IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY
Jupiter’s influence on your birthday will put a lot of big ideas into your head, but only some of those ideas are going to be worth pursuing. Rate them on how much they can benefit you personally. Don’t worry too much about anyone else.
ARIES (March 21 – April 20):
You may have to make a decision you don’t much like today but the planets warn you cannot be anything less than ruthless with someone you can no longer trust. If you don’t make a change they will, and it won’t be in your favour.
TAURUS (April 21 – May 21):
You need to forget about the traditional way of doing things and bring your methods and routines up to date. If you are going to compete on a professional level you cannot continue to believe the old ways are the best, because they’re not.
GEMINI (May 22 – June 21):
You will be getting plenty of advice from friends and colleagues as the new week begins, and some of it may even be good advice, but you would be wise to ignore it. The only voice you should be listening to is the one inside your head.
CANCER (June 22 – July 23):
By all means enjoy yourself over the next few days but make sure it doesn’t cost you too much financially. You friends will happily go along with your plans, and will just as happily let you pay the bills, but can you afford it?
LEO (July 24 – Aug. 23):
Jupiter in your sign is a wonderful influence but it can make you a bit reckless, and today’s Jupiter-Pluto link warns things could get out of hand if you don’t use good judgment. Don’t take risks just because other people ask you to.
VIRGO (Aug. 24 – Sept. 23):
It’s not like you to get emotional but over the next few days there will be times when you struggle to control your feelings. Maybe that’s no bad thing. Maybe you need to show the world that love is as important to you as logic.
LIBRA (Sept. 24 – Oct. 23):
You may not be your usual dynamic self over the next 24 hours as challenges at home and at work force you to think more and act less. You will need a long-term plan to deal with the many changes now taking place, so get one quickly.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24 – Nov. 22):
You may be stubborn by nature but just saying “No” repeatedly is unlikely to bring much success. Your priority this week must be to understand why certain people keep making demands of you that you don’t want to fulfill. What are their motives?
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 – Dec. 21):
All things are possible for you now but that does not mean you should try to do everything. Today’s Jupiter-Pluto link will make it clear that you need to focus only on what is of most importance to you. Ignore everything else.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 – Jan. 20):
The message of the stars today is that you need to have a clear vision of what it is you are hoping to accomplish, not just right now but for the rest of the year. Once you have that vision you can turn it into a workable plan.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 – Feb. 19):
It may seem as if the world is unfair, and of course it is, but there is no point trying to change everything yourself. Your task for the coming week is to identify areas where you can make a personal difference. Small efforts can lead to big changes.
PISCES (Feb. 20 – Mar. 20):
If you find yourself dealing with someone who is as set in their ways as you are in yours the best course of action by far is to back off and avoid confrontation. You don’t HAVE to have a relationship, of whatever kind, with this individual.
