CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Jose Carreras, Little Richard, Joan Didion, Calvin Trillin, Margaret Cho, Lanny Wadkins, Frankie Muniz, Johnny Rzeznik, Morgan Brittany, Strom Thurmond.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): There may be a subtle shift in the way you approach one ongoing matter. New information could certainly act like a very positive spur. On the romance front though, you’re not likely to be in the mood for subtlety. A somewhat inflexible or stubborn attitude may need to be softened!

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Don’t allow a slightly materialistic angle take over, especially when it comes to emotional and romantic matters. A little consideration on your part may go a long way. Any lingering concerns on the emotional front should be easier to deal with, but only if you don’t flag them up and turn them into a source of minor tension!

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): An intense vibe is likely to assist the flow of communications on most practical and material fronts. That said; while platonic relationships will be reasonably well-aspected, don’t assume that romance will be effortless. Unusually for you there’s a propensity to be a little clumsy in verbal exchanges!

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Very recent planetary shifts are likely to pave the way for some time-consuming dialogue. There is little to be gained from trying to be too original, especially if you’re hoping to impress someone, since errors and misunderstandings in romance will be all the more likely!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): A subtle breakthrough on a potentially sensitive issue is likely, thanks to planetary shifts. This gentle leap forward is more likely to relate to personal matters than practical ones. By the same token, an unexpected discovery before the evening could be connected to your relationships!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): The current planetary line-up could get you re-thinking about something that may have been difficult to fine-tune or moderate. Do listen to your inner voice when it comes to your relationships, though. A minor but incorrect assumption on this front may need to be addressed!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): It’s possible that a rather unpredictable vibe will descend, thanks to very recent planetary shifts. The root-cause of this is likely to be romantically based. The day could sparkle with potential, or plans could fall a little flat. It may depend on your levels of openness with a specific someone!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Incoming information has the capacity to throw you off your track, but in a nice way. Be on the lookout for minor news, since this could have a subtle effect on one key area of your life. As an aside, you could encounter a like-minded figure on a day where the intensity levels will be higher than usual!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): A perceptive vibe will move in, but for most Archers this could develop alongside a slightly fretful undercurrent. The resulting tendency to be a little blinkered could impinge on your relationships in general, and especially on brand new romances. Don’t assume anything!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): A gently smoldering vibe will move in for the day. That said; this vibe isn’t likely to endure in the context of plainly- spoken, down-to-earth interactions. It’s certainly a day where you may need to be a little more romantic in the traditional sense, if you want to set a cozier tone!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): It will be more than possible to secure and strengthen old links and connections by being the first to get in touch. A new angle to an ongoing matter may develop, but in a way that perhaps is a little vague for now. It may be a good idea to give this matter a little more time and consideration!

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): A subtly intense vibe is likely to usher in the right kind of tone for romance, but there is a slight propensity to waste this. There’s a distinct tendency to try and prove a point over something that may be out-of-date or trivial. Regaining a balanced perspective may be harder than it sounds!

FOR THOSE OF US BORN ON THIS DAY: Happy Birthday! The months ahead are likely to start with you becoming a little more earthy and practical in the way that you approach potential problems, which is just as well, because the DIY bug is likely to bite. Friends will offer the support you need when someone starts making too many demands on your precious time in December. Don’t be afraid to put your foot down. After the New Year you could be looking at a new romance, and your social life will gradually start picking up again. By the late spring your social calendar should be full to brimming again.

CELEBRITY GOSSIP: Harrison Ford is busily promoting the latest Star Wars movie, the movie that launched him from being a set carpenter to being a hugely successful actor. There are suggestions in the planets that Harrison has not finished with Star Wars just yet, because more acting in this franchise is on the way!
