IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY
A Mars-Neptune link on your birthday will boost both your creative powers and your ability to communicate your ideas to other people. It will also help you to see beyond superficial everyday things to the spiritual reality on which the universe is built.
ARIES (March 21 - April 20):
Employers and other important people are not as aloof as you might imagine, so pluck up the courage to talk to them and make sure they know who you are and what you can do. They will be impressed by your confidence and reward you generously.
TAURUS (April 21 - May 21):
You seem to be on a bit of a lucky streak at the moment and it should continue well into the new year. Good fortune is most likely to come from people who share your intellectual outlook on life – and maybe your romantic sensibilities too!
GEMINI (May 22 - June 21):
The planets warn you need to be ready for a sharp increase in the number of chores and duties you are expected to take on. That's the bad news. The good news is that you can easily get others to help you lighten the load. Just ask.
CANCER (June 22 - July 23):
Even if you are the kind of Crab who dislikes letting your feelings show you won't be able to put on an icy front today. Your emotions will be easily read from your eyes, so either get some dark glasses or learn how to control your moods.
LEO (July 24 - Aug. 23):
Pretending that a problem does not exist won't make it go away – in fact it may even get worse. The sooner you accept that fact the sooner you can move on from the mind games you've been playing with yourself to the decisions that need to be made.
VIRGO (Aug. 24 - Sept. 23):
You believe in being honest as to what you expect of other people but if you expect more of them than they are capable of giving then you may not be friends or colleagues for long. Make allowances for those who are not as mentally agile as you.
LIBRA (Sept. 24 - Oct. 23):
Try to strike a good balance between work and family issues over the next few days. This may be the festive season but there are still matters outside home that need to be taken care of. Just make sure they don't take up all your time.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22):
Mars in your sign, linked to Neptune, planet of imagination, urges you to get your creative juices flowing and start something big and bold between now and the start of the new year. Give yourself permission to dream – then act on those dreams.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 - Dec. 21):
You may have to do things you don't much enjoy over the next 24 hours but it's really no big deal. The fact is you are doing them not because you have been ordered to but because you know it will make a loved one's life easier.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 - Jan. 20):
Try to be upbeat. Act as if nothing can go wrong. It may not be true but if you pretend it is you may be surprised how smoothly things go over the next two or three days. A confident outlook will attract help from the cosmos around you.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 - Feb. 19):
Why the long face? Why the feeling of impending doom? No doubt it has much to do with all that activity in the most sensitive area of your chart, but you don't have to let it get you down. The planets indicate you will be smiling again soon.
PISCES (Feb. 20 - Mar. 20):
The next few days are sure to be special but if you want this to be a new year to remember make an extra special effort to bring love and laughter into other people's lives. It's what you do best – and what the world expects of you.
