TODAY I’m celebrating my birthday. And what gift has the cosmos prepared for me? Wrapped up in a bow and pretty paper, here comes Mars exploding out of its box and into my sign, Libra!

And its sojourn in this sector of the zodiac provides us all with the ability to fight for better balance in our lives.

ARIES Mar 21 - Apr 20

OUR actions have consequences. We know that. But there are still times when we like to bury our heads in the sand and pretend that they don’t. We tell ourselves we’ll deal with any issues as and when they arise. Why deal with a difficulty today, when we’ve got an eternity of tomorrows? This is the point when we need to remind ourselves of the old maxim, ‘tomorrow never comes’. Except, of course, it does.

VIRGO Aug 24 - Sep 23

YOU’VE been carefully considering all the ‘ifs’ and ‘buts’ of a situation. You’ve thought about different theories and premises, yet you’re working with people whose interests are best served by a delay; they prefer talking to taking action, which is why they’re encouraging you to prevaricate.

ARE you feeling the boost of energy that accompanies the arrival of Mars in your sign?

HOW far have you got to go? Isn’t the writing already on the wall?

SAGITTARIUS Nov 23 - Dec 21

IT IS easy to be hypersensitive when we’re not feeling our best. The slightest hint of criticism, which we might not even have noticed had we been in a better mood, makes us feel vulnerable. The simplest task becomes a mountain of such height we can’t even approach it. Each setback compounds our mood, so we end up feeling worse. Yet a minor injection of positivity can turn things around. As Mars settles into a new sign, it brings you such an experience this weekend. How can you benefit from this week’s powerful astrological outlook? It can change your life. For good news, call 0906 751 5609.

CAPRICORN Dec 22 - Jan 20

WHEN a person we love is upset, we’ll do anything to protect them from more hurt and try to cheer them up. What they don’t know can’t hurt them . . . or can it? Is it ever OK to sweep a difficult situation under the rug and tell a person only the absolute need-to-know basics? Or can we sometimes tell a tiny white lie? Is there a way to find the middle ground between speech and silence, openness and deception? This weekend, the important thing is to remember that honesty really is the best policy.

AQUARIUS Jan 21 - Feb 19

IS THERE any point in giving you a new horoscope today? Why can’t I just recycle one from last week, or the month before? But I believe in you too much for that. You’re not simply going around in circles, veering between a selection of emotions, enduring the same, never-ending dramas over and over again. You live for variety, ingenuity and discovery. Or at least a very significant part of you does. It’s this side of your personality that you need to acknowledge and harness this weekend. In a week of powerful cosmic activity, take advantage of the potential for transformation. Call 0906 751 5611.

PISCES Feb 20 - Mar 20

THEY say ‘credit where credit’s due’. Yet there are times when receiving recognition for your effort isn’t the most important thing, or the reason for your hard work.

You know what you’ve achieved behind the scenes. This weekend, enjoy the inner glow. You’ve got lots to look forward to! Find inspiration in your latest four-minute forecast. Call 0906 751 5612.
