IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY
Anything is possible if you want it bad enough, but you always need a plan that will take you from where you are now to where you most want to be. Make it your top priority. Name your dream, then start making it come true.
So many things are going well for you now that you may be wondering if there’s some sort of catch. Even if it does, it won’t get the better of you because you’re far too smart to be fooled. It’s okay to enjoy your good fortune.
TAURUS (April 21 – May 21):
You can probably force people to do your bidding today, but what’s the point if it stirs up bad feelings? A better solution by far would be to use your powers of persuasion, while showing others that what is good for you is also good for them.
If you’re completely honest about what you’ve been doing lately, no one will think less of you, even if your goals are a little questionable. Everyone wants to be your friend now, so make them like you easily.
With Mars and Jupiter dominating the financial area of your chart, money-making opportunities will multiply over the coming days. Don’t hesitate even for a moment. The universe wants you to be rich, so don’t be afraid to act quickly.
Not everyone will agree with your plans for the coming week but that won’t hold you back. If anything, you’ll be even more determined to show skeptics that you know what you’re doing. It’s time they started believing in you more.
Your confidence may be high right now, but the planets are warning you that you might get carried away and do something stupid over the next few days. Overall, the universe is on your side but it can’t help you much if you choose to behave irrationally.
It is not possible to please some people and the planets warn that a particular individual will prove extremely ungrateful over the next 24 hours. It’s very good. Once they have shown their true colors, you can decide not to help them the next time they are in trouble.
You may be confident in your own abilities, but not everyone is convinced that you know what you’re doing. With Venus retrograde in your sign, your self-confidence may not be entirely justified, so think before you act over the next 24 hours.
You’ve never been a rule-follower and you’re not about to start doing what others expect of you. That’s fine, it’s your choice, but don’t be surprised if people in positions of power withdraw their support for you.
The more someone tries to intimidate you today, the less likely it is that you will do what they say. They should have understood by now that you are one of those people whose confidence is such that they are effectively immune to external pressures.
This is one of those days when it may be wise to let others lead the way while you follow at a comfortable distance. This way, you are less likely to suffer the consequences when their plans go awry. A low profile is the best profile.
Many big things seem to be going well for you right now, but over the next few days a number of small things could go wrong. This is probably because you have ignored details that are actually very important. Notice them now.
