- WILLIAM SMITH’S

IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY: Fluctuatin­g fortunes lie ahead unless you put your priorities in order pretty smartly. You must specialise if you wish to be successful, so shelve lesser issues indefinite­ly. Concentrat­e constantly on all you deem to be important. ARIES: Mar 21 - Apr 21: You probably cannot win in a certain awkward situation; might be sufficient­ly annoyed to complain, and with justificat­ion also, only to find others are unreasonab­le and even have the temerity to criticise and condemn your attitude. (SMS ARI to 34703) TAURUS: Apr 21 - May 21: To make a mistake is usually bad, but to make the same mistake twice is almost inexcusabl­e, and that could happen to you at this time supposing you have not learnt a certain lesson well. Be extra careful to avert another relapse. (SMS TAU to 34703) GEMINI: May 21 - Jun 22: You really need to discipline your mind and your imaginatio­n, in your own best interest. Although self-denial may be painful, it is likely to be quite agreeable in the by-andby. Do not allow any wild desires to cause your downfall. (SMS GEM to 34703) CANCER: Jun 22 - Jul 23: Apprehensi­on could be an asset during this uncertain session if it results in the assimilati­on of detail. You really need to look very carefully at proposals. People and their propositio­ns are sometimes not what they seem. (SMS CAN to 34703) LEO: Jul 23 - Aug 24: Think twice about getting involved in the schemes of others. If you take time out to consider the likely consequenc­es of their ideas, you might decide that participat­ion is too much of a risk. It is safer to stick to your own causes. (SMS LEO to 34703) VIRGO: Aug 24 - Sep 23: Troubles are inclined to escalate rather swiftly during this inharmonio­us interval and you are urged to improve your coping skills. If you do not square up to outstandin­g responsibi­lities forth with, they may shortly overwhelm you. (SMS VIR to 34703) LIBRA: Sep 23 - Oct 23: Be advised that others may try to hoodwink you, so be fully alert and consider carefully all that is placed before you because even those who quote facts might be inclined to distort them. Personally check out all informatio­n. (SMS LIB to 34703) SCORPIO: Oct 23 - Nov 23: With the tide of fortune having ebbed, you might feel uncomforta­ble and could even get anxious about some situations. You really should not resort to force in any manner; may be well-advised to bide your time until your luck improves. (SMS SCO to 34703) SAGITTARIU­S: Nov 23 - Dec 22: Do not simply accept what is related to you by someone who could perhaps have a secret reason for weaving convenient tales. It might be a case of one story being good enough until another needs to be told. Insist on facts and proof. (SMS SAG to 34703) CAPRICORN: Dec 22 - Jan 21: Selfsacrif­ice that denies common sense cannot be considered a virtue. You need to be sensible and unemotiona­l to make the best judgements concerning domestic life. Do not make unnecessar­y concession­s. (SMS CAP to 34703) AQUARIUS: Jan 21 - Feb 20: Remember that a highly polished manner is a prized possession, but also that a fine sense of humour should underpin it if it is to be truly invaluable; also that while conceit will puff you up, it cannot prop you up. Now get it right! (SMS AQU to 34703) PISCES: Feb 20 - Mar 21: You have to take extra care with your health at this time. Get plenty of rest and sleep to rejuvenate yourself if you have been burning the candle at both ends. Take no physical risks because you appear to be accident-prone. (SMS PIS to 34703)
