CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Shane Lyons, 17; Molly Ringwald, 37; Matt Dillon, 41; John Travolta, 51

Happy Birthday: You are on the right track, so don’t back down, give up or become too lazy to achieve what you set out to do. You can make financial gains by wheeling and dealing the first three quarters of the year. Don’t waste time or hesitate – before you know it, you will be out of time. Focus, don’t skip a beat and stay in control. Your numbers are 14, 16, 19, 28, 34, 49

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Your desire to be and do everything for everyone will be taken advantage of. Back off and do what’s best for you. It wouldn’t hurt to ask for a little help this time around, especially if you have taken on too much.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): How you make your living may be affected today. Stay on top of what needs to be done in order to protect your position. Not everyone will be on your side. Stability and reliability will be what keeps you ahead of the competition, so don’t waffle now.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Make your point by taking action. Words alone will not help you if you aren’t prepared to follow through. The opportunity to do something really good for someone else will result in a change that will bring about a better future. Follow your feelings.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Your emotions are close to the surface. You may not like change, but it will be necessary in order to get back on track or get ahead at this point. With a little extra effort you should be able to make things happen that will ensure positive results.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Forming a partnership isn’t such a bad idea. An opportunity to make money by investing in property or an idea will keep you on your toes but should also help to stimulate your financial position. Do your homework and don’t leave room for error.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You may want to question your motives. If you aren’t doing what you really want to do, or if you are involved in something that is holding you back or causing you grief, it’s time to make changes that will better suit your needs.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): It’s not too late to change your direction or expand on an idea that could bring about some interesting options. The busier you are, the better. This is not the time to let your lazy side take over. You’ll upset the people around you if you don’t pull your weight.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You are so close and yet so far. The more you push, the harder it is to get ahead. Take a moment, rethink your course and consider the adjustments that need to be made. Success is waiting for you, but you have to find the right passageway.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Look to your right and look to your left. Don’t make your move until the coast is clear. Don’t allow anyone to force change on you until you are ready to handle the outcome. It’s not about what everyone else needs, but rather what you need.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Don’t get angry, get moving. You can make headway if you are smart about the way you conduct business. Formulate what you want and go after it. Not everyone will agree, but unless a better solution is found, you should be able to get your own way.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You are on the verge of making a comeback. You have unique ideas, and someone is willing to give you a chance. Love and romance are apparent, so put some time aside to get together with someone you care about. The action will be wherever you are.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You may be uncertain about your feelings and what you should be doing with your life. Don’t make a decision, but instead observe what everyone else is doing. Once you can determine what will work best, you can make your move.

Birthday Baby: You are a truth-seeker. You have a vivid imagination and a very inventive mind. You are out to break new ground and to help wherever you can. You are a giver and a taker, but always fair.
