CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Tom Cruise, 48; Montel Williams, 54; Dave Barry, 63; Tom Stoppard, 73.

Happy Birthday: Stop sulking and start to make your life the way you want it before you have regrets. Consider what you want, what you have and what isn’t working for you and be proactive. Be a little more demanding and you will gain the respect you want and deserve. Success comes from taking action. 

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Don’t worry about something you cannot change. Put your work aside and enjoy doing something that interests you that will make you feel good about yourself. Don’t let anyone put limitations or demands on you — be clear about what you will put up with. 

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): New friends can be made while traveling or attending a conference or taking a course. High energy, coupled with accuracy and speed, will show everyone you mean business. Don’t be afraid to show your emotions. 

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Past emotional situations will surface. Let your experience guide you to a better ending. Anger solves nothing. Expanding your interests and trying new activities will lead to meeting someone with whom you have a lot in common. 

CANCER (June 21-July 22): You can turn a wrong into a right and appeal to the people you need in your corner if you speak from the heart and share your feelings. If you wait for things to come to you, you will miss out on something good. Changes at home will be positive. 

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Travel, intrigue and financial gains can all play into your life. Good fortune is within reach. Uncertainty will be what holds you back. Be ready to take action and get in the game. 

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Focus on love, relationships and making things the best you can at home. Don’t overspend or go overboard in order to have fun. There are plenty of ways to spice things up without going into debt. 

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You cannot give in to ultimatums or unreasonable demands. It may be emotionally draining but, by procrastinating or giving in, an ongoing dilemma will eventually lead to a dead end. Do something creative that will ease your stress. 

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): It’s time to cut your losses so you can move on to a friendly situation. Don’t be fooled by someone you have trusted in the past. Everyone is looking out for his or her own interests. 

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Careful what you say or do — you may be blamed for meddling. An investment that interests you will probably not be as good as you hoped. If you really want to invest, consider learning a new skill or picking up additional knowledge. 

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Taking charge will show everyone where you stand and what your intentions are. You can expect to have a problem with a neighbor or relative who wants to call the shots. Consider a partnership in order to complete what you’ve started. 

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Consider past relationships so you don’t make the same mistake. Be honest with yourself and the people trying to help you and you will find a way to change your lifestyle and your future. 

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You have to make up your own mind if you want to have any say in the way things transpire. Step things up a bit, take control and, before you know it, you will have an equal share in whatever you pursue — a relationship, project or a deal. 

Birthday Baby: You will use everything within your means to get your way. You are smart and agile and will not tolerate bullies.
