HOROSCOPES IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY

A sun-Pluto link on your birthday means you will find it easy to assert yourself over the coming year. Don’t hold back when it comes to expressing your opinions. Let the world know who you are and what you can do – and make sure you do it.

ARIES (March 21 - April 20):

The sun’s move into the most adventurous area of your chart today is a positive omen but it is up to you to make the most of it. Don’t worry that some of your decisions and actions may upset more timid types. You don’t owe them a thing.

TAURUS (April 21 - May 21):

You may be a bit withdrawn today, unable or unwilling to interact with the world around you, but that’s okay. What matters is that you give yourself time and space to clear your mind of negative thoughts, of which currently there are far too many.

GEMINI (May 22 - June 21):

You will need a thick skin today as some of the comments that come your way are likely to be less than flattering. The sun’s move into your opposite sign suggests that rivals will be critical of you for no good reason. You can handle it.

CANCER (June 22 - July 23):

Your life is complicated enough as it is without taking on other people’s worries and woes as well. If a friend or family member corners you with tales of anguish today don’t be afraid to cut them short. They have no right to impose their negativity on you.

LEO (July 24 - Aug. 23):

Make sure you hold out for what you are worth when discussing financial and business matters with other people. If they try to reduce what you are entitled to you must be firm and let them know it isn’t going to happen – you won’t be cheated.

VIRGO (Aug. 24 - Sept. 23):

What looked like bad news just a few days ago will reveal itself to be good news by the end of the week, so stay positive and upbeat and recognize that compared to most people you are actually quite fortunate. The universe has got your back.

LIBRA (Sept. 24 - Oct. 23):

Although you may be able to get through twice as much work as friends and colleagues that does not mean you have to take on new tasks. You may be someone who likes to please but don’t let others take advantage of you.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22):

Focus on what you enjoy today even if others say your time would be better spent elsewhere . If it makes you happy to be working on things that elevate your spirit then nothing else matters, certainly not making money just for the sake of it.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 - Dec. 21):

The sun moves into your sign today and a new solar year gets underway. What sort of year will it be? That depends entirely on you. Start as you mean to go on by setting your sights high and promising that you will never betray your own lofty ideals.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 - Jan. 20):

The message of the planets today is that you will enjoy life more if you keep things simple both at home and at work. Focus only on matters that you know will take you closer to your long-term goals. Everything else can be safely ignored.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 - Feb. 19):

The sun’s move into the friendship area of your chart is good for joint activities of all kinds but especially those that bring a sense of purpose into your life. Don’t be shy about getting involved and don’t hesitate to accept if you are offered a leadership role.

PISCES (Feb. 20 - Mar. 20):

The sun’s move into the career area of your chart today is an invitation to up your game and let important people know that you are ready to be promoted. Remind employers and senior colleagues that you possess skills they cannot afford to ignore.
