CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: George Strait, 53; Reggie Jackson, 59; Dwayne Hickman, 71; Robert Morse, 74

Happy Birthday: Your home life may be a little out of control this year. Failure to compromise or show patience will result in explosions. Getting involved in projects you enjoy will help alleviate the personal issues going on in your life. The chance to work in an unusual capacity or with someone unique is apparent.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): The more involved you become in a project that interests you, the less time you will have to worry about the things you can’t change right now. The limitations you’ve been experiencing are lifting, so focus on getting ahead.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You have it together today. If you really want something, you will find a way to get it. The younger people in your life will have a huge impact on the way you see things. Make romantic plans early.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Focus on romance and forget about the little aggravations you are experiencing with family members. Leave well enough alone and follow a more creative route. A change of scene or lifestyle may be in order.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Spend time with friends; anything you try to do with family will be futile. A trip that will lead to a new experience should bring about an interesting turn of events. Expect to receive something interesting.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): The opportunity to make a change that will put you in a better future position must not be passed off because it doesn’t offer the same glory. Sometimes more money is a high enough reward. Rid yourself of unwanted debt.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Take a look at what you can do to make your position or a project you are working on unique and interesting. The less time spent thinking about little aggravations and the more time spent being creative and productive, the better.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You may have to deal with authority figures today. Don’t push your luck or lose your temper. The less said, the further ahead you’ll be. A love interest from your past may be on your mind.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): An opportunity to get involved in a publishing deal or something that will help to push your career higher is present. Networking should be treated as a social event. After all, if someone enjoys your company, he or she will want to work with you.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): It’s what you do for the underdog that will count today. The more you try to appease someone in your personal life, the less likely you will succeed. Don’t let emotional matters get you down.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Communication will be required if you want to get to the bottom of things. A little time put aside for fun will bring about a surprise. Let someone you care about know exactly how you feel.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Open your door to friends or people with the same interests as you. An older relative may need your help or encouragement. Travel a short distance if it will help you accomplish what needs to be done.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Your restlessness will lead you to jump in with both feet. Be careful not to promise too much to too many. You will be emotional, uncertain and probably change your direction and your mind several times.

Birthday Baby: You are bright and creative, but you can be a little jealous. You strive to be and do your best, and you don’t take lightly anyone who tries to outdo you. You are a wanderer, a traveler and a scholar.
