CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Amanda Peet, 36; Mary J. Blige, 37; Kim Coles, 42; Naomi Judd, 62.

Happy Birthday: You have paid your dues and it’s time to put what you’ve learned into play. Don’t be afraid to try something entirely new. It’s time to put all your experience and wisdom to work for you and proceed to the finish line.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Take a very secretive approach to what you do. Less talk and more action will take others by surprise and add to the impact you have. Don’t let someone else’s uncertainty stop you.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Be careful not to leave yourself wide open for criticism. Someone will be quick to point out flaws so, before you present an idea or concern, make sure you have thought matters through to the end.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You’ll be overly sensitive but don’t let that stop you from saying and doing what you feel is right. You will accomplish a lot if you get things that are bothering you out in the open. Love issues are likely to arise.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): You can go the distance today, proving how valuable you are. Change is good and you should end up in a good position. An opportunity to learn something new will secure your professional life.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Don’t be too quick to put your money into something you know little about. Being generous with loved ones will backfire. Love is in the stars, however, so do show affection.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Show everyone how much fun you can be. You have a lot to offer but, if the people you want to work with don’t enjoy your company, you aren’t likely to go far. Show your human side and an interest in other people’s personal lives.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Don’t stop short of what you want to do or you will miss out on something spectacular. Make arrangements to visit someone you miss or work on a hobby that interests you. A change of scenery will be good for you.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You are better off doing things that will challenge you mentally, physically and emotionally. Sticking around home will only get you down or lead to problems with the people you live with. Put your energy into doing something constructive.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Your adventurous side is tempting you to visit unusual or unfamiliar destinations. Love and romance look promising, so position yourself to meet someone new if you are single or to make plans to do something unique with your current partner.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You should probably put in extra hours if it will help you finish something that you enjoy working on. You will be able to produce so much more if you are allowed to work freely on your own, without outside influences.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You will be emotional today, so don’t get into no-win battles. Put your worries in the closet and get out with friends, a lover or someone who will help take your mind off your troubles. It’s amazing how things can fix themselves.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): There are secrets being kept from you. If you don’t have all the information, don’t move forward or it could cost you. A sudden change in your life will take you out of your element.

Be prepared to deal with older relatives or friends.

Birthday Baby: You can separate your feelings from your actions. You are extraordinary in the way you approach life. You are progressive, proactive and a freethinker.
