BIRTHDAY THURSDAY:
You will be so full of energy and enthusiasm this year that you take on tasks you previously believed would be too much for you. That's great but you still need to be selective. Do one thing really well rather than several things to a lower standard.
ARIES (March 21 - April 20):
You may go over the top in some way today but chances are the universe will protect you. That is not, of course, an excuse to act in ways that might hurt other people, not least because that hurt is sure to come back at you at some stage.
TAURUS (April 21 - May 21):
If something does not work out the way you expected it to today don't feel bad about it, and certainly don't try to make others feel bad by pinning the blame on them. Life is full of ups and downs. You'll feel better about the situation tomorrow.
GEMINI (May 22 - June 21):
You may not want to let others make decisions for you on the work front but you must let them take some of the strain. Jupiter, planet of excess, is encouraging you to push yourself harder than ever but, that may not be good for your health.
CANCER (June 22 - July 23):
Why are you trying so hard to impress other people when, if anything, they should be trying to impress you? Focus on what you do well today and give it 100 per cent. If others praise you for it that's great; if not, that's okay too.
LEO (July 24 - Aug. 23):
You can, if you wish, force people you work with to do your bidding today but why would you want to when they are more than willing to assist if you just ask them nicely? Get rid of the tough guy act - you don't need it.
VIRGO (Aug. 24 - Sept. 23):
Don't try to avoid situations that have the potential to turn nasty - tackle them head on. The planets suggest you will quite enjoy getting stuck in to situations that most other people would prefer to avoid. It's the challenge that excites you.
LIBRA (Sept. 24 - Oct. 23):
You will get a chance to do something remarkable today and you must not let it pass you by. Don't sit at home wondering what is going on in the world outside your door - get out there and find out. And then add your bit as well.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22):
Most likely you will be in the mood to sit back and watch the world go by today, and so you should. You will be busier than ever not long after the Sun enters your sign on the 23rd, so why put yourself under pressure now?
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 - Dec. 21):
There has rarely been a better time to push yourself forward and show those around you, at home and at work, what you are capable of. Be assertive but in a way that does not antagonize people. Even if you're the boss you should also be a friend.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 - Jan. 20):
You are not really as conservative in your thinking as you sometimes make out and over the next two or three days you will get the opportunity to surprise people by the radical nature of your ideas. They must, of course, be practical too.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 - Feb. 19):
The world seems such a sunny and happy place at the moment - for you at least - and you must strive to make your positive outlook last as long as possible. Don't strive too hard though as that could stress you out all over again!
PISCES (Feb. 20 - Mar. 20):
Upcoming cosmic influences will boost both your ego and your energy. On the work front, especially, you will no longer be prepared to play second fiddle to people whose talents you don't rate as highly as your own. You know you're the best.
