IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY
You must define your goals clearly. You must also keep them within realistic bounds. If you can do those two simple things then what you achieve over the next 12 months will overshadow what you achieved in the previous 12 years. It's your time to shine.
ARIES (March 21 - April 20):
Go out of your way to be pleasant to everyone you meet, even to those who are anything but pleasant to you. The more you smile and act as if the world is your friend the more the celestial powers that be will reward you.
TAURUS (April 21 - May 21):
Make quick work of any money matters or business issues that have to be dealt with, then turn your attention to having fun with your friends. Travel of one sort or another is on the cards over the next few weeks, so start packing.
GEMINI (May 22 - June 21):
You must do your own research when it comes to money matters and business deals. If you let others decide things for you almost certainly they will get it wrong, so make the effort and make sure you stay in control.
CANCER (June 22 - July 23):
You may find that everyday tasks become even more of a chore over the next few days but don't worry. Whatever challenges you are called on to face you will handle them, if not with ease, then at least with courage and confidence.
LEO (July 24 - Aug. 23):
Life is supposed to be fun and will continue to be fun if you don't let minor issues get to you. Also, don't waste time worrying that others are not so fortunate. Be happy and successful yourself and be the example they want to follow.
VIRGO (Aug. 24 - Sept. 23):
Creatively and romantically this is one of the best times of the year for you, so decide what it is you want to achieve, then make it happen. Don't listen to those who say you should not take risks, just do what feels right to you.
LIBRA (Sept. 24 - Oct. 23):
You always have plenty to say for yourself but for a while at least it might be wise to button your lip and listen to what others have to say. You could learn something to your advantage this week, if you are willing to use your ears.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22):
You won't worry much about money over the next few days, mainly because there are so many things going on in your life that you don't have time to stop and count your cash. Good. The less you think about it the happier you will be.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 - Dec. 21):
Looking back on the past few weeks you will be amazed how much time you wasted on things that don't really matter. On the other hand you did have a great deal of fun, so there is no need to feel guilty. Fun is an essential part of life.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 - Jan. 20):
With Mercury joining the sun and Venus in your sign this week you will be in a position to deal with whatever life chooses to throw at you. However, as Venus is now moving retrograde don't take others' affections for granted.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 - Feb. 19):
Do what you can for other people this week, especially those who are in some way less fortunate than you. No matter what your own problems may be there are millions, maybe billions, who would happily trade places with you.
PISCES (Feb. 20 - Mar. 20):
Your willingness to work as part of a team will bring many benefits over the next few weeks, not least the boost it gives to your reputation. Friends will be lucky for you but employers and other authority figures will be luckier still.
