IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY
A new start is not just possible but essential. Make a promise to yourself on your birthday that by this time next year your lifestyle will have been transformed for the better. It won’t be as difficult as you imagine. If not now, then when?
ARIES (March 21 – April 20):
A change of pace on the work front will be needed over the coming week, or even a complete change of career. If you have got a bit blasé about your ambitions of late that could mean you need a new challenge. Give it some serious thought.
TAURUS (April 21 – May 21):
It should be easy for you to get your own way but just because you can influence other people to follow your lead does not mean you have to. If you force them to act against their interests now they could turn against you later on.
GEMINI (May 22 – June 21):
If someone lets you down over the next few days, and the planets suggest they will, try not to get emotional about it. Go some place quiet and ask yourself if their stupidity or duplicity is actually going to do you any harm. If not, why react?
CANCER (June 22 – July 23):
The more restrictions you have been operating under lately the more determined you will be to break free. The only danger you might encounter is that someone who has benefited from keeping you down will try to keep you caged. Don’t let that happen.
LEO (July 24 – Aug. 23):
The message of the stars for the week ahead is that you will be far better off in the long-term if you keep your short-term spending under control. Cosmic activity in the money area of your chart may encourage you to be financially reckless.
VIRGO (Aug. 24 – Sept. 23):
It seems you can do no wrong at the moment and that feeling of invincibility will continue for some time. If you focus on a single aim between now and when your ruler Mercury changes signs on Thursday you will achieve something extraordinary.
LIBRA (Sept. 24 – Oct. 23):
You must stay alert over the next few days because the planets warn that someone will try to use your name and reputation to get things for themselves that they do not deserve. You may be generous by nature but don’t let others feed off your success.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24 – Nov. 22):
Follow your instincts and don’t doubt for a moment that your higher mind knows what you need and how to get it. Find a way to shut out the noise of the outside world and get in touch with the real you that resides deep inside.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 – Dec. 21):
Cosmic activity in the career area of your chart means you can expect some kind of upheaval on the work front over the coming week. Fortunately, it will be the kind of upheaval that works in your favour. Other people’s failures can be your opportunities.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 – Jan. 20):
The sun in the most adventurous area of your chart means you should be aiming to do more and do better. For the very best results you must focus on a limited range of goals, because if you spread yourself too thin you won’t accomplish so much.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 – Feb. 19):
The past few weeks have not exactly been full of opportunities but by the time the sun changes signs on the 22nd the logjam will start to move and you will be much more positive about your prospects. Start making plans, and make them big!
PISCES (Feb. 20 – Mar. 20):
If you make a conscious effort to see what’s been going on from alternative points of view you will realize that your differences with other people are skin deep at most. You may even feel sympathy for individuals who previously annoyed you intensely.
