IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY:

You will find it easier to empathize with people over the coming 12 months. You will see beneath surface differences and realize that at a higher level we are really all one. That might sound profound but then Scorpio is a profound sign.

ARIES (March 21 – April 20):

Get help from someone who is more worldly wise than you are. You may think you can go it alone, but life will be easier if you have someone to handle negotiations and read the small print that you tend to ignore.

TAURUS (April 21 – May 21):

Do what you feel is right and ignore those who disagree with you. You tend to do that anyway, of course, but today there really is no time for discussion. Follow your muse wherever it chooses to lead you.

GEMINI (May 22 – June 21):

The right things seem to be happening at just the right time and today's Venus-Jupiter link will certainly bring good news concerning a partnership or relationship. One-to-one relationships are under excellent stars.

CANCER (June 22 – July 23):

You have never been one to put dollars and cents above other things, but over the next few days you must focus more on your financial situation. Could you be earning more? Yes. Should you be spending less. Double yes.

LEO (July 24 – Aug. 23):

Your heart will rule your head today and that will lead to some seriously fun times. Friendships and social activities must come first, at least for a while. Contacts you make now will bring long-term benefits.

VIRGO (Aug. 24 – Sept. 23):

There are times when it all seems to come together, and this is one of them. Both at home and at work things will fall into place with no input from you, and that's nice. All you have to do is enjoy them.

LIBRA (Sept. 24 – Oct. 23):

This is potentially one of the best days of the year as your ruler Venus, currently in your sign, links with luck planet Jupiter. Make a wish and expect it to come true – and most likely it will. Go on, ask for something outrageous.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24 – Nov. 22):

It's time to get serious about your aims and ambitions. Something you visualize over the next few days is potentially more than just an idle daydream: handled the right way it could be your future – and that future is bright.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 – Dec. 21):

You may be tempted to say what you think other people want to hear, but that would be a mistake. The planets urge you to be honest, even if it means hurting a loved one's feelings. They'll thank you for it one day.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 – Jan. 20):

Go out of your way to be nice to people, even if they are not nice to you. Someone in a position of authority thinks you are ready for bigger and better things and if your manner is positive a promotion is likely.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 – Feb. 19):

You may or may not be on the move over the next few days but even if you stay close to home you will certainly be looking at the world in a different way. You have never been one to follow the herd.

PISCES (Feb. 20 – Mar. 20):

Today's Venus-Jupiter link will emphasize the generous side of your nature, which is rarely far from the surface. Do what you can for people in need but don't bankrupt yourself in the process – that won't help them or you.
