CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Eric Lindros, 35; Robert Sean Leonard, 39; John Turturro, 51; Bernadette Peters, 60.

Happy Birthday: Ready yourself for change. Be prepared to accept the inevitable and show your ability to adapt and you will prove you have what it takes to move up in the world. An open mind and strong will power will be required to advance. This can be a great year if you are willing to take a leap of faith.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): If you are playing by the rules, you have nothing to fear but, you can expect someone to try to make you look bad or to pressure you into something you don’t want. Take control – don’t get angry or overreact. Gauge your motives.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Don’t let a stressful relationship hold you back. Trips will lead to opportunities to expand your interests and skills. A love connection may cause you some grief – if so, you may want to allow yourself some space.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Use your imagination and the sky will be the limit as to what you can accomplish today. It’s your ability to make what you do a little different than everyone else that will help you gain recognition. Spend time working on your own.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Work-related matters will be a little iffy today, especially if you become emotional or stubborn. Take things one at a time and refrain from imagining things are a lot worse than what they really are. Think positively.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You can make financial gains if you play your cards right. A love interest is more interested in you than you realize. Tread carefully if you or he or she are already involved with someone else.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): An interesting conversation with someone you’d consider partnering with will give you greater insight into the possibilities that exist. A problem with someone you live with or that you are close to will leave you with additional responsibilities.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You are in a high cycle when it comes to romance, adventure and travel. Book a trip or, better still, take off for the day and engage in interesting activities, pampering or a cultural experience. Stick to your budget.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Don’t disagree when dealing with domestic situations. Less talk and more action will be what saves the day in the end. You will have some great ideas but you aren’t likely to be able to sell them.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): As long as you don’t expect things to run smoothly, you will be able to deal with just about anything. Bragging about what you can do will lead to getting stuck doing something you aren’t equipped to do. Use your imagination and research.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Keep your feelings shielded from anyone who may be trying to find out what you are going to do. It’s the element of surprise that will keep you in whatever game you play. A chance to pay back a debt or collect one will eliminate stress.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You are finally in a position to push, reform or get what you want. Plan your actions and execute them without hesitation. Your Aquarius charm and vivid imagination will win the approval of the people you deal with professionally and personally.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Tread carefully when it comes to talks or negotiations. Becoming emotional will not help you get what you want. Prove your ability to do what’s required of you.

Birthday Baby: You may be unpredictable to the onlooker but you know exactly what you are trying to accomplish. You are clever, intuitive and always proactive.
