CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Vanessa Marcil, 42; Emeril Lagasse, 51; Sarah Ferguson, 51; Penny Marshall, 67.

Happy Birthday: Keep your eyes open wide when dealing with large corporations or government agencies. Don’t leave anything to chance. Maintain communication with family so that no one is taken by surprise when you decide to make a change. Life is simple so don’t make it unnecessarily complex. 

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Lend a helping hand. The impression you make will lead to a proposal you will want to consider. Someone with more experience or something you learned in the past will help you make the right choice now. 

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You have more options but won’t realize it if you are too absorbed in a personal problem. Move toward a brighter future by branching out in a direction that allows you to put your skills, talents and attributes to better use. 

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Take on a challenge. A job prospect looks good and can help you solve some of your personal problems if you make a move. A short trip will enable you to connect with someone helpful. 

CANCER (June 21-July 22): There will be changes made based on what you do that will influence your future. Love and romance are apparent. A promise made will enable you to improve your current living situation. 

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You may be undecided about someone or something going on in your personal life. Sort out what needs to be done and move forward before you don’t have a choice. Change will be required and, although distasteful initially, you will benefit in the end. 

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Change is required but you cannot do it alone. Ask the people you feel most akin to for help. Join forces so you can all pitch in to make life easier for you as a group. Reverting back to an old lifestyle will help cut costs. 

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Ease your stress by moving forward. Deal with the people who influence your life and your emotional well-being. The changes you make at home will bring marked improvement for you and anyone you reside with. Don’t look back. 

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Don’t allow innuendos or someone’s negativity to take you in the wrong direction. You know what changes need to be made, so get moving. Opportunity knocks but, if you aren’t ready because you are too busy satisfying everyone around you, you will get left behind. 

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You can focus on getting ahead and advance or you can focus on what’s going on in your personal life and take a step backward. There is nothing you can do to change the past, so own up to any wrongdoing and move forward. 

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Lift any burden that has been put on you. It’s OK to say no if you don’t have time or if someone is taking advantage of your generosity and good nature. Think of what’s best for you and your family and act accordingly. 

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): There are plenty of possibilities but you have to make a choice. You can remain in the same position, doing the same thing over and over again, or you can make the changes required to bring greater satisfaction to your life. 

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You can win favors as well as someone’s approval if you are willing to go the distance and follow through with your promises. Don’t become a chameleon or let someone’s negativity or refusal to take part in your plans stop you from reaching your set goals. 

Birthday Baby: You are sensitive, emotional and stubborn. You take life seriously and play to win.
