HOROSCOPES IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY

You can, if you wish, sit back and wait for good things to come your way but think how much more you could accomplish if you were to get out into the world and make things happen yourself. Be more of a mover and shaker this year.

ARIES (March 21 - April 20):

Some of your colleagues may be opposed to what you are doing but that won’t stop you for a single second. It is not in your nature to put other people’s interests ahead of your own without a very good reason, and they have no reason at all.

TAURUS (April 21 - May 21):

Like it or not you will be forced to make certain changes over the next 24 hours, but the good news is if you buckle down and make the most of them they may actually work in your favour. Don’t be so stubborn Taurus, say Yes to progress.

GEMINI (May 22 - June 21):

Get involved in some kind of cause or social movement that can make a difference today. If you help those who cannot help themselves you will not only do them a lot of good but you will look good too in the eyes of the world.

CANCER (June 22 - July 23):

It’s time for a serious clear-out of all those things in your life that have been holding you back. That doesn’t just mean material things such as possessions but emotional things too. Are there any outdated relationships that can safely be junked?

LEO (July 24 - Aug. 23):

Everything seems to be up in the air at the moment and no doubt you are running here, there and everywhere trying to stay in control. But why bother? According to the planets it won’t make any difference to you personally if it all comes crashing down.

VIRGO (Aug. 24 - Sept. 23):

You have never been the sort to give up on something just because it is difficult and you have no intention of changing your ways now. The more others say you should leave it and move on the more determined you will be to see it through to completion.

LIBRA (Sept. 24 - Oct. 23):

Don’t take it personally if people you usually get along with seem to be avoiding you today. It doesn’t mean that you have done anything wrong – on the contrary, it’s more likely they have made a mistake and are afraid you will criticize them for it.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22):

A project you have been working on for weeks, maybe months, has to be completed either today or tomorrow. After that there will be more pressing matters for you to deal with, so make one final effort to see it over the line.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 - Dec. 21):

There is a sense of urgency about your activities, because you know this will be the last chance you get to reach an important objective. The sun’s change of signs tomorrow will take you off in a new direction, so chase after that goal today!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 - Jan. 20):

Changes on the work front may not be to your liking but the fact is you don’t have the power to resist them, so be smart and go with the flow. These changes have been on the cards for quite some time, so you should already be prepared.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 - Feb. 19):

If you aim to get a dozen tasks finished today most likely just two or three of them will work out well for you. As for the rest, not even an Aquarius can do everything at once, so put them on hold and come back to them later on.

PISCES (Feb. 20 - Mar. 20):

The more you try to force people to move in one direction today the more they will do their utmost to move in a different direction. Try a double bluff instead: Nudge them in the opposite direction to where you want them to go. It could work.
