CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Emma Watson, 28; Seth Rogen, 36; Emma Thompson, 59; Roy Clark, 85.

Happy Birthday: Love and romance are encouraged and will improve your life. Take more interest in personal growth and obtaining insight into the people you deal with this year. Open discussions will help you gain ground, while sitting back and letting others take control will leave you at a loss and without the influence that can help you make a difference. Your numbers are 7, 16, 25, 27, 32, 36, 47.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Your emotions will fuel your fire. Avoid discussions that have the potential to turn into an argument. It is better to keep the peace, listen and digest what’s being said, and consider how best to respond when ready. 3 stars

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Your temper may take over if someone does something you don’t like. Try using diplomacy before you engage in brute force or threats. If you push someone, he or she will push back. Show compassion and the willingness to compromise. 3 stars

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Make suggestions, but don’t let anyone drop responsibilities in your lap. Taking on too much will take its toll on you mentally, physically and financially. Offer only what you know you can and want to handle. 4 stars

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Refrain from getting into a dispute with someone you care about, or you will damage your relationship. Be willing to compromise or at least back away until you don’t feel emotionally drained. Choose peace and love over conflict and chaos. 2 stars

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Don’t let what others do or say get to you. Trust and believe in your ability to bring about the changes that suit you best. Let your creative imagination help you discover what you love and do best. 5 stars

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You’ll be overruled by someone else’s agenda if you don’t speak up and make your position clear. It’s OK to do things on your own if you stand to gain more by doing so. Focus on inner growth and physical improvements. 3 stars

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You’ll face adversity if you cannot come to terms with what someone wants from you or from your relationship. Make your position clear. If you are indecisive, nothing will change or be resolved. Don’t overspend or put up with indulgent behavior. 3 stars

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Keeping your plans out in the open will help you avoid a problem when the time comes to move forward. Open discussions and finding solutions to any unforeseen problems will encourage success as well as help to keep the peace. 3 stars

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Get out and have some fun. Engage in something you find challenging but motivating. Deal with issues that concern youngsters or those who look to you for help. 5 stars

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Stick close to home and avoid conversations with people who don’t see things the same way you do. Getting into a debate will only upset you when you should be more concerned with self-preservation and your personal comfort. 2 stars

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You’ll face uncertainty regarding a joint endeavor. Listen to what’s being offered and on the agenda before signing up for something likely to fall short of your expectations. Do your own thing and focus on inner growth and personal change. 4 stars

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Step away from situations that are taxing or causing you anxiety. Make plans to do something with someone you love or to spend time relaxing, gathering your thoughts and taking care of your physical, emotional and mental needs. Romance is encouraged. 3 stars

Birthday Baby: You are excitable, playful and spontaneous. You are opportunistic and ambitious.
