If it’s your birthday today
To most Taureans, the phrase ‘sudden changes’ rouses worries. However, those triggered by the encounter between your ruler Venus and Uranus, planet of innovation and the unexpected, on your birthday, are more about breakthroughs than anything to be concerned about. Knowing that, at least explore everything that comes your way. This is about discovery, about the new and eventually, delight. What seems least appealing to you initially could soon become one of the great joys of your life.
Aries March 20 – April 18
Most who know you well would assume you’ve no problem saying a firm ‘no’ when the situation requires. While usually that’s true, there are one or two individuals who’re able to bend your will. You know who they are. Unless you’re careful, they could easily compromise your judgement.
Taurus April 19 – May 19
For ages you’ve been tactfully sidestepping several potentially troublesome issues. Thus far, you’ve managed to avoid discussing them. While that may have seemed a victory, now that events are bringing these to a head, discussions will need to go back to the beginning. Still, it will be worth the effort.
Gemini May 20 – June 19
As an inquisitive Gemini, you’ll hear about new ideas and rethink what you’ve arranged, often several times. It happens every day. But now, somebody you care about is reorganising plans, and you’re anxious. Worse, this is one of those times when you can’t really ask what’s behind those changes.
Cancer June 20 – July 21
That you want guarantees the promises you’re being offered are reliable is wise. However, the planetary setup, now and over the coming weeks, indicates that even the simplest of plans will change, and change again. Knowing that, you’re better off adopting an easygoing attitude, one that views the unexpected as an opportunity.
Leo July 22 – August 21
Some say they don’t notice the heightened feelings triggered by the lunar cycle. While you sometimes insist they’ve no power over you, there’s no denying the influence of the current Full Moon. Of even greater significance, this has made you realise how important certain people and passions are to you.
Virgo August 22 – September 21
Almost every Virgo has spent time holding the hand of friends or loved ones who were struggling with dramas. But when it’s you who’s facing difficulties, you’ll often refuse to admit it. Now, however, you’re urged to, if only so you can benefit from the very helpful ideas of others.
Libra September 22 – October 21
There’s no easy way around the obstacles you’re facing. Or at least that’s how it seems now. By early May, however, sudden changes will turn even seemingly impossible situations to your advantage. Knowing that, for now, do the minimum. Others may object, but you can trust instincts that say it’s wise.
Scorpio October 22 – November 20
What began as a minor misunderstanding has blown up into a lengthy, and complex, conversation about a number of problems. Inevitably, the resulting discussions are both demanding and uncomfortable. Still, the effort required is more than justified by your increased understanding of others and, as important, the issues you clear up.
Sagittarius November 21 – December 20
Between the current unsettling Full Moon and Mercury being retrograde, from the 28th, things are unlikely to go as anticipated. Knowing that, you’ll develop an easygoing approach to life. While this is no problem for you, it’s inevitable certain individuals will be far more uptight about those twists and turns.
Capricorn December 21 – January 19
As a Capricorn, your ability to eliminate problems by the sheer force of your will is extraordinary. Yet that doesn’t actually eliminate anything, it only creates a distance between you and those difficulties. Now, begin to acknowledge the source of certain of these issues. It’s how you can end them for good.
Aquarius January 20 – February 18
Although Mercury doesn’t actually go retrograde until the 28th, you’re already dealing with its influence, at least when it comes to plans for late April and most of May. While, obviously, not everything you’ve organised will come undone, ensure arrangements are flexible and should changes be necessary, you’ll make them easily.
Pisces February 19 – March 19
It’s time for a celebration. While you’ve noted progress in several seemingly insurmountable matters, you haven’t actually stopped to give yourself, and those involved, a pat on the back. This variety of acknowledgment both gives you a sense of accomplishment and fuels your enthusiasm to continue with other plans or projects.
