IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY
You intend to accomplish great things over the coming year and there is no doubt that you will. However, if you try to go it alone you could turn against you people who should be your friends. Find creative ways to bring them into your plans.
ARIES (March 21 – April 20):
With both Mercury and Mars, your ruler, moving in your favour at the moment your future is bright. However, as Mercury begins its next retrograde phase on Sunday you cannot afford to take anything for granted. Be adventurous but avoid being reckless.
TAURUS (April 21 – May 21):
Upheavals are more likely than not over the next few days as Uranus, planet of the unexpected, moves back into your sign. You won’t be able to plan too far ahead, so be ready to react to events as and when they occur.
GEMINI (May 22 – June 21):
If you feel the urge to start something new today then go for it and ignore those who say you are risking too much. Maybe they are right, but when you are in this sort of mood there’s not much that can hold you back.
CANCER (June 22 – July 23):
It’s inevitable that you will experience some sort of backlash to what you have been up to of late but that won’t bother you in the slightest. Your outlook on life is so dynamic that you actually welcome challenges as a way of proving yourself.
LEO (July 24 – Aug. 23):
For best results today and over the weekend forget about trying to change the world on your own and team up with people who share your ideals. There are more of them out there than you realize and now is the time to start working together.
VIRGO (Aug. 24 – Sept. 23):
It may be true that you have been pushing your luck a bit in recent weeks but that’s because you are of the opinion that you didn’t push hard enough earlier in the year. If you are going to make an impression then now is the time.
LIBRA (Sept. 24 – Oct. 23):
Make sure you get plenty of rest over the next 24 hours because the weekend is going to bring the kind of challenges that require you to be fully alert. If you let your attention wander for even a moment your rivals will be first to the prize.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24 – Nov. 22):
Life may be full of opportunities but it is also full of stumbling blocks and an obstacle of some kind will upend you today. Get off the floor, dust yourself down and pick up from where you let off. Nothing can hold you back for long.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 – Dec. 21):
If you need help today then you must speak up. If you keep your problems to yourself others will assume that you are on top of things, as usual, and don’t require their assistance. No one expects you to be perfect, so don’t expect it of yourself.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 – Jan. 20):
The next two or three days will bring to the surface the kind of emotions that make people uneasy. No matter how strongly you may feel about what’s going on in the world you would be wise to play down your feelings, at least for now.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 – Feb. 19):
Try not to get angry with people whose attitude you find to be obstructive because it won’t make things any better. Instead, pretend they don’t exist, and when they try to engage you just turn your back and walk away. They’ll get the message.
PISCES (Feb. 20 – Mar. 20):
You may be tempted to go on a spur-of-the-moment trip today but the planets warn if you do it could end up being a longer one than you expected. Cosmic activity in the travel area of your chart means planning ahead is a must.
