IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY

Mercury, your ruler, is strong on your birthday but Venus is weak, so for best results you should follow your head rather than your heart. When your feelings start to take over, stand back from yourself and analyze what is really going on. Master your emotions.

ARIES (March 21 - April 20):

You may prefer to avoid an unpleasant or embarrassing situation rather than face it head-on but deep down you know you are merely postponing the inevitable. Promise yourself you will deal with it today – and it won't bother you again.

TAURUS (April 21 - May 21):

A new person on your social scene will get your attention and you may even be thinking in terms of romance, but the planets warn the relationship is unlikely to last. Keep it low key and light-hearted and you'll both have a lot of fun.

GEMINI (May 22 - June 21):

Neptune can be a disruptive influence and because it is now at odds with love planet Venus it could have a negative effect on affairs of the heart. Promises made in the heat of the night are easily broken in the cold light of day.

CANCER (June 22 - July 23):

If you have doubts about a project others are trying to get you involved in then by all means steer clear of it. Whatever they may say to the contrary there is something about it that does not feel right. Always trust your instincts.

LEO (July 24 - Aug. 23):

With Neptune, planet of illusion, up to its tricks today you could easily make a foolish mistake – and if you do it's unlikely others will be able to get you out of trouble. Know your limits and don't be tempted to go beyond them.

VIRGO (Aug. 24 - Sept. 23):

You must not ignore a loved one's feelings today, not even if you think they are getting emotional for no good reason. You can and you must show some sensitivity. The fact is not everyone is as rational and logically minded as you.

LIBRA (Sept. 24 - Oct. 23):

Someone will try to undermine your confidence today but they won't succeed. You know who you are and you know what you are worth and their words won't change that in any way. It may change the way you think about them though.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22):

No matter how attached you are to a particular idea, something will happen over the next 24 hours that forces you to think again. Could it be you took certain things for granted that you now realize were simply not true? Yes, it could.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 - Dec. 21):

Your attempt to resolve a domestic dispute of some kind is not going to work, at least not today. Neptune, planet of illusion, is making it increasingly hard to see what the real problem is, so stand away and give it some time.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 - Jan. 20):

You want to get as much done as is physically possible but the planets warn you could easily over-extend yourself or, worse, exhaust yourself well before you have reached your target. What's the rush? The work will still be there tomorrow.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 - Feb. 19):

You may not want to admit it but deep down you know that a relationship is not working out the way you had hoped. Do you try again? Or do you admit defeat and go your separate ways? Only you can decide, so give it some thought.

PISCES (Feb. 20 - Mar. 20):

Today's Venus-Neptune link suggests you are likely to lose focus and start wandering around with no idea what direction you should be heading. No change there then! Actually it doesn't matter – fate will always guide you where you need to go.
