CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Masaharu Fukuyama, 36, W. Axl Rose, 43, Natalie Cole, 55, Tom Brokaw, 65

Happy Birthday: This is the year to get your finances in order. You have to make whatever changes are necessary to put yourself in a position that will lead to a better income, lifestyle and future. You have what it takes to make those changes happen, but if you sit around procrastinating or underestimate your potential, you aren’t likely to get too far.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Don’t be fooled by what people tell you today. Someone will try to trick you into doing the wrong thing. Make your own decisions based on what you know is fact.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You will have a much better handle on what will work and what won’t today. Don’t be surprised if you are a little distracted by someone who has a personal interest in you.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You should take a look at an investment opportunity. Real estate deals will be profitable. Look for ways to better yourself. A new look will bring you plenty of compliments.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Your mind will be on personal issues today, but be careful how you handle the people in your life. Not everyone will agree with what you want to do. Your plans will have to be solid.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You may have to take on a little more responsibility than you had planned on. Don’t make a fuss – instead get the work done and move on to better things. Love is in a high cycle.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You have a lot going for you. It may not be a regular workday, but what you can get out of the way today will make your life easier later on. An event will lead to a chance meeting.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Don’t let an emotional issue stifle your plans or stop you from doing something that you really want to do. It’s up to you to speak up and let others know what you want. Be brave.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): What you see and what you get may not coincide. Check everything before you proceed. It’s better to be safe than sorry. Personal issues can be dealt with. Say what’s on your mind.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Rely on your friends for support and advice, and to have some fun with as well. Someone you are close to will introduce you to a new acquaintance or concept that will spark enthusiasm.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You may be out of sorts if you let personal matters escalate. Do something productive and you will eliminate many of the problems trying to manifest in your private life.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Keep your ideas and plans secret for the time being. Someone you think you can trust is likely to let you down. You will end up paying too much for something if you shop.
