THE LAST WORD IN ASTROLOGY BY EUGENIA LAST

            CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: James Corden, 47; Kristen Wiig, 52; Ty Burrell, 58.

Happy Birthday: Let your colorful nature shine through. The more entertaining you are, the more attention you’ll receive. Stand up for your rights and be the one to make a difference in your group. Focus on unique ideas and using your skills, tools, and gifts to implement the changes vital to your success. Persistence, persuasion, and participation will get you where you want to go. Give your all, and receive high returns. Your numbers are 4, 11, 18, 22, 31, 39, 45.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Crank it up and make things happen. Plan your actions and execute them with force and precision. If you plan to make a difference, don’t hold back. Indulgent activity won’t bring about positive change, but intelligent acts of both kindness and consideration of others will help you reach your destination without malice. 5 stars

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Monitor carefully. If you let situations, conversations, or your emotions spin out of control, it won’t be easy to press replay and start over. Instead of testing others, focus on yourself, your needs, and what’s necessary to achieve the lifestyle you desire. Personal growth is your best option, not trying to change others. 2 stars

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Avoid detours. Connect the dots, go directly from point A to point B, and maximize your chance to get the most out of your day and the experience you desire. Something someone says will make a difference in how you think, what you do, and the steps you take to enhance your life. 4 stars

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Put your energy into something creative. What you discover will help you explore new possibilities at home or in the workplace. Distance yourself from people and situations that trigger your emotions. Simplicity, discipline, and common sense will help you be decisive and pennywise. Change begins within and jumpstarts your ambition. 3 stars

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Refuse to contribute to someone else’s glory. It’s up to you to take care of yourself and achieve the gains that best suit your needs. Step into the spotlight, and you’ll gain ground and a following that’ll help you reach your pinnacle. Speak directly, enforce your plans, and don’t stop until the results meet your expectations. 3 stars

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Only change what’s necessary. Take a backseat and observe what’s unfolding around you, and you’ll gain insight into what’s needed to maintain your course of action and get positive results. Refuse to let anyone talk you into something you don’t need or want. Take control instead of being controlled. Personal gain and growth are apparent. 3 stars

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Participate, be the one to bring about change and make a difference. Use your intelligence and voice to plant seeds and gain support. A passionate approach to life, love, and happiness will encourage you to recognize and let go of what isn’t working for you and to embrace what offers positive results. 4 stars

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Emotions will fluctuate as you react to what’s happening around you. Listen, question, and act on facts and what will help you achieve your goal. Update your appearance and socialize, and you’ll attract new friends or lovers. A creative project will bring out the best in you. Your discipline and hard work will pay off unexpectedly. 2 stars

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Don’t skip a beat; learn as you go, and conquer whatever comes your way. Use your energy in positive ways and turn your back on negative influences, rhetoric, or nonsense. Change comes from within. Be observant and make moves that accommodate your needs. Think creatively, make domestic improvements, and follow your heart. 5 stars

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Take time out to do something for yourself. Pampering yourself, establishing a schedule that promotes a healthy lifestyle, and engaging in activities and events that stimulate your mind and encourage you to enhance your skills, knowledge, and interests will change your perspective on the meaning of life. Avoid impulsive reactions. Choose peace over discord. 3 stars

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Pay attention to how you look, feel, and present yourself to others. A commanding demeanor will draw attention and position you for advancement. Change is within reach, and pushing for what you want will play in your favor. Don’t hold back when you have so much to gain by sharing your thoughts. 3 stars

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Pay attention to an emotional rollercoaster ride that transpires as you engage in discussions that warrant choices, compromise, and serious decisions. Anger is never the answer; however, a show of appreciation and a willingness to compromise will bring you closer to your goal. Preparation will be your ticket to success. 3 stars

Birthday Baby: You are compassionate, informative, and gracious. You are proactive and accommodating.

            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.
