IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY

A birthday new moon is an omen of great success but to make the most of it you must bring your ambitions down to earth. It’s good to aim high, but why risk disappointment when a slightly lower target would bring just as much happiness?

ARIES (March 21 – April 20):

If you need to improve your money situation this weekend’s new moon will help you find ways to make more cash. Don’t copy ideas that other people have already exploited, come up with new ones that are unique to you personally.

TAURUS (April 21 – May 21):

If you start something big this weekend you will make the kind of name for yourself that opens doors on both a social and a business level. The new moon in your sign means there are no limits to what you can achieve, or who you can impress.

GEMINI (May 22 – June 21):

You may feel sorry for a friend who is down on their luck but you must not allow your grief to stop you from pushing ahead with your plans. Help them if you can but recognize that ultimately they can only help themselves.

CANCER (June 22 – July 23):

Friends are always a joy but over the next 48 hours they will be the most important people in your life. What you do with others is guaranteed to be a huge success from the word go, so get together and make magic happen.

LEO (July 24 – Aug. 23):

Anything to do with your career is under excellent stars, so push ahead on the work front and believe that every effort you make will result in big gains for you and for those who support you. Everyone wants to be on your side.

VIRGO (Aug. 24 – Sept. 23):

You need to stretch your mind more and what occurs over the next 48 hours will provide you with the opportunity to put your brain to the test. You may not always be the most creative thinker but you can see patterns that most people miss.

LIBRA (Sept. 24 – Oct. 23):

What happens this weekend will help you make sense of a situation that has left you in a state of confusion. Most likely you were unable to see the big picture but once you do there will be no doubt in your mind what must be done next.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24 – Nov. 22):

If there are any lingering tensions with a friend or a family member now is the time to resolve them. The new moon in your opposite sign will encourage a frank exchange of views and make it easier to reach a compromise you can both agree on.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 – Dec. 21):

This is a time of new beginnings and the new moon will make it easy for you to sweep away outdated methods and routines and replace them with up-to-the-minute techniques that save time, money and energy － and maybe your sanity as well.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 – Jan. 20):

Set your sights high this weekend and refuse to settle for anything less than excellence from yourself, from your friends and from your loved ones as well. Not everyone will be able to meet your standards but you must encourage them to try.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 – Feb. 19):

If someone you are close to needs emotional assistance this weekend you must do your best to support them. Your brand of rigorous common sense could be just what they need to get them thinking and feeling along more positive lines.

PISCES (Feb. 20 – Mar. 20):

It’s not like you to hold back in your opinions but before you open your mouth this weekend think what your words might cost you if you annoy someone important. Do you really need to be so abrasive? Of course not, so think before you speak.
