IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY

If you want to move up in the world now is the time to get your act together and make your play for fame and fortune. You won’t lack for opportunities to impress and you certainly don’t lack for self-belief, and that’s a winning combination.

ARIES (March 21 - April 20):

You won’t care in the slightest if other people don’t approve of what you are up to this weekend but you should at least try to win them round to your way of thinking. If you explain it well enough they may even start supporting you.

TAURUS (April 21 - May 21):

Relationships on the work front are very much under the spotlight at the moment and you won’t be able to escape scrutiny just because it’s the weekend. Act as if your every word and action is being scrutinized by the powers that be.

GEMINI (May 22 - June 21):

Cosmic activity in the area of your chart that governs long-distance travel will encourage you to visit a place you have never been to before. Plan carefully so you get there on time and in one piece, and have plenty of adventures along the way!

CANCER (June 22 - July 23):

With so much activity taking place in one of the more passionate areas of your chart the intensity of your feelings will surprise you this weekend. Be warned: If you’ve got any secrets you may have a hard time keeping them to yourself.

LEO (July 24 - Aug. 23):

Partnership matters are going well for you now and will go even better over the next few days. It seems you can do no wrong in the eyes of the people who love you and the people you work with. Make that fact benefit you personally.

VIRGO (Aug. 24 - Sept. 23):

If you feel overwhelmed with what you are expected to do this weekend then you must get friends and family members to help you. They will gladly step in and shoulder some of the burden – but you have got to ask them first.

LIBRA (Sept. 24 - Oct. 23):

If you make an effort to do things for people this weekend they will go out of their way to do things for you in return. The Libra nature is all about balance and the good things you put out into the world will always come back to you.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22):

It will pay you to be decisive when dealing with issues of a personal nature. If you keep putting off what you think is going to be an uncomfortable situation it will get worse rather than better, so deal with it this very moment.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 - Dec. 21):

Get out and about and have fun this weekend. The planets are giving you the perfect excuse to let your hair down and maybe do a few things that will bring some regret tomorrow but have you laughing fit to bust today.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 - Jan. 20):

Cosmic activity in the financial area of your chart means you must keep a close eye on how much you spend. A few dollars here and a few dollars there could quickly add up to a lot more than you thought you were going to spend!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 - Feb. 19):

No objective is too much for you now and what you start over the next 48 hours is sure to become a massive success. But don’t start too much. Be selective in your aims so you can focus your energy on what brings the best returns.

PISCES (Feb. 20 - Mar. 20):

There will be times this weekend when you want nothing more than to switch off from the world. So why don’t you? Find a quiet place where you can cut out all the noise and confusion and be alone with your thoughts.
