IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY
Saturn’s influence on your birthday means you need to get serious about how best you can use the talents you were born with to improve both your own life and the lives of those you love. Whatever the effort, it will be worth it.
ARIES (March 21 – April 20):
You have been worrying far too much of late but with mind planet Mercury coming to the end of its retrograde phase you should at last be able to see what has been going on from a more rational perspective. It’s certainly not all bad news.
TAURUS (April 21 – May 21):
Like it or not you are going to have to change your opinion about someone either today or over the weekend. Whatever reasons you had for believing they were up to no good those reasons will soon be shown to be completely worthless.
GEMINI (May 22 – June 21):
You need to get serious about what’s been going on at work in recent weeks. While your ruling planet Mercury was moving retrograde it was easy to overlook troubling events but that won’t be an option today. You cannot afford to avoid the truth.
CANCER (June 22 – July 23):
If you feel like getting up and going some place far away then do it and don’t look back. Ignore those who say you cannot afford to be so reckless because all they really care about is that their reliance on you is about to be ended.
LEO (July 24 – Aug. 23):
The line between passion and obsession is rather thin at the moment and you need to make sure you don’t step over it either accidentally or on purpose. The powers that be won’t be amused if they think you are losing your sense of proportion.
VIRGO (Aug. 24 – Sept. 23):
You have been doing too many things for too many people and need to cut back a bit. That will be easier to do when Mercury moves in your favor again at the weekend. You’ve done enough for them, so now do more for yourself.
LIBRA (Sept. 24 – Oct. 23):
If your heart isn’t in a task of some sort then give it a miss. Most likely it is the universe telling you that this particular pursuit is no longer worth it and you would be better off using your talents for something more positive.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24 – Nov. 22):
You are in the sort of go-ahead, can-do frame of mind that makes even the toughest of tasks look easy. But don’t push yourself so hard today that you have to sit out most of the weekend to recover your energy. Pace yourself sensibly.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 – Dec. 21):
Be true to your feelings and admit to yourself that your passion for a relationship or a career goal is no longer worth it. The planets warn if you carry on living a lie your motivation will wane and your standards will start slipping badly.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 – Jan. 20):
Your powers of persuasion have waned a bit in recent weeks but when Mercury ends its retrograde phase at the weekend you will find the right words again. Tell those you have done favours for that you expect to be repaid in full.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 – Feb. 19):
You may not want to move with the times but what occurs over the next few days will make it clear that you cannot stay where you are forever. Be bold and identify where you need to make the biggest changes, then make them without regret.
PISCES (Feb. 20 – Mar. 20):
As Mercury is coming to the end of its retrograde phase this is the perfect time to think ahead and start making long-term plans. Then, when the time comes to act, you will be ready to move ahead while others are still stuck in the past.
