HOROSCOPES IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY
Mercury’s influence on your birthday is such that you will need to question every assumption that you usually feel comfortable with. If you start from the premise that the opposite of what you believe is closer to the truth then you won’t go far wrong.
ARIES (March 21 – April 20):
You may get it into your head today that everything in your life needs to be torn down so you can start again from scratch, but that is completely wrong. By all means have a serious purge but why throw out what still seems to work?
TAURUS (April 21 – May 21):
Your thoughts will be all over the place today, so try not to make decisions that could have serious repercussions down the line if they go wrong. On the home front, especially, you are under no obligation to do what loved ones say is your duty.
GEMINI (May 22 – June 21):
While Mercury, your ruler, is moving retrograde it is of the utmost importance that you focus on the positive things in your life and refuse to give the negative things even a minimum of head space. Act as if you cannot lose, and you won’t.
CANCER (June 22 – July 23):
If you approach an employer or someone else in a position of authority for a favor today they either won’t grant it or will attach so many conditions that it is not worth the effort. Go your own way and do your own thing – you don’t need anyone’s help.
LEO (July 24 – Aug. 23):
Do only what matters to you today, even if some of your closest friends say you should be doing more for other people. What they mean, of course, is that they would like you to do for them what they are too lazy to do for themselves!
VIRGO (Aug. 24 – Sept. 23):
Something you have kept secret for quite a while could become public knowledge today. There is no point trying to deny the fact that you made an error of judgement, so hold up your hand and own your mistake. It’s really not such a big deal.
Missed one of your horoscopes? Here are the most recent days’ forecasts:
Unexpected feelings of anxiety will plague you today and make you believe the world is against you. Keep telling yourself there is no evidence for that and even if the worst were to happen it would not put more than a minor dent in your ambitions.
LIBRA (Sept. 24 – Oct. 23):
You may be minded to make an issue of something on the work front but as communications planet Mercury, now in its retrograde phase, moves back into the career area of your chart today there isn’t much point – because no one will be listening.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24 – Nov. 22):
Something you have wanted to own for a very long time is now within reach but you may have to wait a bit longer before you get your hands on it. Be patient and stay alert so you are ready to grab it when the opportunity finally arrives.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 – Dec. 21):
If a friend needs your assistance today you will of course do what you can, but you also need to be smart and recognize that just giving them money won’t solve their problems. Instead, give them the sort of practical advice they seem incapable of giving themselves.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 – Jan. 20):
A mix-up in communications could lead to a falling-out with a friend or colleague and it may be quite a while before you mend fences and get back together again. That could though be a blessing in that time spent apart will be good for both of you.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 – Feb. 19):
Don’t waste your time trying to get a colleague to see sense today because they are in one of those moods when whatever you say they will take the opposite viewpoint. If you have to push ahead with your plans on your own then so be it.
