CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Corinne Bailey Rae, 32; Erykah Badu, 40; Mark Dacascos, 47; Michael Bolton, 58.

Happy Birthday: Your intuition is good but your timing is not. Avoid making rash decisions and impulsive moves. Problems with authority figures will be blown out of proportion if you cannot contain the way you feel. Instead, work quietly behind the scenes accomplishing your own goals. It’s your choice this year — make the right one. 

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Don’t let impulse be your downfall. There are too many variables today to take a risk that could set you back or cause a rift between you and someone you respect and/or love. Think before you act. 

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): The more you interact with others, the more you will accomplish. Understanding what others want and need will help you make decisions that will benefit everyone. Be the driving force instead of the one being pulled along. 

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Stop before you do or say something that will label you. You’ll be expected to fulfill a promise you make, so be realistic about what you can or cannot do. A change within a close personal relationship will be emotional. 

CANCER (June 21-July 22): If something appears to be impossible, it probably is. However, if you can see a way to unmask your fear of failure, you may be able to use your knowledge, experience and sound memory to navigate your way to the finish line. 

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): An opportunity is apparent but will only work out favorably if it is within your means. Decide what you can live without and set your sights on what you can acquire. Building assets will ease your stress and secure your future. 

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You can find love or make your current relationship better by being attentive and compromising. Don’t be afraid to show your aggressive side, especially when it comes to physical activities and challenges that test your strength and endurance. 

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You may have your pulse on something that is truly creative but trying to get others to see your vision won’t be that easy. Remove your emotions from the equation and find a practical way to incorporate what you want to do. 

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Doors are opening. You can accomplish plenty if you work from home or you arrange your residence to suit your goal-oriented needs. A change will bring with it inspiration and motivation. 

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You will be up against opposition and can easily disrupt plans unintentionally. A sudden change of heart on your part or that of someone you are close to will mean you must protect your assets and your reputation. 

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Don’t take on someone’s responsibilities. It’s vital that you put your strengths to work for yourself, so you don’t fall behind. Getting together or the memories of someone from your past will help you make a decision about your future. 

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Join a group that will help you to help yourself. With added discipline, you can reach goals you fell short on in the past. Walk away from any poor influence and you will send a signal that confirms you are on the right track. 

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You must proceed with caution, especially when your personal well-being is at risk. Sometimes it’s best to keep a secret and spare someone’s feelings, especially if you are uncertain of what has actually transpired. 

Birthday Baby: You are insightful, emotional and extremely adaptable. You never do anything without making a big splash.
