IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY
Try not to be quite so serious about what you do in your life. So many things that look important now may turn out later to be of no real significance at all. Also, recognize that it’s relationships that matter, not what you achieve in the material world.
ARIES (March 21 - April 20):
You desperately need to rest and recharge your physical, mental and emotional batteries. Also, as Mercury, planet of the mind, starts its retrograde phase today, you are advised not to begin anything new. What a great excuse for doing nothing!
TAURUS (April 21 - May 21):
Question everything you are told today, even if those doing the telling are people you trust. According to the planets it is more than likely that they have got the wrong end of the stick. Check everything you hear – then check again to be sure.
GEMINI (May 22 - June 21):
You must be realistic about your ambitions. The planets indicate that you will taste success, but you will taste it sooner and the taste will be sweeter if you keep your feet on the ground. There is no point aiming for things you cannot reach.
CANCER (June 22 - July 23):
The only thing that can hold you back today is if you let negative thoughts get the upper hand. Stop worrying about what might go wrong in your life and start thinking about all the wonderful things that could still go right – and believe that they will.
LEO (July 24 - Aug. 23):
You seem to believe that people you live or work with have been talking behind your back, and maybe they have. However, as mind planet Mercury begins its retrograde phase today there is a very good chance that you are imagining things.
VIRGO (Aug. 24 - Sept. 23):
Don’t think too much of it if you find it hard to get your point across to others today. With your ruling planet Mercury turning retrograde in your opposite sign you just have to accept that communications will be more difficult than usual.
LIBRA (Sept. 24 - Oct. 23):
Work only at the pace you feel comfortable with, because if you push yourself too hard you could run out of steam and end up a long way short of where you hoped you would be. Everyone has limits – yes, even a Libra – so be sensible about your ambitions.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22):
You don’t need to make excuses for your failures. And you don’t need to try again at things you got wrong in the past. Forget about everything you did or did not do before today and focus only on the future – it’s brighter than you think.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 - Dec. 21):
Someone you have dealings with will be rather irritable today, so watch what you say or you could find yourself arguing over the most trivial of things. If possible, put some distance between you – you don’t want to risk their bad mood rubbing off on you!
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 - Jan. 20):
Make sure you know all the facts before offering an opinion on an issue of the day that tends to polarize people. It might even be best to pretend that you have no strong preferences one way or the other, at least for the next three or four days.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 - Feb. 19):
You need to slow your life down a bit today, because if you rush things you could make the kind of mistake that is hard to put right. Hold back for a while and let others take the lead – so you can learn from their mistakes.
PISCES (Feb. 20 - Mar. 20):
Make sure you have a clear idea of what it is you are trying to achieve, because if your mind is confused you could find yourself going round in circles. Don’t rush yourself though – it may take several weeks before you know for sure what you should be doing.
