HOROSCOPES

ARIES (March 21 – April 20):

IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY:

TAURUS (April 21 – May 21):

The influence of Uranus on your birthday will encourage you to dream the impossible dream. In fact the more outrageous your vision the more likely it is to become a part of your reality. Why dread the future when you can so easily shape it?

GEMINI (May 22 – June 21):

The negative thoughts that have been holding you back will disappear as if by magic this weekend. Things that previously seemed like obstacles to your progress will now be seen as stepping stones to success. Life is good and getting better by the minute.

CANCER (June 22 – July 23):

If you approach the weekend free of limiting beliefs the results will be spectacular. The union of the sun and Uranus in your sign is a cosmic promise that some really good things are coming your way. Be ready to take full advantage of them.

LEO (July 24 – Aug. 23):

The more you try to move in a certain direction the more something you cannot see or feel or understand seems to get in your way. Maybe you should take the hint and stop trying so hard. Sit back, relax and let events carry you along.

VIRGO (Aug. 24 – Sept. 23):

What occurs over the next 48 hours may throw your plans into disarray but if you could stand back and see the bigger picture you would realize that is actually a very good thing. In a strange way a little bit of disruption will be hugely liberating.

LIBRA (Sept. 24 – Oct. 23):

What is so far outside your experience and your comfort zone that you know there is no point going after it? Well that is what you should now be aiming for. Changes planet Uranus will make all things possible for you this weekend, so make it happen.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24 – Nov. 22):

Because Virgo is such a practical sign you tend to believe that everything you do in life must have a purpose, but the message of the stars this weekend is that you will accomplish more if you don’t make plans. You will have more fun as well.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 – Dec. 21):

Don’t worry too much if the people you have to deal with this weekend act in ways that seem foolish or irrational. It’s likely that from their point of view you look equally silly, so live and let live and expect the best rather than the worst.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 – Jan. 20):

You may be a creature of habit but every now and then you go right the other way and do something shocking. You don’t have to be reckless over the next 48 hours but you do have to remind people that you should never be taken for granted.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 – Feb. 19):

The more you are told that something you are working on cannot possibly succeed the more you will go out of your way to prove the doubters wrong. On the work front especially your ideas will be touched by genius and your reputation will soar.

PISCES (Feb. 20 – Mar. 20):

If your rivals want to show off this weekend that’s up to them but you won’t feel the need to play to the crowd. You really don’t care what other people think of your aims and ambitions, so why risk making a spectacle of yourself?
