THE LAST WORD IN ASTROLOGY BY EUGENIA LAST CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Anne Hathaway, 43; Ryan Gosling, 45; Megan Mullally, 67; Neil Young, 80. Happy Birthday: Snap decisions will lead to trouble. Keep your thoughts private until you have time to think and do the math. Concentrate on preparation, what you can achieve and an innovative way to reach your destination. Life is a work in progress, and trying to rush through it will only slow you down. Take time to smell the roses, grasp whatever you face in real time and aim for excellence, not speed. Your numbers are 2, 13, 20, 27, 31, 38, 42. ARIES (March 21-April 19): Put your energy where it counts. How hard you work, take care of your responsibilities and outperform anyone who tries to compete with you will depend on your ability to be direct, put your emotions aside and live up to your promises. Choose bold words and stick to the truth, and do both with a smile and a friendly demeanor. 5 stars TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Share your feelings, and you’ll avoid confusion.

Set a tone that is inviting and helps you get the response and support necessary to achieve your goal. 2 stars GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Changes you make due to emotional influences will slow you down.

Romance, along with personal growth and self-improvement, is favored. 4 stars LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Use words, not actions, and you’ll make progress.

A budget-friendly plan and an innovative approach will help you maintain credibility. 3 stars LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Be careful who you share your ideas with.
