THE LAST WORD IN ASTROLOGY BY EUGENIA LAST

     CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Keke Palmer, 31; Macaulay Culkin, 44; Chris Pine, 44; Melissa McCarthy, 54.

Happy Birthday: Stay focused on what you want to achieve this year, and refuse to let outside influences overrule your plans. Keep your emotions in check and your to-do list close by. How you handle expenses and deal with situations that require you to depend on others will determine how much you achieve. Don’t hold back; voice your opinion and offer incentives to coax others to see things your way. Your numbers are 3, 11, 16, 25, 32, 40, 46.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Take a panoramic view of what you are dealing with and adjust your coordinates accordingly. It’s up to you to look out for yourself, your position, and your reputation. Leave nothing to chance or at someone else’s discretion. Pay attention to detail, conversations, and protocol. 4 stars

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Address bureaucratic issues before they escalate. Check bank accounts and automatic payments, and consider who can access your personal information or secrets. Tighten up security and take care of matters personally. The changes you make will put your mind at ease and boost your confidence. 3 stars

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Don’t take on so much that you limit what you can achieve. Strive to use your skills resourcefully, and you’ll get the highest return and the most unexpected offers. Steer clear of temptation or those prompting you to slack, indulge, or overspend. Use your intelligence, gauge your prospects, and progress. 3 stars

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Don’t be fooled by someone who isn’t transparent. Ask questions, take liberties, and consider every angle before you let anyone interfere in your personal or professional life. A physical change to your setup at home or work will give you leverage to get more done. 3 stars

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Money and emotions won’t mix well today. Refuse to let anyone pressure you into paying for their mistakes or desires. Offer guidance, but let that someone be you when putting your money behind someone. Invest in your skills, experience, and prospects that encourage your success. 4 stars

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Keep your eyes wide open and be ready to counter anything that isn’t working for you. Too much choice or taking on more than you can handle will leave you vulnerable. Put your energy into self-improvement, not trying to turn someone else into someone they are not. 2 stars

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Read, exercise your mind, add to your skills, and venture down a path that excites you. Expanding your vision and knowledge looks encouraging, but don’t let someone take control when you can wheel and deal for yourself. Step up, take charge, and opportunities will follow. 5 stars

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Putting trust in others will cause disappointment. Know what you want and turn your ideas and plans into something tangible. Take better care of your health and schedule your day according to your energy level and responsibilities. Be flexible, but don’t waste time on scammers. 3 stars

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): People who play games or use unorthodox methods to grab attention or talk you into something you can’t afford will draw your attention. Rethink your relationships and assess any situation that warrants trust issues. Use intelligence, research, and action to outmaneuver anyone trying to exploit you. 3 stars

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Assemble and implement your plan. Don’t rely on anyone to take care of essential issues for you. Change that begins and ends with you will pay off and encourage longevity and prospects far beyond your dreams. Someone will mislead you if you give them the chance. 3 stars

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Stick close to home, pay attention to detail, and don’t give in to someone trying to take advantage of you. Rely on your intuition regarding money, health, or signing up for something you’ve never done before. Invest in yourself and the things you enjoy doing most. 5 stars

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Get your facts and figures straight before you agree to partner with someone or make unnecessary changes at home. A premature move will result in regret. Be forthright, discuss your concerns, and take the time you require to look for a cost-efficient way to get what you want. 2 stars

Birthday Baby: You are aggressive, opportunistic, and ambitious. You are thorough and unique.

     1 star: Avoid conflicts; work behind the scenes. 2 stars: You can accomplish, but don’t rely on others. 3 stars: Focus, and you’ll reach your goals. 4 stars: Aim high; start new projects. 5 stars: Nothing can stop you; go for gold.
