CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Mischa Barton, 25; Tatyana Ali, 32; Nastassia Kinski, 52; Neil Diamond, 70.

Happy Birthday: You have the discipline, the determination and the support to begin a new phase in your life. Love, romance, home and family will be enhanced, so put in the time and effort to make the most of your relationships and to solve whatever problems have been a hindrance in the past. Look forward with optimism. 

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Don’t limit what you can do because you are afraid to make a move. Refuse to let anyone rain on your parade. Once you’ve managed to do what must be done, you should enjoy a little celebratory fun with the people you enjoy most. 

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Nothing will stand in your way if you exhibit the determination required to get the job done. You can enhance your reputation through your actions but expect your competition to try to undermine your plans. Prepare well. 

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Don’t keep what you have to offer locked up when you should be showing the world what you can do. Your unique approach to any problem will separate you from the crowd. Stand tall, act fast and you will get the respect and results you are looking for. 

CANCER (June 21-July 22): You have too many choices and the wrong one will set you back. Taking on someone else’s responsibilities may seem like a nice thing to do but, if it will cost you emotionally, professionally or financially, think twice. 

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Look at what and whom you have to work with and it will become apparent what you need to do next. Combine what you have with what you need to get and you will come up with a plan that will lead to your success and a better future. 

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Believe in yourself. Now is not the time to wait and watch while someone else steals your thunder. Take action and network all you can to make your dreams come true. Don’t be just a bystander. 

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Not everyone will be on your side. Keeping things simple and sharing what you know will lure the right people. Once you have all the kinks ironed out, you can present your full initiative. 

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Talk to the people who share your ideas. Don’t let your emotions or possessiveness overshadow what needs to be done. Sometimes it’s necessary to let go of a little in order to make greater gains. Look at the big picture. 

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Take a leadership position. Be a little trendy and outgoing; it’s your originality that will count. Don’t let someone with less vision stifle your plans. You have too much at stake to give in to pressure. 

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You’ll be judged by your performance. Show what you can do and don’t let anyone shut you down. If you must go it alone to get what you want, do so with your head held high. 

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Secure your position and stabilize your life. You can make significant alterations to your lifestyle by taking on more responsibility. It’s how success makes you feel that will truly make a difference to how you live your life in the future.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): This is a day of give and take. Don’t waste time chasing someone or something negative. A partnership will limit you now if you cannot get past what you feel you are owed. Look forward. 

Birthday Baby: You are capable, trendy, cautious but willing to try new things. You have insight and integrity and are compassionate and sensitive.
