IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY
Mercury, your ruler, fills your head with amazing ideas but as it is moving retrograde on your birthday each and every one of those ideas must be given a serious stress test. Yes, self-belief is important but you still need to keep a grip on reality.
ARIES (March 21 - April 20):
If you have been driving yourself hard of late now would be a good time to slow down a bit and catch your breath. The approaching eclipse may tempt you to take on an even heavier workload but that is really not a good idea.
TAURUS (April 21 - May 21):
This is one of the best times of the year for getting things done but there is also a tendency to take on too much or deal with too many people. Be selective about your aims this week, and ruthless with those who waste your time.
GEMINI (May 22 - June 21):
Other people clearly have the upper hand at the moment and if you are wise you will devote at least some of your time to pleasing them. You don't have to do everything they demand of you but show willingness whenever you can.
CANCER (June 22 - July 23):
This may be a carefree time for you but don't get carried away because you are not invincible. Your mind will come up with some great ideas this week but it is your body that will bear the brunt of the effort. Put your health first.
LEO (July 24 - Aug. 23):
There is money to be made over the next few days but if you take silly chances you could lose money too, so check and check again and then get someone you trust to check for you as well. You can never be too careful with cash.
VIRGO (Aug. 24 - Sept. 23):
You need to be aware of your limits and you need to make sure you don't go beyond them. This is still your time of year but if you push too hard accidents could happen. Be wary too of making promises you may not be able to keep.
LIBRA (Sept. 24 - Oct. 23):
By all means have high expectations but keep your feet on the ground too, especially later in the week when an eclipse in the health area of your chart could make you a bit reckless. Look ahead and imagine what the worst case scenario might be.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22):
You will want to go out and conquer the world this week and it's good that you are so ambitious. But an upcoming series of difficult aspects warns it won't always be easy. Don't be discouraged if you have to work harder than you expected.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 - Dec. 21):
Something will happen over the next few days that changes your status dramatically and that could be either good news or bad. If it's the former, don't let success go to your head. If it's the latter, it's not the end of the world.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 - Jan. 20):
It's not like you to throw caution to the wind but something has inspired you to cast off restrictions and go all out for glory. Don't let other people's disapproving glances stop you from pursuing your dream. You're having fun and that's what counts.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 - Feb. 19):
Don't be surprised if someone you thought you could count on decides not to go along with your plans today. If you are smart you will ask them why they are so reluctant – you could learn something that saves you from yourself.
PISCES (Feb. 20 - Mar. 20):
If you want to get things done you will have to work closely with other people over the next few days. An upcoming eclipse in your sign could derail your plans if you insist on going it alone. Share the burdens and share the spoils too.
