IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY

Keep believing you have what it takes to be the best and keep striving day and night to prove it. The moment a doubt, even a small one, is able to creep into your mind you must kick it out again, because confidence is the key to success.

It may be frustrating that events over which you have no control are stopping you from doing certain things but come the end of the week you will look back and realize it was for your own good. The universe won’t let you make a fool of yourself!

If you were hoping for a quiet time over the next few days that’s too bad because you’re not going to get it. What you ARE going to get, however, is a series of opportunities to improve your life both materially and emotionally. It’s all good.

If you are not in the mood to be the life and soul of the party then remove yourself from the presence of people who expect you to perform. This is one of those occasions when you will learn more from enjoying your own company.

The most important thing as the new week begins is that you stay focused on your goals. There will be a lot of distractions over the next few days and if you stray for even a short time it could take an age to get back on course.

Do you get along with your co-workers? If you need to improve relationships on the career front then what happens over the coming week will point you in the right direction. To start with it might help to stop thinking that you are always right!

This is potentially a sensational time of year for you, with cosmic activity in the most dynamic area of your chart giving you the get up and go to get amazing stuff done. Give 100 per cent this week in both big things and small things.

You must pace yourself sensibly today, because if you start the week in a rush you could take a wrong turn and find yourself playing catch-up with your rivals. It’s not how fast you travel that counts but how carefully you plan ahead.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24 – Nov. 22):

You need to get past a situation that has been winding you up emotionally. It may continue to touch a nerve for several weeks to come but you can and you must push it to the back of your mind and focus on more important matters.

Stop fretting about what could go wrong and concentrate on all the things that could still go right. The planets indicate that if you can maintain a positive outlook this week the rewards, some of which could be financial, will be well worth the effort.

Don’t bother trying to explain to other people the whys and wherefores of what you are planning. Just get on with it. This is your time of year and if you make the right calls the next few days could be some of the best of your life.

It may be frustrating that for every step forward you take you then have to take two steps backward but there is a reason why the universe is playing these games. It doesn’t want you to get ahead of yourself before the time is right, so be patient.

The adventurous side of your nature will come to the fore this week and if you really want to have fun you will join forces and go places with people who share your outlook on life. Together you can do the kind of things that make a difference.
