IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY
Draw a line under the past and promise yourself that from here on in yesterday’s limitations no longer have any kind of hold over you. The world is yours to enjoy as you see fit, so create a new story for yourself and live it to the full.
ARIES (March 21 – April 20):
With both Mercury and Venus ending their retrograde phases today a number of things will suddenly become clear that before you found hard to understand. No doubt you will kick yourself mentally when you realize how simple it all was.
TAURUS (April 21 – May 21):
You may be inclined to condemn someone for the actions they recently took but they did what they did because they were operating on limited information, not because they were wicked. That was then and this is now, so forgive, forget and move on.
GEMINI (May 22 – June 21):
You may have kept a low profile while your ruling planet Mercury was going through its retrograde phase, but now you can come out of the shadows and reveal your true self to the world. You will be in the spotlight again in a matter of days.
CANCER (June 22 – July 23):
Whatever has been holding you back will no longer be able to dictate where you go and what you do. With Mercury and Venus moving in your favour again both personal and professional restrictions will happily disappear. Don’t go mad though!
LEO (July 24 – Aug. 23):
If you have been a bit too pushy when dealing with friends and family members in recent weeks then what happens today and over the weekend will give you the chance to make amends. To put it bluntly, let them make their own choices.
VIRGO (Aug. 24 – Sept. 23):
There have been a number of occasions in recent weeks when you felt it necessary to say things that you knew could hurt a loved one’s feelings. Now you must let them know that you did so from the best of motives. They will understand.
LIBRA (Sept. 24 – Oct. 23):
Stop trying so hard to stay on top of things and let the universe work it out for you. With your ruler Venus coming to the end of its retrograde phase you can afford to be more laid back in your dealings with the world. Life is not a competition.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24 – Nov. 22):
Now that mind planet Mercury is moving in your favour again it will become clear what you have been doing wrong and what needs to be done to make it go right again. Relying a little less on knee-jerk reactions might be a good place to start.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 – Dec. 21):
It will annoy you when you realize that the only thing that held you back recently was your own inability to look past surface appearances. It’s not your fault that other people tried to disguise their true feelings, but you did not have to believe them.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 – Jan. 20):
You may not have the exact qualifications needed to fill a particular position but you do have the energy and the ambition to learn as you go along. If there is a job or task you would like to apply for today don’t hesitate, just go for it!
AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 – Feb. 19):
You don’t have to be overly forceful to get things done today. In fact, you may find that friends and colleagues more readily go along with your proposals if you encourage them to believe it was their ideas that inspired you in the first place.
PISCES (Feb. 20 – Mar. 20):
It does not matter what went wrong yesterday or the day before, the only thing that matters is what you can make go right today and in all the days to follow right up to the end of the year. Transform your life for the better, starting now.
