CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Christy Carlson Romano, 25; Chester Bennington, 33; Holly Hunter, 51; Spike Lee, 52

Happy Birthday: There is a lot you can do to develop a skill you have this year. Present what you have but do not give it away. You must barter to win the spot with which you will be most comfortable. Managing your life financially and emotionally will be your most important job this year. Your numbers are 1, 14, 18, 23, 29, 37, 41

ARIES (March 21-April 19): You've got too much going on, so you are likely to become stressed out and make professional and personal mistakes. Don't make any changes to the way things are being done until you have a positive go-ahead from the people with whom you are associated. 2 stars

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Consider taking a trip for both business and personal concerns. You stand to learn a lot on both fronts by spending time with people who can share thoughts, plans and inspiration. A new partnership will help balance your weaknesses. 5 stars

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You can charm your way in and out of any situation but don't exaggerate or make promises you can't keep. Be straight about what you can and cannot do if you want to gain respect. Focus on the goal and follow through. 3 stars

CANCER (June 21-July 22): It's important that you send a message to everyone regarding the direction you choose to take. Consider a trip that combines research, business and some leisure time. 3 stars

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Communication will be the key to getting what you want. Set up meetings and show that you are willing to listen as well as contribute. Negotiate fairly so that everyone feels good about the deal. 3 stars

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You'll be convincing but, before you decide to push to have things your way, be sure you are doing the right thing. Put a little hard labor in at home and make your place more comfortable and user-friendly. Plan to go out and have some fun. 5 stars

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Don't give away all your secrets or someone will meddle in your affairs. Get involved in a creative activity or take a short trip to remind you of your past. It may be time to hook up with someone who always inspired you or made you laugh. 2 stars

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Make plans that will surprise the one you love. Don't let your own uncertainties stop you from going the distance. A social gathering will give you the chance to show off something you've been working on. 4 stars

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Keep a low profile and work from home. Mixed feelings about someone you have been attached to in the past may cause you to question your current relationships. Don't lead anyone on or you will end up in an awkward position. 3 stars

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): A romantic relationship may be on shaky ground if you haven't spent enough time together. Don't get involved in a risky venture just because you want to support someone's project. Just offer your advice. 3 stars

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Don't get involved with anyone who may lead you back to old habits. Confusion will set in if you aren't straight about the way you feel and your new direction. Talk to someone you trust. 3 stars

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Don't be afraid to ask for help or delegate work. You have to show that you are a leader if you want to be treated like one. Talks will bring about a positive change. 4 stars

Birthday Baby: You are sensitive, caring and speak with unfiltered truth. You are a seeker of reform, justice and fair play. You are strong, practical and competitive.
