IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY

HOROSCOPES

ARIES (March 21 – April 20):

There will be a change of emphasis in your affairs this year as you switch from putting work and ambitions ahead of everything else and focus more on family life and personal issues. Your heart matters more than your status or your bank balance.

TAURUS (April 21 – May 21):

Mercury in your sign makes it easy for you to win any kind of debate or argument. Use that ability to persuade people that you alone know what is going on in the world. They will be amazed at how clued in to events you appear to be.

GEMINI (May 22 – June 21):

The only danger now is that you may be expecting too much of yourself. The sun in your sign makes so much possible but that does no mean you should try to do everything. Pace yourself sensibly and, above all, know your limits.

CANCER (June 22 – July 23):

Some people may be difficult to trust but if you want to get things done between now and the weekend you must put your doubts on hold and allow them to assist you. Chances are you will be pleasantly surprised by the honesty of their efforts.

LEO (July 24 – Aug. 23):

You know what you want and you know how to get it but try not to be too pushy today because that could cause problems further down the line. You don’t have to be in a state of conflict all the time. Try some co-operation for a change.

VIRGO (Aug. 24 – Sept. 23):

Plans you had to put on hold a while back can now be restarted. One particular project has the potential to make you some serious money, so focus on that and refuse to give up on it again. Your luck is about to turn in a more positive direction.

LIBRA (Sept. 24 – Oct. 23):

If there is something of a material nature that you desire then go for it today while the cosmic omens are favourable for business and financial matters. It’s not immoral to want to profit from your talents – in fact it would be more immoral not to.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24 – Nov. 22):

If you interact with someone you don’t usually get along with today you may find you have more in common than you expected. Not only that but they could be in a position to help you take care of a problem you cannot resolve on your own.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 – Dec. 21):

Make the phrase “work smarter, not harder” your inspiration today. According to the planets you have reached the point where the more effort you put into what you are working on the less you get back, so take the hint and ease off a bit.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 – Jan. 20):

You rarely find it hard to express yourself and with communications planet Mercury moving through the most dynamic area of your chart the right words will come at just the right time. Don’t say too much though – some things are best kept to yourself.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 – Feb. 19):

If you are less than happy with what has been taking place in your home life then speak up and let loved ones know about it. Most likely they too have their issues but unless you discuss them you won’t be able to resolve anything.

PISCES (Feb. 20 – Mar. 20):

Your mind may be full of great ideas, any number of which can make your fortune, but for the time being you would be wise not to make any of them public. If you share what you know it could be your rivals who benefit the most.
