IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY
Whatever it is you choose to focus on over the coming year, you must resolve right from the start to give it your all every second of every day. Others may have more talent than you, but few possess your drive and your determination to succeed.
ARIES (March 21 – April 20):
You may be tempted to hide yourself away from the world today, but that would be a big mistake. You need to get out there and show everyone that even when you are operating at less than 100 per cent you are still a force to be reckoned with.
TAURUS (April 21 – May 21):
If you have got something planned today, then you must push ahead with it even if the people who were going to accompany you decide to pull out. You don’t need them by your side, you just need to be confident in your own abilities.
GEMINI (May 22 – June 21):
Your feelings for a certain person will be surprisingly intense today. The fact that you managed to keep your emotions under wraps for so long means they were sure to come to the surface sooner or later, and sooner is more preferable by far.
CANCER (June 22 – July 23):
Try not to be suspicious if someone you would hesitate to call a friend wants to do something good for you. The planets indicate their intentions are true and that you have nothing to fear from allowing them to guide you in a new direction.
LEO (July 24 – Aug. 23):
If you try to force your opinions on other people today they will kick back at you, not because they disagree with what you say but because they don’t like being lectured. Even if you know you are right don’t make a big deal of it.
VIRGO (Aug. 24 – Sept. 23):
Mercury’s link to Mars will put you in an adventurous frame of mind, and if you get the chance to do something out of the ordinary today, you won’t hesitate for even a moment. Deep down you know this is not the time to play it safe.
LIBRA (Sept. 24 – Oct. 23):
Mercury in the most sensitive area of your chart will make you a bit touchy today, and with Mars in the picture as well, you could say things you later wish you had not. Think before you speak and, if possible, say only nice things.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24 – Nov. 22):
Cosmic activity in the wellbeing area of your chart means you need to take care when dealing with people whose outlook on life may not be as positive as your own. They certainly won’t be as adventurous as you, so don’t expect too much of them.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 – Dec. 21):
Be honest and let friends and loved ones know how you feel today, but try not to be brutal about it. You may find it easy to shrug off criticism, but not everyone is blessed with your thick skin, so find ways to make “no” sound like “yes.”
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 – Jan. 20):
You may be in the right, and you may have all the facts and figures to back up your case, but that won’t mean a thing to those who are determined to disagree with you. Don’t waste your time arguing with them, they’re not worth the effort.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 – Feb. 19):
If you trust someone to make social or travel arrangements for you today, there is a danger they will mess it up, so do it yourself even if there are a dozen other things you would rather be doing with your time. Trust no one but yourself.
PISCES (Feb. 20 – Mar. 20):
If you let a colleague know you have doubts about their ability to complete a certain task, they could lose heart and fail even quicker than you expected. Instead, talk up their chances and pretend you believe in them. They may surprise you.
