IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY: Not everyone born under the sign of Aries is outgoing and energetic, and there will be times over the coming year when you want nothing more than to be left alone with your thoughts. Make room for your inner life, and your outer life will flourish too.
ARIES (March 21 – April 20): Try not to be suspicious for no good reason as the week begins. You must keep your outlook on life in general positive and constructive at all times. No one wants to hurt you. Most people want to help you.
TAURUS (April 21 – May 21): It’s not like you to waste money on things you don’t need, but with Mars moving through your sign in recent weeks, you may have been a bit impetuous in some of your purchases. Start looking for ways to save cash rather than spend even more.
GEMINI (May 22 – June 21): The pace of life may not be quite so frantic today, but that’s okay. In fact, you will probably quite enjoy the more relaxed atmosphere as the new week begins. Make the most of it because it’s unlikely to last more than a few days.
CANCER (June 22 – July 23): You will get the chance to deal with an issue that has been bothering you on and off for months. You may have to make a decision that won’t be popular in certain circles, but if it’s the only way to move on, then it’s got to be done.
LEO (July 24 – Aug. 23): Something will happen over the next few days that compels you to question some of your most deeply held opinions and beliefs. It may not be an easy experience, but it’s something you need to do. Even a Leo is allowed to change their mind.
VIRGO (Aug. 24 – Sept. 23): Refuse to settle for second best today. The standards you set at the start of the week are the standards you will be judged on throughout the week and well into next month, so aim high and don’t let anyone tell you certain things cannot be done.
LIBRA (Sept. 24 – Oct. 23): You of all people should know that appearances can be deceptive, and according to the planets, you could easily get something back to front, inside out, or upside down today. It might be wise, for now, not to trust everything your senses tell you.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24 – Nov. 22): Try not to scatter your energy in so many directions that you risk failing to accomplish anything of note. There are so many things you could be doing now, but there is one thing you need to focus on to the exclusion of everything else.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 – Dec. 21): Make it look as if you are enthusiastic about what you are expected to do today, even if it’s actually the last thing you want to be working on. The fact is you have no choice in the matter, so smile and make an excellent job of it.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 – Jan. 20): No matter how much someone might provoke you today, you must not rise to the bait. Most likely they are doing it on purpose and hoping you will get angry because they think it will make you look bad. They’re right; it will, so don’t fall for it.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 – Feb. 19): If you hear something today that sounds too good to be true, then most likely, it isn’t true, and you should stay well away from it. Also, if someone tries to sweet talk you into doing something for them, just say no. Put your own needs first.
PISCES (Feb. 20 – Mar. 20): There is something you need to let go of, and no matter what it may have meant to you in the past, if you let go of it now, it will soon be a distant memory. Remember, you don’t have to ask anyone’s permission to make changes.
