WILLIAM SMITH’S STARS

If today is your birthday

-

You must resolve at the outset of your birthday year to conduct yourself in a thoroughly practical manner. You can realise your aspiration­s by keeping your wits about you and should not permit some adverse phases to defeat your purposes.

ARIES: Mar 21 – Apr 21

Balance your criticism with credit if you feel the need to tackle a companion or associate over a certain point. The aim is to get your message across effectivel­y, and without making an enemy in doing so, so avoid a superior manner. (PHONE 083 9140 601) (SMS ARI to 34703)

TAURUS: Apr 21 – May 21

Be doubly cautious if you are handling corporate finances. Dealing with other people’s money could be stressful. Problems will arise and losses might occur so you must be extremely careful, get guarantees and install safeguards. (PHONE 083 9140 602) (SMS TAU to 34703)

GEMINI: May 21 – Jun 22

Unthinking actions could turn you into your own worst enemy unless you resolve forthwith to jack up your powers of logic and concentrat­ion. You are urged to leave a fairly wide margin for the unexpected. A sudden shock could jolt you. (PHONE 083 9140 603) (SMS GEM to 34703)

CANCER: Jun 22 – Jul 23

Career ambitions and domestic considerat­ions tend to clash, and you may reach a cross-roads in this respect in that you will have to make some hard choices. But resist the temptation to spread yourself and your activities too broadly. (PHONE 083 9140 604) (SMS CAN to 34703)

LEO: Jul 23 – Aug 24

Your sudden and extreme self-interest could damage your closest associatio­ns. You may later regret the consequenc­e if you now spurn the friendship and welfare of your regular companion or familiar clique for selfish considerat­ions. (PHONE 083 9140 605) (SMS LEO to 34703)

VIRGO: Aug 24 – Sep 23

Prevailing confusion in your personal life must be cleared away if you intend putting your affairs in good order. Success is seldom attained without making a diligent effort. Self-denial is also necessary, as you are about to find out. (PHONE 083 9140 606) (SMS VIR to 34703)

LIBRA: Sep 23 – Oct 23

Anticipate a rough ride because fate casts you yet again on a stony road. Drive yourself harder over this stretch because whatever is left unfinished becomes a severe handicap later on. Curb impulsiven­ess; it will pay to be methodical. (PHONE 083 9140 607) (SMS LIB to 34703)

SCORPIO: Oct 23 – Nov 23

A matter of money borrowed and still owed could cause contention. The problem might not be quickly sorted out. Alternativ­ely, dissension may arise over the allotment of jointly held funds. Also a time when valuable items are at risk. (PHONE 083 9140 608) (SMS SCO to 34703)

SAGITTARIU­S: Nov 23 – Dec 22

Your thinking now tends to be cramped; which means that you are currently your greatest enemy. You may express points of view which others judge to be too contentiou­s. You are highly unlikely to get co-operation or sympathy. (PHONE 083 9140 609) (SMS SAG to 34703)

CAPRICORN: Dec 22 – Jan 21

Although there should not be cause for great alarm, domestic difficulti­es are likely to make you anxious and nervous. Clashing opinions will be at the core of disagreeme­nts in your home. The situation could become extremely volatile. (PHONE 083 9140 610) (SMS CAP to 34703)

AQUARIUS: Jan 21 – Feb 20

Idle wishes are wasteful exercises. Practical vision underscore­d with earnest endeavour is an entirely different matter. So you must recognise illusion for what it is, must reason, plan and operate strictly according absolute truths. (PHONE 083 9140 611) (SMS AQU to 34703)

PISCES: Feb 20 – Mar 21

Burning the candle at both ends is asking for trouble. Your health needs pampering now and should not be subjected to any sort of strain so slow down a bit. Look at your diet as well with a view to swapping bad habits for better ones. (PHONE 083 9140 612) (SMS PIS to 34703)
