HOROSCOPE IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY

There will be times this year when you will be tempted to withdraw from the world at large and instead focus on your inner world, but that would be a waste of your many talents. Others need your kind of can-do dynamic in their lives, so don’t deny them.

ARIES (March 21 – April 20):

If you do someone a favor today, you’ll be in their good books for weeks, months, maybe even years – yes, you really will be that popular. Not that you expect anything in return, of course, you just enjoy being useful.

Taurus (April 21 – May 21):

The thinking planet Mercury in your sign connects with Saturn today, allowing you to see the truth in a situation that confuses others. However, don’t make a fuss if they continue not to keep up – their stupidity can’t hurt you in any way.

TWINS (May 22 – June 21):

You’ve been kept in the dark for far too long and must now insist that your loved ones let you in on their terrible secret. It’s probably not nearly as terrible as you or the others fear, so discuss what you hear, learn from it, and move on together.

CANCER (June 22 – July 23):

You may have had a hard time expressing yourself over the past few weeks, but as Mercury moves through the friendship zone of your chart, you will begin to find your voice. But don’t say too much – words that are chosen carefully have the greatest impact.

LEO (July 24 – August 23):

This is probably not a good time to tell a colleague or employer what you really think of them because once you start listing their flaws and weaknesses, you won’t know when to stop – and it could completely destroy your relationship.

VIRGO (Aug. 24 – Sept. 23):

Mercury, your ruler, is in good shape now, and if you focus your mind in a single direction today, you will discover things that most people fail to recognize. What looks like chaos to them makes perfect sense to your ordered mind.

LIBRA (24 Sept – 23 Oct):

You must find a way to extricate yourself from a situation that is costing you more than you can afford, and will continue to cost you over time. A short-term loss is probably inevitable, but you’d be better off in the long-term.

SCORPIO (Oct 24 – Nov 22):

If you’ve had a hard time reaching your loved ones over the past few weeks, you can now easily catch up as the communication planet Mercury moves through the partnership section of your horoscope. However, the first step must come from you.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 – Dec. 21):

If you feel like your work life is going in circles, do something about it. List all the projects you have going on and cross out the ones that don’t inspire you. The only thing left is what really matters.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22 – Jan 20):

Saturn, your ruler, is merging with the thought planet Mercury today, meaning that all those thoughts that have been running through your mind will come together and make perfect sense. There is a pattern in your existence and you need to know what it is.

AQUARIUS (January 21 – February 19):

You may have had a hard time communicating with a loved one lately — like there’s some sort of invisible barrier between you — but starting today, you and they can open up again. You have so much to tell each other.

PISCES (February 20 – March 20):

Definitely turn on the charm today, but make sure you target it to the right people. Not everyone deserves to feel the warmth of your affection, so save yourself for those who do and don’t leave them in any doubt about how special they are.
