IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY

You will achieve so much more this year if you make an effort to reach out to people who share your ambitions. They may not be on quite the same level as you but your aims and abilities are close enough for you to work profitably together.

Aries (March 21 - April 20):

Because the sun moves into the well-being area of your chart tomorrow this is the perfect time to stop what you are doing and ask yourself, seriously, if maybe you have been doing too much. Aim for quality rather than quantity in future.

Taurus (April 21 - May 21):

Do what you want to do rather than what friends and loved ones expect you to do. As the sun is about to move into the most dynamic area of your chart you will encounter no end of opportunities to shine, so be sure to please yourself.

Gemini (May 22 - June 21):

You need to accept that family members are going to be quite demanding over the next few weeks and that you have an obligation to help them. But you also need to schedule some downtime for yourself, because without it your energy will nosedive .

Cancer (June 22 - July 23):

Why so serious? Why so cautious? As the sun is about to enter the area of your chart that governs social activities you can and you must get out into the world and have a good time. There’s no law that says you mustn’t enjoy yourself.

Leo (July 24 - Aug. 23):

You may have to cut back on your spending today but a few weeks from now you will look back and recognize it was the right thing to do. Sometimes you get so carried away that you don’t realize how much your desires are costing you.

Virgo (Aug. 24 - Sept. 23):

It may be hard to believe that all things are possible but if you put it to the test today, tomorrow and over the weekend you will accomplish something amazing. Don’t hold yourself back in any way, shape or form – give life your very best shot.

Libra (Sept. 24 - Oct. 23):

You usually come across as super self-confident but the sun’s move into the most sensitive area of your chart tomorrow could put a dent in the mask you wear. It’s all in the mind though – you’re as tough or as weak as you choose to be.

Scorpio (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22):

Try not to be too impatient with other people today. You will be on top of your game but not everyone is as switched on as you, so make allowances and remember that at some stage you may need assistance from those very same people.

Sagittarius (Nov. 23 - Dec. 21):

You expect a lot of yourself but sometimes you go too far and take on challenges that even Superman might turn down. Before you do anything strenuous today remind yourself that you are human and that you have limits like everyone else.

Capricorn (Dec. 22 - Jan. 20):

When the sun moves into the most adventurous area of your chart tomorrow so many of the things you have been worrying about will fade away. Don’t think too much about it though, just focus on having fun with your friends.

Aquarius (Jan. 21 - Feb. 19):

You need to get serious about your money situation. If you are struggling to make ends meet don’t keep that fact to yourself, let loved ones know about it and make it clear you would welcome their assistance. You will get it.

Pisces (Feb. 20 - Mar. 20):

A friend or loved one could become more demanding over the next few days but it is your choice whether or not you help them out. Don’t be fooled if they turn on the tears because it’s most likely a ploy to appeal to your generous nature.
