IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY
You may be flexible by nature but don’t take it too far this year. If you allow yourself to get blown along by every passing fad you could lose sight of who you really are — one of those very special people who are destined to change the world.
ARIES (March 21 – April 20):
If you let where you are going to, rather than where you are coming from, be your guide you will make considerable progress today and over the weekend. The past is done and dusted, so look ahead, make your plans and carry them out with energy and efficiency.
TAURUS (April 21 – May 21):
It’s time to put into practice some of those principles that you often talk about but don’t always follow. The planets indicate that if you act with passion and self-belief today then what occurs in the very near future will change and maybe even transform your existence.
GEMINI (May 22 – June 21):
There is no point getting upset about events over which you have no control. Accept that some things you would like to be better are probably going to get worse over the coming weeks. Focus instead on those things that are still in your power to change.
CANCER (June 22 – July 23):
While your colleagues are wasting their time on idle gossip you will be looking around for opportunities to improve your professional and financial position — and you will find them. Identify your goals and then go after them with 100-per-cent commitment.
LEO (July 24 – Aug. 23):
Yesterday’s new moon will have alerted you to new ways to make money, or at least to ways in which you can make your cash go further, and today you can start making it happen. In future, don’t waste your limited resources buying things you don’t need.
VIRGO (Aug. 24 – Sept. 23):
There is always something new to learn and after the events of the past few days you should be a bit more knowledgeable about what’s going on in the world. Now you have a clearer view of the bigger picture how can you use it to improve your own position?
LIBRA (Sept. 24 – Oct. 23):
Recent developments of a personal nature have made it easier for you to face up to elements of your personality that you had previously pretended did not exist. That’s good, because being honest with yourself is an essential step on the road to success.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24 – Nov. 22):
Nothing in life ever truly happens by chance, everything is part of a huge cosmic game that is moving ahead by design, even if on many occasions that can be hard to believe. Look for connections on every level today and over the weekend.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 – Dec. 21):
You won’t lack for opportunities to make your mark over the next few days but be careful you don’t make enemies of people who have the power to disrupt your plans and spoil your dreams. In other words, watch what you say and who you say it to!
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 – Jan. 20):
If something you previously took for granted was challenged by recent events you would be wise to learn from it and make adjustments to both your worldly aims and your wider belief system. Few things in life are set in stone, so move with the times.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 – Feb. 19):
You may be tempted to invest in something that appears to be a sure thing but the planets warn you could be overlooking vital information that makes it a bigger risk than you imagined. Keep your money in your pocket, at least for the time being.
PISCES (Feb. 20 – Mar. 20):
Don’t ignore it if certain events seem to be repeating themselves. It may be the universe’s way of getting you to notice that you have grown too comfortable of late, to the extent that you no longer care if you make the same mistake over and over.
