CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Reese Witherspoon, 35; Elvis Stojko, 39; Bob Costas, 59; William Shatner, 80.

Happy Birthday: Your emphasis should be on relationships — both business and personal. Equality will make or break whatever connection you have to the people around you. This is the time to come up with new ideas and ways of doing things that will add to your efficiency and also allow you to grow creatively, financially and emotionally. 

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Strength and courage will set you apart from the competition. Collaborating with someone who has something you need will put you in a different category than everyone you need to deal with professionally, personally and financially. 

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You’ll be pulled in different directions when dealing with business and personal partners. Don’t be too free with your opinions until you have heard what everyone else has to say. You may change your mind once you have had time to digest what’s going on. 

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Rely on the connections you have made over the years to help you get what you want now. Don’t be afraid to call in favors or to spend time and money in order to get ahead. How you display what you have to offer will make the difference. 

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Ulterior motives will be present. If you are too trusting, you are likely to be disappointed. Ask questions and refuse to commit to any agreement until all the details are clear. Change can be good but it has to be right for you. 

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You cannot let emotional matters stand in the way of your success. Focus on what you need to know in order to get ahead and the changes you must make to stand out. Opportunity knocks and you have to jump in with both feet. 

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Make a conscious effort to take care of everyone’s concerns, including your own. Being aggressive regarding a personal relationship will show your devotion. Arrange a trip that will ease your stress. 

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Personal matters will cause confusion. Focus on your career or money matters and how you can make your life better. Turn your back on anyone trying to sway you in a direction that doesn’t suit you. 

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Take action. Now is a good time to throw yourself behind your dreams, hopes and wishes and to aggressively move forward with your creative plans for the future. Don’t let uncertainty stand in the way. 

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Don’t get talked into helping those who are lazy when you should be doing more to help make your own life better. Focus on home and family and what will make you a better person and your surroundings more conducive to what you want to accomplish. 

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Stick close to home. Problems while traveling or dealing with authority figures, institutions or government agencies will lead to setbacks. Now is not the time to put pressure on others. 

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Don’t let love be your demise. If something isn’t working, do something about it. There is nothing that cannot be fixed if you approach it the right way. Fairness and honesty are all that’s required. 

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Dig out old contracts and you will discover a way to improve your position through negotiation. There is plenty of room for advancement. It never hurts to ask for what you want as long as you are willing to give back and compromise.

Birthday Baby: You are strong and independent. You have a positive outlook and you stand up for your beliefs and rights.
