CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Kelly Monaco, 48; Jewel, 50; Drew Carey, 66; Joan Collins, 91.

Happy Birthday: A little compassion paired with insight will have you off to the races. Put pressure on yourself to tidy up loose ends, and free yourself to indulge in some pastimes you want to conquer. Consider who you can pass jobs and responsibilities to, and don’t look back. Set the stage for a year to remember instead of enduring. Your numbers are 6, 17, 23, 30, 38, 41, 46.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): You have the drive and desire to get things done. Budget, plan and gather those you want along for the ride. Idle time is the enemy, so stay focused on your goal. It’s time to finish what you start. 3 stars

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Take the initiative and stand up for your beliefs. The only way things will get done is if you do them yourself. Make a change that leads to new beginnings and opportunities, and stop worrying about who keeps up and who falls by the wayside. 3 stars

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Put a plan in place that allows you to fulfill your dreams, and take care of your responsibilities. Leave no room for your critics to point the finger or dismantle your plans. Show passion in everything you do, and you’ll gain momentum. 3 stars

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Keep an open mind, learn as you go and put your imagination to good use. What you discover about yourself will help map out your course of action. A change will lead to an unexpected opportunity. Prepare to make a positive change. 3 stars

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Keep moving forward until you are satisfied with the results. Refuse to let anyone stand between you and your objective. Trust your intuition in joint ventures, finances, health issues and love. If you pay attention, you’ll make better decisions. 5 stars

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Rely on facts and control emotions. Taking a walk down memory lane will remind you why you are heading where you are. Completion is necessary if you want to reach your goal and gain the freedom you deserve to follow your heart. 2 stars

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Don’t stop yourself from having fun. Engage in activities that stimulate your mind and encourage you to look your best. Sharing feelings and intentions with someone special will ground you and help you decide what you want to pursue next. Romance is in the stars. 4 stars

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You’ll feel discombobulated if you don’t take control and know when to say enough is enough. Step outside your comfort zone if that’s what it takes to get things done to your specifications. Recognize an opportunity and jump at the chance to make it happen. 3 stars

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Gather the facts and act accordingly. If you act on gossip, the results will be a letdown. Problems at home or with someone close to you will require time, energy and redirection to improve the situation. Think outside the box, and you’ll find workable solutions. 3 stars

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Try something new, research, let your imagination play a role and see where it leads. An incident will give you the push to bring about positive change and encourage you to take better care of yourself, your finances and what’s important to you. 3 stars

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Size up situations, say what you think and proceed. Recognizing what’s happening and acting to modify the results will give you the confidence to reinvent yourself and what you want to do next. Don’t let anyone stand in your way or cause you to miss out on something you want. 2 stars

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Rise above inevitable situations and live in the moment. Take in the positive and release the negative. A mindset change will help you reverse what is no longer working for you and pave the way to a brighter future. Follow your intuition and heart. 5 stars
