CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Wes Anderson, 57; Tim McGraw, 59; Joanna Lumley, 80; Judy Collins, 87.

Happy Birthday: Prepare to go over and above the call of duty. Take the path that hinges on what matters to you most. A balance between fulfillment and aspiration will help you master the art of completion and grow the reputation that ensures a bright future. Push you forward with enthusiasm and desire to compete with yourself, and victory will be yours. Opportunity knocks, and your future depends on the door you open next. Your numbers are 3, 11, 20, 27, 32, 38, 43.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Your words will resonate with someone who shares your beliefs. Keep talking and questioning until you are satisfied that you are making the right choices. Set financial, physical, and emotional boundaries to spare yourself aggravation and avoidable mistakes. Leave nothing to chance and move forward with plenty to look forward to. Financial and personal growth are within reach. 3 stars

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Check your schedule and fill the empty spaces with whatever your heart desires. Taking care of yourself will help relieve stress and prepare you for the upcoming changes you want to implement. A change of location, lifestyle, or relationships looks promising and offers a multitude of tempting offers. It’s time to expand your mind, interests, and plans. 3 stars

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Emotions and ego collide; common sense will keep you out of harm’s way and situations that can spin out of control. Channel energy in personal change, not trying to change others. If you can’t help or offer a kind word, retreat.  Opportunity is apparent; don’t let drama, exaggeration, or taking on too much stifle your chance to advance. 3 stars

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Lighten up, say no to drama, and distance yourself from anyone trying to start a fight. Focus inward, protect your heart and emotional well-being, and surround yourself with supportive friends and associates. Overreacting will lead to trouble. Take care of your responsibilities and finish what you start. Stick to a budget, set boundaries, and avoid hasty decisions. 5 stars

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Mixing business with pleasure requires intuition, time, and patience if you want to avoid unnecessary implications. Trying to force your will or plans on others will meet with opposition. You are best to do, create, and mastermind what you want to achieve alone.  It’s your success that will draw the most and the best outcome and attention. 2 stars

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Let your intuition lead the way and focus more on what you say than how you look. Set boundaries where necessary and start discussions with those who have insight and connections that can help you reach your objective. Beware of anyone trying to coerce you into spending on something you don’t need or buy into a dubious scam. 4 stars

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Approach situations with grace and a set budget. Opportunities are endless, but not all will be equal. Use charm and knowledge, ask questions, and decipher the best fit. Home improvements or a move that offers greater financial or professional flexibility will be in your best interest. A trip, activity, or event will lead to a change of heart. 3 stars

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Open discussions and negotiations are favored if you are willing to meet in the middle. Choose intelligence over force plays. Partnerships, travel, and research will give you the advantage you need to win support and positive feedback. Take a disciplined approach when dealing with your health and well-being. Social events will lead to interesting encounters.  3 stars

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Make a list and proceed. Execute your plans with confidence but stay within budget. Refuse to let anyone pressure you into something you don’t want or can’t afford. Home improvement projects and personal relationships will get a boost. You can take whatever you are immersed in to the next level. Romance is in the stars. 3 stars

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Caution is necessary when dealing with touchy issues. Expect situations to get blown out of proportion and for tempers to escalate more quickly than usual. Bide your time, let the dust settle, assess, and prepare to hit the reset button and to offer compassion and understanding. Being a good listener will buy you time and favors. 4 stars

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Put emotions and ego aside and focus on getting things done. Revisit your long-term plans and do the math. Budget-friendly plans will put your mind at ease and give you a fighting chance to reach your objective. Excess is the enemy, avoid overspending, offering more than you can deliver, and purchases that aren’t within your snack bracket. 2 stars

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Pay attention to your needs. Sign up for the activities that bring you pleasure or stimulate your mind. Refrain from making spontaneous decisions when research and preparation are necessary. It’s more difficult to backtrack than it is to do your due diligence. Choose discipline and moderation over being lazy and indulgent. Recognize and say no to emotional manipulation. 5 stars

Birthday Baby: You are profound, immaculate, and outspoken. You are influential and persevering.

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.
