CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Drea de Matteo, 39; Shawn Wayans, 42; Katie Sagal, 57; Dolly Parton, 65.

Happy Birthday: Base your decisions on facts, not hearsay. Your emotions will be difficult to control and a great deal of thought must go into planning your actions, especially during the first half of the year. Work diligently toward your goals and you can prosper and gain ground personally and professionally during the second half of the year. 

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Don’t take chances if they might create a negative influence on your personal or professional status. If you are too vocal, you will limit the possibilities. Keen perception and diplomacy will be required. 

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Talks will lead to decisions that will allow you to move ahead. Do not let anyone upset your plans. Change is your friend, not the enemy, so embrace what comes your way and make it work for you. 

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Focus on your future and on stretching your money. If whatever you are spending your money on is not going to help you earn more, don’t do it. Prudence will make you feel better, spending on frivolous items will not. 

CANCER (June 21-July 22): If you feel you cannot accomplish something on your own, get some help. A partnership can make all the difference. Compromise may be required but will be worth your while. Now is a good time to implement the changes you’ve been talking about. 

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You don’t need to have a meltdown to get others to listen. Put your plan together and present it with dignity and diplomacy. Anger will only cause you to overlook something or someone important to your future. 

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): The effort you put into your home will pay off. Socializing more will bring you in contact with someone who can help you make positive changes to your future. Be a participant instead of a spectator. 

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): There will be plenty of turmoil going on around you and it’s important to be the friendly observer who can bring peace and order to the chaos. Focus on your own creative endeavors while you oversee what everyone around you is doing. 

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Get back to basics. Once you get rid of any unnecessary items and chores, you will have more time to spend on what really can make a difference in your life. It’s your life, so take control and do what’s best for you. 

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Go at your own pace financially, emotionally and physically if you want to get to the finish line. Love is in the stars but you have to be honest about whether or not you are able to give what’s required to make it work. 

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You’ve got the right attitude and you can make a difference. Try to be upfront about what you expect from others and what you are willing to give back. An unusual change will come as a surprise. 

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Slow down. Acting in haste will cause more harm than good. It’s better to work as a team player and be included. Make the right choice and love will flourish; making the wrong one will alienate you from those you care about most. 

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You may think you have all the answers but when faced with pressure or even a little forceful action, you will be second-guessing some of the decisions you’ve made in the past. Concentrate more on personal changes and with whom you can connect with socially. 

Birthday Baby: You follow your heart and your dreams. You are steadfast, strong, persistent and fair.
