With Mars strong on your birthday the year ahead can be a time of real achievement, both in your professional life and in your private affairs. Dare to believe that all things are possible and trust yourself enough to move outside your comfort zone.

IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY

ARIES (March 21 - April 20):

Today’s sun-Mars link will give you the ideal start to the week as both your confidence and your energy move up a level. Sometimes you can believe in yourself to a degree that isn’t warranted but now you are right to believe you’re the best

TAURUS (April 21 - May 21):

The bigger your plans for the week ahead the more likely they are to succeed. With the sun in the most dynamic area of your chart on good terms with Mars there is precious little you cannot do, so aim for the sky — or even the stars!

GEMINI (May 22 - June 21):

Any worries you have about your money situation will be eased by good news today, but you must not believe that’s the end of the matter and you can go on a spree. Think of it as a temporary let-off so you can get your financial house in order.

CANCER (June 22 - July 23):

This is potentially one of the best days of the month and if you are brave and take a calculated risk it could even be one of the best days of the year. Keep telling yourself you were born to succeed and keep your eyes open for new opportunities.

LEO (July 24 - Aug. 23):

It is possible to be too easygoing for your own good and the danger today is that you will ignore someone’s harmful actions because you cannot be bothered to argue with them. That’s the wrong approach as it will encourage them to do even more harm in the future.

VIRGO (Aug. 24 - Sept. 23):

The sun in your sign makes an excellent link with Mars today, which among other things will make it easy for you to win people round to your way of thinking. You must also, however, be open to other opinions, as you cannot possibly know it all yourself.

LIBRA (Sept. 24 - Oct. 23):

Yes, you can change the world, but not on your own and not without a lot of hard work. That is the message of the stars as the new week begins, so team up with people whose aims reflect your own and then put in some serious effort.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22):

Something you thought of as a setback last week will reveal itself to be a blessing in disguise this week, so get ready to change your thinking and then change the actions you had chosen to take. Don’t hold on to an opinion that no longer makes any sense.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 - Dec. 21):

If you let your thoughts wander all over the place today you will miss out on something that could make your life a lot easier than it has been of late. Purge your mind of any and all thoughts that don’t move you closer to your ultimate goal.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 - Jan. 20):

Your power to change things has rarely been higher and the thing that needs to change most today is the way you approach one-to-one relationships. For too long your default position has been confrontational and that needs to change most of all.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 - Feb. 19):

Money matters are under good stars at the moment and if you want to get your finances in order you could not pick a better day to get started. It’s not just about making things happen in the world, it’s about getting your thoughts straight as well.

PISCES (Feb. 20 - Mar. 20):

According to the planets someone you are close to emotionally is feeling a bit neglected and your priority today must be to remind them how much you care. Don’t be shy about revealing your feelings for them, because that’s exactly what they need to hear.
