IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY
Set yourself targets that you can reach under your own steam rather than having to rely on the energy and goodwill of other people. Also, have a serious clear-out of all those possessions you no longer need. Clutter is the enemy of creativity.
ARIES (March 21 – April 20):
If you feel like you need a break then take one and ignore those who say you have no time to slow down. You do in fact have all the time in the world, so be kind to yourself and make sure you greet the weekend feeling relaxed.
TAURUS (April 21 – May 21):
You may have to do some serious digging to find out what is really going on in your everyday environment. The more friends and neighbors try to tell you there is nothing to be worried about the more concerned you should be!
GEMINI (May 22 – June 21):
Is a family matter worth getting worked up about? Almost certainly the answer is NO, so refuse to let your fears get the better of you and act as if everything will work out for the best in the end. Strangely, it usually does in these situations.
CANCER (June 22 – July 23):
If someone you work or do business with criticizes you for no good reason today you cannot afford to let them get away with it. If you fail to stand up for yourself on this occasion they will see it as a sign of weakness, so speak up.
LEO (July 24 – Aug. 23):
Mars in your sign makes you even more assertive than you usually are but there is a danger you could go too far and give others the impression that you think of yourself as some sort of dictator. That’s a good way to spark a revolution!
VIRGO (Aug. 24 – Sept. 23):
You may not be the sort to waste precious time on activities that don’t have a measurable end but even a Virgo needs to relax once in a while. Kick off your shoes, turn on the TV and give yourself permission to chill for an hour or three.
LIBRA (Sept. 24 – Oct. 23):
Keep your plans to yourself today because the less other people know about what you are up to the more likely it is you will make a success of it. The planets indicate this is one of those occasions when you should work on your own.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24 – Nov. 22):
You may lack some of the material resources that your rivals can call on but you have what they do not possess: strength and stamina and self-belief. Focus on your No. 1 goal and act as if it’s success is a forgone conclusion.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 – Dec. 21):
You need to be careful when dealing with people in positions of power because if you say something that is even remotely critical they won’t take kindly to it. For your own self-protection keep your thoughts to yourself for the time being.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 – Jan. 20):
You seem to be leading a charmed existence at the moment and long may it continue. Your run of good luck is more likely to persist if you stick with your top objective rather than chop and change. Why tinker with a winning formula?
AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 – Feb. 19):
If that little lightbulb in your head sparks into life today you must drop whatever else you may be doing and chase after that new idea. As someone who likes to move with the times you won’t be afraid to change course completely.
PISCES (Feb. 20 – Mar. 20):
You need to take what a partner or loved one tells you today very seriously indeed. You may be inclined to believe that they are overreacting but the planets warn it could be you who has failed to recognize what is really going on.
