HOROSCOPE IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY

In too many cases lately, you haven’t accomplished as much as you should have because you couldn’t decide what your #1 goal should be. Make that decision now and stick to it for the next 12 months.

ARIES (March 21 – April 20):

Don’t be afraid to stand up to someone in a position of authority today if they give you a hard time. It’s important to stand your ground and refuse to be intimidated, but it’s also important to meet them halfway if possible.

TAURUS (April 21 – May 21):

The main danger now is that you may be in such a rush to get things done that you take on too much and burn yourself out. You may have the strength and stamina to multitask, but focus on the one that truly inspires you.

GEMINI (May 22 – June 21):

If you stick your nose into a situation that doesn’t concern you today, you are very likely to regret it. Even if your intentions are honorable, you should keep your distance unless you’re directly asked to get involved—and you won’t be.

CANCER (June 22 – July 23):

At some point today, you will have to decide what is most important to you: your family or your job. You will, of course, have to find time for both, but the planets make you focus most of your attention on loved ones.

LEO (July 24 – August 23):

It will pay off to keep your thoughts to yourself today, especially if some of those thoughts might upset friends and colleagues if you put them into words. You don’t have to tell other people what they are doing wrong – let them figure it out for themselves.

VIRGO (August 24 – September 23):

Keep your options open today and be willing to listen to the advice of people whose experience in certain areas is much greater than yours. You might be a bit of an egghead, but even a Virgo can’t know everything. I still have a lot to learn.

LIBRA (September 24 – October 23):

There will be times at the beginning of the week when you wish more than anything to be somewhere else, but the fact is, you are where you are and you have to deal with what’s in front of you. Only then can you think about continuing again.

SCORPIO (October 24 – November 22):

There are times when the demands of everyday life become too difficult even for a Scorpio, and that time is now. If you find that your energy and enthusiasm are lacking today, then you are clearly not focusing on the right things.

SAGITTARIUS (November 23 – December 21):

Wherever you go and whatever you do today, you will be accompanied by a nagging feeling that something bad is going to happen – but it isn’t. You are most likely affected by the negativity of the people around you. Choose your friends more carefully.

CAPRICORN (December 22 – January 20):

You may be ambitious by nature, but you should understand that material success is not the most important thing in life. What matters now is making sure that family and other close relationships run smoothly. And if they aren’t, arrange them.

AQUARIUS (January 21 – February 19):

It may be hard to get started with the start of a new week, but once you get into your stride, you’ll be amazed at how much progress you make. Get your work done and dusted by late afternoon, then enjoy a fun night out with your friends.

PISCES (February 20 – March 20):

Resist the urge to point out other people’s faults and shortcomings today, because they will not take kindly to it and will retaliate by pointing out those things where you were wrong. If their flaws don’t directly concern you, pretend you don’t see them.
