See your stars for 25th August 2015

IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY

Don’t worry too much if you are still unsure about what it is you want from life. Take each day as it comes and focus on getting the most in value and enjoyment between the hours of sun-up and sundown. The inner you is in control.

ARIES (March 21 - April 20):

A confident approach is a must today. If your rivals get the idea that you are having doubts they won’t hesitate to exploit them and that could lead to a serious setback later in the week. Pretend you don’t have a care in the world.

TAURUS (April 21 - May 21):

Try not to take anything or anyone too seriously over the next 24 hours. If you find yourself thinking about one thing to the exclusion of everything else that is a sure sign you have become infatuated about something and that isn’t healthy.

GEMINI (May 22 - June 21):

At some stage today you will start to wonder if maybe the powers that be have got it in for you, but common sense should tell you it is your state of mind that is making things seem tougher than they really are. Life will get easier very soon.

CANCER (June 22 - July 23):

Travel and social plans are likely to be disrupted today and for several days to come, although nothing too drastic will happen as long as you look ahead, make allowances and make sure you have not forgotten anything important.

LEO (July 24 - Aug. 23):

Think carefully before committing yourself to anything of a financial nature today. You may be eager to boost your earning power but the planets warn there is a real chance that someone is keeping from you facts you need to know.

VIRGO (Aug. 24 - Sept. 23):

You are strongly advised to be suspicious of everything you see and hear. Neptune, planet of confusion, is making things harder to understand than they need to be and if you are not careful you could be the one who loses as a result.

LIBRA (Sept. 24 - Oct. 23):

A rethink of your aims may be a good idea but don’t change anything before getting advice from people you know you can trust. You are a little confused at the moment and it might be the case that you don’t have to change anything at all.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22):

What you have to say over the next 24 hours will not be what certain people want to hear, so don’t be surprised if they try to twist your words. The message you have to deliver is of major importance, so keep repeating it.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 - Dec. 21):

According to the planets you have been worrying for no good reason about something you thought mattered a lot but which in fact is of no importance at all. Which just goes to show that even a wise Sag can be fooled now and again.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 - Jan. 20):

There will be plenty in the way of rumour today but precious little in the way of hard facts, so don’t jump to conclusions. When even those in positions of authority have no idea what is going on there is not much point making plans.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 - Feb. 19):

Try to be a bit more laid back about money matters today – but not so laid back that it seems as if you no longer care. If you have any bright ideas about how to increase profits you must speak up and let partners and colleagues know.

PISCES (Feb. 20 - Mar. 20):

You know you can trust your own instincts but can you trust other people’s instincts? With Neptune, your ruler, undergoing one of its retrograde phases it might be wise not to take what others tell you at face value over the next 24 hours.
