CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Ricardo Montalban, 85; Amy Grant, 45; Christina Applegate, 34; Donovan McNabb, 29.

Happy Birthday: This is a year of discovery for you – what you thought you knew and believed in may not be the case. Open up to new ideas and ways of doing things. The more adaptable you are, the further you will go. Remaining calm and being practical will bring the most in return.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Do the work yourself if you want things to get done. You will have a hard time appeasing friends and family. You can get ahead if you push hard. Career changes look promising.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Love and romance are in a high cycle today, so don’t hold back. Travel or get together with people you find interesting. Overindulging should be avoided, and so should overindulgent people.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Your focus should be on home, family and making improvements. An older relative will have some very good suggestions. Money or a gift appears to be coming your way.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): You will be drawn toward people who are a little bit different or who live an unusual lifestyle. Travel back to some of the places you remember fondly, and look up some of the people you would like to hook up with again.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Don’t take drastic measures if you want to be successful. Have a strategic plan in place if you want to outsmart everyone around you. Make sure you have secured the support you need to follow through with your plans.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Don’t stick around where emotional turmoil is likely to break out. Trouble at home or with a family member is apparent. Do something that appeals to you or that will enhance the way you look.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Reflect on what has taken place and make a decision based on what you’ve learned. You have to re-evaluate your motives and refuse to carry on a charade to spare someone’s feelings.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): It’s time to make a financial or professional move. Someone you care about may be confused and need to talk. The conversation may be to benefit him or her, but in the end, you will learn something very valuable.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You will have many things going for you, but if you let your personal life or emotions stand in your way, all will be lost today. Don’t let anyone get away with bullying you into not doing something you really want to do.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You can’t be too soft or let people get away with doing less when you deserve more. Ask if you want something, and refuse to make settlements that don’t cover what you’ve been through. Love is in a high cycle.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You will have enough to contend with today without adding more to the equation. Troubleshooting will be your middle name, but once you have done what you must, you will feel relieved. Change is sometimes necessary.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You will be up and down emotionally, but that doesn’t necessarily mean things will be bad. Love is apparent, and if you put your time and effort into a personal relationship, you will be able to establish where you stand and what you have to look forward to.

Birthday Baby: You are aggressive and intent on getting things done. You will not let anything or anyone stand in your way and you are not one to mince words. You are responsible, caring and know how to handle others.
