CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Jeff Hardy, 31; Chris Tucker, 36; Richard Gere, 59; Van Morrison, 63

Happy Birthday: You will be torn between being practical and impractical. Slow down and let your cautious side be your guide. Too much, too soon will be your demise. Good things can result if you are reliable and surround yourself with people who are just as accountable. This is a year of doing what you say before you say what you do. Your numbers are 8, 10, 23, 26, 38, 42

ARIES (March 21-April 19): You may find yourself all wrapped up in a situation that you cannot change. Try not to let your emotions run away with you, causing a small issue to become something unmanageable. Don't get angry or lash out. 3 stars

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You can make some personal changes or at least alter your surroundings to get a different take on whatever situation you are facing. A sense of accomplishment should be yours for your hard work and staying power. Celebrate. 5 stars

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You hold all the cards, so don't give in to anyone younger or older trying to put one over on you. Believe in yourself. Love is mounting and a question of commitment or taking a relationship to the next level should become quite clear. 2 stars

CANCER (June 21-July 22): You'll be caught in the middle if you meddle in the affairs of others. Be a listener not a contributor. You'll be emotional but, if you can keep a lid on it and comfort rather than preach, you will win in the end. 4 stars

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You can multitask to your heart's content and spin things in your favor. There may be a power struggle with someone who challenges you but, as long as you don't waffle, you will have no trouble defeating whatever or whoever comes your way. 3 stars

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Keep a handle on what everyone is doing but don't interfere. Personal purchases will turn out to be a disappointment and a costly venture. Don't be pushed into spending on something you don't need. 3 stars

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You, someone you are close to or both of you will be out of control. Take a timeout and spend the day relaxing at home where you won't be tempted by others to get involved in something you shouldn't. 3 stars

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Tie up loose ends in preparation for what's to come. Change is heading your way. Venture to get in touch with people out of your jurisdiction or geographical area. You'll be surprised by the response. 4 stars

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): This is no time to let up on what you are trying to accomplish. Give your all. If you don't stay ahead today, you will never get caught up. Someone will play emotional games with you. 2 stars

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Look beyond what others are doing. If you are tempted to get involved in someone else's project, do the math and see if it's profitable. Do your own research and you'll realize you'll have more going for you by doing your own thing. 5 stars

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You can push through a deal, purchase something substantial or invest in yourself and your future. Money issues will arise but someone who owes you will pay back handsomely -- or you will find, come into or be given a gift you didn't expect. 3 stars

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Agree to meet halfway and you will accomplish more. Change is required within your partnerships in order for them to continue to work satisfactorily. Less can be more. 3 stars

Birthday Baby: You are hard to read: One minute you are straightforward, practical and precise and the next you are creative, unique and trying the impossible. You are a great friend and colleague.
