IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY

A sun-Saturn link on your birthday will help you focus on essentials and not waste so much time and energy on stuff that has no great meaning. Let people see you are serious about improving not only your own life but their lives as well.

ARIES (March 21 – April 20):

Don’t waste your time arguing with people who don’t share your values. Today’s sun-Saturn link means you will do best if you focus on what matters to you personally and ignore those who always seem so negative. You don’t need them.

TAURUS (April 21 – May 21):

You may not be an obvious deep thinker but you have your moments and one such moment will bring forth an idea that strikes you with the force of a thunderbolt today. Act on that idea immediately, because 24 hours from now it may no longer work.

GEMINI (May 22 – June 21):

The questions you ask of other people are not so important as the questions you ask of yourself. If your internal voice nags at you to focus on something of a personal nature today don’t try to ignore it, because it’s time this question was answered.

CANCER (June 22 – July 23):

As one of the zodiac’s cardinal signs it’s not unusual for you to clash with people whose outlook on life is at odds with your own. What you need to remember today is that though you won’t change them and they won’t change you, you can co-exist.

LEO (July 24 – Aug. 23):

The most important thing now is that you keep channels of communication open with someone who appears to disagree with you on just about every issue. Chances are your opinions are not as far apart as you think, so keep talking.

VIRGO (Aug. 24 – Sept. 23):

Try not to get bogged down in details today, because what is going on in your world requires you to stand back from events and see the bigger picture. The first thing you will notice is that your enemies could just as easily be allies.

LIBRA (Sept. 24 – Oct. 23):

Venus, your ruling planet, enters your own sign today and almost immediately you will sense that a shift is occurring that will tilt the world back in your favour. You may not get everything you wish for but you will get many things worth having.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24 – Nov. 22):

It is essential that you see people for what they really are rather than what they would like you to believe about them. Your keen Scorpio eye will pick up on a number of clues today － don’t be slow in acting on what they tell you.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 – Dec. 21):

The momentum you have built up in recent weeks will keep you going for some time, but as Venus moves into the networking area of your chart today it would be helpful if you could slow down a bit － not least because your friends can’t keep up.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 – Jan. 20):

If you have found the going tough on the work front of late things should become easier for you now that Venus is moving into the career area of your chart. Anyone who doubts you have what it takes to shine will soon be proved wrong.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 – Feb. 19):

Ask yourself what you would do in the world if you knew you could not fail, and then get on and do it. The cosmic forces are working in your favour at the moment, so if you believe in yourself and what you are doing success is all but guaranteed.

PISCES (Feb. 20 – Mar. 20):

It’s easy to be scared of things we don’t understand but it’s also easy, if we so choose, to face up to those things and refuse to feel threatened. If you look a particular fear squarely in the face today it will never bother you again.
