Your daily horoscope

IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY:

You need to be focused on your single, most important aim. The more you allow yourself to be sidetracked by other things the longer it will take to reach your number one goal. If others say you are being selfish, take it as a compliment.

ARIES (March 21 – April 20):

Make sure you act logically and have a rational reason for everything you do. This is a good day for taking the initiative and starting something new, but it must be something sensible, something that is likely to work.

TAURUS (April 21 – May 21):

By all means go off by yourself today and let the rest of the world take care of itself. Don’t worry about denying others the pleasure of your company – it will be even more of a pleasure when you get back.

GEMINI (May 22 – June 21):

You will see and understand things today that others have overlooked, but don’t expect any thanks for it because some people, sadly, prefer to live in a fog of stupidity. Use what you learn for your own profit and pleasure.

CANCER (June 22 – July 23):

You will see or hear something to your advantage today, something that will have a positive effect on your career – IF you are brave enough to make use of it. Don’t worry what others might think – just act.

LEO (July 24 – Aug. 23):

You will be in a questioning frame of mind today, unwilling to accept what others tell you simply because they are so-called “experts” on a subject. You’re a Leo, and Leos know how to think for themselves.

VIRGO (Aug. 24 – Sept. 23):

Don’t give up on something just because it is boring or does not seem to be working out the way you had hoped. Be patient and give it a bit more time. According to the planets you’re not far from a breakthrough.

LIBRA (Sept. 24 – Oct. 23):

If you stick your nose in someone else’s business today you will regret it around the time of the lunar eclipse on the 10th. Your advice may be invaluable, but they don’t want to know and you have no right to push it.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24 – Nov. 22):

Find ways to persuade those you live and work with to shoulder more of the everyday burden. You may have more strength and stamina than most but you are under no obligation to do it all on your own. Get tough!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 – Dec. 21):

You set such high standards that there are bound to be times when you cannot live up to them. If at some point you fall short today don’t be hard on yourself. At least you tried, which is more than most people do.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 – Jan. 20):

Information that comes your way over the next 24 hours will cause you to doubt what you were previously told by friends or work colleagues. Can you trust the source the information comes from? If so, act on it immediately.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 – Feb. 19):

You need to get your message across and the best way to do that is to be forceful without being aggressive. It’s a fine line, of course, but one you need to learn how to tread. Why? Because your message is important.

PISCES (Feb. 20 – Mar. 20):

Financially and professionally you’ll go far today, but don’t go too far and promise things you may not be able to deliver. You like to be generous but don’t be so generous that you end up with nothing left to give.
