HOROSCOPES
IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY
The influence of Mars on your birthday means you will be on the go morning, noon and night in the weeks and months to come. You must, though, be smart and schedule yourself regular down time. Not even Taurus can travel at top speed forever.
ARIES (March 21 – April 20):
Try not to let little things annoy you today. With the sun at odds with your ruling planet Mars there will be times when it’s hard not to get angry but if you call on your powers of self-control you will impress the people who count.
TAURUS (April 21 – May 21):
If you act in ways that other people might see as excessive it is highly unlikely that you will win them round to your way of thinking. You may not care much about that now but it could have negative consequences further down the line.
GEMINI (May 22 – June 21):
You may be tempted to give up on something that is not working out the way you desired but stick at it and you will be surprised how quickly it comes together for you. You are at that point where it’s easier to go forward than go back.
CANCER (June 22 – July 23):
Do whatever it takes to avoid getting involved in disputes and disagreements today. Even if you are convinced that you are right, and even if the facts are all on your side, you will gain more in the long-term if you have the grace to back down.
LEO (July 24 – Aug. 23):
Do you place your trust in a stranger simply because they seem to know what they are talking about? No you do not. This could be one of those occasions when your ability to judge people is a little off-centre, so err on the side of caution.
VIRGO (Aug. 24 – Sept. 23):
Don’t be surprised if something you feel strongly about fails to get much of a response from other people. Maybe they don’t care, or maybe they have more personal matters to deal with, but if you want to make a difference you must make it on your own.
LIBRA (Sept. 24 – Oct. 23):
This could be one of those days when if someone rattles your cage, even in a friendly fashion, you let them know in no uncertain terms that you are not amused. A sun-Mars link could make you hyper-sensitive to criticism, so try not to listen.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24 – Nov. 22):
Someone whose support you can usually rely on seems a bit vague in their opinions at the moment, which suggests that in their eyes you are likely to have done something wrong. Find out what that something is and then make efforts to put it right.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 – Dec. 21):
There are so many things going on in your world now that your ability to focus will be severely disturbed. Having said that, you come up with your best ideas when you let your mind wander, so all that mental stimulation could be to your benefit.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 – Jan. 20):
Partners and loved ones will have you running in all directions today and it will be both physically and mentally exhausting. You could, of course, let them know that they need to do more for themselves but you actually quite enjoy feeling needed.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 – Feb. 19):
For some strange reason, or maybe no reason at all, you are reading all sorts of weird and wonderful things into situations that are quite normal and not in the least bit questionable. Try switching off the suspicious side of your brain for a bit.
PISCES (Feb. 20 – Mar. 20):
You know you need to let off steam but how do you do that without making things hot for others both at home and at work? A quick burst of physical activity could help burn off some of that negativity you are feeling. Maybe do something sporty.
