CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Rihanna, 23; Brian Littrell, 36; Willie Garson, 47; Sidney Poitier, 84.

Happy Birthday: Emotional matters will get you into trouble if you act out inappropriately. Gauge responsibly whatever situation you face. Make things work for everyone involved. This is not the year to be intimidated or to let anyone bully you. Avoidance and evasiveness will be viewed as weakness.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): The damage you do to an important relationship will be difficult to reverse. Focus more on your current professional goals and you will avoid getting into trouble in your personal life. Don’t overindulge.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Don’t trust anyone trying to get something from you for nothing. Insincere gestures of friendliness will lead to an annoying situation that will be difficult to handle. Simply say no to someone who puts unreasonable demands on you.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Reevaluate your current position and consider what you have to offer and if your skills are being used to the fullest. You can reinvent what you do and apply it to other positions in the job market. Don’t settle for less when you can have more.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): You will have to compromise if you don’t want to damage your relationship with a friend, lover or relative. You are inclined to take things the wrong way and to blow situations out of proportion. You may owe someone an apology.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): A day trip or visiting a place or friend that motivates you will set a positive mood and provide the opportunity to try something new. A burden you’ve been carrying will finally pay off, lowering your stress.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Take time out to spend with someone you love or, if you are single, to participate in a social event that will allows you to meet someone special. Updating your looks or the way you do things will contribute to the compliments and cooperation you receive from others.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Avoid getting involved in a senseless discussion. Someone will take advantage of your good nature and try to guilt you into something you don’t want to do. Decline and move on quickly to more enjoyable people and pastimes.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Change will brighten your day and bring you new possibilities. Anger, resentment and revenge are a waste of time. Reinvent what and how you use your talent and skill to reach higher goals.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Larger quarters, more people around you or visitors bearing gifts or solutions to some of the difficulties you face will all lead to a better future. You will express your thoughts persuasively and capture the attention of someone who can help you advance.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Be careful what you say and believe. Nothing you hear will be based on facts and contributing to false information will damage your reputation. Take a neutral position and steer clear of anyone using emotional blackmail.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Size up your personal and financial situation and make whatever changes are required in order to reach your goals. Your experience will help you make the right choice and keep you from falling into a trap that someone from your past is setting.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): A partnership is likely to leave you feeling depressed and unsettled. Go to the source and find out exactly what’s going on and where you stand. Then you can go about your day without a heavy burden hanging over your head.

Birthday Baby: You are a trendsetter and you fear little and embrace the unknown. You are intent on fighting for truth and fair play.
