Build self-confidence by being self-disciplined. Don’t expect loved ones to follow your Spartan example. Treat business acquaintances respectfully and show appreciation towards family members.

You should control an uncontrollable urge to head off on a frivolous shopping spree. You are likely to buy something that breaks quickly or quickly outlives its usefulness.

TAURUS April 20-May 20
There is always the problem of keeping things in balance when you place someone on a pedestal. Illusions could be shattered if you read too much into thoughtless words or invest in fantasies.
GEMINI May 21-June 20
Choose to be happy. Happiness is a choice that you can make by simply controlling your reactions to criticism. You have the strength to retreat from those who are overbearing and unkind.

LEO July 23-Aug 22
It is said that the only things that are certain are death and taxes. Don’t gamble or take a chance with large sums of money. You may be too dazzled by the potential benefits to see pitfalls.
VIRGO Aug 23-Sept 22
Be a realist. It doesn’t matter how much you want to help someone else. Some people simply don’t want to be helped. Stand on your own two feet and let other people stand on theirs.
LIBRA Sept 23-Oct 22
Enhance your public image by chatting up those in the know. You may be inspired by hard working role models. Love and romantic ideas play second fiddle to necessity this weekend.
SCORPIO Oct 23-Nov 21
Less is more. You might realise that achieving your ambitions requires stripping down to essentials or making a sacrifice. Be cautious about accepting information at face value.
SAGITTARIUS Nov 22-Dec 21
Wishful thinking never earned a cent. Someone may give you credit for something you haven’t actually accomplished. Don’t accept kudos for anything unless deserve it.
If today is your birthday:
You can enjoy being at the centre of group activities and be successful at social networking during the upcoming three to four weeks. Throughout January and February your desire for material success may blind you to everything else. You could take an online course or practice a new skill. Learn your craft well, bide your time and wait until April, when your business acumen is at its best, to put your financial plans or a career change into motion.
