IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY
Make it your one and only aim this year to start each day with a smile on your face and to finish each day the same way. Recognize that no matter what other people might say or do you alone are in charge of your fate.
ARIES (March 21 – April 20):
No matter how confident you may be in your own abilities you must resist the temptation to make promises you don’t know for sure you will be able to keep. It’s better to admit your limits now than to be shown up for them later on.
TAURUS (April 21 – May 21):
You may think you can cut a corner or two without anyone noticing but the planets warn you are kidding no one but yourself. Behave as if you are being watched every minute of every day. Make sure your actions are beyond reproach.
GEMINI (May 22 – June 21):
If you are feeling a bit down at the moment it could be because you are bored with life. As one of the zodiac’s more mentally active signs you need to be stimulated every minute of every day, so find something new that really excites you.
CANCER (June 22 – July 23):
You may be eager to push ahead with a project that has hit a wall of late but first you must go back and check that what was done earlier is still the best foundation. Leave it any longer and you may have to start again from scratch.
LEO (July 24 – Aug. 23):
The quickest route to a goal is not always the best route and the message of the stars today is that if you are going to get where you most want to be you must plan ahead. Try taking a slightly different path than all your rivals.
VIRGO (Aug. 24 – Sept. 23):
Jupiter’s influence in your chart means that friendships and group associations, while under favourable stars, could bring a few surprises. You may want to be sociable but on this occasion it might be better to keep a bit of yourself in reserve.
LIBRA (Sept. 24 – Oct. 23):
What occurs today and over the weekend can be seen as either a challenge or an opportunity, or maybe both together. If you keep your eyes and ears open you will be one of the lucky few who can make events work to their advantage.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24 – Nov. 22):
If you attempt to force the pace today you could find that you have exhausted yourself come the weekend, so take life at a steady speed and don’t worry about how long it takes you to reach your goal, because it’s not a race.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 – Dec. 21):
If a friend tries to interest you in the kind of social event you have never been to before you would be wise to find out a bit more about it. Most likely it will be a lot of fun but don’t jump in with your eyes wide shut!
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 – Jan. 20):
A task that looks simple today could look a lot more difficult over the weekend, so get on with it and aim to have it done and dusted before the clock strikes midnight. The earlier you start the sooner you will be finished.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 – Feb. 19):
You may think that if you don’t push on to your goal right away a rival will beat you to it but on this occasion that might be a good thing. With so many planets moving retrograde now it’s better to be a follower than a leader.
PISCES (Feb. 20 – Mar. 20):
The more others run this way and that preaching doom and gloom the more you must refuse to worry about what’s going on. Deep down you know it will all come good in the end, so start the weekend early and have yourself some fun.
