HOROSCOPES IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY

Do you believe in the power of positive thinking? Well you should because if you focus your mind in a single direction over the next few months your number one dream is sure to come true. Remind yourself each and every day what it is you most desire.

ARIES (March 21 - April 20):

Use plain and simple language to tell people what they must do for you. If you leave anything the least bit vague they will use that as an excuse to wriggle out of their obligations. Spell it out for them so there can be no misunderstandings.

TAURUS (April 21 - May 21):

The planets warn that someone in a position of authority could try to pressure you into making a hasty decision today. If you allow that to happen then something will inevitably go wrong and you will get the lion’s share of the blame.

GEMINI (May 22 - June 21):

Your mind may be sharp and clear but some of the people you have to deal with today will give the impression that their senses are wrapped in fog. It might be best not to entrust them with anything important, especially if it involves money.

CANCER (June 22 - July 23):

Don’t rush through a task just so you can get it out of the way and move on to something more interesting. If you make a poor job of it, and you will, the powers that be will demand that you do it again from the beginning.

LEO (July 24 - Aug. 23):

By all means start thinking of what you want to be doing toward the end of the week and over the following weekend but don’t lose sight of what must be done right now. Yes, chores can be a pain, but you must take care of the small stuff.

VIRGO (Aug. 24 - Sept. 23):

If you start having doubts about something that only a short while ago you thought was a brilliant idea then obviously something needs to change. Don’t be so stubborn that you refuse to alter course and risk making the same mistakes over and over again.

LIBRA (Sept. 24 - Oct. 23):

You may be desperate to make an impression on the work front but you also need to be sensible and make sure you follow the rules. If you give yourself an advantage by cutting corners your rivals will be on to you in a flash.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22):

It may be hard to say “No” to someone who asks you to donate to a worthy cause but the planets warn if you make a one-off payment now they won’t stop pestering you for more in the future. On this occasion it’s okay to be selfish.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 - Dec. 21):

Someone you thought you could trust has been keeping things from you and once you recognize that fact you will find it hard to trust them again. Don’t be too hard on them though as there is no doubt an understandable reason for their deceit.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 - Jan. 20):

If you find it hard to get your message across today maybe you should take the hint and stop trying to influence how other people think. It is your actions rather than your words that will win them round to your way of looking at life.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 - Feb. 19):

Don’t take it personally if someone in a position of authority says something that seems to reflect badly on you. Whether or not that is their intention it is within your power how you choose to react. Pretend it does not bother you in the slightest.

PISCES (Feb. 20 - Mar. 20):

Now that the sun is moving through the most sensitive area of your chart you may not feel very sociable but don’t cut yourself off from others completely. A smile and a simple “Hello” does not have to lead to a night on the town.
