CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Khleo Thomas, 16, Christian Bale, 31, Brett Butler, 47, Phil Collins, 54

Happy Birthday: A little ingenuity mixed with hard work is what’s required this year. You will be tempted to take on too much, pay too much and in general overextend yourself on all counts if you aren’t careful. Make a deal with yourself that this year everything must be understated. If you can stick to basics and not get off track, victory can be yours. It’s better to receive a little success than none at all.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Take the plunge. Things are opening up for you, and much can be achieved. Resurrect your ideas, only this time do it yourself instead of letting others get involved and take over.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You should get your papers in order and prepare to counteract anyone who is trying to push you in the wrong direction. You can’t let criticism and comments made bother you.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You are on a roll, and nothing is likely to stop you today. Get down to business and see how much you can accomplish. Everyone will want to help and spend time with you.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): You may want to be a little reluctant to let anyone coerce you into spending or doing something you know you shouldn’t be doing. Take a stand and prepare to say no if you must.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You’ve got plenty going on. Get involved in events or activities that will bring you closer to individuals who interest you. Love and romance are in a high cycle. Stay active.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Your mind may be on money, but you should be concerned about your health and your future. Reconsider where you are headed and what direction you feel you should be going.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You’ve got more options than you think. List all the possibilities and make plans to follow through with something that really interests you. A social gathering will enhance romance.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Don’t be too quick to offer your services. You may be taken advantage of if you aren’t persistent about what you want or what you do. Don’t sell yourself short; you’re worth more.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Something worthwhile will unfold if you present your idea or plan. Communication will lead to some interesting suggestions and possibly a partnership with someone influential.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You may have to keep a lid on what you are up to. Taking on too much or allowing someone to lean on you too much will set you back. Consider your options when it comes to making money.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): It’s your turn to expand your ideas and to voice your opinions. The more you do for yourself and others, the more confidence you will have to follow through and do your own thing.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Money matters must be taken care of. Make some changes at home that will make your place more comfortable. Luck is with you, and money or gifts will come your way. Change will be good.
