IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY You don't need to choose between your private life and your career, there is plenty of room for them both. Take an hour or two on your birthday to draw up a master plan for the coming 12 months – and pack into it everything that makes you smile. What occurs today, either in your private life or in the wider world, will help you see the bigger picture and recognize that most things happen for a reason. Once you know that you should find it easier to act, because you know what you do has meaning. As one of the zodiac's Earth signs you are not the sort to give up easily, or even at all, and if you keep plugging away at what you are working on it will come good eventually. Staying power is so important, even more so than intelligence. If you find it difficult to keep your mind on the job today then stop trying so hard and give yourself time to relax. There are some major changes going on behind the scenes at the moment, so you probably won't be missed if you take a break. Venus and Jupiter join forces in your sign today, making this the perfect time to get together with friends and loved ones and have a good time. Forget about your chores for a while and do only what makes you feel good about yourself. Has someone got it in for you or is it just your imagination working overtime? Most likely it's the latter, so don't be so suspicious and do make an effort to get to know what they are up to. You may even decide to help them in their efforts. If you are smart you will resist the urge to answer back at someone who says something incredibly stupid. They are not the kind of individual you can have a reasoned debate with, so why waste your time on them? Pretend they don't exist. If you stand back and let other people make the running today you will save yourself a lot of time and effort and still end up at the place you were hoping to reach. Sometimes it pays to be the face in the crowd that doesn't stand out. You need to remind yourself today that time is not a factor in what you are doing. In fact, it will pay you to consciously move a bit more slowly than usual, because any mistakes you make will add minutes, maybe even hours, to your journey. No matter how tempted you may be to let others in on a secret of some kind you must keep it to yourself for the time being. Knowledge is power and the less your rivals know about what is going on the more power you will have. If you make it your business to assist a friend in need over the next 24 hours the universe will go out of its way to reward you in the future. Not that you need an incentive – you will do it anyway out of the goodness of your heart. Your good humour will light up whatever social situation you find yourself in today. The more friends and colleagues are feeling a bit down the more determined you will be to cheer them up. Their tears of sadness will soon become tears of joy. A change of direction in your life is clearly necessary but there is no reason why it should be a scary one. Nothing stays the same forever and what comes next will be more exciting, and more profitable, than what went before, so embrace the change. Discover more about yourself at

Although there will be some challenging events over the next 12 months the influence of Jupiter in your sign will keep your spirits high and make it easy to believe that you can overcome any and all odds. That belief will make it a fact. The message of the stars today is that you will feel a lot better, about life in general and about yourself in particular, if you can bring yourself to forgive someone who has wronged you. Why let their stupidity make life miserable for you? It's a good thing you possess a robust sense of humour because what occurs today will test your patience to the limit. The best way to deal with challenging situations is to find ways to laugh at them, even if some people think you are mad. Information that comes your way today may sound alarming but it won't be anywhere near as bad as you think it is, so stay calm and let the situation work itself out. You can have fun watching others rush around worrying that the sky is about to fall. Tomorrow's full moon in your opposite sign will cause some people to get ridiculously emotional but you are not about to let their madness rub off on you. If you allow only good thoughts to enter your head then only good things will happen. If you are not in the mood to play games then don't force it just to please other people. You are under no obligation to laugh at their stupid jokes, even less so their stupid actions. Keep yourself to yourself over the next 24 hours. The fact that you do not personally agree with a friend's way of getting things done is not justification enough to try to stop them. If they are sincere in their beliefs, and breaking no laws, then stand back and let them get on with it. Remind yourself that nothing comes for free in life and keep plugging away at what you are working on. A major breakthrough is now just days away and as one of the zodiac's cardinal signs you know that your hard work is sure to pay off. If you honestly believe that you are not getting the recognition your deserve then make a fuss about it, but make sure you have the facts and figures to back up your case because your rivals won't just give you the benefit of the doubt. You seem to be in one of those moods when the more people try to help you the more suspicious you get about their motives. The good news is this is only a temporary phase and you will soon be back to your good-natured self. The approaching full moon in your sign warns you need to be extra careful when dealing with people who know how to press your emotional buttons. You may have kept your feelings in check in recent weeks but you cannot afford to relax your guard. The planets suggest you have been kicking yourself mentally over a mistake that either wasn't your fault or could not be avoided. You need to get over the matter before your rivals realize how sensitive you are and play on your feelings of guilt. While a number of small things may be going against you at the moment the overall prognosis is extremely good, so stop worrying about how the future might work out and focus on enjoying what is in front of you now. Live for the moment. Discover more about yourself at
