Beirut Reels as Israeli Airstrikes Intensify Amid Expanding Regional Conflict

                                     Smoke rises after an Israeli strike in central Beirut's Bachoura neighbourhood Israeli warplanes struck central Beirut in the early hours of March 18, delivering some of the most intense bombardments the city center has seen in decades. The attacks destroyed residential buildings in densely populated neighborhoods such as Bashoura, Zuqaq al-Blat, and Basta, killing at least six to twelve people according to varying Lebanese authority reports.  The strikes come as the broader conflict widens following Hezbollah’s involvement earlier in the month and escalating tit-for-tat actions between Israel and Iran.

HOROSCOPES IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY

The right opportunity will arrive at exactly the right time over the coming year and all you have to do is make the most of it. With a new moon on your birthday you can be sure the universe wants you to enjoy the many good things in life.

ARIES (March 21 - April 20):

If you start something of a business or financial nature under the influence of today’s new moon it is sure to go well. Some people may say you are taking too much of a risk but you have faith in your instincts for making a profit.

TAURUS (April 21 - May 21):

You may believe that a friend or colleague is up to no good but the planets indicate you are probably seeing things that are not really there. If you give them the benefit of the doubt today it could be you who benefits in unexpected ways.

GEMINI (May 22 - June 21):

You must pace yourself sensibly over the next 24 hours because there are limits to your energy and stamina and you are nearing those limits right now. Find creative ways to lessen your load. For starters, get others to do more of the work.

CANCER (June 22 - July 23):

If you want something enough today you will find a way to get it. A new moon in your fellow water sign of Scorpio makes this one of those occasions when your confidence is rapidly heading for the stars. If you can think it you can do it.

LEO (July 24 - Aug. 23):

It is important that you answer someone’s call for assistance today. They may have got themselves into their current mess entirely by their own stupid actions but you are no stranger to making wrong choices, so help them if you can.

VIRGO (Aug. 24 - Sept. 23):

There is enough room in the world for people with all shades of opinion, so don’t get uptight if a friend or loved one takes an opposing view to what you believe. If you listen to what they have to say you might even learn something worth knowing.

LIBRA (Sept. 24 - Oct. 23):

The most important thing now is that you make a decision and stick to it. The more you chop and change today and over the weekend the less likely it is you will move closer to your long-term goals. A fixed purpose is an absolute must.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22):

The new moon in your sign urges you to get your act together and make a brand new start. It’s no use just thinking about taking off in a new direction, at some stage you have got to make it happen. That stage can and must start today.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 - Dec. 21):

Speak your mind today and don’t worry about who might be offended. Everyone knows you are one of those people who puts their thoughts into words in an instant, so in a way you already have an inbuilt excuse. Try not to be too rude though.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 - Jan. 20):

A new moon in the area of your chart that governs your hopes and wishes will encourage you to take the kind of risks you usually prefer to avoid. There is no need to be secretive about your dreams and desires – let everyone know what you need.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 - Feb. 19):

Your fighting spirit will come to the fore today, most likely on the work front where you have no intention of playing second fiddle to people you consider to be your intellectual inferiors. Try not to make them look bad though – have a little compassion.

PISCES (Feb. 20 - Mar. 20):

Some of the plans you made earlier in the year will bear fruit over the next few days. You have every right to be pleased with yourself for making the right calls but don’t just sit back and look smug about it – there’s still a lot to be done.
