     CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Keke Palmer, 33; Macaulay Culkin, 46; Chris Pine, 46; Melissa McCarthy, 56.

     Happy Birthday: Temptation is the enemy this year. Pick and choose how you use your energy, resources and time. Think big, but keep things simple and small. Eliminating what’s unnecessary will help you reach your goal and offer a path forward. Peace of mind is worth more than trying to keep up because you set unrealistic goals. Hard work and melding the old with the new will carry you through tough times. Your numbers are 5, 13, 21, 24, 32, 37, 42.

     ARIES (March 21-April 19): Deal with doubt directly. Ask questions, then examine the information you discover carefully. Knowing what you are up against is half the battle when you are in a play-to-win situation. Having an open mind and reaching out to those who have already achieved your goals will help you make wise decisions and eliminate mistakes. A partnership and commitment look auspicious. 4 stars

     TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Say no to decadence. Social or networking events will lead to temptation. Use your intelligence, remind yourself what your goal is and stick to the plans that lead to your desired results. Generate enough energy to cultivate the scenario that makes you feel comfortable and in control. Giving someone the upper hand will cost you. 2 stars

     GEMINI (May 21-June 20): An invitation or offer will have strings attached. Ask questions. Get what you want in writing — or be adamant and take a pass. How you conduct yourself verbally and what you do socially will have an impact on how well you are received and what you get in return. Rely on your intuition and read the room. 5 stars

     CANCER (June 21-July 22): Direct your energy. Read, learn and pay attention to detail. If you desire change, work toward your goal behind closed doors.

Large events will limit or restrict you from reaching your objective. 3 stars

     LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Put a schedule together and forge ahead. You can accomplish plenty if you are organized and eager to put unfinished business to rest.

Love and romance are in the stars. 3 stars

     VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Hold on to what you’ve got. Say no to climbing aboard someone else’s train wreck. You owe yourself the time and patience to pursue the goals you set. Take action to make your dreams come true and to incorporate what’s meaningful to you into your everyday routine. Choose the journey that promotes healthy living, and rewards will follow. 3 stars

     LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Make plans to do something you enjoy. A social event will lead to people of interest, potential partners and emotional balancing.

If you let your charm lead the way, opportunity will follow. Romance is favored. 5 stars

     SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Watch and wait. What you discover by monitoring how others react to situations will be a good indicator of your next move. Don’t feel the need to act prematurely because someone else does. An energy boost will tempt you to try something that may be detrimental to your health. Travel and communication are highlighted but subject to risk. 2 stars

     SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Maintain stability, and refuse to take on other people’s problems. If you want to make a change or move, it should be to increase your income or to handle your money and investments more efficiently. Home improvements that cut your costs, along with a healthy lifestyle to deter additional medical expenses, will put your mind at ease. 4 stars

     CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Fact-check information you receive before you proceed with your plans. It’s likely something will get lost in translation if you aren’t diligent regarding the cost, quantity, quality and fulfillment obligations. Get any changes in writing to ensure you aren’t shorted or sent something that doesn’t live up to your expectations. Take care of matters personally. 3 stars

     AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Tackle money and medical matters first. Once you have a handle on your budget — and if you have the energy to follow your dreams — you’ll find it easier to set your plans in motion.

     GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Take time to rearrange your space to suit your needs. If you start something new without proper preparation, you’ll end up wasting valuable time.
