HOROSCOPES

IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY

ARIES (March 21 – April 20):

You can put your own needs first this year and you can also help friends and family members reach their objectives, it doesn’t have to be one thing or the other. Your more important aims are likely to overlap, so be smart and assist one another.

TAURUS (April 21 – May 21):

If something goes wrong today and you are at least partly to blame just hold up your hand and admit that you made an error of judgment. No one expects you to be perfect and friends and colleagues will respect your honesty.

GEMINI (May 22 – June 21):

The harder you try to figure something out the more it baffles you, so quit trying to make sense of it and pretend that it is of no significance. The best way to get at the truth is to let it come to you when the time is right.

CANCER (June 22 – July 23):

You won’t be able to avoid an unpleasant situation today, so prepare yourself mentally and emotionally to deal with it as best you can. Others will be impressed by your ability to carry on as if nothing can surprise or shock you.

LEO (July 24 – Aug. 23):

If you try to hide your feelings today you are sure to fail, so be honest about what is upsetting you and let others help you sort it out. It doesn’t have to be you against the world, not with so many good people eager to assist you.

VIRGO (Aug. 24 – Sept. 23):

You may not see eye-to-eye with someone in a position of authority today but don’t make a big thing of it. Do whatever it is they ask of you and make the best possible job of it. It will be their fault if it goes wrong, not yours.

LIBRA (Sept. 24 – Oct. 23):

If you can’t put your finger on what is wrong with your world at the moment it may be because you are trying too hard. Focus on something less challenging and let your subconscious mind work it out for you. The answer is actually quite simple.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24 – Nov. 22):

The more you try to make sure nothing goes wrong today the more likely it is that something will, so stop putting so much pressure on yourself and react to events rather than try to dictate them. Life is supposed to be fun, so smile more and worry less.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 – Dec. 21):

You have never been the sort to approach a task in a slapdash manner but not everyone is as disciplined as you and a colleague will try to persuade you to lower your standards today. Don’t do it. Get a new partner or work on your own.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 – Jan. 20):

You may think you can muddle through and still make a success of what you are working on but the planets warn that won’t happen. You need a road map that will take you from where you are now to your destination, so draw one up quickly.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 – Feb. 19):

A rival may have more power than you but they don’t have your brains, so think ahead and work out how you can outwit them, then apply that knowledge to what you are doing. Stay calm, think clearly and refuse to be intimidated.

PISCES (Feb. 20 – Mar. 20):

If a friend or loved one is having difficulties getting their message across you must make it your business to assist them. According to the planets they have something important to say, something you can profit from, so help them find the words.
