CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Shia LaBeouf, 20; Adrienne Barbeau, 61; Chad Everett, 70; Gene Wilder, 73

Happy Birthday: This is a good year to start putting your ideas into play. Learning and developing skills should be priorities. Don’t allow anyone who doesn’t grasp your vision to hold you back. You have the energy and the discipline to finish what you start. This is not a year to waste contemplating the future but one to relish the present.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): You should be looking for something to do that will hold your interest. Traveling or getting involved in a potentially lucrative business should be your goal today. Your competitive drive will keep you ahead of the crowd.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You have to do things right or face the consequences with family or close friends. A situation may get blown out of proportion. A purchase made for your home will add to your comfort and make your chores easier.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You’ll face personal problems if you can’t control your obsession with flirting. You may think you are just being friendly but, to others, you are crossing the line. This could lead to a sudden change with someone you are or wish to be involved with.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): You can make some very worthwhile changes that will enable you to advance professionally in the near future. An opportunity to do something that will enhance your looks or that will bring you greater popularity is evident.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You’re think-big attitude may be cause for worry. Being bold is fine but you don’t have to overspend to impress someone. Be inventive and use your imagination, receiving the popularity and praise you are looking for.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Someone is likely to tell you what you want to hear but that won’t be what’s actually happening. Be realistic or you may end up losing money as well as a friendship. This is not the time to follow the crowd.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Activities that lend themselves to networking and dealing with people will lead to fabulous information and food for thought. Someone you consider to be a confidant will need a little extra attention. Make time for him or her and you’ll be a hero.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You can lay the foundation for something you want to pursue over the upcoming weeks. Don’t go overboard financially, however. You should be able to barter to get what you want and need at a price you can afford. Don’t be bashful.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You may feel inclined to take drastic measures if things aren’t going your way personally or emotionally. Think twice – force doesn’t usually work long-term. Someone will call your bluff if you make idle threats. Keep a low profile.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You’ll be in work mode. You have plenty on your mind and much you want to accomplish. Open up a dialogue with someone you know can offer you another way to approach something you want to pursue.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Troubles with a past lover will surface. Don’t take any guff from anyone who shouldn’t be in your life anymore. Your mind should be on new professional possibilities. Favors will be granted if you ask for help.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You won’t be thinking straight personally and emotionally. Just because someone tells you everything is OK doesn’t mean that it is. There’s plenty going on of which you aren’t aware.

Birthday Baby: You are popular, possessive and passionate. You care deeply about others and do whatever you can to help the underdog. You are emotional, sensitive and unpredictable.
