BIRTHDAY THURSDAY
Your birthday planets urge you not to work quite so hard over the coming 12 months. Where possible, get others to do the hard stuff for you. If that isn’t possible, don’t do it at all. Life is not supposed to be a trial or a torment, it’s supposed to be a delight.
ARIES (March 21 - April 20):
People respond better to charm than to threats or coercion, so use the power of Venus in your sign to work your way around their defenses. You need to know when to exert pressure and when to stand back and let things happen.
TAURUS (April 21 - May 21):
There may be a clash of wills today but at least it will clear the air – and remind certain people that just because you’re a nice guy does not mean you are a pushover. This is still your time of year and so much is still possible.
GEMINI (May 22 - June 21):
You won’t be short of friends today, tomorrow and over the weekend as Mercury, your ruler, links with Venus, planet of harmony. What you do with others will be more enjoyable than what you do by yourself. The more the merrier!
CANCER (June 22 - July 23):
It’s okay to be forceful but sometimes you push too hard and turn people off. That should not be such a problem today though as you find new ways to get along with work colleagues and people in positions of power. It’s all about charm.
LEO (July 24 - Aug. 23):
No matter how many things may have gone wrong in your life in recent weeks your luck will change for the better today. Actually luck has little to do with it. It’s your attitude that creates your world, so start smiling – and winning – again.
VIRGO (Aug. 24 - Sept. 23):
Make it a priority to kiss and make up with someone you fell out with a while back. Most likely you are genuinely sorry you got angry about something that, with hindsight, looks absurdly trivial. You’ll both get over it.
LIBRA (Sept. 24 - Oct. 23):
Let the people you feel closest to know how much you need them and appreciate them and love them. It’s not true that Librans lack emotion and anyone who thinks that will have no choice but to think again over the next 24 hours.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22):
You could fall out with a work colleague or someone in authority today. It’s okay to fight your corner, of course, but be sure in your mind that you are right and they are wrong. If there’s any doubt it might be wise to back off.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 - Dec. 21):
You seem a lot more relaxed about life in general and affairs of the heart in particular now and that’s good. You also seem a lot less concerned with what other people think about what you are doing. If it feels right to you, carry on!
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 - Jan. 20):
All sorts of opportunities are opening up for you now but they will be a lot more fun if you invite family and friends to join you on your journey. Make sure what you do for yourself you do also for the people care for.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 - Feb. 19):
Someone new will come into your life today. Is it a true love match or is it just a passing fancy? You may not know for sure until later in the year but if it’s making you smile now it can’t be all bad – so enjoy!
PISCES (Feb. 20 - Mar. 20):
Money matters and business affairs will go better today if you turn on the charm and let would-be partners know you are happy to work closely with them. There’s more than enough profit to go around, so don’t be greedy.
