Your daily horoscope

IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY:

Money may not be the most important thing in your life, which is good, but you need to make sure you have enough coming in to finance the things you need to do. Find ways to increase your cash flow this year.

ARIES (March 21 – April 20):

You will be thinking a lot about your work and your reputation over the next few days. You may well decide on a change of direction but don’t make your move yet. Other options will reveal themselves early next week.

TAURUS (April 21 – May 21):

If someone says you should not be concerned about what is going on in your immediate environment that means you should be very concerned indeed. Go out of your way to find out what it is – then act.

GEMINI (May 22 – June 21):

It would appear that you have been worrying about your money situation for no good reason and over the next few days you will see solutions where before you saw only problems. Others will help if you ask them to.

CANCER (June 22 – July 23):

You are in two minds whether to get involved in a feud that is really none of your business. On this occasion you should speak up and make your opinions known – they may prevent a disastrous falling out.

LEO (July 24 – Aug. 23):

This is the ideal time to think of ways to reduce your chores and improve your health. You may not be able to make any major changes over the next few days but you can start a new fitness program with the new year.

VIRGO (Aug. 24 – Sept. 23):

Your confidence is improving by the hour and it won’t be long before your more positive attitude brings some seriously encouraging results. Both in your personal life and at work people will appreciate your new self-assurance.

LIBRA (Sept. 24 – Oct. 23):

You may find it hard to ask for assistance but ask you must because if you go it alone over the holiday period you could find yourself in a bit of a muddle. It’s the season for giving, and others will give if you ask.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24 – Nov. 22):

The approaching new moon makes it easier for you to express yourself – and easier for others to understand what it is you are trying to say. Your current problems are nothing more than the result of poor communications.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 – Dec. 21):

Good news from afar will cheer you up today, not least because it means you could make a lot of money. Open your eyes and recognize how good this opportunity really is – or someone else may beat you to it.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 – Jan. 20):

The sun’s move into your sign yesterday is followed by a hugely positive new moon tomorrow, so you really are on the cusp of a positive phase. Once you start to believe that you will see your fortunes improve dramatically.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 – Feb. 19):

It may be the party season but you have a lot on your mind at the moment and may well withdraw into your shell over the next few days. Don’t snap at people who try to cheer you up – they mean well.

PISCES (Feb. 20 – Mar. 20):

This is a good day to contact friends and relatives and plan a get together for between now and the end of the year. Keep your workload to a minimum over the holiday period. Most things that need doing can wait.

Your daily horoscope

IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY:

It seems you are under divine protection. It seems you can do no wrong. Take a few risks over the coming 12 months. Do things other people would not dare to try. You’ve got nothing to lose and everything to gain.

ARIES (March 21 – April 20):

The sun crosses the angle of your chart that governs your social and professional status today. Over the next four weeks or so you will get numerous opportunities to better yourself – and you must take them.

TAURUS (April 21 – May 21):

Something that was an issue before won’t be an issue as from today, most likely because you no longer take it seriously. As the sun changes signs so your awareness will deepen and many “problems” will cease to exist.

GEMINI (May 22 – June 21):

Over the past few weeks the emphasis has been on relationships, but as from today the emphasis will shift to business and financial issues. Tread carefully when dealing with other people’s money: the potential for trouble is huge.

CANCER (June 22 – July 23):

You are now halfway through your solar year – the ideal time to take stock of how far you have come and how far you have still to go. If you have not achieved as much as you hoped there’s still time to make changes.

LEO (July 24 – Aug. 23):

You need to do more in some areas but less in others. It’s important that you get the balance right because too much focused activity could lead to burnout. Make sure you get plenty of rest over the next few days.

VIRGO (Aug. 24 – Sept. 23):

As the sun moves into the most dynamic area of your chart today your confidence will soar and you will start to believe that anything is possible. One of the best times of the year is about to begin. Make every minute count.

LIBRA (Sept. 24 – Oct. 23):

There is no such thing as coincidence. If you feel drawn to a certain person it is because your fates are connected. This is also a good day to spend some quality time with loved ones and other relations.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24 – Nov. 22):

You may not be the most outgoing member of the zodiac but now the sun is moving into the most sociable area of your chart you’ll be more open than usual. It doesn’t have to be all work and no play.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 – Dec. 21):

It’s time to get serious about your dreams and ambitions. It’s also time to get serious about improving your cash flow situation. Are the two things related? Of course they are. Follow your dream – and make it pay.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 – Jan. 20):

The sun enters your birth sign today and a new solar year begins. Think big, act big and expect big things of yourself over the coming 12 months. Don’t try to be perfect though – not even a Capricorn can manage that.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 – Feb. 19):

By all means stick up for yourself today but don’t say too much and risk making an enemy of someone who could just as easily be a friend. Sometimes you can be a little too sensitive to criticism.

PISCES (Feb. 20 – Mar. 20):

The problem you are confronted with has a simple solution, so stop making things difficult for yourself and listen to what your inner voice tells you. The answers you seek are all there waiting – all you have to do is look.

How to wear sequins for the party season?

How to wear sequins for the party season?

Q. I’d like to wear sequins for the party season, but now that they are appropriate for day, how can I make them cool for night? A. You’ve got to get away from the jeans-plus-sparkly-tank combo. The rules: Choose a top that has a simple shape (like a T-shirt, basic crewneck or V-neck sweater, or a cardigan) but plenty of embellishment. Next, pair it with shorts. This prevents the kind of faux pas that often occur when wearing bling tops (sequins, lamé, lurex and other) with party skirts or dressy pants. Go for textured tights (lace or cable-knit, for example) to add another fabric, and finish the look with masculine-inspired brogues. (Wedges are fine too, if you like the extra height.) And that sequined dress? Keep it for when a black-tie invitation comes in the mail.
