Happy birthday for Wednesday, March 29, 2023. If we find ourselves feeling cranky or moody today, chances are we’ve bitten off more than we can chew. Today’s cosmic vibes call for us to keep it simple and take it slow. We can best soothe ourselves with relaxing music or imagery, creature comforts, or an affectionate hug from someone we love. Too, we might be able to improve our mood by focusing more on the future and giving ourselves space to visualise what we’d like to create, rather than ruminating on the past. Doing something enjoyable can help us stay calmly rooted in the present.

ARIES: (March 21 to April 19) It could be easy to get ticked off today, so try not to take anything too personally. Some things just aren’t worth getting worked up about.

TAURUS: (April 20 to May 20) Be mindful of focusing too much on the past or things you can’t change. How can you show more appreciation for what you’ve got right now?

GEMINI: (May 21 to June 20) If you’re not up for socialising or being “on” today, don’t force it. Step back or step away for a little while.

CANCER: (June 21 to July 22) Don’t let the need to impress others push you to take on more than you can handle. If there’s work to be done, it should be a team effort.

LEO: (July 23 to Aug 22) Change is something that’s constant and unavoidable, so try to refrain from expecting the worst. Good things are on the horizon.

VIRGO: (Aug 23 to Sept 22) Now’s not the time to mire yourself in other people’s troubles. Fly free. Take a vacation. Go seek out some joy.

LIBRA: (Sept 23 to Oct 22) The haters and naysayers might try to get to you or bring you down but you don’t have to let them.

SCORPIO: (Oct 23 to Nov 21) You’re an unstoppable force, Scorpio. That doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t look to others for support, advice or encouragement.

SAGITTARIUS: (Nov 22 to Dec 21) Exercising a little impulse control could save you from wasting your time, money or energy. Think in terms of value and practicality.

CAPRICORN: (Dec 22 to Jan 19) People might stress you out today. How will you prioritise your joy and keep the stress under control?

AQUARIUS: (Jan 20 to Feb 18) You might find yourself with lots to do but getting very little done. Take some time to get centred and grounded, and then proceed.

PISCES: (Feb 19 to March 20) Don’t be too quick to say “Yes” to anything. Give yourself time to do a little more research or ask some follow-up questions and then decide.

FOR TODAY’S BIRTHDAY

You’re not afraid to go after what you want, and because of your easy rapport with others, you usually get it. You do things your way and you may not always be keen on compromise, however, you have a knack for getting others to follow your lead, thanks to your wisdom and leadership. You’re tender and affectionate, but you’re also one tough cookie. You’re resourceful and creative enough to handle any difficulties that you encounter. You don’t mind taking risks. This year, you might decide to slow down a bit so that you can focus more on family or your private life.
