IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY

Venus and Mars join forces on your birthday, so if you are in the market for romance you will find yourself spoilt for choice. And if you are already partnered up your affections will grow stronger and deeper. Whatever the question, love is the answer.

ARIES (March 21 - April 20):

If you are looking to move up on the work front you should be making special efforts to impress your employer and senior colleagues. With Mars, your ruler, joining forces with Venus no one will be able to resist your ambition, or your charm.

TAURUS (April 21 - May 21):

Are you fed up with the same old places and the same old faces? Then get up and go somewhere different today. Venus, your ruler, linked to Mars in the most adventurous area of your chart will make it easy to blaze a new trail.

GEMINI (May 22 - June 21):

If someone lets you in on a secret today you must not betray their trust by passing the information on to your friends. Why would you want to anyway when being in the know gives you a potential flying start over your rivals?

CANCER (June 22 - July 23):

There have been times in recent weeks when it seemed as if the world was against you but what occurs over the next 24 hours will make it clear that you have got it completely wrong. The world actually wants you to make a success of your life.

LEO (July 24 - Aug. 23):

Activities of a physical nature will do you a heap of good mentally and emotionally today. Not only that but with Venus and Mars, the relationship planets, on excellent terms you could find love when out and about and enjoying the world.

VIRGO (Aug. 24 - Sept. 23):

This is one of the most dynamic times of the year and to make the most of it you must allow yourself to believe that the people you work and do business with are as keen as you to achieve remarkable things. Why not achieve them together?

LIBRA (Sept. 24 - Oct. 23):

Don’t sit at home waiting for good things to happen – get out into the world and make them happen. Venus, your ruling planet, is on good terms with energy planet Mars today, so even the smallest of efforts will yield significant rewards.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22):

Your way with words is strong thanks to cosmic activity in the communications area of your chart, but it’s your body language that will speak loudest today. What it will be telling the world is that, having reached the top, you intend to stay there.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 - Dec. 21):

Don’t worry if you find it hard to get motivated today. It won’t do you any harm to sit back and take it easy for a bit and may in fact do you some good. For best results, share this precious moment of downtime with someone you love.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 - Jan. 20):

A wonderful Venus-Mars union in your sign will encourage you to believe that everything is going to work out fine. That applies to all areas of your life but especially to partnerships and relationships. It’s okay to let your heart rule your head.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 - Feb. 19):

Try not to take what other people say and do too seriously today. Some of your friends love making a drama out of a crisis but you are in no way obliged to join them in their negativity. Associate only with people who lift your spirits.

PISCES (Feb. 20 - Mar. 20):

Ignore those who say you are on the wrong track. Not only are they wrong but they may be deliberately trying to confuse you. Why would they want to do that? Because they can’t stand to see you doing so well and enjoying life so much.
