Your daily horoscope: March 26

IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY

The way you choose to look at the world is the way the world will appear to you, so choose to be positive and loving and happy and that is what will be reflected back in your direction, not just this year but for many years to come.

ARIES (March 21 – April 20):

Keep your wits about you today and don’t let anyone persuade you to do things that, deep down, you know are unlikely to be in your best interests. It’s good of you to want to help people but helping yourself must always be your first priority.

TAURUS (April 21 – May 21):

You will meet some rather strange people over the next 48 hours, the kind of people you might not always take to – but on this occasion they will delight you. Be aware that what starts out as a simple friendship could quickly develop into something deeper.

GEMINI (May 22 – June 21):

You need to break free of routines and habits that have been holding you back from reaching your potential. Above all you need to overcome your tendency to focus on details to the exclusion of everything else. It’s the bigger picture that matters, today and every day.

CANCER (June 22 – July 23):

Do whatever takes your fancy today, then do it some more tomorrow. As values planet Venus moves into the most adventurous area of your chart you have nothing to lose and lots to gain by expanding the limits of what you believe is permissible.

LEO (July 24 – Aug. 23):

A family or financial matter that has been causing you sleepless nights will take a turn for the better over the next few days. It may not be entirely resolved but you will realize quite quickly that it’s not nearly as important as you thought it was.

VIRGO (Aug. 24 – Sept. 23):

Wherever you go and whatever you do over the next two or three days you will meet people who inspire you to improve your life. One of those people could become a very close friend and together you will do things you could not have done on your own.

LIBRA (Sept. 24 – Oct. 23):

Something will throw you off your stride today and to begin with you won’t be happy about it, but as the situation develops you will realize that it might actually be a positive thing. Ultimately all change is good change, so go with the flow.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24 – Nov. 22):

With Venus moving into the most dynamic area of your chart today, and linking with changes planet Uranus tomorrow, this is the perfect time to follow through on plans you have been working on for quite some time. Don’t let anyone hold you back.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 – Dec. 21):

A friend or relative will do something that shocks you today but if you are smart you won’t make an issue of it. It’s not as if you have never done anything shocking yourself Sag, so let them get on with it and resist the urge to be judgmental.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 – Jan. 20):

You seem to be flavour of the month wherever you go at the moment and long may it continue. Just be aware that some of the people who are flattering you may not have your best interests at heart. Don’t let their praise warp your view of reality.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 – Feb. 19):

Some people will need convincing that what you are planning is going to work but some people don’t matter – the only thing that counts is that you believe in it. Get started on it immediately and don’t worry if you have to start on your own.

PISCES (Feb. 20 – Mar. 20):

Venus, planet of love and harmony, moves into your birth sign today and even if certain issues have made you a bit hot under the collar of late it’s unlikely you will want to pursue them any further. Your priorities now should be on two things only; loving and laughing.
