IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY

Mercury’s influence on your birthday will do wonders for your ability to think straight. While your rivals are tying themselves in knots over this or that theory, you will know with the utmost clarity what the truth is and what needs to be done.

ARIES (March 21 – April 20):

The bigger your plans, the more closely you need to work with other people. Having a dream is not enough, you must also be able to turn that dream into a concrete reality, and that is unlikely to happen if you insist on going it alone.

TAURUS (April 21 – May 21):

You have been far too modest about your achievements in recent weeks and must now let the world know who you are and what you can do. With Mercury joining the sun in the most dynamic area of your chart today, that won’t be a problem.

GEMINI (May 22 – June 21):

You will need to be more pushy on the home front today, as a loved one seems unable to make up their mind about what they should be doing. They may genuinely be confused, but more likely it’s just laziness, so nudge them in the right direction.

CANCER (June 22 – July 23):

Cosmic activity in the area of your chart that governs your social life will make it easy to get out and about and have a good time. The more others complain that you are neglecting your duties, the more determined you will be to sing and dance.

LEO (July 24 – Aug. 23):

You must not allow a partner or colleague to force you into making a hasty decision. Even if you trust their judgment, it’s unlikely the situation will work out well if you act too quickly, so dig in your heels and refuse to be budged.

VIRGO (Aug. 24 – Sept. 23):

Mercury’s move into your sign today will do wonders for the way you think and the way you communicate. You won’t lack for ideas and you won’t be lost for words when it comes to explaining what you are going to be doing.

LIBRA (Sept. 24 – Oct. 23):

A slight delay early in the day could work in your favor, because by the time you reach your destination, those who were ahead of you will have done most of the heavy lifting. Make sure you return the favor if you ever get the chance.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24 – Nov. 22):

Try not to get dragged into situations in which you have no personal interests at stake. The more others call on you to get involved, the more you should make it clear to them that, on this occasion at least, they are on their own.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 – Dec. 21):

Opportunities to move up in the world are about to come thick and fast, so be ready to act quickly and decisively and don’t waste time worrying what your actions might mean for other people. Do they ever worry about you?

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 – Jan. 20):

Things that you found difficult to come to grips with in the past will come easy to you now that Mercury is moving in your favour again. Puzzles that confound other people won’t stand a chance when confronted by your keen and agile mind.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 – Feb. 19):

You may be inclined to sweep away everything that went before so that you can start again, but don’t be hasty. The approaching lunar eclipse will do the job for you at a much lower cost, so be patient and let fate take its course.

PISCES (Feb. 20 – Mar. 20):

Cosmic activity in your opposite sign will bring some kind of challenge over the next few days and it is of the utmost importance that you stay calm and think logically. If you let your emotions get the better of you, it could be a challenge you lose.
