IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY
As love planet Venus links with passion planet Pluto on your birthday your appetite for affection will impact your every waking moment. Remind yourself daily that universal love is what you should be aiming for. Strive for a higher form of desire.
ARIES (March 21 – April 20):
Try not to get emotional about what is happening in the world around you. If you want to help change things for the better, you need to keep calm and keep thinking clearly – that alone will give you an advantage over the bad guys.
TAURUS (April 21 – May 21):
There will be a number of challenges in your life over the next few days but you are well equipped to deal with them. The measured way you go about tasks that would terrify other people will impress and inspire in equal measure.
GEMINI (May 22 – June 21):
Mercury begins its retrograde phase in your opposite sign this weekend, so be careful when dealing with partners and colleagues. If you leave any doubt in their minds about what you are up to they will assume you are up to no good!
CANCER (June 22 – July 23):
The more complex your plans are the more likely it is they will fall apart this weekend, so keep them simple and focus on major points only. If you try to make every little thing make sense then most likely nothing will make sense.
LEO (July 24 – Aug. 23):
You have so much going for you at the moment and you also have total self-belief but don’t get carried away. The planets warn that no matter how good you may be you won’t always come out on top, so pick your battles with care.
VIRGO (Aug. 24 – Sept. 23):
Your ruling planet Mercury begins its retrograde phase this weekend, which means there will be times when what should make sense makes no sense at all. That will apply double on the home front, so don’t be too critical of the people you love.
LIBRA (Sept. 24 – Oct. 23):
You can, if you wish, force through unpopular changes but in doing so you may create bad feelings that come back at you at a later date. If there is resistance to your plans this weekend maybe just leave it for a while.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24 – Nov. 22):
If you find yourself in an uncomfortable situation over the next 48 hours just get up and walk away. You may not want to give the impression that you are admitting defeat but the planets warn this is a battle of wits that no one can win.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 – Dec. 21):
You may believe there are things going on behind the scenes that are unlikely to work out in your favour, and you may be right, but don’t make an issue of it. If you pick a fight this weekend there is a real danger you could lose.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 – Jan. 20):
As mind planet Mercury turns retrograde in the most deceptive area of your chart this weekend you should act on the assumption that what other people call “facts” may be nothing of the sort. Make sure you hear every side of every story.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 – Feb. 19):
For best results both at home and at work this weekend you must listen to the deepest part of your nature. Find a place where the distractions of the world are at a minimum, then quiet your mind and tune in to the wisdom of the universe.
PISCES (Feb. 20 – Mar. 20):
As one of the zodiac’s water signs you can be overly emotional at times and that could cause problems in your career. No matter what happens on the work front over the next 48 hours act as if it doesn’t matter – because, really, it doesn’t.
