HOROSCOPES IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY
You will have to deal with some strong-minded people over the coming year, the kind who expect more of you than you expect of yourself. Think of it as the universe’s way of getting you to raise your game. Competition is good for you.
ARIES (March 21 - April 20):
Make allowances for those who do not share your sense of adventure and don’t try to force them into doing the same things as you. Loved ones, especially, should be encouraged to be who they are, not who you would like them to be.
TAURUS (April 21 - May 21):
As one of the zodiac’s Earth sign you can be a bit cautious at times but now you will go right the other way and act outrageously. You will have a lot of fun annoying your conservative friends but don’t take it too far – there is always a limit.
GEMINI (May 22 - June 21):
An offer you receive out of the blue over the next 24 hours may be intriguing but is it the right one for you? The planets warn you must think long and hard before making a decision. Chances are it’s probably not as good as it sounds.
CANCER (June 22 - July 23):
Keep your schemes and dreams to yourself between now and the weekend, because if the wrong people get to hear about them they will go out of their way to scupper your plans. Not everyone wants to see you succeed, so you need to protect yourself.
LEO (July 24 - Aug. 23):
According to the planets you owe someone a favour and this would be the perfect time to pay them back in kind. The longer you leave it the harder it will be to come up with a suitable way to thank them for their generosity.
VIRGO (Aug. 24 - Sept. 23):
Everyone has limits, even a Virgo, and you may need to remind yourself of that fact today. If you expect too much of yourself you will probably fall short. If you expect too much of other people they are sure to disappoint you.
LIBRA (Sept. 24 - Oct. 23):
Mars in the career area of your chart makes you super ambitious but you need to be cautious too. The planets warn if you do something the powers that be disagree with it could have an adverse effect on your reputation. Why take chances?
SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22):
If you fall into the trap of thinking that nothing can possibly go wrong today then most likely it will. Is the universe having fun at your expense? Maybe. More likely though it is sending you a warning. Too much optimism is rarely a good thing.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 - Dec. 21):
What you do between now and the weekend won’t only affect your own prospects for success but will also affect loved ones, work colleagues and friends. Make sure your next move is one that both you and they can happily live with.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 - Jan. 20):
Mars in your opposite sign makes it hard to agree with what partners are doing, and just as hard for them to agree with what you are doing. You need to find a middle ground where you can work together for mutual benefit. Can’t see it? Look harder.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 - Feb. 19):
Although what you are working on appears to be going according to plan the planets warn there may be something that you have missed, something that could cause problems later on. Find out what that something is and deal with it at once.
PISCES (Feb. 20 - Mar. 20):
You may be tempted to give up on a creative activity that is taking more effort than you expected but don’t be hasty. The toughest part, actually starting, is already done and all you have to do now is keep going a little bit more every day.
