HOROSCOPE

Born today, you are known for your tenacity and your longevity — two traits that will surely define you in all that you are and do. You are no stranger to difficulty, and you may have to face one or more taxing situations almost every day — but you have a way of turning such things into positive developments. This leaves observers merely shaking their heads in response to the sheer luck you seem to display again and again. You know, however, that it's not luck, but will: You are determined to come through anything, regardless of what it may require of you emotionally or physically. What is perhaps most remarkable, however, is that through all this, you manage to be a graceful, stylish, positive and goodhumoured individual.

You have tremendous gravitas, and you command the attention of everyone around you when you so choose. You can say more with a look or a tilt of your head than most can with a torrent of words. You recognise excellence and intelligence when you see them, and you almost always choose to spend time with similar types of people. Your presence and influence are sure to be felt today, both professionally and personally. Someone you know combines the two.

You have plenty of tools at your disposal, but it's not the readiness that makes the difference today, but your actual on-the-job performance.

No matter how detailed your plan or how many times you go over it ahead of time, you're likely to miss something. Don't let it get you down!

You are confident that you can deal with anything that comes your way — but you don't want to come across as too eager. Remain calm and collected.

You know how to get certain things done better than anyone else, and today you're likely to enjoy more than one opportunity to prove it.

You may want to divide a certain duty into many smaller tasks and schedule your day so that you can deal with each one at a time.

You may find yourself in a situation that requires you to take the advice of someone you hardly know or do not know at all. This can work out well.

You'll enjoy doing what someone else thought could not be done. Throughout the day, you can demonstrate your daring — and your expertise.

Focus on that which is most familiar to you. Don't let another distract you from what you know to be most important. Lead by example.

You may have to switch roles with someone today to handle, together, a change in schedule. More surprises are in store, too. You may have a little more time than expected today in which to get certain tasks completed. Use extra care when dealing with a friend.
