CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Gavin Rossdale, 41; Harry Hamlin, 55; Henry Winkler, 61; Grace Slick, 67

Happy Birthday: Don’t be confused by what’s going on around you. Now is the time for change and, if you don’t follow through to make things better, you will continue to spin your wheels. This year is about getting ahead. Don’t let anyone deter you from doing what you know is best for you.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Now is the time to flourish, not to be shy and reluctant to take what’s yours. Show your worth and you will not be denied. A strong sense of fair play will put you ahead of the competition.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Instead of trying to move against the grain, go with it for a change. Stubbornness isn’t going to get you very far so give a little and you will realize how much easier it is for you to move forward.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Make a move in a direction more conducive to what you do best. An interview or working on a project at home can lead to a prosperous future. Don’t let anyone’s negativity deter you from following through with your plans.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Enjoy the moment but not so much that you miss out on something fun to do. Lazing around will not get you where you want to go. Love, romance and all that jazz are looking very hot indeed.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You may be a little confused with the signals you are getting. Now is not the time to make promises, sign contracts or push for change. Hold tight and wait for a clear sign that you are doing the right things.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Times are changing so keep up. Learn all you can about something that caught your eye or an idea you heard at a recent event. Do the groundwork and rely on your own findings if you want to be successful.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Update your look or change your course of direction today. Now is a perfect time to expand your awareness and broaden your vocation so that you are versatile enough to jump from one thing to another.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Focus on the changes you can make at home that will make your life more comfortable and user-friendly. A connection from your past should be reinstated. You still have much to learn from one another.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Find out what you need to know to move in a direction that suits you better. Education, travel and picking up skills are all highlighted today. A change in attitude or philosophy is apparent but be careful not to get involved in a group that wants to capture your identity.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Set your goals high and be relentless in your pursuit and you will attain what you set out to do. Don’t trust anyone who says they will do it for you. Take control and follow through until the end.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): People who don’t have your best interest at heart will try to sway you. You have to figure things out for yourself. Stay away from groups or organizations that want to change you drastically.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Money matters can be worked out today: Property investments, winnings, rebates, settlements look very positive. Watch out, however, for someone trying to manipulate the situation. Be secretive about your proceedings.

Birthday Baby: You are the grand master at convincing others to see or do things your way. You are original, imaginative, inventive and resourceful. Your intensity, courage and strength cannot be matched.
