IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY

With a new moon on your birthday and a cluster of planets in your sign you can’t help but be at the center of attention over the coming year. Don’t try to avoid responsibility because it is clearly your destiny to take a starring role.

ARIES (March 21 – April 20):

Today’s new moon will give you the boost you need to finish a project that is almost done but needs one last push to get it over the line. If you put in the extra effort today then the weekend will be fun from beginning to end.

TAURUS (April 21 – May 21):

It may seem to some people that you are not much interested in what’s going on in the world but nothing could be further from the truth. You are simply giving yourself the time and space to decide what action you need to take next.

GEMINI (May 22 – June 21):

Make a point of meeting up with people who share your outlook on life and whose company you enjoy. This is not a day for the kind of activities that make your head swim or your muscles ache, this is a day for unashamedly enjoying yourself.

CANCER (June 22 – July 23):

If you have not been getting the recognition you deserve then step into the spotlight over the next 24 hours and let everyone know you are no longer prepared to be ignored. Do something that makes the world sit up and take notice.

LEO (July 24 – Aug. 23):

It does not matter which direction you are currently moving in, you will arrive at the destination that is perfect for you. The universe is conspiring to lead you to a place where all your dreams come true, so don’t fight the process.

VIRGO (Aug. 24 – Sept. 23):

The amount of cash in your pocket is nowhere near as important as the amount of self-belief in your heart, so act as if you cannot fail and expect each and every moment of the day to be rewarded, not just financially but emotionally too.

LIBRA (Sept. 24 – Oct. 23):

Either you will come to someone’s rescue today or they will come to yours, but the important thing is that fate is about to throw you together. The reason for that will become clear early next week. It will be a thoroughly enjoyable experience.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24 – Nov. 22):

If you need to force through some kind of change, most likely on the work front, now is the perfect time to show you have what it takes to replace what went before with something a lot more exciting. Others will be inspired to follow your lead.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 – Dec. 21):

If you want to show you are the best at what you do now is the time to throw off all restraint and go for it with total commitment. Be bold, be brave and be the one who shows the way when others falter. You cannot possibly fail.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 – Jan. 20):

A falling out of some kind must be resolved before the weekend, so make it your one and only aim today to bring together people who just lately could not bear to be in the same room together. Be the go-between who negotiates a truce.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 – Feb. 19):

You will have a lot to say for yourself today and if others are smart they will listen and learn. You can see what most people cannot and won’t be shy about letting them know what they are doing wrong. They may even thank you for it.

PISCES (Feb. 20 – Mar. 20):

The new moon in the money area of your chart will inspire you to try things you previously thought were too complicated to master. Something will click in your mind and suddenly what seemed so confusing will make perfect sense.
