You&the zodiac
IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY: Here you are, one year older and hopefully another year wiser. A year in which you will be thoroughly tested in several respects, but you should come through it with flying colours if you apply the valuable lessons just recently learnt. ARIES: Mar 21 - Apr 21: Watch yourself when you are on show, so to say. It is easy for you to react in a manner that bedevils your plan. Control any tendency toward intolerance. Brusque and combative behaviour may turn friends into enemies. (SMS ARI to 34703) TAURUS: Apr 21 - May 21: Your usually sympathetic manner could wear thin as a few too many things are expected of you and your resources by those who always appear to be hard up. A show of tough love might be your best way of getting them to help themselves. (SMS TAU to 34703) GEMINI: May 21 - Jun 22: Keep your mind on as even a keel as possible. Do not allow others to influence your thinking and to thereby impair your judgement. This period requires quite a lot of discretion from you. Take care with all important personal decisions. (SMS GEM to 34703) CANCER: Jun 22 - Jul 23: Avoid being insensitive and argumentative in your home. Be compassionate with those relatives of a different generation to yours – forgive their faults and shortcomings. Simply set some good examples for others to see and to emulate. (SMS CAN to 34703) LEO: Jul 23 - Aug 24: Stress might be prevalent in your surroundings or relationships. Make certain you are not numbered among those who are inclined to throw tantrums. Try to be a calming influence in dealing and negotiating with others. (SMS LEO to 34703) VIRGO: Aug 24 - Sep 23: Control your reactions to matters of rather inconsequential nature because combative responses will result in nasty conflicts. Do not get mad over what is actually of minor concern. Gloss over such things – focus on the big picture. (SMS VIR to 34703) LIBRA: Sep 23 - Oct 23: Emotional excitability among certain companions could unsettle your nerves. An upset over which you have no control may infringe badly on your plans for this cycle. Distance yourself from all squabbles and strife. (SMS LIB to 34703) SCORPIO: Oct 23 - Nov 23: There are times, such as now, when you do not find it easy or perhaps convenient to disclose the true nature of your thoughts, but be warned that your current protective shield could work against you as much as it works for you. (SMS SCO to 34703) SAGITTARIUS: Nov 23 - Dec 22: Avoid making definite commitments at this stage because they are liable to be afflicted by muddles, misunderstandings and mistakes. Events may promise much but you would be unwise to set your hopes too high because upsets could ensue. (SMS SAG to 34703) CAPRICORN: Dec 22 - Jan 21: You are now far too self-centred for your own good. Resolve to be more accommodating and expansive or you will become unpopular and miss opportunities to forge ahead. Guard against squandering energy on costly distractions. (SMS CAP to 34703) AQUARIUS: Jan 21 - Feb 20: The presence of a person with whom you are incompatible could render you quite antagonistic. Not the best of phases for friendship, as certain individuals might attempt to misuse you to achieve their selfish objectives. (SMS AQU to 34703) PISCES: Feb 20 - Mar 21: You may need to look behind the scenes in a certain troublesome situation and might have to pose some probing questions. There are obstacles and opposition to contend with, yet you can still manoeuvre some conditions to your advantage. (SMS PIS to 34703)
