     CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Christina Perri, 38; Matthew Perry, 55; John Stamos, 61; Bill Clinton, 78.

Happy Birthday: Consistency matters. Formulate a plan and stick to it. How you structure your life and strive for equality will determine how others perceive and support your efforts. Think big, but only take on what’s possible. Delegate your time and energy to overall success instead of falling short in all areas of life but one. Spread your wealth of knowledge and conquer your dreams. Your numbers are 7, 15, 24, 27, 32, 38, 46.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): When dealing with colleagues, you must read between the lines. Only some people will reveal what they think or want. Ask questions, be supportive, and help, and you’ll make connections that provide benefits when you need assistance. Keep spending to a minimum. Networking will offer insight into new possibilities. 3 stars

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): An emotional response will require backup from an expert. Make sure you have your facts straight before you pass them along. An unnecessary change will waste both time and money. Focus on saving and using discipline to protect you from situations full of temptation and poor choices. 4 stars

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Choose preferences and what you want to achieve before you agree to take on projects that help others more than they do yourself. Learn from experience that being generous with your time and skills is only sometimes the best way forward. Have faith in your ability to lead. 5 stars

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Explore options and let your creative imagination run wild, but don’t prematurely share your thoughts or intentions. Make sure you have the budget to fulfill your plans before you begin. Hidden expenses and unexpected interference are apparent if your privacy is not protected. Discipline and commitment are necessary. 3 stars

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Rely on your instincts to lead you in the right direction. Apply yourself, and don’t be afraid to be unique and to do things differently if it helps you achieve your goal. Aim to stabilize meaningful relationships using kindness and consideration. 3 stars

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Simplify your life, ease stress, and don’t let anyone talk you into something that causes anxiety. Pay attention to your health and emotional well-being, and spend time with people you find uplifting and motivating. Pay attention to detail, your appearance, and meaningful relationships. Romance is favored. 3 stars

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Socialize, travel, interact and make new acquaintances. Reaching out will help you accumulate information that can help you avoid poor choices. Knowledge will encourage realistic expectations and the ability to dismiss anyone trying to lead you astray. An enthusiastic attitude will help you achieve your goals. 5 stars

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Concentrate on using your imagination and creativity to distance yourself from controversy and emotional situations you have no jurisdiction over. Give yourself the chance to chill and discover what makes you happy. Take better care of your physical and financial well-being. Only contribute what’s feasible. 2 stars

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Share your thoughts and make a difference. Don’t limit what you do because someone is holding you back or being too demanding. Make your priorities known to anyone who gets in your way. Address relationship issues and put an end to letting others treat you poorly. Equality matters. 4 stars

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Take a serious look at money matters, joint ventures, and situations that are causing stress. It’s time to adjust your schedule to improve your emotional and physical well-being. Don’t hold back when change is necessary. Put yourself first, and don’t pay for something you don’t want or need. 3 stars

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Avoid making changes while angry, emotional, or distraught. Take a moment to think, talk to someone who grounds you, or allow situations to play out naturally before you move. Get involved in something you enjoy doing or gravitate toward people who bring out the best in you. 3 stars

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Be observant, not reactionary. Focus on making your life better and let others fend for themselves. Your strength comes from doing what’s best for you before you make things better for those in your inner circle. Trust your instincts and emphasize discipline to complete your mission. 3 stars
