CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Jude Law, 38; Patricia Clarkson, 51; Ted Danson, 63; Jon Voight, 72.

Happy Birthday: This is a learning year that can also parlay into putting the information you acquire to work for you. Progress can be made but determination must be utilized to gain the most. A trip back in time, mentally or physically, will help you summarize what you have already done and what you must do now to prosper.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): You need time to rethink your strategy for the new year. Hanging on to plans that you haven’t been able to execute may be the problem. Don’t limit what you can do by living in the past. Forward thinking is your best bet. 

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Don’t think about work or what you need to get done. Consider your next vacation or what courses you want to sign up for. You will take in information easily and can impress whoever you are with by putting it into practice quickly. 

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Charity is fine but take care of your responsibility to family and close friends first. Changing mid-stream will confuse someone trying to get you to agree on a deal you’ve been working toward. Let others know exactly where you stand. 

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Socializing with peers will lead to favorable changes in your life. Setting up meetings and dates for the new year will give you something to look forward to. Plan some romantic action. 

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Be consistent. If you keep changing your mind or exaggerating, you will confuse or make someone angry. Emotional problems with someone you are close to will develop if you try to dictate new rules. Going out will keep you out of trouble. 

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Talk to a friend, neighbor or relative who can help you get things ready for an activity or event you plan to attend. You will get the cooperation and backing you require. Collaboration will lead to your success. 

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You’ll have to take matters into your own hands and follow through with your plans if you want things done properly and on time. Keep your emotions in check and refuse to let someone’s inadequacy ruin your day. 

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Don’t hide your feelings or play games. Get things out in the open. The time is right to make tough decisions about the future. You can reach your goals if you get rid of the dead weight you’ve been carrying. 

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Be nice to the people around you and to those who need your help and you will bypass conflict. Someone you may be able to partner with will remind you of an interesting idea you had years ago. Accept an inevitable change at home. 

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You’ll have to keep a poker face if you don’t want to rock the boat. Your observations will be insightful and, the less you do or say, the better your chance to counteract what’s happening when the time is right. 

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Don’t let love disrupt your plans. You cannot give in to someone putting demands on you. Focus on what you can do to stabilize your life financially, emotionally and physically. Put your resolutions into play. 

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Go over any last-minute details to make a project you are working on bigger, better and more efficient. Don’t be afraid to make unusual changes. Stick to basics and the truth. Honesty will play a role. 

Birthday Baby: You judge fairly and anticipate wisely. Your desire to act impulsively gets you into trouble. Your intuition will lead you to success.
