CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Nathalie Kelley, 28; Jessica Biel, 31; Julie Bowen, 43; Jackie Joyner-Kersee, 51. Happy Birthday: Everything depends on the way you follow through. Stick to your plans, but explore the creative side to whatever you pursue. It’s keeping what you do and the way you think fresh that will draw attention and the support to reach your goals. Contracts will play in your favor and improve your life. Your numbers are 7, 13, 22, 27, 34, 39, 45. ARIES (March 21-April 19): Sulking behind closed doors won’t solve your prob- lems. You have to open up discussions that will allow you to show your concerns and fight for a turn to follow a path that is going to help you get ahead, not someone else. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Sharing will bring you the best results. A partner- ship that has potential will develop with someone you meet while helping others. Love is highlighted and short trips or attending a community event will lead to romance. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Confusion is apparent. Withholding information will lead to a lack of communication in which nothing can be resolved. Consider who you are hurting by keeping pertinent information a secret. Wager the pros and cons and make a move. CANCER (June 21-July 22): You’ll impress everyone with your memory, knowledge and experience. Traveling to a unique destination or getting involved in an activity or event that is unusual will spark your interest in someone who will enrich your love life. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Problems getting information straight or discussing joint ventures are apparent. Before you sign documents or give the go-ahead to some- one who influences your life, you are best to double-check the consequences that might develop. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Discuss your plans and share your thoughts with someone you think highly of, and you will come up with a feasible way to proceed. Much can be accomplished in your personal life with a little collaboration and cooperation. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Consider your original plan and what your goals were when you were growing up. Focus on what you have to do to alter your life and turn your dream into a reality. Change is heading your way. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Show how serious you are by taking charge and let- ting whomever you are dealing with know where you stand. Take on a physical challenge, and you will impress others and experience success. Love is in the stars.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Keep your eyes and ears open. Not everyone will be truthful regarding motives and intentions. Protect your heart, your assets and your emotional wellness. Dishonesty, secrets and disillusionment are present and can lead to personal and financial loss. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Take a different approach to an old idea. Engaging in activities that you used to do will bring you in contact with old familiar places and people. A past partner will help you remember the simple pleasures in life.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You will learn from observation. Spend quality time with people you feel share your likes, dislikes and future goals. Picking up new skills or applying for something that will allow you to raise your living standard should be your intent. PISCES (Feb. 19- March 20): Embrace opportunities to try something new. Love will lead to commitment and a chance to stabilize your life mentally, emotionally and financially. Learn from past mistakes and take care of legal concerns.

Birthday Baby: You are versatile, unique and imaginative. You are loving and kind.
