IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY
Drastic lifestyle changes will be needed over the coming year and they will be easier to handle if you clear out all that useless junk you’ve been dragging around. A possessions purge is a must, but so too is a purge of negative thinking.
ARIES (March 21 – April 20):
The sun in your sign does wonders for your enthusiasm but not much for your patience and if someone you work with is a bit slow today you will let them know about it. They may move faster but will they produce better results?
TAURUS (April 21 – May 21):
Life is too short to worry what other people think about the choices you’ve made, so ignore any criticism that comes your way today and keep pushing ahead as if everyone else is wrong and you are right. It may even be true.
GEMINI (May 22 – June 21):
If you get dragged into a dispute between friends or family members today it may be a very long time before you can wriggle your way out of it again, so it’s better not to get involved in the first place. Let them sort it out for themselves.
CANCER (June 22 – July 23):
Anyone who thinks you don’t have what it takes to compete at the highest level will be proved wrong today. Hopefully you won’t make too many enemies along the way but even if you do it’s a small price to pay for success.
LEO (July 24 – Aug. 23):
You seem to be in one of those moods when you refuse to believe what other people are telling you. No doubt you are right and they are keeping something from you, but on this occasion it may be safer not to know what it is.
VIRGO (Aug. 24 – Sept. 23):
As an Earth sign you tend not to believe things unless you can see them with your own eyes, and that trait will work in your favour today. While others may be happy to accept what they are told you will refuse to take anything on trust.
LIBRA (Sept. 24 – Oct. 23):
This is not a good time to take risks for the fun of it. Cosmic activity in your opposite sign means important people are watching you closely and if they see you are reckless it could damage your career prospects. A safety first approach is a must.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24 – Nov. 22):
You are rarely half-hearted about what you do in life and that’s good because what you are working on now will require your full attention and your total commitment. Your passion for excellence will bring the rewards you both desire and deserve.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 – Dec. 21):
Cosmic activity in the most dynamic area of your chart means you now have the confidence to try things that previously you might have backed away from. They say all is fair in love and business, so go all out for success.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 – Jan. 20):
The pressure is beginning to rise and you won’t be able to escape it, so don’t waste time trying. Instead, head directly toward the challenges coming your way and make it your business to overcome them. Self-belief is your No. 1 weapon.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 – Feb. 19):
You seem to be in two minds about what you should be doing, but with your ruling planet Uranus about to be energized by Mars you won’t be confused for long. Once you have fixed on a target you must commit yourself 100 percent.
PISCES (Feb. 20 – Mar. 20):
A task of some kind is taking up an increasingly large slice of your time and energy and you don’t know what to do about it. On this occasion the smartest move might be to just forget about it. Sometimes giving up is the only sensible option.
