THE LAST WORD IN ASTROLOGY BY EUGENIA LAST
CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Shani Davis, 44; Debi Mazar, 62; John Slattery, 64; Dawnn Lewis, 65.
Happy Birthday: You may relish something new and exciting, but not all change is good. Carefully go through the process of elimination before you make final decisions. How well you do depends on whether you can unravel the process from beginning to end. When in doubt, take a pass and redirect your efforts to people, places and pastimes that bring you joy. A dose of happiness will help you recognize what’s best for you. Your numbers are 6, 14, 20, 29, 38, 41, 47.
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Avoid making decisions or wastefully spending when under emotional duress. Your highest returns will come from working hard, having discipline and finishing what you start. Leave nothing to chance or up to someone you cannot trust to complete the mission. Time and money matter and require attention to avoid loss. Job interviews are favored. 3 stars
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Gravitate toward people who bring out the best in you. A change to how you manage your personal finances will help lower stress and add to your confidence and security. Knowing what to salvage and what to discard will be what helps you enhance your lifestyle and overhead. Shake off bad habits and people who contribute to them. 5 stars
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Change is overrated. Keep a low profile, focus on completion and refuse to let anyone lure you into an emotionally complicated conversation. Let your actions speak for you and your heart lead the way. Kindness and consideration will make it difficult for someone trying to take advantage of you to follow through. Having self-discipline will result in upgrades. 4 stars
CANCER (June 21-July 22): If you are honest with yourself and others, you’ll avoid taking on other people’s problems. Offer suggestions and a kind word, not hands-on help or promises you won’t be able to deliver. If you take care of matters concerning institutions, government agencies and financial situations that require discipline and your undivided attention, you’ll avoid repercussions and anxiety. 3 stars
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Making financial decisions, handling emotions and dealing with associates will be dicey. Don’t make or agree to changes without consideration of the potential pitfalls. Overspending or committing to something prematurely will put you in an awkward position. Be precise regarding what you can contribute. Living up to the expectations others have of you is essential. Don’t brag. 3 stars
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Set high standards, and don’t deviate from the path you choose. Don’t let what others do lead you astray or cost you your reputation. Align yourself with people who have as much to offer as you do, and collaborate on an understanding that offers everyone the freedom to do as they please without interference. 3 stars
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Change only what’s necessary and reasonable. Do your research, set a budget and find the right people if you need help. It’s better to play it safe than to have regrets. Putting more time and effort into preparation will end up saving you money. Personal growth, management and tolerance will be your saving graces. Avoid laziness. 3 stars
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Rethink your way forward. Consider what you enjoy doing most, and elaborate on how you can use these skills, experience and knowledge to earn a living. Focus on learning and expanding your vision to meet the demands that offer mental, physical or emotional stimulation. Make your future your priority. Refuse to let someone lead you down the wrong path. 4 stars
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Your emotions and aspirations aren’t likely to mix well. Don’t lose out because you can’t decide what’s next. Shake things up, consider what serves the greatest purpose and do whatever it takes to appease your soul. Stick close to home, and take better care of your health, wealth and emotional well-being. Update your look and attitude. 2 stars
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Take a moment to gather your thoughts and consider your financial position or any chronic medical concerns you have. What you discover will help you put pressure on the right people or organizations to resolve any concerns you have. If you take better care of yourself, you’ll gain momentum and the respect of onlookers. Have faith in your abilities. 5 stars
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Pay attention to your relationships with loved ones and those who can influence whether or not you excel. Getting along with others is essential, and putting differences aside will benefit everyone. If you show faith in unity and diversification, you’ll win favors and have a chance to turn your aspirations into something tangible. Explore and expose your talents. 3 stars
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Surround yourself with the people and possessions that put your mind at ease and that encourage you to develop and pursue what you enjoy doing most. Refuse to let the changes others make stand in your way. Step away from situations that are volatile or lower your self-esteem. Put your energy into self-improvement, not conflicts of interest. 3 stars
