CapricornThe Globe and Mail
IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY
You will get plenty of opportunities to prove yourself. The only danger is that in your eagerness to show what you can do, you will take on too much and spread yourself too thin. It's quality that counts, not quantity, so choose your ambitions with care.
ARIES (March 21 - April 20):
Take time out of your busy schedule to sit down and think about what it is you are doing and where it is you are going. That applies to all areas of your life, but especially to your career. Are you doing what you dreamed you'd be doing?
TAURUS (April 21 - May 21):
Over the next few days it will feel like you have turned a corner, that better days are coming. They probably won't arrive for a few weeks yet, but because you know they are on their way you can start making plans. Make them big.
GEMINI (May 22 - June 21):
You will be even more assertive than usual today, and that's good, but don't be so assertive that you scare people away. The way to win others around to your way of thinking is to persuade them with facts, not intimidate them with threats.
CANCER (June 22 - July 23):
Think before you act over the next 24 hours, especially if your actions are likely to affect other people. Cosmic activity in your opposite sign of Capricorn means what you do to others will come back to you tenfold, for better or worse.
LEO (July 24 - Aug. 23):
It might be a smart idea to take a closer look at how you organize your everyday affairs. Start thinking of ways you can make your routines simpler and your chores less of a burden. One way, of course, is to get others to do them for you.
VIRGO (Aug. 24 - Sept. 23):
The pace of life will pick up over the next few days, and that's good. This is still one of the most creative and productive times of the year for you, so stop thinking about what you might accomplish and get out there and actually do it.
LIBRA (Sept. 24 - Oct. 23):
You will hear something today that does not exactly fill you with joyous feelings but it's not as bad as you think it is. It may even, in a strange sort of way, be the forerunner of good news over the longer term, so don't despair just yet.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22):
You will push yourself hard over the next few days, of that there is little doubt, but will you push yourself in the right direction? That remains to be seen. Just make sure you don't push past someone in a position of power – they won't like it.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 - Dec. 21):
You may spend too much over the next few days, but if you spend it mainly on other people it won't be so bad. You are a generous soul at heart and like to see friends and family enjoy themselves. Don't bankrupt yourself though.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 - Jan. 20):
It's good that you know your own mind but you also need to make sure those you live and work with know it as well. Spell out what it is you expect of them now and you will get it before the sun leaves your sign on the 20th.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 - Feb. 19):
Sometimes you can be too suspicious for your own good, and as the sun moves through the most secretive area of your chart, you must not let the more distrustful side of your nature take control. In the long term, you're the one who will suffer.
PISCES (Feb. 20 - Mar. 20):
Try not to come on too strong today or you may scare away the people you most need to connect with. Remember, too, that not everyone wants to change the world – in fact, some people like it just the way it is. Respect that fact.
