IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY

The good news on your birthday is that Saturn, planet of restriction, moves in your favour, so the things that have been holding you back will no longer have any power over you. But don't overreact and take silly risks. There are still limits you know!

ARIES (March 21 - April 20):

If someone makes you an interesting offer over the next few days don't automatically assume there is a catch involved. The planets suggest that no matter what happens, be it good, bad or indifferent, you will always be well protected.

TAURUS (April 21 - May 21):

If you want to earn other people's respect you have to lead by example. That applies in all areas but especially on the home front where the planets indicate that loved ones are on the point of rebellion! Don't be too assertive for your own good.

GEMINI (May 22 - June 21):

Something will happen over the next few days that proves you were right and your rivals were wrong. Will you gloat? Of course you will! Enjoy your moment of triumph. Treat yourself and your friends to a victory celebration – then move on.

CANCER (June 22 - July 23):

Although the sun leaves your birth sign this week your energy levels will remain high for some time to come. The only obvious change is that you won't be able to be quite so wasteful with your resources, especially your time and your money.

LEO (July 24 - Aug. 23):

The sun joins Jupiter in your birth sign on Tuesday, after which you will have the world at your feet. The next few weeks are going to be truly special and, being a Leo, you don't need to be told to enjoy every moment.

VIRGO (Aug. 24 - Sept. 23):

As the sun moves into the most sensitive area of your chart this week you may be a bit touchy – make that a lot if you are the touchy sort anyway. You won't do yourself any favours if you let your temper get the better of you.

LIBRA (Sept. 24 - Oct. 23):

The planets in their courses are urging you to be a bit less suspicious than you usually are. They also suggest that even if you do lose out in some way it won't be by much. In a nutshell: stop worrying and start living.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22):

The sun's change of signs on Tuesday will make you even more ambitious than you were before, if that is possible. There are no limits to what you can achieve now, so give yourself permission to dream – and dream big.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 - Dec. 21):

You should start feeling more like your old self over the next few days. With both the sun and Jupiter, your ruler, transiting your fellow fire sign of Leo you will have the confidence to try new things and visit new places. Have fun!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 - Jan. 20):

You don't have to suffer in silence if you think you have been hard done by. Speak up and let everyone know you deserve a bigger share of the pie. They may not agree with you but at least you will have started a dialogue.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 - Feb. 19):

Are you being too optimistic? Are you allowing your imagination to carry you away? Maybe you are but so what! A positive attitude is essential over the next few days, especially if you are the kind of Aquarius who tends to take life too seriously.

PISCES (Feb. 20 - Mar. 20):

There are plenty of good things going on in the world around you, so why are you feeling so down? Your task for the week ahead is to get out and about and get more involved in social activities. Life is what you choose to make of it.
