IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY

Do something different this year, something that gets your heart beating faster by challenging you to go beyond your usual limits. As a Gemini you enjoy a change of scenery, so maybe explore a few places that are off the beaten track.

ARIES (March 21 - April 20):

Some people will disagree with every word you say today and you would not be human if that did not make you mad. Which could be exactly what they want because it means they can claim you are too emotional. Don’t fall for their tricks.

TAURUS (April 21 - May 21):

Cosmic activity in the financial area of your chart should improve your money situation over the next few days but don’t use it as an excuse to go on a spree or you will end up feeling poor again. Save any extra cash you make this week.

GEMINI (May 22 - June 21):

Uranus in your sign means you crave excitement but other influences warn you could easily get carried away and do stuff that gets you into serious trouble. Think before you act over the next few days, and before you open your mouth as well.

CANCER (June 22 - July 23):

You may wonder if a friend is as loyal as they say there are but that does not mean you should put it to the test. Be trusting right up to the moment when it becomes obvious they are not being truthful - a moment that may never come.

LEO (July 24 - Aug. 23):

If someone you don’t get along with starts being nice to you today you will of course be suspicious and wonder what they are up to. The good news is that on this occasion they are being genuinely friendly, so be friendly back at them.

VIRGO (Aug. 24 - Sept. 23):

There is not much point making plans at the moment because there is a lot of uncertainty showing in your chart and that means you will do better reacting to events than trying to control them. Adapt quickly to changing realities.

LIBRA (Sept. 24 - Oct. 23):

The message of the stars as the new week begins is that you must not get hung up on one thing while neglecting everything else. That applies especially to your work, where if your focus is restricted you could lose out on a great opportunity.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22):

Cosmic activity in the most adventurous area of your chart will see you in a carefree frame of mind this week, but you still need to stay on top of your money situation. Keep track of the cash coming in and, especially, the cash going out.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 - Dec. 21):

If a friend confides in you today you must take their worries seriously. To you it may seem as if they are overreacting but if you want them to get their act together you must sound sympathetic while offering genuinely useful advice.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 - Jan. 20):

Forget about trying to get on in the world and spend quality time with the people you love. You can be a bit of a workaholic at times and the planets warn you need to balance things out by being more responsive on an emotional level.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 - Feb. 19):

Cosmic activity in the most dynamic area of your chart means you are back to your best and raring to go. Creative activities, and affairs of the heart, will go well for you this week but it needs to be you who makes the first move.

PISCES (Feb. 20 - Mar. 20):

It may be tempting to get angry with someone who has let you down but will that encourage them to be more responsible? That’s unlikely. Instead, spell out for them in a calm and measured way what they might lose if they don’t get their act together.
