HOROSCOPES IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY

A more positive attitude to life in general and to people in particular will yield enormous dividends over the coming year. Every time you indulge in doubt you rob yourself of some of your energy, so trust yourself and trust the universe to guide you.

ARIES (March 21 – April 20):

If you find it hard getting your message across to other people today all you can do is wait for the cosmic picture to change in your favor. Pluto’s influence means that friends and work colleagues are in no mood to be either coerced or cajoled.

TAURUS (April 21 – May 21):

If your sixth sense tells you that something is going on behind the scenes on the work front you would be wise to heed it and not make any moves that might turn others against you. Keep a low profile so you can pass under the radar.

GEMINI (May 22 – June 21):

Although something you once had high hopes for seems to have fizzled out there will be new opportunities coming your way very soon. The world is changing at such an alarming rate that there is no point having just one aim and trying to stick to it.

CANCER (June 22 – July 23):

Although Venus moves into the most adventurous area of your chart today you would be wise not to make any sudden moves. Friends and family members are a little sensitive at the moment and could get spooked if you appear to be moving too fast.

LEO (July 24 – Aug. 23):

You don’t have to ask a loved one’s permission to change direction but if you clue them into your plans ahead of time they will be less likely to stand in your way. Take them into your confidence – tell them it’s a big secret for their ears alone.

VIRGO (Aug. 24 – Sept. 23):

If you don’t want to attend some kind of social event today then make your excuses and stay at home. Mars in the most sensitive area of your chart means it’s okay to be reluctant to show your face when you don’t feel at your best.

LIBRA (Sept. 24 – Oct. 23):

The most important thing today is that you stay calm whatever may be happening in the world at large. Today’s Mars-Pluto link means it is likely to kick off in a big way in one direction or the other, so promise yourself you won’t get involved.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24 – Nov. 22):

The more others say you have overextended yourself and will make a mess of what you are doing the more determined you will be to prove them wrong. When a Scorpio wants something enough they move heaven and earth to make sure they get it!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 – Dec. 21):

The planets warn that what you see at the moment is only a small part of the bigger picture, so hold off making changes and wait for a time when your vision is clearer. Just because you can act does not mean you are obliged to do so.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 – Jan. 20):

If you need assistance from a friend or relative then ask for it, but be aware that there will be a price to pay if they choose to help you out. Find out what that price is before making any kind of agreement or commitment. Can you afford it?

AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 – Feb. 19):

It may seem as if someone knows what they are talking about but can you be sure? Most likely a lot of what they are saying is being made up as they go along, so it would be wise not to trust them too far, or even at all.

PISCES (Feb. 20 – Mar. 20):

You are no stranger to hard work but why push yourself when you don’t have to? The more distant a goal appears to be the more measured your approach should be and Venus in your sign will help you pace yourself sensibly over the next few weeks.
