IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY

Your way with words will enable you to persuade just about anyone to do just about anything for you this year. But you must be responsible about how you use that power. Enrich yourself financially and emotionally, but help others enrich themselves too.

ARIES (March 21 – April 20):

You will get the chance to shine on the work front today and people in positions of power will be impressed by your can-do attitude. While your rivals hesitate you will be pushing ahead in double time, because you know speed is what counts.

TAURUS (April 21 – May 21):

Artistic and creative matters are under excellent stars, so make sure what you are working on conforms to your vision of who you want to be in the world not just today but well into the future. Make a masterpiece of your existence.

GEMINI (May 22 – June 21):

Venus in the domestic area of your chart will make it easier to get through to loved ones and share both your joys and your fears. But don’t hog the conversation to such an extent that they can’t get a word in edgeways. You’ve got to listen too.

CANCER (June 22 – July 23):

Speak up and let friends, family members and even work colleagues know what is important to you. If you keep your feelings to yourself they won’t know what topics you prefer to avoid and could say something hurtful without meaning to.

LEO (July 24 – Aug. 23):

You need to remind yourself that one of the biggest mistakes anyone can make is to get emotional about money, and possessions too. You may have been worrying about your cash-flow situation but deep down you know it will work itself out.

VIRGO (Aug. 24 – Sept. 23):

Any day can be a new beginning but with Venus now moving into your sign this particular day is full of extra promise. What would you do if you knew you could not fail? Make that your guiding star for the immediate future.

LIBRA (Sept. 24 – Oct. 23):

As your ruler Venus moves into the most sensitive area of your chart today you may be reluctant to show your face to the world. It’s not that you are being unsociable, you just have matters to think about that require your mind to be calm.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24 – Nov. 22):

If you make an effort to reach out to people who share your way of looking at life they may persuade you to get more deeply involved in a cause that has been close to your heart for some time. Be a doer as well as a thinker.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 – Dec. 21):

An opportunity to move up on the work front is heading your way and it is an opportunity you cannot afford to ignore. It may not seem much of a challenge right now but in time it will give you the chance to do something spectacular.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 – Jan. 20):

Cosmic activity in the most adventurous area of your chart is an invitation to spread your wings and fly off to places that excite you. If, however, you are tied down at home or at work you can still give your imagination permission to soar.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 – Feb. 19):

You need to get past the idea that you must be ruthless with people who either cannot keep up with you on the work front or who do not share your desire to change the world. The only person you must be ruthless with is yourself.

PISCES (Feb. 20 – Mar. 20):

If you find yourself having to dance to someone else’s tune today, tomorrow and over the weekend that’s fine. It may not be the tune you would have chosen but it is still good enough to inspire you to give an award-winning performance.
