IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY
Make the coming 12 months a time of consolidation. Make sure everything you have achieved over the past two years is safe and cannot be dismantled. Above all, enjoy all the good things that make life so special. No one deserves them more than you.
ARIES (March 21 - April 20):
Try to avoid confrontation today because almost certainly you will come off second best. If possible, go off and be by yourself for a while: you will return to the fray refreshed physically and mentally and with lots of great new ideas.
TAURUS (April 21 - May 21):
You seem to think the worst is going to happen. You seem to think the sky is going to fall on your head. You should know by now that is exactly the sort of thought pattern that encourages bad things to happen. Be positive.
GEMINI (May 22 - June 21):
The planets suggest that if you make an effort today it will pay off. The only problem is you are not in the mood to do anything too strenuous. That's okay – you don't have to exert yourself. But don't blame others for your lack of progress.
CANCER (June 22 - July 23):
You may not enjoy what happens today, not least because you have no control over events, but if you just accept it and refuse to be upset then maybe it won't be so bad. One thing you can always control is the way you react.
LEO (July 24 - Aug. 23):
Everything must be in its proper place and if it isn't then someone is going to get the blame, and it won't be you. You may be easy-going most of the time but sometimes you are like your next-door-neighbor sign Virgo – obsessed by details.
VIRGO (Aug. 24 - Sept. 23):
Keep things simple today because the more complicated you allow your activities to get the more likely it is you will get confused and make a mistake. Focus on essentials and make sure they are easy to understand and put into effect.
LIBRA (Sept. 24 - Oct. 23):
It will pay you to be secretive, especially if you are working on a plan that requires the element of surprise to succeed. If people start sniffing around, asking what you are up to, tell them anything but the truth. Yes, you may have to lie.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22):
Stop worrying that you are not doing enough or that your rivals are winning. The planets indicate that success will be yours once you learn to relax and not take life so seriously. Strangely, that's when the serious rewards start to arrive.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 - Dec. 21):
You can make a little go a long way today, emotionally as well as financially. The trick is to not give too much away, to keep a little something in reserve and keep others guessing as to what you intend to do with it.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 - Jan. 20):
Wield the axe and cut back on the things in your life that are not so important. That applies especially to your career where, it seems, you have taken on too much responsibility too soon. Know your limits and stay within them.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 - Feb. 19):
What you have to do today may seem boring but if you do it well you will come to the attention of powerful people and, in the long-term, the rewards will be worth the effort many times over. Invest some time in your future.
PISCES (Feb. 20 - Mar. 20):
There is a great deal going on behind the scenes at the moment, so don't make too many plans because they are sure to change. If someone asks you to take on more work turn them down flat – it's the last thing you need right now.
