Celebrating today: comedian Sir Billy Connolly, 75, and actor Stephen Merchant, 43. Aries Mar 21 – Apr 20

If you’re overextending yourself, assess your priorities. If downsizing your lifestyle makes sense, do that. Are you in a dead-end job? Look for a more lucrative position. Whether you must relocate or earn a degree, you can improve your situation. 0905 789 3701**

Taurus Apr 21 – May 21

You’re hearing a lot of praise, but don’t let it go to your head. Resting on your laurels will result in a lost opportunity. Studying for a test, practising your interview skills and compiling a portfolio are more important than attending parties. 0905 789 3702**

Gemini May 22 – June 21

Don’t be so quick to believe someone’s hype. A salesperson will make you excited about an expensive purchase. Once you’ve bought this costly bauble, you’ll realise it does not live up to expectations. It will be practically impossible to get a refund. 0905 789 3703**

Cancer June 22 – July 23

If your heart isn’t in a relationship, put an end to it as soon as possible. Staying with someone because you feel sorry for them is not kind. You’re much better off letting them go. Eventually, they’ll find someone who appreciates their gifts. 0905 789 3704**

Leo July 24 – Aug 23

When torn between home and work, put your energy towards the former. Your family needs you. If your boss wants you at the office more, explain you have personal commitments. By drawing this line in the sand, you’ll avoid an argument. 0905 789 3705**

Virgo Aug 24 – Sep 23

Beware of being brutally honest. A sensitive person won’t be able to handle it. When you’re asked for an opinion, suggest a minor change and temper the comment with a sincere compliment. The sooner you get out of this conversation, the better. 0905 789 3706**

Libra Sep 24 – Oct 23

Don’t be reckless with money. It’s better to conserve your resources than splash out on luxuries. Having the funds for an emergency expense will relieve a great deal of stress. If you don’t have an insurance policy, think about taking one out. 0905 789 3707**

Scorpio Oct 24 – Nov 22

If you’ve promised more than you can deliver, admit it. The sooner a client or customer is notified, the easier it will be to make other plans. Waiting until the last minute will make a bad situation much worse. Your reputation is on the line. 0905 789 3708**

Sagittarius Nov 23 – Dec 21

A project demanding attention to detail gives you a headache. You’re much better at focusing on the big picture than dealing with the practical aspects of work. Teaming up with an eagle-eyed colleague will be helpful. Don’t brush off their concerns. 0905 789 3709**

Capricorn Dec 22 – Jan 20

Pouring all your energy into an intimate relationship is a mistake. You need the support of your friends. Spending some time away from your amour will strengthen your love. Are you single? Resist temptation to steer a friendship into romantic waters. 0905 789 3710**

Aquarius Jan 21 – Feb 19

It’s hard to balance your personal and professional lives. Your career is expanding quickly, leaving you with less time for leisure which dampens your spirits. Don’t despair. After establishing your foothold at work, you can return to social pursuits. 0905 789 3711**

Pisces Feb 20 – Mar 20

Beware of acting like a know-it-all. Bragging about your accomplishments will result in embarrassment. Your scepticism about a quirky individual will quickly turn to admiration. It just goes to show you should never jump to conclusions about people. 0905 789 3712**
