HOROSCOPES IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY
Make sure you spell out in plain and simple language what it is you expect of family, friends and colleagues over the coming year. If you leave them in any doubt they will have to guess and almost certainly get it wrong. Make your words count.
ARIES (March 21 - April 20):
Don’t let yourself get dragged into an argument or dispute that is none of your business. You may be a take-no-prisoners sort of person but there are some battles it is better to avoid and this current conflict is clearly one of them.
TAURUS (April 21 - May 21):
Make sure you think with your head as well as your heart over the coming week. Just because you have feelings for someone does not mean you should put those feelings ahead of common sense. On this occasion it’s facts alone that matter.
GEMINI (May 22 - June 21):
A partnership may be going through a stressful time but things might be better if you did not expect so much of each other. Sit down together and discuss what it is that seems to divide you. You may be surprised to discover it’s not much at all.
CANCER (June 22 - July 23):
Keep certain thoughts to yourself, especially if they are the kind that could upset people of a sensitive disposition. Mars in your sign makes you rather aggressive at times and while that is generally a good thing it can result in unnecessary friction.
LEO (July 24 - Aug. 23):
You know you’re a winner. You know you’ve got what it takes. So why are you in such a defensive mood at the moment? Even if your critics are baying for your blood you must be true to your nature and take the fight back to them.
VIRGO (Aug. 24 - Sept. 23):
Draw a line under the past and refuse to pay any more attention to those thoughts of regret that keep creeping back. What’s done is done and cannot be undone, so move on and focus only on the present moment. You’ll sleep better for it.
LIBRA (Sept. 24 - Oct. 23):
Hopefully you are smart enough to realize that if you do what an authority figure expects of you the results could be extraordinary. Their aims and your aims may not be in complete alignment but they are close enough to make an alliance work.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22):
There will be times over the next few days when you find it impossible to decide who can be trusted and who must be kept at arm’s length. The good news is you don’t need to make an immediate decision. Give the situation time to sort itself out.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 - Dec. 21):
If you rise to the challenge you are confronted with this coming week you will impress a lot of people, some of whom could be useful to you in the near future. Don’t worry that you might be aiming too high – for you there are no limits.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 - Jan. 20):
Listen to those who counsel caution over the next few days but ignore their advice if you trust yourself enough to make a success of what you are planning. The planets suggest that if you follow your instincts you could be on to something good.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 - Feb. 19):
If you want something done well this week you are going to have to do it yourself. Some of your partners are so caught up in their own imaginary woes that they will be of no use to you at all. You don’t need them. Go it alone.
PISCES (Feb. 20 - Mar. 20):
You seem to believe that a work colleague has got it in for you but it’s more likely that your imagination is playing tricks on you. Push your doubts to the back of your mind and push ahead with your plans whether others believe in you or not.
