HOROSCOPES IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY
You need to keep matters of friendship and matters of finance as far apart as possible over the coming year. Social occasions and business activities will both go well, but if you allow them to overlap the resulting confusing could cost everyone money.
ARIES (March 21 - April 20):
Mercury, planet of communication, is strong in your chart today, which could work for you or against you. It is more likely to be a positive influence if you make a conscious effort to curb the sarcastic side of your nature. People don’t like being ridiculed.
TAURUS (April 21 - May 21):
You will make an extra special effort to help a friend or relative who needs your assistance today, but you probably won’t get much thanks for it. That’s okay. You are not helping them because you want praise but because you want to do good.
GEMINI (May 22 - June 21):
Whatever you try to do today something is likely to happen that scuppers your plans, which is frustrating to say the least. However, a few days from now you may look back and be thankful the universe stepped in to stop you making a fool of yourself.
CANCER (June 22 - July 23):
There will be times today when, for no apparent reason, your confidence deserts you. The good news is there are absolutely no grounds for believing that you should fear the worst. Ignore any irrational anxieties you may have and carry on as before.
LEO (July 24 - Aug. 23):
Mercury moves into the career area of your chart today, so you won’t lack for ideas about how to improve your chances of professional success. However, as Mercury also squares up to Pluto you must make sure that colleagues and employers don’t feel threatened.
VIRGO (Aug. 24 - Sept. 23):
Try to keep your more critical comments to yourself today. You can be a bit intimidating at times, especially when you use that big brain of yours to prove you know better than other people. It may be true but don’t make a big deal of it.
LIBRA (Sept. 24 - Oct. 23):
Think carefully before volunteering for a task you don’t know much about. The powers that be may be impressed by your can-do attitude but if you take on too much and make a mess of the job it won’t look good on your end of year report.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22):
Steer clear of situations where you are not in full control of events. Your confidence may be high at the moment but that won’t be enough to guarantee success or protect you from rivals who would like nothing better than to see you fail.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 - Dec. 21):
The more other people try to talk down your abilities today the more you will strive to show them that you have what it takes. Just be careful they don’t lead you into a trap by setting goals they know are well beyond even your capabilities.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 - Jan. 20):
It is of the utmost importance that you know what you are talking about today, because if you guess or exaggerate even a little bit your enemies will use that against you. Not even the most well-informed Sag should claim to know it all.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 - Feb. 19):
It’s not like you to let self-doubt hold you back but today’s Mercury-Pluto link will have you thinking the worst about a situation that nine times out of ten would not worry you in the slightest. Maybe that’s good, maybe you do need to give it more thought.
PISCES (Feb. 20 - Mar. 20):
Mercury moves into the most outgoing area of your chart today, so you won’t be shy about speaking your mind. However, some of your ideas might be a bit too outrageous for some people’s tastes, so be smart and think before you speak.
