BIRTHDAY THURSDAY:
A change of emphasis is needed over the coming year, allied to a change of heart. Forget about what other people say you should be doing with your life and let your inner voice speak to you. It's the part of you that knows all the answers 鈥� so listen.
ARIES (March 21 - April 20):
You know what you want and you know that sooner or later you will get it, but don't be impatient and don't be pushy when dealing with people who can be every bit as assertive as you. You've got enough opponents as it is 鈥� don't make more.
TAURUS (April 21 - May 21):
Any plans you had to put on hold a few weeks ago can be started up again as from today. Recent setbacks and hold-ups may have been discouraging but looking back from the not too distant future you will realize they served a purpose.
GEMINI (May 22 - June 21):
As Mercury, your ruler, ends its retrograde phase today your powers of persuasion will soon be back to where they were before and even if others were able to deny you in the past they won't be able to deny you now. Move forward with confidence.
CANCER (June 22 - July 23):
Go out of your way to talk to people today, even people you might prefer to avoid. What you hear from a stranger may be just what you need to raise your spirits and get you aiming high again, both in your private life and in your work.
LEO (July 24 - Aug. 23):
If someone tries to get you to put in more hours than you are contracted for you can and you must tell them it isn't going to happen. You may be a nice guy by nature but you don't have to let people bully you. Stand up for yourself.
VIRGO (Aug. 24 - Sept. 23):
You will be able to express yourself more easily now that your ruling planet Mercury is coming out of its retrograde phase. Say what is on your mind and don't be surprised if it shakes things up a little, or even a lot. Be controversial.
LIBRA (Sept. 24 - Oct. 23):
You have been less than happy with developments on the work front of late but you will soon get the chance to change things to your benefit. Speak up about what you see as an injustice and don't be afraid to hurt other people's feelings.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22):
If you have a good idea today you would be wise to keep it to yourself for the time being. Your first instinct may be to tell as many people as possible but if you do that you run the risk of someone else making your idea their own.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 - Dec. 21):
What you hear today may not be 鈥済ood鈥� in the usual sense of the word but it does suggest that the tide is turning and it won't be long before your dealings with certain people get back to normal 鈥� or as close to normal as they've ever been!
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 - Jan. 20):
Mercury, planet of communication, moves in your favor today, making it easy to win round people to your way of thinking. Don't waste your time on trivial matters though 鈥� focus on issues that matter in the wider world. Be a force for change.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 - Feb. 19):
According to the planets you have been expecting too much of yourself and will need to amend your plans over the next few days. The fact is you are human like everyone else and that means you have limits like everyone else. Know them and respect them.
PISCES (Feb. 20 - Mar. 20):
You have found it difficult to trust certain people of late, and no doubt for good reason, but now that mind planet Mercury is ending its retrograde phase you can afford to be a bit more open with them. There is nothing they can do to harm you.
