CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Jude Law, 37; Bryan “Dexter” Holland, 44; Ted Danson, 62; Marianne Faithfull, 63.

Happy Birthday: The option to make money or to follow a creative dream may confuse you. Don’t limit the possibilities by failing to follow through. Action will prove what you are capable of doing. It’s a fine line you are walking and it’s extremely important you oversee every step with an open mind. Your numbers are 7, 13, 20, 25, 27, 31, 44.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Stop bickering. Take time to think about your future plans and to consider how they will affect all the people you love and who love you. Don’t leave problems unsolved.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Do not overreact to things that you can do nothing about or about which you don’t have all the information. Focus on fun, travel and getting together with friends. Close the year with a joyful gesture and determined attitude.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You must ignore any legal, financial or contractual problems for the moment. The only thing that will help you right now is to distance yourself from the mayhem and focus on bringing in the year on a happy note. Avoid pressure and arguments.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Think before you act or prepare to face a head-on battle with someone looking for trouble. Minor accidents or mishaps will occur if you are careless or preoccupied. Avoid responsibilities that don’t belong to you.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Make plans to entertain or do something special for the people you care about the most. Your high energy will help to lift the spirits of someone who has been through a difficult time. Expect your expenses to be more than anticipated but worth every penny.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You don’t have to take on responsibilities that aren’t meant to be yours alone. If you work as a team player, you will gain respect and end up with the best of everything.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): It’s the time spent with family and friends that will help you revisit an old idea that can fit quite nicely into your plans for the new year. Have patience with someone older — there is something to be learned from the experience being offered.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): A special offer is heading your way. Share your thoughts with friends and you will get the inside scoop you need to take a different path. A move or change at home will give you greater security and the opportunity to do something you’ve been wanting to do.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): It’s time to make a choice instead of avoiding the inevitable. By being noncommittal, you are painting yourself as someone afraid to make a move. Surprise everyone by stepping up, voicing your opinion and being honest.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Don’t hold back if you have an attentive audience and the chance to drum up support for something you want to pursue in the new year. Your originality coupled with a little pressure will be tempting.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You will enjoy getting together with friends who appreciate your wisdom and knowledge. Don’t be surprised if a friendship you’ve been enjoying turns into a partnership of some sort. Time spent discussing future plans will be entertaining.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You’ll be tempted to make impulsive moves. You mustn’t be fooled by anyone offering something that is too good to be true. You will be vulnerable and easily taken for granted. Say no if you are unsure.

Birthday Baby: You are persistent and strive to do and be your best. You are adaptable and always open to suggestions. You are a good friend and companion.
