HOROSCOPES IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY

There are two hugely fortunate cosmic events on your birthday this year, so set your sights high and believe you can fly. Start each day with a positive attitude and expect nothing but remarkable things to occur – and remarkably they will.

ARIES (March 21 – April 20):

So long as you know your own mind there is nothing you cannot do today. You have never been the sort to doubt yourself and now you are so chock full of confidence you can’t help but make your mark on the world. Make it a big one.

TAURUS (April 21 – May 21):

If you feel that fate is pointing you in a new direction then be smart and let it guide you all the way. You may be inclined to show your stubborn side and stick with your current path but deep down you know it is time for a change.

GEMINI (May 22 – June 21):

Jupiter, planet of good fortune, moves in your favour today, so don’t be afraid to take chances and do be on the lookout for opportunities to shine. If you don’t make an effort now you will look back later on and wish you had been more adventurous.

CANCER (June 22 – July 23):

As Venus moves into the career area of your chart today you should be feeling quietly confident about your prospects. You don’t have to do anything special but you do have to be open to new ways of getting your name up in lights.

LEO (July 24 – Aug. 23):

You may have strong opinions about what a friend or loved one has been up to but don’t let it consume you to such an extent that it diverts you away from more pressing issues. Ultimately it’s their business so let them get on with it.

VIRGO (Aug. 24 – Sept. 23):

You will know exactly what to say to make a good impression on people you work and do business with. Employers and colleagues will be excited by your way with words and the fact that you are bullish about your long-term prospects.

LIBRA (Sept. 24 – Oct. 23):

What you say today will be important but how you say it will determine if your words have the desired effect. If you come across as harsh and unforgiving others may conclude that you want them to fail and that isn’t the case at all.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24 – Nov. 22):

The message of the stars today is that you cannot afford to limit your thinking to what you already know. If you insist on following the same old methods and routines then you will inevitably get the same old results. Shake things up a bit.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 – Dec. 21):

As Venus moves into the most creative area of your chart you can easily make the kind of changes that previously seemed to be beyond your reach. Don’t make changes for the sake of it though, focus only on areas that matter to you personally.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 – Jan. 20):

What others demand of you today may seem strange, even unreasonable, but if you go along with their plans they will benefit you in unexpected ways. Also, letting others make the decisions will give you the chance to take a mental breather.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 – Feb. 19):

With both Jupiter and Venus moving in your favour today you will exude an air of quiet confidence, which in turn will encourage others to put their trust in you. This is a hugely dynamic phase for you, so do something exceptional.

PISCES (Feb. 20 – Mar. 20):

The more you try to make your life perfect the more you will notice all those little things that keep going wrong and the more frustrated you will become. Instead, accept your existence for what it is and embrace those imperfections that make you special.
