HOROSCOPE SALLY Brompton ...

HOROSCOPE SALLY Brompton ...

HOROSCOPE SALLY Brompton BIRTHDAY THURSDAY: Sometimes it's okay to be a bit selfish and there will be times over the next 12 months when you really must put your own interests first no matter what that might mean for other people. What you do for yourself will benefit them too later on. ARIES (March 21 - April 20): You must not allow your heart to rule your head today, not even if friends and loved ones beg you to see things their way. If their way is clearly the wrong way you have a duty to point that out to them. It's to their long-term benefit. TAURUS (April 21 - May 21): If you have to tread on a few toes or put a few noses out of joint today then so be it. You may be a nice guy by nature but you have important things to do and cannot afford to let other people's stupidity stand in your way. GEMINI (May 22 - June 21): You may have no end of duties and obligations to fulfil but you need to make time for fun and games as well. You do your best work when you have a smile on your face, so remind yourself what a wonderful life this is and get cracking. CANCER (June 22 - July 23): Don't worry if you feel a bit down in the dumps today because what happens over the weekend will liven things up and present you with the type of opportunities that make you glad to be alive - which is what you should be every day. LEO (July 24 - Aug. 23): Because others trust your judgment so much whatever you say to friends and family members over the next 24 hours will be seen as the truth, so make sure you know what you are talking about. And if you don't know something just say so. VIRGO (Aug. 24 - Sept. 23): You need to stop tormenting yourself about something that happened in the dim and distant past. You may have been partially to blame but the consequences were minor and there is no need to punish yourself for it. It's all part of the rough and tumble of life. LIBRA (Sept. 24 - Oct. 23): Don't try to ignore a situation that clearly needs to be dealt with in a forthright and forceful manner. The fact that someone made an error no longer matters. What does matter is that you help them to find ways to make it right again. SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22): Try not to push yourself too hard today because if you do you will quickly discover that the more effort you put in the less you will get back in return. Also, a more relaxed approach to daily events will do wonders for your mood. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 - Dec. 21): You enjoy a good debate but if you don't feel this is the right time for a deep discussion then don't force it. Even a curious and quarrelsome Sag sometimes needs to switch off their mind and let the events of the world pass them by. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 - Jan. 20): If you cannot be bothered to defend your own interests then you really cannot expect other people to do it for you. You need to snap out of your current lethargic mood and get busy making sure your position in the world is secure. AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 - Feb. 19): You have never been the sort to give up on something just because it is difficult so why are you considering it now? The planets suggest you are very close to making a breakthrough and will hate yourself later on if you stop trying now. PISCES (Feb. 20 - Mar. 20): If you need to ask someone to do you a favor today then come right out with it and don't worry that they might refuse. Chances are they have been hoping you will call on them to assist you and will help out with no questions asked. Discover more about yourself at www.sallybrompton.com
