YOUR STAR THIS WEEK

YOUR BIRTHDAY

Born today, you are likely to burst on the scene in a way that ensures you will be the centre of attention for quite some time. You know how to change the dynamic of a room simply by entering it — for all you have to do is be yourself, your wonderful, unpredictable self. You never feel the need to be consistent in anything you do. This can prove beneficial in any number of professions you may choose, but you will have to come to terms with the fact that it can wreak havoc with your personal life. Indeed, a lasting love may not be your destiny, simply because you may not be able to commit to only one person.

You make decisions quickly, and once you have made up your mind about something you aren't likely to change it — even when you are faced with overwhelming evidence that is contrary to your point of view. So are you stubborn, or just confident that you are right? The answer is that you are both — or either, depending on someone's point of view.

CAPRICORN (DECEMBER 21 — JANUARY 20)

You'll find yourself rising to an occasion in fine form, doing something in a way that surprises even you. This is only the beginning.

AQUARIUS (JANUARY 21 — FEBRUARY 18)

You are relying on friends for more than companionship and moral support. You need them right now in ways that you hadn't anticipated.

PISCES (FEBRUARY 19 — MARCH 20)

You're eager to see if your recent efforts will begin to pay off soon — but you may not have to wait any longer. Today may be the day.

ARIES (MARCH 21 — APRIL 19)

You understand the value of a certain relationship far more than anyone else, and you're not willing to sever it in the name of convenience.

TAURUS (APRIL 20 — MAY 20)

You may wish you were somewhere else, but the fact is that you are exactly where you belong, and can do much good if you concentrate!

GEMINI (MAY 21 — JUNE 20)

Practice may not make perfect, but you'll be able to put in a better performance because your preparations were complete.

CANCER (JUNE 21 — JULY 21)

You may want to limit your exposure at this time, but there are still things that others will want to know about you — like it or not!

LEO (JULY 22 — AUGUST 22)

You may find yourself bouncing between two very high-pressure influences today. This will result in difficulty when it comes to making decisions.

VIRGO (AUGUST 23 — SEPTEMBER 22)

You'll have to do what others tell you to do throughout much of the day. At some point, however, you'll be free to do what you want to do.

LIBRA (SEPTEMBER 23 — OCTOBER 22)

You can show others the “proper” way to get a certain thing done — but that doesn't mean you'll do it that way when the pressure mounts.

SCORPIO (OCTOBER 23 — NOVEMBER 21)

You are feeling adventurous, and may choose to go solo through territory that is riskier than it appears to be.

SAGITTARIUS (NOVEMBER 22 — DECEMBER 20)

It'll be your turn soon, and you must be ready. Don't let anyone tell you that this doesn't count: It's what it's all about!
