THE LAST WORD IN ASTROLOGY BY EUGENIA LAST

CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Christina Ricci, 46; Darren Aronofsky, 57; Josh Brolin, 58; Arsenio Hall, 70.

Happy Birthday: Take the high road. No matter who you are dealing with or what you try to achieve this year, you’ll gain if you are direct and follow through with your plans. Your ability to create and manifest the right balance in your life is doable if you maintain discipline and refuse to let anyone throw you off target. Think big, but filter through what’s necessary and what isn’t, and you’ll gain ground. Your numbers are 3, 11, 23, 29, 32, 34, 45.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Fact-check. Confusion is prevalent and emotionally and financially costly if you bypass research. Reach out, talk to experts, and get the lowdown before you make a move that can affect your lifestyle or livelihood. Medical procedures will not turn out as you expect. Too much of anything will set you back. Choose modesty, simplicity, and minimalism. 5 stars

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Avoid impulsiveness. The best results come from hard work, time, patience, dedication, and desire. If you want to reach your objective, do so in an environment conducive to achieving, not one that is distracting. Your mental and physical attributes will shine through, attracting input from both helpers and disrupters. Choose who you listen to and deal with carefully. 3 stars

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Money talks. Prepare to dedicate your time to the budget and a step-by-step guide to putting your plans in motion if you want funding, financing, or permission to complete your mission. Refrain from spending time on items that promise the impossible. Recognize when someone is taking advantage of you and refrain from sharing private information. 3 stars

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Look at the big picture, the possibilities, and don’t rule something out because you cannot grasp the idea of change. It’s time to grow, to try something new and exciting. Schedule meetings, visit people, or go to places that provide guidance and fulfill your expectations and needs, and at a cost. Take on the task of physical and emotional growth. 3 stars

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You’ll receive mixed emotions from whoever you try to get information from. Do your research online and verify what you discover before you move forward with your plans. Acting in haste will lead to setbacks. It’s better to arrive late and fully prepared than to show up early without a clue regarding what others expect of you. 3 stars

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Size up situations, what’s available, and what’s within your price range. Don’t mix money and emotions. Overspending to win favors will not turn out well. Focus on connections that strive for equality, and you will find it easier to get help achieving your goals while also being supportive. Social events will bring you closer to someone you love. 5 stars

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Put your energy into something you enjoy doing. The time you spend working to perfect something you enjoy will encourage you to rearrange your schedule to include more fun time. Social events, physical activity, and spending time rearranging your space to house something you enjoy doing are in your best interest. Stop dreaming and start doing. 2 stars

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Take a break, rethink your plans, and direct your energy accordingly. Let your intuition, intelligence, and imagination guide you forward. It’s time to explore what moves and motivates you most and to discard what drags you down. Hit the reset button on your life and go with the flow. Let your thoughts turn into action. 4 stars

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Balance your budget and see what’s left. Once you set a budget for something you want, it will shape your outlook and help you move forward with your plans. Refuse to let someone’s ill intentions override your plans. Know when to say no and walk away from people trying to dictate what you can and cannot do. 3 stars

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Set goals that excite you. Whether it’s about money, health, or entertainment, it will give you something to work toward. Travel, educational pursuits, and reuniting with people you enjoy being around will motivate you to take an active part in changing your life and manifesting your dreams. Personal growth, commitment, and romance are on the rise. 3 stars

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Direct your energy and the returns will be self-satisfying. A genuine response or a helping hand will buy you time and give you the leverage you need to reach your objective. Play the straight-and-narrow game with honesty, integrity, and openness to carry you to victory. What you offer others, you’ll get back twofold. 4 stars

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Take a moment to reflect before you act. Emotions can twist your perception, leaving you vulnerable if you act in haste. Look inward, work on self-improvement, instead of trying to change others. Personal growth will attract the attention of those you want to impress.  Love will have a positive impact on your domestic environment and intimate relationship. 2 stars
