Aries
Born between: March 21st - April 19th
Aries often are active people with great dynamics which allows them to be brave and therefore inspiring to others. Often hot headed those born under Aries will be strong-willed, determined and life-long friends.
Although you often give the impression of being carefree and happy-go-lucky, underneath that cheerful exterior you can be very sensitive and easily hurt. And this is one of those days when you feel particularly vulnerable and exposed, making you highly attuned to the merest hint of emotional rejection. So if someone can't spare you much time, you'll automatically put the worst possible interpretation on it even if this is far from the truth.
Today's Full Moon is urging you to face up to any worries that are currently nagging away at the back of your mind. Although you'd probably like to pretend that such anxieties don't exist, they aren't going to vanish of their own accord. Instead, you've got to do something about them, and the sooner the better. It will be a relief to take some constructive action at last.
If a friend is recounting a story to you, bear in mind that they aren't the most reliable witness in the world right now. They may be placing undue emphasis on certain aspects of their tale, perhaps because they want to gain your sympathy or make you reach a particular conclusion. You may also be guilty of this, even if you aren't aware of it at the time.
Your heightened emotions could be your friend or foe today. It all depends on how you use them and what's going on around you. If you're with people that you can trust, you'll have some profound insights into your feelings about them. But if you're with people who put you on your guard, your imagination will start to run riot and you'll end up feeling confused about people's motives.
Boredom is just a blink away today, so find constructive ways to keep it at bay. The moment you start to get fed up you'll want to stir up a little trouble or do things that make people sit up and take notice, both of which could land you in hot water. Is your present mood further proof that your daily schedule is tedious enough to make a chronic insomniac drop off to sleep? If so, you must decide what you're going to do about it.
An older woman is feeling emotional and might even become overwrought at some point today. As a result, you'll feel you've got to tiptoe around her to avoid a scene. But maybe all she really needs is a big hug or some kind words. Try to oblige, even if she isn't exactly your favourite person or you're getting fed up with what you see as her histrionics. What will it cost you, anyway?
Children will be even more playful than usual until early September so you have to keep an eye on them. Make sure they've got plenty to occupy their active brains, otherwise they might get into trouble. Older loved ones could also be up to a few pranks, such as playing practical jokes on you or teasing you at every opportunity. You'll want to give as good as you get!
It will do you good to spend time with a kindred spirit now. You'll enjoy talking about subjects that mean a lot to both of you, particularly if they have spiritual or philosophical overtones. Conversations like this will help to bring the two of you closer together. If you haven't heard recently from a friend who lives far away, make contact with them now to check that they're okay.
If you want to get on with your work today and you're surrounded by other people, you'd better wear some ear-plugs. Otherwise, you're likely to be distracted by a lot of chatter and gossip. Do your best to confine these chats to your breaks or lunch-hour. When you are able to work you'll find it easy to put your thoughts down on paper, so get writing.
Life has been good fun recently but from today you realize that you've got to start paying more attention to your work. Boring! Or is it? It doesn't have to be, especially if you're prepared to put your heart and soul into your job. If the thought of that is laughable in the extreme, then maybe this is your chance to start looking for a job that offers you better prospects or more satisfaction.
Put on your best clothes and make a beeline for the nearest social event or party. It's exactly what you're in the mood for and you'll be on sparkling form. This is just what you need if you're hoping to woo a certain person with your charms so they fall in a breathless heap at your feet. Both you and I know that they'd be a fool to resist you when you're in this sort of mood.
Someone tries your patience today when they behave like a boring old fuddy-duddy or they persist in being as doom-laden as possible. For instance, you'll offer them a biscuit and they'll give you a lecture on saturated fats, or you'll mention your plans for the house and they'll suck their teeth and look doubtful. Let them get on with it but don't be affected by it.
It's one of those days when you'll have to anchor your eyebrows with heavy weights to avoid them going into orbit when you hear what some people are saying. They may be spouting complete nonsense, as far as you're concerned, or being so futuristic that you feel you're in the middle of a science fiction film. Try to listen to what they say with an open mind, because there's a chance that you're being reactionary and a bit of a stick-in-the-mud. Yes, you!
Are you feeling brave Aries? If so, you'll have no qualms about standing up to someone who's in a very vociferous and opinionated mood. You might have quite a ding-dong, with neither of you prepared to concede an inch. You can't change the other person's attitude but you can do something about your own, especially if you're in danger of cutting off your nose to spite your face.
If you want to make things happen or move a project one step closer to completion, roll up your sleeves and give it your best shot now. You're feeling sure-footed and confident, and this will carry you through any sticky patches that might crop up. Things will also go well if you're in the throes of buying or selling your home, with people being surprisingly co-operative.
If you've been feeling lovelorn and lonely, here's some marvellous news - you could fall head over heels in love with someone wonderful during the next two weeks. If you're already part of a happy couple, the atmosphere between you will be really harmonious and easy-going. There could also be some good news about a child or forthcoming celebration. Enjoy yourself!
If you've been wondering when to have a family pow-wow about something, this is a great day for it. Everyone concerned is in a considerate and tactful mood, which is a major bonus for a start, and they're also interested in talking about whatever's on the agenda. You'll manage to choose your words with care so you can avoid treading on any toes or ruffling any feathers.
You gain a lot of comfort from immersing yourself in your daily routine today. Sometimes it seems boring or restrictive, but right now it has a certain charm. Food will play a big part in your life, so consider buying something special to eat or cooking a delicious meal. If you're doing some entertaining, you'll probably make much more food than everyone can eat.
Don't panic - it's Friday the 13th but that's no reason to worry. In fact, you're all set for a really enjoyable day, even though there could be some surprising events along the way. At some point you might have an unexpected visitor or a loved one could drop a mini bombshell that catches you completely unawares.
The more open and receptive you are to what is going on around you, the more you'll learn now. If you're serious about making big changes to your life, another piece of the jigsaw will fall into place today, giving you a better idea of what to aim for in the future. There's a strong sense that destiny is holding you in its hand, yet you're also able to call a lot of the shots yourself.
Someone is in a very sentimental and nostalgic mood today, and you may end up having to placate them to avoid them going off the deep end or bursting into tears. If you're the one who's gazing at the past through rose-tinted spectacles, have a lovely, nostalgic wallow and then bring yourself back to the present. Above all, resist the temptation to rewrite history and make yourself believe things that never really happened.
Keep an eagle eye on paperwork and files during the next couple of weeks because they'll have a nasty habit of doing their own thing and causing havoc. This isn't a time to trust to luck or hope that everything will magically look after itself because that isn't going to happen. There could also be mix-ups over appointment times, so check these carefully.
Money could quickly become a source of problems now, particularly if a certain someone is convinced that they know what you should be spending your cash on. Naturally, they'll disagree with you about what you want to buy, and they may even be prepared to go into a sulk if you don't play by their rules. As this is the last thing you'll do, so a row seems almost inevitable.
You'll be happiest if you can gather your loved ones around you now. You want to know that they're okay, and the best way to do that is to see it with your own eyes. Even if you go into mother-hen mode at some point because you're concerned about someone, you'll manage to do it without making too much of a fuss, which would be self-defeating.
Over the next couple of days try to find the time for a good, long look at your home and garden. Could they do with a facelift? Even a few minor adjustments, such as moving around the furniture or buying some new cushions, could make all the difference to the mood and feel of your surroundings. However, beware of a tendency to blow your budget and then spend even more money.
One of the major themes in your life throughout 2004 is change, and you're reminded about it once again this Friday. You're becoming increasingly aware of the need to make some radical transformations, especially where your health, work or beliefs are concerned, and these take on a sense of urgency now. If you've been scared of making the first move, you're now ready to give it a try. In fact, you've reached the point where you realize that you've got more to lose by holding on to the status quo than by surrendering it and taking your chances.
You're wreathed in smiles today and feeling much better than you have so far this August. You've recaptured your joie de vivre and you'll find all sorts of ways to enjoy yourself now. Play one of your favourite pieces of music when you're in the car, treat yourself to a delicious snack with your coffee or get in touch with someone who always makes you laugh.
Ideally, you should steer clear of anything that really stirs up your emotions today, otherwise you're likely to go over the top in some way. That, of course, is easier said than done because your heart is definitely ruling your head right now. Be particularly careful when dealing with topics that touch on your fears or stir up painful memories that you've been trying to bury.
This is a good day to make sure that your domestic and family plans are running smoothly. You'll want to check up on all sorts of details, without getting caught up in trivia or worrying about things that will never happen. If you've been concerned about the welfare of a loved one, have a chat with them to make sure they're OK. They'll appreciate it.
You're in rather an eccentric mood right now, which means you might do anything given half a chance. Although it will be liberating to do things on the spur of the moment, try not to behave in reckless ways that will only lead to trouble in the long run. You should also be wary of trying to shock people out of what you see as their complacent attitude. This might be masking deep feelings that deserve your respect rather than your ridicule.
Technology is great when it works and a total pain when it doesn't. Unfortunately, it looks as though this will be one of those days when you're driven up the wall by machines that refuse to do what you tell them. Your computer might stage a big sulk or your phone might go on the blink. To make matters worse, you're being bombarded by too much information and you can't take it all in. What a day!
