HOROSCOPES IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY
A Mars-Mercury link on your birthday this year will sharpen both your mind and your tongue but you must make sure that what you say is backed up by the facts 100 per cent. Wishful thinking is no substitute for knowing your subject from beginning to end.
ARIES (March 21 - April 20):
You can easily use your powers of persuasion to win people round to your way of thinking today but don’t pretend that you know all the facts. If there are any doubts about what you want them to do then you must be up front about it.
TAURUS (April 21 - May 21):
A partner or loved one won’t thank you for interfering in their personal affairs today but later on they will recognize not only that you had their interests at heart but that you were doing the right thing. The fact is you see more clearly than they do.
GEMINI (May 22 - June 21):
Good news is coming your way but you may miss it if you are so caught up in your own worries and woes. Yes, the world can be an unkind place at times but compared to the majority of mankind you are doing rather well. Celebrate that fact.
CANCER (June 22 - July 23):
You may be reluctant to turn down an offer of some sort, most likely because you don’t want to make someone angry and cause a scene, but if you are smart you will say “thanks but no thanks”. It’s your money and your reputation that is at stake.
LEO (July 24 - Aug. 23):
If you see or hear something to your advantage today don’t hesitate to make use of it. Some people might say you are taking too much of a risk but you have never been the sort to play it safe and are not about to start now.
VIRGO (Aug. 24 - Sept. 23):
A work colleague will try to saddle you with the blame for a mistake that was not entirely your fault. Don’t let them get away with it. If you are honest enough to hold up your hand and take responsibility then they must do likewise.
LIBRA (Sept. 24 - Oct. 23):
Even if you are the sort of Libra who sometimes has trouble getting your message across you will find your voice and have your say over the next 24 hours. Try not to be too strident in your opinions though. Let the facts make your case for you.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22):
If you believe that all things are possible then they will be, but don’t lose sight of the fact that it won’t just happen as if by magic – you still have to put in the hard yards. Fortunately, yours is a sign that knows what hard work is about.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 - Dec. 21):
You will find it easy to win friends and influence people today but having got their attention you will then have to deliver on your promises. Also, make sure that anything you want other people to do you are able to do yourself – in fact, do it first.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 - Jan. 20):
You will need to work closely with other people today if you are to reach the rather lofty goals you have set yourself. You may have ideas coming out of your ears, and energy to match, but it will take teamwork to make it happen.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 - Feb. 19):
You won’t lack for ideas over the next 24 hours but there is a danger you might try to do too much at once and end up accomplishing nothing at all. Take it one day at a time and one idea at a time. That’s more than enough.
PISCES (Feb. 20 - Mar. 20):
If you have something to say today then say it and don’t worry about offending people who may not agree with you. Both at home and at work the planets insist that you call it as you see it. The most important messages are rarely well accepted.
