IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY
Your way with words will come in handy this year, especially when dealing with people in positions of power. If you have an idea of some kind to sell don't embellish it in any way. Keep it simple and to the point and they will surely be impressed.
ARIES (March 21 - April 20):
What you gain over the coming week will more than make up for what you have lost, so be of good cheer. Sometimes something has to go out of your life before something new can come in and that seems to be the case now.
TAURUS (April 21 - May 21):
A relationship that has fallen into a rut can be spiced up again but it won't happen if you keep looking back to the past. Once you accept that it will never be the way it was you can start making it even better for the future.
GEMINI (May 22 - June 21):
It will pay you to not be quite so open about what you are doing and why. You don't have to be dishonest but you do have to keep information that could be useful to rivals and enemies to yourself. This is not a time for sharing.
CANCER (June 22 - July 23):
You are about to make a hugely important decision, one that could change the course of your life. It may not be the change itself that worries you so much as how others are going to react. Don't worry, they'll get used to it.
LEO (July 24 - Aug. 23):
There may be a certain amount of tension in the air over the next few days and it may even linger until Mercury changes signs next weekend. It won't cause you any major problems but try not to snap at people for no good reason.
VIRGO (Aug. 24 - Sept. 23):
Although some may find it hard to believe you are very much in touch with your emotions and that's good because if you rely entirely on your rational mind today you could miss out on something. Let your heart rule your head.
LIBRA (Sept. 24 - Oct. 23):
You may think that you can do as you please and get away with it but the planets warn if you go too far today you could create a backlash that is difficult to contain. Maybe you should play it safe, just this once.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22):
The choices you make over the next few days will have a major impact on the direction your life takes over the next few months, so make them wisely. You don't have to be cautious but you do have to be aware of all the options.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 - Dec. 21):
There may have been some confusion of late but you should find it easy to set the record straight today. If your remarks have been misquoted or taken out of context make sure everyone knows it. Shout about it if you have to.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 - Jan. 20):
It is important that you tell the truth today, even if by doing so you cause yourself, and maybe others, a certain amount of grief. With communications planet Mercury linked to your ruler Saturn this is clearly the time for straight talk.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 - Feb. 19):
You tend to fear the worst at this time of year, so don't be surprised if you find yourself a bit hesitant as the new week begins. The good news is the tide is already beginning to turn and come the weekend you'll be your old self again.
PISCES (Feb. 20 - Mar. 20):
An important arrangement may have to be changed at the last moment today but don't get angry or uptight because most likely it will work in your favour. Strange as it may seem your friends really do know what is best for you.
