IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY
It may be tempting to change course in a major way but the planets warn that could be a very bad idea. You made your plans a while ago and must stick with them to the very end. If you stay the course you will reap the rewards.
Aries (March 21 – April 20):
Now Saturn has begun its retrograde phase you must be careful what you commit to, especially on the work front. It may seem as if obstacles to your ambitions no longer exist but if you believe that you are fooling only yourself.
Taurus (April 21 – May 21):
The more you strive to reach a particular goal the further away it seems to get, so take the hint and stop trying so hard. The message of the stars for the week ahead is that you must have complete trust in the universe to point the way.
Gemini (May 22 – June 21):
Friends and family members may paint a rosy picture of what’s going on in the world but you can see there is a lot that is wrong. Make it your business this week to in some small way make your immediate environment a better place to live.
Cancer (June 22 – July 23):
With both the sun and Jupiter moving through your sign your confidence levels are high but other influences suggest you need to be cautious when it comes to your career. Colleagues and employers may promise you the earth but can they really deliver?
Leo (July 24 – Aug. 23):
It may be tempting to just ignore your problems but while that might bring some short-term relief you will still have to deal with them later on, by which time they may be even worse. Get your act together and deal with them now.
Virgo (Aug. 24 – Sept. 23):
Even if you are certain that a risk of some sort is worth taking you must still make sure you know all the details and all the possible ways it might go wrong. You know from long experience there is no such thing as a sure thing.
Libra (Sept. 24 – Oct. 23):
If you have something important to say then you must speak up, but make sure your words are constructive and steer clear of assigning blame to individual people. The last thing you need is for someone you may one day depend on to hold a grudge.
Scorpio (Oct. 24 – Nov. 22):
As Saturn begins its retrograde phase you must be willing to listen to advice from senior colleagues. What they say may sound overly critical to your ears but if you take their words to heart it could make you a more effective operator.
Sagittarius 23 – Dec. 21):
As one of the zodiac’s fire signs you tend to believe that the solution to any and every problem is to attack it head-on, but that won’t work as well now as it did in the past. Try to be a bit more subtle in your tactics.
Capricorn (Dec. 22 – Jan. 20):
A minor difference of opinion is just that – minor – so don’t let it develop into an all-out war of words. What you may need to remind yourself is that not everyone shares your outlook on life, nor is there any reason why they should.
Aquarius (Jan. 21 – Feb. 19):
What looks obvious to you may seem unclear to other people, so don’t be surprised if you get a few blank looks when trying to explain yourself. Be patient and spell it out for them in plain and simple language. They will thank you for it one day.
Pisces (Feb. 20 – Mar. 20):
You need to stop worrying so much about your money situation. Yes, of course, it could be better but getting yourself into a tizzy over it won’t help in the slightest. The first step back to financial health is to stop buying stuff you don’t need.
