IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY

There are two ways of doing things: the hard way and the sensible way. The message of your birthday chart is that you will enjoy considerable success this year, simply by refusing to make life difficult for yourself. Always take the easy route.

ARIES (March 21 – April 20):

If you want to get the best out of life this weekend you must give the best of yourself, and if you can help other people live their best lives as well you might just change the world. One generous person can make a really big difference.

TAURUS (April 21 – May 21):

The sun in your sign links with Jupiter, planet of good fortune, this weekend, so if you are confident about what you are doing and prepared to push yourself a little bit harder than usual there is really no limit to what you can achieve.

GEMINI (May 22 – June 21):

You have never been the sort to feel sorry for yourself and even though not everything will go right for you over the next 48 hours you will keep believing and keep pushing until your luck turns for the better － and that will be soon.

CANCER (June 22 – July 23):

Get together with people who share your beliefs and find ways you can make the world you live in a better place. Start with your own neighbourhood. Charity may begin at home but it can very quickly spread far and wide.

LEO (July 24 – Aug. 23):

It won’t be long before you are moving up in the world but have you a reason for being so ambitious? Money and power are nice, of course, but how can you use those things to improve other people’s lives? Give it some thought this weekend.

VIRGO (Aug. 24 – Sept. 23):

It is of the utmost importance that you stay true to your principles over the next 48 hours. No matter how much people in positions of power try to coerce you into doing things you know are wrong you can and you must stand your ground.

LIBRA (Sept. 24 – Oct. 23):

Just because you don’t understand why certain things are happening does not mean it’s okay to ignore them. Make it your business this weekend to dig deeper into the fabric of current events. Some of the things you find may shock you.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24 – Nov. 22):

The sun in the partnership area of your chart links with Jupiter today, making it easy for you to reach out to people and make a connection. Don’t limit yourself to people you know, be open to newcomers on your social scene as well.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 – Dec. 21):

You may feel unprepared for the challenges up ahead but yours is one of the most adaptable signs of the zodiac and you will find a way to cope. As always, looks count for a lot, so pretend you are confident even if you don’t feel it.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 – Jan. 20):

The sun and Jupiter will lift your mood this weekend and others may be surprised by how sunny and carefree you are. You have done enough worrying in recent weeks, now enjoy a few days where happiness is your primary concern.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 – Feb. 19):

The fact that a goal seems beyond your reach must not be allowed to stop you from going after it. It is only by stretching yourself that you will discover how much more you are capable of － and the planets suggest that is a lot.

PISCES (Feb. 20 – Mar. 20):

You will be even more open and outgoing than usual this weekend and everyone you meet will be impressed by your positive spin on events. The world needs more people like you, people who look on the bright side even in the darkest of times.
