IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY

The universe is very much on your side now and that will continue over the coming 12 months. What would you do in life if you knew that you could not fail? Fix that desire in your mind and go after it with everything you’ve got.

ARIES (March 21 - April 20):

Say good things about the people you meet today, even though they may not always have said good things about you in the past. The planets indicate that if you show even a little bit of understanding the benefits could be massive, for everyone.

TAURUS (April 21 - May 21):

It may seem as if you are at the mercy of events, and maybe you are, but nothing bad will come of it so quit worrying. The next few weeks will see a gradual loosening of the ties that have been constricting you – and it will feel great!

GEMINI (May 22 - June 21):

You won’t lack for enthusiasm today but there will be times when your energy flags and those are the times when you must be sensible and slow down a bit. Even a Gemini has limits, so make sure you know where to draw the line.

CANCER (June 22 - July 23):

You cannot always believe what you are told, even when it comes from a source you believe you can trust, and what you are informed of today is in all probability complete and utter rubbish. Sometimes it’s okay to be a bit suspicious.

LEO (July 24 - Aug. 23):

You may have a strong opinion about something but how can you be sure it is the right opinion? The planets warn if you stick rigidly to one point of view you may overlook other possibilities that could do you a world of good.

VIRGO (Aug. 24 - Sept. 23):

Good ideas will come thick and fast over the next 24 hours but you must be selective as you cannot possibly make use of them all. What is your No. 1 aim, your most cherished ambition? Only follow up ideas that are directly linked to that.

LIBRA (Sept. 24 - Oct. 23):

Try not to push yourself too hard today, physically, mentally or emotionally. There may be a dozen and one things you want to get done but you are not superhuman and if you try to be there could be a big crash up ahead. Know your own limits.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22):

The more others complain that life is unfair the more you will go out of your way to prove them wrong. You are in one of those moods when even if your first, second and third goals are blocked you will still press on to the next.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 - Dec. 21):

Your passion for a project of a creative nature will take you a very long way between now and the end of the week. It may not be true that all things are possible but you will act as if it is and that’s what guarantees success.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 - Jan. 20):

So many of your colleagues talk a good game but then fail to deliver but you are different, you know what you are capable of and that consistent hard work is what makes it happen. Leave behind those who cannot keep pace with you.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 - Feb. 19):

You are never afraid to say what you think and what you tell a friend or work colleague today will be very much to the point, maybe brutally so. They won’t like it to begin with but later on they will thank you for your honesty.

PISCES (Feb. 20 - Mar. 20):

If you want to understand why a loved one is behaving in such a ridiculous fashion you need to step outside your own biases and try to see their situation through their eyes alone. A little bit of empathy will go a long way.
