CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Taye Diggs, 33, Christy Turlington, 36, Cuba Gooding Jr., 37, Alan Beckwith, 53

Happy Birthday: Everything will have two sides to it this year, and you will be caught in the middle. Your desire to do the right thing and your draw toward doing what’s exciting may present a dilemma for you. Balance will be the key.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): You have a day of reprieve to prepare for what can be the best year ever. First, realize that you are the one who has to create your own opportunities.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Spend time with the people or person you love the most. You have a bright future, so share your ideas with the ones who will be affected by your decisions.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You can hide out today, or you can face the music and clear the air. Be brave and to the point and get on with it.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Find out exactly what is required of you in order to follow your game plan for the upcoming year. The more you know, the further you’ll get.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Scrutinize your past failures. Once you realize where you went wrong, you will score big the next time around. Your mind should be on success.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Take a look at yourself and, if you don’t see what you want to see, figure out how to turn things around. This is a year of change, and the best place to start is with you.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Don’t hide things or brush them under the carpet. Get everything out in the open so you can begin anew. The worst-case scenario is carrying baggage with you.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Take the pressure off and consider how beneficial a partner may be. You don’t have to go it alone. You have lots to offer, so don’t sell yourself short.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Gauge yourself. If you try to do too much or promise too much, you will start the year off negatively. Give yourself a break.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Take the day to share with loved ones. Relax and enjoy all that you’ve worked so hard to acquire. Remember all work and no play is not good for your morale.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You should try to do something nice for someone who needs your help. An older relative may have something to share with you. Put time and effort into your home.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): If you love someone, let him or her know. The more you share, the better you will feel about yourself. Put your cards on the table.

Birthday Baby: You are worldly, a seeker of truth and knowledge, a helper and a Good Samaritan. You are in conflict with yourself over what you should do personally but always able to offer good advice to others.
