YOUR STAR THIS WEEK

YOUR BIRTHDAY

Born today, you are the kind of person who others have their eyes on all the time. Though you may not always want to be the centre of attention, you cannot avoid it most of the time; you had better get used to it if you're going to avoid feeling trapped throughout much of your life. The truth is that if you adjust your thinking and approach being watched in a different way, you can make use of it and enjoy a great deal as a result — including monetary and other rewards.

Though you are never one to blindly pursue financial gain, you do recognise that it is better to be rich than to be poor. This simple tenet is your guiding light in life, in fact; you never want to go without when you could, with consistent effort, have precisely what you want.

Your creative juices are always flowing, and you are eager to pursue opportunities that are revealed to you in life — personally or professionally. A little clever manoeuvring can result in a long and successful career that is actually fuelled by the attention of others. Your audience, ultimately, may be quite large!

CAPRICORN (DECEMBER 21 — JANUARY 20)

You may have to engage in some last-minute repair work today before something can progress the way you had hoped. Get your tools ready.

AQUARIUS (JANUARY 21 — FEBRUARY 18)

The cause you currently support is in need of more than you can currently offer, but in little time you'll be able to come through.

PISCES (FEBRUARY 19 — MARCH 20)

You know that what you're looking forward to is going to take it out of you, so you must begin preparing right now — today. Plan your course!

ARIES (MARCH 21 — APRIL 19)

All you may need today is a pep talk, and you know just whom to go to for words of wisdom and encouragement. They'll be given gladly.

TAURUS (APRIL 20 — MAY 20)

You can go through the motions, or you can commit fully — the choice is yours, but you must make it today, as it will affect others as well.

GEMINI (MAY 21 — JUNE 20)

You are able to give someone precisely what was promised — on time and beyond your hopes and expectations. This is a great new beginning.

CANCER (JUNE 21 — JULY 21)

You're waiting for an offer that is likely to open many doors for you — but you still have to jump through a few hoops first. Are you ready?

LEO (JULY 22 — AUGUST 22)

It's time for you to set aside anything that distracts you from your primary purpose at this time. Focus on what gets results and maximise gains.

VIRGO (AUGUST 23 — SEPTEMBER 22)

Offering someone else needed assistance will also come back to benefit you at a later date that you cannot yet foresee.

LIBRA (SEPTEMBER 23 — OCTOBER 22)

You're able to match another step for step, but that doesn't mean you'll come out on top. Be sure to employ your unique methods!

SCORPIO (OCTOBER 23 — NOVEMBER 21)

You may be torn between two extremes today, each of which offers you risk and potential reward in equal measure. Listen to your heart!

SAGITTARIUS (NOVEMBER 22 — DECEMBER 20)

Certain things may be obscured right now, especially with regard to the immediate future. Some signs are pointing in unexpected directions.
