IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY

You are not an army of one, nor do you exist in a vacuum, and it is what you do as part of a team that will bring success this year. Working with others will help you to express yourself in ways you could never do on your own.

ARIES (March 21 – April 20):

Your creative powers are now at their height, so be sure to make good use of them. The sun and Jupiter in your fellow Fire sign of Leo urge you to believe in your abilities and to make a name for yourself in the wider world.

TAURUS (April 21 – May 21):

Venus, your ruling planet, is moving through the work and well-being area of your chart, which among other things means there is no need to go to extremes. If you keep the pace slow and steady today you will prove your worth with ease.

GEMINI (May 22 – June 21):

It may seem as if too many things are coming easy to you now but the universe does not play tricks, you really are a favoured one. Ignore those who say you should be working harder and focus on having fun with friends and loved ones.

CANCER (June 22 – July 23):

The best way to take your mind off your money worries is to pretend they don’t exist, while at the same time working on something that does not depend on how wealthy you are. There’s still a lot of stuff out there that can be enjoyed for free.

LEO (July 24 – Aug. 23):

The pressure to show people in positions of power what you can do seems to be getting to you, so focus your attention on activities that do not require you to be on top of your game every single minute. If it’s not fun then don’t do it.

VIRGO (Aug. 24 – Sept. 23):

If you find yourself losing interest in what you are doing that’s probably a sign that you have taken your current project as far as it can go. There is no shame in changing your objective, so adjust your aim and go after a more interesting goal.

LIBRA (Sept. 24 – Oct. 23):

It’s okay to open up and show people your vulnerable side, in fact it may be essential right now. Someone you love needs to be reminded that you have real human feelings and that your deepest feelings are reserved exclusively for them.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24 – Nov. 22):

You may get a bit touchy today and say things that others do not enjoy, because you have reached the point where you can no longer be bothered to hide your emotions. That’s good － you need to let it out － but don’t lose control completely.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 – Dec. 21):

If you feel the need to take a break today then do so and don’t worry that other people might not approve. You have worked long and hard to reach your current elevated position and have more than earned some down time.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 – Jan. 20):

As a cardinal sign your status in the world means a lot to you, but don’t let it influence you to such an extent that you lose sight of what else is important. Does a loved one need your support? Then focus mainly on them today.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 – Feb. 19):

Money may be important but it cannot be allowed to influence every decision you make. Even if you don’t know where the next dollar is coming from just push ahead with your plans and trust that the universe will take care of your needs.

PISCES (Feb. 20 – Mar. 20):

Venus in the partnership area of your chart will give a boost to a relationship that has been on a downward slope for quite a while. Keep your eyes and ears open today and be ready to act when an opportunity to patch things up arises.
