CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Justin Jeffre, 32; Sean Astin, 34; Tom Courtenay, 68; Sally Jessy Raphael, 70

Happy Birthday: The inevitable and the unexpected are both looking you in the face this year, so prepare yourself to deal with both. Your ability to change midstream and to pick up one thing when another is taken away will be the true test of what you are made of. Once you master the art of being totally flexible, everything will fall into place. Your numbers are 3, 5, 15, 27, 36, 41

ARIES (March 21-April 19): You may be confused about a job you must complete. Someone is likely to forget to give you some vital information you require. Question everything and everyone. Someone you least expect will help you out.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Don’t sit around doing nothing today. You should go shopping, make personal changes, have some fun with friends or your lover – generally put yourself first for a change. A sudden turn of events will lead you in the right direction.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Do what you can but don’t expect anyone to help out. You will be on your own today, so make the best of it. The less interference you have, the better it will be.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Get down to business and you will draw attention as well as help from onlookers. Take an unusual approach to whatever you do. A good friend will offer you sound advice and lead you to personal changes.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Don’t be too quick to leave things unfinished today. Hard work and dedication will bring you benefits in the future that you won’t want to miss. Put in extra hours and complete whatever you start before you decide to party.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You have a greater handle on the situation you face than you realize. Let others do as they please, then use their choices to determine whether you will continue to do things with or without them.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): The answer to your question is hidden, and you must look deep within if you want to do what’s right. This is not about you alone, so be sure to do what’s best for everyone involved. Success will follow.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Enjoying what life has to offer will get you out of the solemn mood you’ve been in. Look at change as an adventure and release what isn’t working for you anymore. Once you’ve taken the first step in a new direction, everything will fall into place.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): A critical attitude will backfire today. You will get more than you bargained for if you discuss situations where you want to make changes. Be careful not to offend someone you care about.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Dig in your heels, roll up your shirt sleeves and show everyone what you’ve got. You can turn an idea into something great by letting others know your plans. It won’t be long before someone wants to join you.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You may have legal issues to deal with today. Don’t put them off; it’s better to deal with these matters head on. Once they’re behind you, you will be able to move forward with someone who has caught your attention.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Everything may appear to be up in the air, but you have more control over your situation than you realize. Let go of something in order to start something new. Don’t hold on to what’s not rightfully yours.

Birthday Baby: You are mysterious – giving on one hand and very strict and critical on the other. You know what you want and like, and you will settle for nothing less. You change your position to suit your needs.
