult, but necessary. Satisfy your own needs or you will not find long-term happiness.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Your ability to find solutions for others will be right on target, but leave your own situation alone today. Something important should come in the mail.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Don’t let depression lead to spending. Look at the possibility of changing your position. Once you make your move you will be glad you did.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Be sensitive to the needs of those you love and you can avoid upset, anger and even an unnecessary argument. If you force others to do things your way, you’ll be blamed later on.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Keep your mind on what’s important and don’t get involved in what others are doing. Keep your thoughts to yourself and avoid making waves with authority figures.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): New friends and connections can be made and should lead to an interesting turn of events. Volunteer your services. This is not the time to spend money, but offering your time will make a difference.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Don’t let the green-eyed monster rear its ugly head. If things aren’t going according to plan or you feel someone is paying too much attention to another, be patient. Remember: Your own success is the best revenge.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Make arrangements to get out of the house and keep busy. Take part in a community event, but let any personal matters rest. Emotional issues will have a way of sorting themselves out.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): The less you do to help others with money matters, the better. Focus on your own portfolio or bank balance for now. Be creative and network with people who can help.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You may have to deal with a partnership that hasn’t been running too smoothly. If there has been reason to distrust your partner or you have not been loyal yourself, you may want to dissolve.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You will have an opportunity to make career moves. A partnership may be inviting, but be sure that you see eye-to-eye about important matters before you get involved.

Birthday Baby: You are very steadfast in your ways, but also very playful and entertaining. Your strength will enable you to withstand whatever is necessary in order to reach your life goals.
