HOROSCOPE

Born today, you are likely to find yourself carrying a banner of some sort for any number of important causes at many times in your life. This is because you are just the kind of person who can be trusted with such a responsibility — and you are the kind to take it quite seriously as well. You feel things very deeply, and you're not one to discount the feelings of others; you understand that if an issue is important, there is little one can do to change that — no matter whether you agree with it. You strive throughout your life to focus on those things that really matter, and to leave the trivial stuff to those who enjoy getting caught up in it. For you, only those issues that really engage your heart and mind are worth your time — and when you do dedicate yourself to something, you do so for the duration. You're not the kind to give up on something you believe in.

You may not always display the greatest physical strength, and your health may at times be of concern to you and your loved ones. It is important for you to eat right and get the rest you need, lest you push yourself too far and endanger your health needlessly. You must always take necessary precautions when in unusual situations.

It's a good time to pursue justice in a case that has been too long forgotten by most others. You're working for something worthwhile.

A lull in your day gives you just the opportunity you need to restock and prepare yourself for a challenge that's quickly coming your way.

You're working on an assumption that is proved faulty at least midway through the day. You have time to change course as necessary.

You are in no mood to break with tradition right now, despite someone else's rather persuasive arguments. Keep things going the way they are.

Two vocal individuals are pulling you in two different directions at this time. Soon you'll have the chance to voice your clear opinion.

You shouldn't have to say much, but now and then today you will want to throw out a reminder to someone who doesn't have his eye on the clock.

You're going to have to repeat yourself — in word and deed — at least two or three times today. It's important that you get things right.

Someone close to you is willing to sacrifice something in order for you to progress at a quicker pace. Show your gratitude; share the spoils.

As soon as you discount someone else's views on a certain topic, they are likely to be validated. Why not listen to all voices today? If it's left to you to organise and oversee, a planned project will come off without a hitch. Otherwise, difficulties may ensue.

While there are no outright guarantees of success, you can surely increase the odds today by doing what comes naturally. You may find yourself trading places with someone who is eager to see what things look like from your perspective — and vice versa.
