HOROSCOPES IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY

The more time you spend trying to convince others that you know what you are doing the less likely it is they will believe you, so forget about being a people pleaser and do only what feels right to you personally. Your instincts won’t let you down.

ARIES (March 21 – April 20):

Don’t let anything or anyone hold you back over the next few days. Your self-belief is such that if you focus on your dream it will already be halfway towards becoming a reality. You are not one of life’s also-rans, you are a genuine winner.

TAURUS (April 21 – May 21):

You may not be entirely persuaded that what is going on in your life is for the best but well before the moon is new next weekend you will recognize that you are in fact blessed. Keep smiling and keep aiming for the stars – you’ll reach them.

GEMINI (May 22 – June 21):

As your ruling planet Mercury is about to begin its retrograde phase you may be reluctant to speak up and let partners and colleagues know what you think but that would be a mistake. Be honest with them about your opinions. They will respect you for it.

CANCER (June 22 – July 23):

Don’t waste your time and energy on tasks that don’t take you closer to your goals and on people who only ever seem to have negative things to say about what you are doing. At home and at work focus only on your own needs today.

LEO (July 24 – Aug. 23):

Fear of failure is not generally something you suffer from but there will be times over the next few days when you secretly start doubting yourself. That is perfectly natural and nothing to be unduly worried about. You are human like everyone else.

VIRGO (Aug. 24 – Sept. 23):

You may have to assert your authority to get what you want today but the effort will be worth it. Some people are of the opinion that you are not the sort to fight back when things are taken from you – and will be shocked when you do.

LIBRA (Sept. 24 – Oct. 23):

The week will start at a frenetic pace and as the days go on events will get ever more challenging. Colleagues and rivals may find the pressure too much to bear but you will thrive on it. You are at your best when the heat is on.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24 – Nov. 22):

Cosmic activity in the financial area of your chart means you will get the chance to make some money today but holding on to it may be harder to do. Resist the temptation to go on a spending spree because you will inevitably overdo it.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 – Dec. 21):

Cosmic activity in and around your birth sign means the week will start with a bang and just keep getting louder. Opportunities to shine will arrive thick and fast over the next few days and all you have to do is make good use of them.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 – Jan. 20):

It is natural at this time of year to feel a bit unsure of yourself but as one of the zodiac’s cardinal signs you have what it takes to push past your doubts and make good things happen. Don’t run from your fears, run straight at them!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 – Feb. 19):

You have skills and abilities that other people cannot compete with but for some reason you have not been applying them much in recent weeks. Your main task now is to take your foot off the brake and start surging ahead of the opposition.

PISCES (Feb. 20 – Mar. 20):

You don’t like sudden changes but what occurs over the next few days cannot be avoided and you will have to adapt quickly to a new set of circumstances. The good news is you will rise to the challenge and make it look easy. Somehow you always do.
