IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY

A solar eclipse in your sign on your birthday will make you nigh on invincible over the coming year, while the influence of Mercury means your mind will give birth to some brilliant ideas. The word “genius” is often overused, but not in your case.

ARIES (March 21 – April 20):

Set your sights high today and then make it your one and only priority to go even higher. Today’s solar eclipse will give you the power to create something of lasting value, something that could see your name up in lights for a very long time.

TAURUS (April 21 – May 21):

The message of the stars today is that you should stop pushing yourself so hard and allow workmates and family members to do more for you. Don’t be so proud that you won’t accept help from other people － because that’s what friends are for.

GEMINI (May 22 – June 21):

If the pace of life has been a bit slow in recent weeks then what occurs today and tomorrow will cheer you up no end. A solar eclipse in the most sociable area of your chart will get things moving again. But will you know when to stop?

CANCER (June 22 – July 23):

Mars in your sign makes it easy to believe that your life has meaning and purpose, but you also need to be aware that it’s not all about you. Look for ways you can help other people today. Don’t think of it as charity, think of it as fun.

LEO (July 24 – Aug. 23):

You are on top of the world and seriously thinking about making a leap for the stars. Today’s solar eclipse in your sign energizes you to such an extent that you really believe you can leap tall buildings at a single bound. Believe it, but don’t do it!

VIRGO (Aug. 24 – Sept. 23):

Life may be tough at times but there are always ways you can make things easier for yourself. One such way will occur to you today and the moment it does you must make full use of it. Listen to, and act on, what your inner voice tells you.

LIBRA (Sept. 24 – Oct. 23):

The best way to get ahead in the world is to join with people whose aims and ambitions are very close to your own. Life is not and never will be a zero sum game － one person does not have to lose so another person can win.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24 – Nov. 22):

You are about to be put to the test and that’s good because you feel you have a lot to prove. A solar eclipse in the career area of your chart will inspire you to aim higher than ever before, and from there you will keep heading skyward!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 – Dec. 21):

If something you thought was of huge importance no longer engages you with the same level of passion you should take that as a sign that it’s time to move on to something new. What that something is should become apparent today.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 – Jan. 20):

There is a lot of emotional junk in your system and it’s holding you back from being more adventurous in the world. Today’s solar eclipse will inspire you to be ruthless with yourself and let it all go. Don’t be your own worst enemy.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 – Feb. 19):

If you need to improve a love relationship then today’s solar eclipse will show you how to strengthen the bond that exists between you. The fact is you have too much in common to even think about going your separate ways. The right way is together.

PISCES (Feb. 20 – Mar. 20):

You may have a lot of energy at your disposal but what are you going to do with it? The best outlet by far is to be ruthless and get rid of all the bad habits and outdated methods that have been holding you back. Start doing that today.
