IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY
Mars and Pluto link up on your birthday, making it easy to design your plans in secret and carry them out without any kind of input from other people. Your self-sufficiency will not go unnoticed, though you could not care less about praise.
ARIES (March 21 – April 20):
What occurs next may seem like a setback but if you look at the situation a little more closely you will understand that you are being forced to take it easy for the sake of your own wellbeing. Be kind to yourself as the new week begins.
TAURUS (April 21 – May 21):
The kind of pressure you have been under of late would crush most other people but you are made of sterner stuff and have no intention of giving up. The fact that you can see so many of your rivals dropping out will inspire you to carry on.
GEMINI (May 22 – June 21):
You will insist on having your own way, and you will get it, but as the new week dawns you will realize you were being a little too pushy. If you offend a loved one you would do well to apologize and make it up to them quickly.
CANCER (June 22 – July 23):
The sun in your sign begins the week at odds with Saturn, which suggests you could be on the receiving end of criticism for not having properly completed a task. Don’t argue back, just make sure you do it the right way next time.
LEO (July 24 – Aug. 23):
Even if you are the sort of Leo who is always smiling the early part of the week could be a bit of a letdown. Remind yourself that most of the world’s population would happily change places with you － a thought that should cheer you up.
VIRGO (Aug. 24 – Sept. 23):
Don’t waste your time trying to impose your views on other people, because they have no intention of listening. The message of the stars for the week ahead is that the less others know about your opinions the easier life will be for everyone.
LIBRA (Sept. 24 – Oct. 23):
You will be incredibly ambitious over the next few days but you need to be sensible about the goals you decide to set for yourself. Even a Libra has limits and if you aim too high you may never even get your feet off the ground.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24 – Nov. 22):
Any plans you have to be on the move over the next few days may need to be postponed in the light of new information. It may be annoying but it’s no big deal, so take it in your stride. You will be on the go again soon.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 – Dec. 21):
You don’t mind taking risks but you do mind losing money because of other people’s silly mistakes, so make sure you are in control of the purse strings over the next few days. You may sometimes be reckless, but you are never stupid.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 – Jan. 20):
With your ruler Saturn at odds with the sun during the early part of the week you may find that even the simplest plan falls foul of bad luck or the bad judgment of colleagues. If at all possible, go it alone for the next few days.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 – Feb. 19):
You may not want to take a backseat to someone who in your opinion is not as smart as you are but you probably won’t get the choice. If someone pulls rank on you this week just accept it and don’t make a fuss.
PISCES (Feb. 20 – Mar. 20):
Anyone who thinks you lack self-discipline will see a very different sort of Pisces this coming week. True, your newly discovered self-control won’t last for long, but it will show you can do it if you want to. You just don’t usually want to!
