IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY
You will have to deal with people this year who you don’t much like. On the work front, especially, you will have to call on all your powers of self-control. If you can do that though you’ll be the one who makes a profit and gets promoted.
ARIES (March 21 – April 20):
Be wary of anyone who says they have an idea that is guaranteed to make money, because while it may make money for them the cash is likely to come out of your pocket. Don’t be one of those suckers who is born every minute.
TAURUS (April 21 – May 21):
There has been far too much wishful thinking in recent weeks, both by yourself and by people you thought could make things happen for you. Mercury in your sign, at odds with power planet Pluto, means it’s time for a mental reset.
GEMINI (May 22 – June 21):
As an air sign you can be impetuous at times and the planets warn if you rush into something today the results are unlikely to be to your liking. You must look ahead and you must prepare carefully. Also, avoid people who push you to be impulsive.
CANCER (June 22 – July 23):
If you have any doubts at all that something you have been working on is the right thing to do then stop immediately. It may have seemed like a good idea at the time but it should be obvious by now that you’ve made a wrong turn.
LEO (July 24 – Aug. 23):
Power planet Pluto squares up to Mercury today and begins its retrograde phase tomorrow. What that means in everyday language is that you can no longer trust other people to make decisions for you. Seize the initiative and don’t give it up.
VIRGO (Aug. 24 – Sept. 23):
Mercury, your ruler, is well placed in your chart , making it easy for you to get your message across, but colleagues and people in positions of power don’t want to listen. It’s a waste of time shouting, so do what you can on your own.
LIBRA (Sept. 24 – Oct. 23):
Something you did for a friend or family member earlier in the year will be repaid in full today. You may have forgotten about it but they have not and are determined to balance the books. It’s good that they think so highly of you.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24 – Nov. 22):
By all means give voice to your opinions today but don’t expect a positive response. While communications planet Mercury is at odds with Pluto it doesn’t matter what facts you call on to support your cause, some people just won’t want to know.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 – Dec. 21):
The planets indicate that what you do now will probably have to be done again later in the month, so to put it bluntly, why bother? Instead of exerting yourself, take time out from your busy schedule to enjoy the day with someone you love.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 – Jan. 20):
You want to be decisive but you can also sense that this may not be the best time to make a move that could define what others think of you for weeks, months, maybe even years to come. You don’t HAVE to take action this very minute.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 – Feb. 19):
It’s not like you to get emotional but Pluto in your sign has been playing havoc with your feelings of late and there could be more turmoil today. Take a few deep breaths, stand back from what is going on, and try to keep it all in perspective.
PISCES (Feb. 20 – Mar. 20):
Something you thought was a problem is about to be resolved to your liking and you will most likely be shocked. Seems you were led to believe by people you should not have trusted that a “crisis” was in fact of no real significance.
