HOROSCOPES IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY

A Mars-Saturn link on your birthday means it is time to get serious about your ambitions. Push your doubts to one side and go after what inspires you the most. The fact that some people won’t approve of your choices will make them all the more attractive.

ARIES (March 21 - April 20):

A relationship that has been a bit rocky of late can be given a new lease of life if you are prepared to let go of the past and forgive and forget. Holding grudges won’t change the situation for the better, but it might make it worse.

TAURUS (April 21 - May 21):

You may be an Earth sign and conservative by nature but you are in one of those moods when you refuse to be limited by what other people have come to expect of you. No doubt you will shock a few people today but that’s a good thing.

GEMINI (May 22 - June 21):

Forget about what other people say you should be doing and do what feels right to you. Others may complain that you are acting irresponsibly but so what? With both the sun and Mercury in the most dynamic area of your chart you can get away with anything.

CANCER (June 22 - July 23):

Resist the urge to get involved in someone else’s private life today, even if they drop hints that they could do with your assistance. This is one of those occasions when whatever you might suggest you will be the one who is blamed when it goes wrong.

LEO (July 24 - Aug. 23):

Having committed yourself to a particular path you must stick with it to the end, no matter how rocky the road may get up ahead. Anyone who thinks they can persuade you to think again must be reminded you are not the sort to change your mind.

VIRGO (Aug. 24 - Sept. 23):

You don’t have to be a rebel but you do have to be aware that there are other options open to you, options that most people would find too risky. You have never been afraid to head off in a different direction and that’s what you must do now.

LIBRA (Sept. 24 - Oct. 23):

The sun and Mercury join forces in your sign today, which will clarify your thoughts and make it obvious what needs to be done. On the work front, especially, your ability to look and plan ahead will bring opportunities that are denied to your rivals.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22):

Some tough decisions will have to be taken over the next few days and you won’t hesitate to act quickly and ruthlessly to protect your own interests. Don’t worry that others might lose out because of your actions. Would they worry about you?

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 - Dec. 21):

There are so many opportunities available to you now that there is a danger you might try to do half a dozen things at once instead of one thing at a time. Identify your number one aim, then go for it with all the energy at your disposal.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 - Jan. 20):

Cosmic activity in the career area of your chart means it may be time to choose a new professional path. Take advice from friends and colleagues by all means but in the end you must act only on what your conscience tells you is right.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 - Feb. 19):

Your life will change for the better over the next few days and it’s quite possible that by the end of the week you will be moving along a very different path to the one you are currently on. There are no limits to what you can achieve.

PISCES (Feb. 20 - Mar. 20):

You can sense that something big is about to happen but because you can’t put your finger on what it might be your anxiety levels are rising. There is no reason to worry – the world could turn upside-down and you would still land on your feet.
