IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY
A Mars-Pluto link on your birthday will make it hard for you to get along with certain people, but maybe you have been depending too much on them and need to put some distance between you. Focus more on what you can do for yourself this year.
ARIES (March 21 – April 20):
You will find yourself torn between two offers this weekend and if you don’t make up your mind quickly, you could end up getting the one that will do you less good. Don’t let your hesitation make it easy for a rival to steal in ahead of you.
TAURUS (April 21 – May 21):
Venus, your ruler, begins its retrograde phase in the partnership area of your chart this weekend, so where friendships and affairs of the heart are concerned you will need to tread carefully. Don’t promise now what you may not be able to deliver later on.
GEMINI (May 22 – June 21):
The fact that you have been working extremely hard of late has not gone unnoticed, but there are no guarantees you will be rewarded for it. That’s okay. Since when did you go looking for applause? A job well done is its own reward.
CANCER (June 22 – July 23):
Cosmic activity in the most dynamic area of your chart will make it easy for you to express yourself this weekend, but you must make sure every word you say is backed up by facts. If you tell even the smallest of lies you will be found out.
LEO (July 24 – Aug. 23):
If someone you love is feeling a bit down this weekend make it your business to cheer them up. You don’t have to crack jokes or turn somersaults but if you point out to them how much life is worth living they will soon be smiling again.
VIRGO (Aug. 24 – Sept. 23):
Your insights into what makes other people tick are usually spot on but for some reason your judgment seems a bit skewed at the moment. Maybe it’s because they are trying harder than usual to disguise their true intentions. Find out why.
LIBRA (Sept. 24 – Oct. 23):
You may be tempted to cash in your gains and walk away with a handsome profit but the planets urge you to wait a bit. With your ruling planet Venus beginning its retrograde phase you may not be as financially secure as you think you are.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24 – Nov. 22):
You won’t see eye-to-eye with a friend or loved one over the next 48 hours but that does not mean you have to fall out with each other. You are still on the same overall wavelength, so focus on what you agree on and ignore the rest.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 – Dec. 21):
It’s not like you to get emotional about things that don’t affect you personally but something you see or hear today could reduce you to a sobbing wreck. If nothing else, it will remind those who doubt it that you are human like everyone else.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 – Jan. 20):
You may not enjoy being the centre of attention this weekend but that’s too bad because all eyes will be on you. The best thing you can do is put on a show and then walk away leaving them wanting more. They’ll think it’s part of the act.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 – Feb. 19):
Upheavals on the work front are likely this weekend but they will be minor in nature, so don’t make a big issue of them. People in positions of power will be watching you closely and will be mightily impressed if you take it all in stride.
PISCES (Feb. 20 – Mar. 20):
You are in no mood to care what other people think about your words and deeds, and that’s good, but don’t take it too far and be so provocative that you turn even friends against you. Make controlling your feelings your number one priority.
