CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Avril Lavigne, 28; Gwyneth Paltrow, 40; Tamara Taylor, 42; Meat Loaf, 65.

Happy Birthday: Your observation will pay off. Expand on your plans and your mind. Pick up information and new skills that will help you reach your goals. Put less emphasis on the things that bother you, and more on how you can be successful.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Not everyone will share information. Listen carefully and observe what those around you are doing. It will be important to stay in the loop if you want to reach your goals. An interesting partnership will develop from an inquiry.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Pick and choose your arguments and make sure you know what you are talking about before you engage in a conversation. Sticking to doing what you do best and saying little for the time being will bring the best results. Emotional deception is apparent.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You won’t see what’s going on around you clearly. Your emotions will supersede practicality, resulting in trouble at work and with those you count on for help. Keep life and the things you do simple. Avoid overdoing it.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Don’t hold back; clear the air, even if it means you’ll have to face adversity. It’s better to know where you stand and who is by your side at the end of the day. Communication, travel and lifestyle changes are all prevalent.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Live life your way, and don’t pick fights with those who don’t do or feel the same way you do. Gravitate toward the people who do share your sentiments and are striving to make the same improvements as you, and you will find strength.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Pick and choose your friends wisely. You may be attracted to someone for the wrong reasons. Don’t let emotional deception lead to a problem. Mixing business with pleasure may entice you, but it will not be practical or productive.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Mixed emotions will surface over money matters and past relationships. Leave the past behind you and look to new opportunities that will enhance your chance to be successful. A change in the company you keep will pay off.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Rely on your intuition and you will make good personal and creative choices. A chance to make money is available, but will only happen if you adjust what and the way you invest. Support your ideas and believe in what you do.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Avoid serious pursuits that are not clearly defined. You will end up running in circles if you believe everything you hear. Stop and decipher what it is you actually want and who is leading you astray. Don’t take chances.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Learn from the past. Expose what hasn’t worked and remember who may have gotten in your way. Do not make the same mistake twice when there is so much to gain by relying on what you know from the experience you have encountered.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Don’t let anger show your weakness. Concentrate on improvement and getting the most out of whatever you pursue. Fixing up your residence or expanding your circle of friends will lead to greater options. Love is on the rise.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Follow your intuition, but don’t overreact, overdo or overspend. Not everyone will tell you the truth, and it’s up to you to decide what is fact and what is fiction. Be true to your beliefs and standards first and foremost.

Birthday Baby: You are caring and affectionate. You face challenge with courage. You are inventive.
