CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Adam Clayton, 48; Dana Delany, 52; William H. Macy, 58; Neil Sedaka, 69.

Happy Birthday: Use common sense to finish what you start and do it well. Emotional matters will test your patience and lead you off-course if you let them.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): You have to be comfortable with what you are doing and, if you haven’t cleared up the past, it may be difficult to move forward. Do what needs to be done and don’t look back. You will feel so much better once you clear up old, incomplete matters.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Stop sitting still when there is so much to do. You can’t keep spinning your wheels hoping that something will drop in your lap. Take the initiative.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You may feel like shaking things up today but it’s best to let things unfold naturally. Your anxiety will lead to trouble, so keep busy with things that can benefit you financially.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Information is heading your way regarding a project you want to pursue. An experienced individual may have more wisdom than you think, so keep an open mind and listen.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Don’t waste time on trivial matters. It’s what you do that counts, not what you say you will do. A partnership is apparent but be careful that the person in question has as much to contribute as you do. Get everything in writing.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Go big or go home should be your motto today if you want to make a difference. Changes to your position or status will be made possible by someone with clout. Don’t miss out because you are too busy taking care of other people’s problems.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Take off on an adventure or try something different but, most of all, get out and mingle with people you find interesting. You will have a way with words that will captivate but don’t exaggerate.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): A change of plans will work to your advantage. You can make a crucial move or travel to a destination that will help provide you with the information and contacts you need to get ahead. Stop worrying and start doing.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You won’t be emotionally grounded today so think before you do or say something you might regret. Making a change to spite someone will not be to your advantage. Your motives may be heading in the wrong direction.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Someone from your past will have gained enough experience to help you finish something you have been struggling to finish. An emotional chord will be struck when a comment made by someone you least expect is brutally honest.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Use your imagination and make a few changes at home that will make your living quarters more functional. You can discuss matters that concern your personal life with whoever is most likely to influence your future. Be nice but clear about your needs.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Refuse to become upset by what others do or say. Criticism can be a good thing if you take it in the spirit it is meant. Don’t rule out that you might need to make a few changes. This is no time to be stubborn.

Birthday Baby: You are adventuresome, independent and learn quickly. You are thoughtful and won’t give in to bribery or pressure. You are confident, insightful and dedicated.
