IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY
A Mercury-Jupiter link on your birthday will encourage you to aim high but you must not expect too much of yourself. Even a Libra has limits and you will accomplish much more this year if the goals you set yourself remain well within them.
ARIES (March 21 – April 20):
Be careful how you talk to people today because your words may come across as arrogant or even aggressive, even though that may not be your intention. Not everyone is as robust as you, so take their sensitivity into account.
TAURUS (April 21 – May 21):
Don’t worry too much if you find it hard to share in other people’s enthusiasm for whatever fun and games they are currently involved with. These are serious times and it’s quite natural that you should see some people as annoyingly frivolous.
GEMINI (May 22 – June 21):
You don’t have to put profit before principles today but you do have to make sure that other people cannot take advantage of your charitable nature. With Mercury, your ruler, at odds with Jupiter you could be too generous for your own good.
CANCER (June 22 – July 23):
You need to raise your game on the work front so that your employer and senior colleagues can see you are taking events as seriously as they are. Deep down you may not take them seriously at all but don’t let them know that.
LEO (July 24 – Aug. 23):
It’s not like you to get stage fright but for some reason you seem reluctant to put on a show. If you have already committed yourself you will have to swallow your fear and get on with it anyway. Don’t worry, your star quality always shines through.
VIRGO (Aug. 24 – Sept. 23):
Because Mercury, your ruling planet, is on poor terms with Jupiter you must make a conscious effort to steer clear of extremes. You could so easily drift too far in one direction and end up making enemies of people who could have been friends.
LIBRA (Sept. 24 – Oct. 23):
Someone in a position of authority will sing your praises today but for some reason you can’t quite believe what they say. Your instincts are spot on as usual because the planets warn they are softening you up for negative news, so prepare yourself.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24 – Nov. 22):
Try not to get depressed by all the bad things going on in the world. You may not be able to control events but you can control how you react to them, so resolve to look for the golden thread of goodness that runs through all people.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 – Dec. 21):
You need to have a deeper think about a project you are about to embark on. Will it be a good use of your time? Will it bring the rewards you hope for? Most of all, will it be cost efficient? You need to answer those questions.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 – Jan. 20):
Before you tell someone what you really think of them try to envisage what the consequences might be. You may think you are being helpful but from their point of view it could seem like a declaration of war. Maybe keep your thoughts to yourself?
AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 – Feb. 19):
If your energy levels drop off today just accept it and wait until they rise again before pushing ahead with your plans. You’re not on the clock and a bit of rest and relaxation could do you the world of good. Slow the tempo right down.
PISCES (Feb. 20 – Mar. 20):
You may be full of enthusiasm for a project of some kind but the planets warn not everyone shares your passion. Make it your business today to find out why they are so reluctant to get involved. Their concerns could be valid.
