Aries
IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY
Mind planet Mercury links with Uranus, planet of genius, on your birthday this year, so there is every chance you will come up with some brilliant ideas. Don't limit yourself to old ways of thinking – be brave and ask the questions everyone else tries to avoid.
ARIES (March 21 - April 20):
You may not be in control of what happens today but you can control the way you react to it. The more colleagues and loved ones mess you around the more you must strive to stay serene and not let it get to you.
TAURUS (April 21 - May 21):
You may have your suspicions about someone but the planets warn this is probably not the right time to go public with them. Even if your suspicions are correct you should keep your thoughts to yourself, at least for the time being.
GEMINI (May 22 - June 21):
Be careful with your cash because wealth planet Pluto begins one of its retrograde phases today. What does that mean in plain language? It means you could easily make a costly mistake. There's no such thing as an easy dollar.
CANCER (June 22 - July 23):
Do as you please over the next 24 hours and don't worry too much about the consequences. A day or two from now everything will be back to normal and everyone will be on your side again, so why worry?
LEO (July 24 - Aug. 23):
Don't try too hard to stay on top of your workload today. The deadlines you have set yourself are unnecessary – no one will think less of you if you fail to meet them. Why make such a big effort when you really don't have to?
VIRGO (Aug. 24 - Sept. 23):
The message of the stars this week is that you must not start anything you may not be able to finish. Likewise, don't make promises you may not be able to keep. If you don't aim so high you'll look good when you do more.
LIBRA (Sept. 24 - Oct. 23):
Disruption of one sort or another is inevitable today. Whatever happens, keep telling yourself that it's not as bad as it seems and promise yourself that you will keep your emotions in check. And by all means laugh at those who get hysterical.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22):
This is not a good time to make hasty decisions, not with Pluto, your ruler, beginning one of its retrograde phases. What seems like a good idea today may turn out later to be the one thing you should have avoided, so take care.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 - Dec. 21):
There will be times over the next two or three days when you seem out of your depth but that is not an excuse to give up. If you do you will most likely regret it as the planets bring new self-belief and new opportunities.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 - Jan. 20):
Pluto, planet of power, turns retrograde in your sign today, which among other things suggests that your grip on certain situations may not be as strong as you thought. In one particular area it may even pay you to let go completely.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 - Feb. 19):
Be careful what you decide today because once you have made up your mind about something the planets won't let you change back again. Remember too that while you may not be in control of events your emotions are always yours to command.
PISCES (Feb. 20 - Mar. 20):
No matter how self-reliant a Pisces you may be you must make an effort to work hand-in-hand with other people over the next few days. Not only will you get more done but you will create a lot of useful goodwill as well.
