HOROSCOPES IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY

A lunar eclipse on your birthday means that other people’s issues will affect you in some way, so don’t turn your back on their feelings because that will be like turning your back on your own. Help partners and loved ones come to terms with their fears.

ARIES (March 21 – April 20):

Stop worrying about what are clearly minor problems and adopt a more positive outlook. The planets indicate that you have much to be thankful for and even more to look forward too, so focus on the good things and expect them to get even better.

TAURUS (April 21 – May 21):

If a friend or relative needs a shoulder to cry on then let them bore you with their worries and woes. They are, of course, overreacting to events but once they have broadcast all their negative feelings they will get over them quickly and move on.

GEMINI (May 22 – June 21):

Today’s lunar eclipse could see work colleagues behaving in ways that to you might appear downright idiotic but there is nothing you can do to change the situation so let them get on with it. Their actions could even work in your favour.

CANCER (June 22 – July 23):

If today’s eclipse disrupts your social plans all you can do is accept the situation and adapt as best as you can. Try not to make any hard and fast promises because it is odds on you will have to let people down and that’s not a good look.

LEO (July 24 – Aug. 23):

If you splash the cash on an impulse buy today it is inevitable that you will regret it by the end of the week, so think before you reach for your wallet. If you do give in to temptation though make sure your purchase carries a money-back guarantee.

VIRGO (Aug. 24 – Sept. 23):

One-to-one relationships will be tested by today’s lunar eclipse in your opposite sign and it is essential that you don’t agree to other people’s demands for the sake of a peaceful life. If you give ground once you will be expected to do so again and again.

LIBRA (Sept. 24 – Oct. 23):

It’s not like you to be impatient but the current eclipse will make it hard not to get annoyed with people whose minds move far too slowly for your liking. But why get upset when you know they are not going to change? Strive to stay calm.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24 – Nov. 22):

If someone you usually get along with quite well seems unwilling to meet you halfway today blame it on the lunar eclipse and expect the situation to improve by the end of the week. It’s a good friendship and there’s no reason to put it at risk.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 – Dec. 21):

You may be optimistic by nature but worries of one kind or another will be hard to avoid over the next 24 hours. Instead, let them play out and accept that sometimes even a super confident Sagittarius has deep-seated fears that need to be faced.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 – Jan. 20):

Your thought processes may get a bit muddled over the next 24 hours, so avoid making the kind of decisions that could have long-term consequences. And watch what you say about family and friends, because they won’t take kindly to criticism.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 – Feb. 19):

Because today’s eclipse cuts across the financial axis of your chart you must resist the urge to be extravagant with money, both your own and other people’s. You don’t have to break the bank to have fun – the best things in life are still free.

PISCES (Feb. 20 – Mar. 20):

It’s inevitable that you will get emotional under the influence of today’s lunar eclipse in your sign but you will be smiling again before the week is done, so don’t shed too many tears. Let your feelings come to the surface, then let them float away.
