HOROSCOPES IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY

There will be times this year when events appear to conspire against you but in reality it is just the universe giving you hints that you need to try harder to reach those life goals you are supposed to be striving for. They are still very much within reach.

ARIES (March 21 – April 20):

You may think that bending the truth a little in pursuit of an ideal is no big thing but someone in a position of power could take it as an indication that you are not to be trusted. Honesty is always the best policy, whatever the consequences.

TAURUS (April 21 – May 21):

You may want your life to stay exactly as it is but deep down you know that isn’t going to happen. There are some major changes taking place in the world around you at the moment and some of those changes are going to affect you.

GEMINI (May 22 – June 21):

Keep telling yourself that your current situation is nowhere as bad as some people say it is, and keep doing those things you know to be right. No matter what might occur over the next few days it will work itself out for the best in the end.

CANCER (June 22 – July 23):

Don’t get angry or upset if a friend refuses to support what you are proposing to do. Just because it is the right thing for you does not mean it will be the right thing for them and they have every right to follow a different path.

LEO (July 24 – Aug. 23):

If you need to get over some sort of emotional upset the best way is to throw yourself into your work so your mind is kept occupied. Come this time tomorrow you will no longer see it as a problem, just a memory that can be allowed to fade.

VIRGO (Aug. 24 – Sept. 23):

The pace of change in the world is such that if you don’t try to keep up with it you will soon get left far behind. What occurs today will encourage you to get to grips with a new theory or technique that will soon become everyday knowledge.

Missed one of your horoscopes? Here are the most recent days’ forecasts:

Everything seems to be going your way at the moment but there is one cloud on the horizon in that someone you are close to emotionally is feeling low and it worries you a lot. Find out why they seem so vulnerable, then find ways to help them.

LIBRA (Sept. 24 – Oct. 23):

What you see and hear on your travels today will encourage you to ditch the limitations you have imposed on yourself so you can raise your sights and do something magical. You don’t know what you are capable of until you try – so try!

SCORPIO (Oct. 24 – Nov. 22):

Money may not be everything but you do need to take into account how much a new hobby or project is likely to cost you. Or do you rake in so much cash that you can afford to throw it around like confetti? Probably not.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 – Dec. 21):

A situation that looks bleak today will look a lot better by the end of the week, so try not to dwell on it and focus instead on activities that bring a smile to your face. Reject negativity and adopt a more positive outlook on life.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 – Jan. 20):

The harder you try to bring happiness into the life of a friend or loved one the more they seem to wallow in despair. Take the hint and let them get on with it. They will come to their senses eventually, when the time is right.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 – Feb. 19):

Your outlook on life may make perfect sense to you but others just don’t seem to “get it”, most likely because they are unable to elevate their thinking to a level where ideas of “good” and “bad” don’t have to be opposites. It’s their loss.
