IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY
A Venus-Mars link on your birthday will do wonders for your ability to win people round to your way of thinking, but is it the right way of thinking? It’s time to look beyond methods and routines that may very soon be out of fashion.
ARIES (March 21 – April 20):
If you need to improve your image in the world at large you could start by trying to be a bit more open about your feelings. Today’s link between your ruler Mars and Venus will help but ultimately it’s you who must strive to show some empathy.
TAURUS (April 21 – May 21):
If you can force yourself to act decisively today, even though you have your doubts about what you are doing, the results will be nothing less than electrifying. People in positions of authority will be impressed by your can-do approach to life.
GEMINI (May 22 – June 21):
Ignore those who criticize you for no good reason and channel all your energy into making the best possible job of what you are doing. Most likely those people are simply afraid that you will outsmart and outshine them – and they’re right, you will.
CANCER (June 22 – July 23):
Someone will show how grateful they are for what you have done for them in recent weeks by handing you something of value. It may not be quite what you wanted but it’s the thought that counts, so don’t be slow to show your appreciation.
LEO (July 24 – Aug. 23):
It’s not like you to shrink back from a chance for adventure but something seems to be worrying you about what friends and loved ones are suggesting you do together. Come the end of the week their ideas will look more attractive, so give it time.
VIRGO (Aug. 24 – Sept. 23):
You cannot afford to let someone with a more dominant personality coerce you into doing things you would not choose to do if left to your own devices. If you don’t stand up for yourself now it may be harder to do so later on.
LIBRA (Sept. 24 – Oct. 23):
Venus links nicely with energy planet Mars today, which will help you to finalize your plans, but because your ruler is currently going through its retrograde phase you may find it hard to get started. No matter, it’s not a race against the clock.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24 – Nov. 22):
Make it your No. 1 aim today to find out what has been holding you back. Most likely it is nothing more than your own secret fears, so toughen up, deal with those fears once and for all, and then move on without looking back.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 – Dec. 21):
You don’t lack for ideas but it is an idea that someone else has today that will inspire you to set off in a radically new direction. They don’t own that idea, so there is no reason why you should not adapt it for your own needs.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 – Jan. 20):
By all means focus on the good things in life but don’t lose sight of the fact that there is one very prominent issue that needs to be dealt with sooner rather than later. If you focus on that issue today it won’t bother you much longer.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 – Feb. 19):
Now that you can see what has been going on in your working environment you can do something about it. The fact is a change is needed, so look around for other options and don’t be afraid to take a leap into the unknown.
PISCES (Feb. 20 – Mar. 20):
Cosmic activity in the work area of your chart makes it clear that if you don’t adapt to changing circumstances you could get left behind. Make it your business today to work out how new technologies can help you be a lot more productive.
