CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Orlando Bloom, 31; Stephen Hendry, 39; Julia Louis-Dreyfus, 47; Richard Moll, 65

Happy Birthday: Don’t let the little things upset you this year. You have so much potential to excel so don’t get all wrapped up in emotional matters. You must steady yourself, reconfirm your goals and refuse to deviate from your course of action. Ignore opposition and show your strength, determination and desire to succeed. Don’t take on someone else’s responsibilities.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Take a day trip; enjoy the company of someone you don’t get to spend enough time with. An active day that gets your heart pumping and your adrenalin flowing will exhilarate you and help you come to decisions regarding other areas of your life.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You’ll be getting lots of advice but probably not much that will be welcomed or helpful. Focus on what you can do yourself to get things done to your specifications. Keep it simple and cost efficient.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Just because someone asks for help doesn’t mean that you should drop everything and run to assist. Someone you are emotionally connected to will likely use emotional blackmail – don’t give in to unfair tactics.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Take advantage of any opportunity that comes your way. If a job that interests you is posted on the Internet, send off your resume. You have lots to gain by looking ahead and planning for your future.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Ideas will be coming to you one after another. Jot everything down so you have a reference throughout the year as opportunities arise. A little fun and games with friends or your lover could be costly if you don’t set a spending limit.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Take the day to explore new places or to make new friends. Do things that interest you even if you have to go alone. Children may play a role in your life today. Listen carefully.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Make plans to take a day trip or experience an unusual form of entertainment or activity that allows you to show off and will be beneficial to you. Don’t get emotional or overreact regarding matters you can do nothing about.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Don’t be too trusting. If you let down your guard, someone will disappoint you. You can get things done around the house but try to do the work yourself. Contractors aren’t likely to do as good a job.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Refuse to get into serious discussions that have to do with friends, neighbors or relatives. You will only end up in a stalemate that will be difficult if not impossible to rectify. Spend time with the one person who understands and loves you.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Money matters rule today. There is an investment that needs your attention or a purchase that will certainly add value to your home. A change in your position, status or the way you are treated is in the stars. Money will come to you from an unusual source.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Don’t take chances when it comes to love. You don’t want to upset someone you care about, so do whatever you think will please, encourage or entice. Your actions will lead to rewards that are far beyond your expectations.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Trouble is brewing at home or within your group. Friends, relatives, neighbors and family may be on edge. Play it safe and keep your own emotions intact. An emotional change is heading your way. Acceptance will be required.

Birthday Baby: You are imaginative, emotional and sensitive to what others do or say. You are inspirational and creative.
