IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY
You need to be realistic about what you can accomplish over the coming year but you need to aim high at the same time. That might sound contradictory but if you know your limits you will also know how far you may be able to push them.
ARIES (March 21 – April 20):
If you allow a debate of some kind to get out of hand today you could fall out with people it would have been better to stay on good terms with. Whatever the topic of your heated discussion may be you must strive to keep it civilized.
TAURUS (April 21 – May 21):
The effects of yesterday’s full moon will be felt for a day or two yet, so you need to be aware that tempers could flare for no apparent reason. By all means defend your position, be it physical or intellectual, but don’t go to war over it.
GEMINI (May 22 – June 21):
If you align yourself with the minority viewpoint today you must be ready for some sort of backlash. Those who don’t share your ability to think outside the box won’t appreciate your willingness to look at possibilities they don’t understand.
CANCER (June 22 – July 23):
You do some of your best work under pressure, so you should be hugely successful today. The fact that so many people are lined up against you will be seen as a challenge to be taken on rather than as a threat to run away from.
LEO (July 24 – Aug. 23):
Try not to think in terms of all or nothing. So many problems in the world come from people adopting a viewpoint at one extreme or the other and failing to see there is also a middle ground — which is where the best answers tend to reside.
VIRGO (Aug. 24 – Sept. 23):
The lingering effects of yesterday’s full moon will cause some people to overreact when confronted by situations they don’t understand or are unable to control, but you are too smart for that. Take what occurs today in your stride, and keep moving ahead.
LIBRA (Sept. 24 – Oct. 23):
If people you work with are too scared to start something new that’s up to them, but don’t let their fears hold you back. The sun in your sign gives you a high degree of protection when it comes to taking calculated risks, so why worry?
SCORPIO (Oct. 24 – Nov. 22):
If a project of some kind was brought to a halt by yesterday’s full moon you can now think about getting it started again. But don’t rush in and make a mistake that could bring it to a halt all over again. Take your time and get it right.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 – Dec. 21):
You may not be the most patient of people but you can sense if you move too fast or too soon your plans could go horribly awry. There isn’t a deadline that has to be met, nor will you lose out if you choose to hold back a bit.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 – Jan. 20):
Listen to what other people have to tell you today but use your own judgment every step of the way. The planets warn that the viewpoints you hear will only be a part of the overall truth, and most likely a very small part at that.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 – Feb. 19):
You may not be in the mood for small talk but you do need to keep channels of communication open in case something of importance needs to be discussed. That applies especially to your work environment, where some interesting things will be going on.
PISCES (Feb. 20 – Mar. 20):
There is no point worrying about what other people may be thinking and doing. The only things you have any control over at the moment are your own thought processes and your own decisions, so think hard and then act forcefully and fearlessly.
