THE LAST WORD IN ASTROLOGY BY EUGENIA LAST

     CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Seth MacFarlane, 53; Cary Elwes, 64; James Pickens Jr., 72; Pat Sajak, 80.

     Happy Birthday: Underestimation or overestimation will leave you questioning your future. Emotions are stirred up this year, and relationships will command attention. Weighing the pros and cons of situations that arise and balancing personal and professional demands will help you along your journey. No more living in the past when life awaits you. Demonstrate your will to pursue what and who are meaningful to you. More action will lead to less pressure. Your numbers are 5, 19, 21, 29, 37, 43, 45.

     ARIES (March 21-April 19): Trust your instincts, and do what needs to be done. Invest your time, energy and skills into something that makes you feel good about yourself and the world around you. Express your feelings and intentions to those who matter most to you, and you’ll get the help necessary to make a difference. Love, romance and commitment are highlighted. 3 stars

     TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Be diligent regarding rules, regulations and getting things done on time. Take care of medical and institutional matters in order to avoid backlash from the powers that be. Self-improvement will help alleviate stress and encourage you to maintain better balance between work and play. Letting your frustration show will cost you professionally. Do your best, and you’ll gain respect. 3 stars

     GEMINI (May 21-June 20): A personal change awaits you. Consider your lifestyle and your relationships with those you live with or deal with most often, and mull over the best way to calm situations instead of adding fuel to the fire. Cut your overhead, budget wisely and say no to temptation. Your highest returns will come from helping yourself and others. 3 stars

     CANCER (June 21-July 22): Don’t put your head in the sand. Communication is your ticket forward. Show compassion, resolve and honesty in your dealings, and you’ll break through barriers. Listen, compromise and work alongside others. Conflict breeds contempt; sincerity unifies. Monitor your intake, activities and expenditures. Make peace with yourself, and let the past go. It’s time for new beginnings. 4 stars

     LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Contain your thoughts and emotions. Look inward and consider how to improve yourself and your surroundings. A lifestyle change that adds debt or responsibilities will lead to tough decisions. A physical change may be necessary if you cannot get on the same page as someone in your life. Consider your options carefully before revealing your intentions. 2 stars

     VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Be a leader, not a follower. Observe the changes unfolding, and you’ll find a way to use your time and energy — not your cash, reputation or connections — to make the most out of a situation you cannot control. Rely on experience to calculate your needs and the costs you’ll encounter. Let your actions lead the way, and commitment will follow. 5 stars

     LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Set a budget and challenge yourself to stick to it. Do what you can to lower your overhead and to deep-six small ongoing expenditures you rarely use. Consider partnering with someone you can share expenses with or looking for part-time work to supplement your income. Choose entertainment that is in an affordable snack bracket. 3 stars

     SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Choose your battles wisely. Refuse to let outside influences cause you to overreact. Focus on what’s important to you, and do something you enjoy. Make peace and love your goals and anxiety and chaos the enemies. Let what you do speak for you, and distance yourself from arguing a moot point. 3 stars

     SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Put ego and emotions aside, and you’ll achieve the most. Broaden your sense of awareness, and research. Exploit your talents, skills and experience, and put your best foot forward. A positive change can carry you to a higher level of performance, production and position. Step up; don’t be afraid to let others witness what you can achieve. 3 stars

     CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Live up to your promises. Don’t offer more than you can manufacture. The time to run a tight ship personally and professionally is now. You’ll face scrutiny for any misleading rhetoric. Speak up, listen carefully and do your best to make those who believe in you look good. You’re only as good as your weakest link. 3 stars

     AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Your actions and words matter. If you let your emotions override common sense, you’re likely to say or do something you regret. Take a break, pamper yourself, rethink your objective, and put together a plan that is positive and aimed toward moving forward. Follow your heart and manifest the life you want to live. 2 stars

     PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Emotional spending can turn into a problem. Rethink your financial strategy, and put a budget in place that helps you save more than you spend. Don’t agree to something you can’t afford or give others the impression you have more and can do more than you can. Listen to experts, and take care of your physical and financial well-being. 4 stars

     Birthday Baby: You are appealing, generous and proactive. You are sensitive and aggressive.

     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.
