Naseruddin Shah will celebrate his 64th birthday on Sunday, July 20, 2014.

Aries (March 20 – April 19)

Few things bore you more than those who’re not only determined to get the facts, they’re obsessed with ensuring every detail is accurate. This annoys you, enough you could find yourself provoking them, mostly unintentionally. It’s pointless. They can’t help themselves, any more than you can stop feeling annoyed by them.

Taurus (April 20 – May 20)

It’s not that you’re secretive. Rather, you prefer to think things through before discussing them with anybody. Yet with so much moving swiftly, those who usually have plenty of time to chat must act fast. Knowing that, air your concerns right away, even if you haven’t analysed them yourself.

Gemini (May 21 – June 20)

Recent clashes were distracting and, in some cases, petty. But now that you’ve had a chance to think about them, you’re beginning to realise how informative they were. In their efforts to have the last word, certain individuals revealed more about their manoeuvres than was their intention, to your profit.

Cancer (June 21 – July 21)

Although the insights that accompanied late June’s Cancer New Moon may have clarified both what must go and your priorities, events since then have been very chequered. Or they’ve seemed so. Looking back, and especially considering how things came together, you’ll recognise that what seemed least promising was actually most worthwhile.

Leo (July 22 – August 22)

Circumstances or, perhaps, the manoeuvres of certain determined individuals have put you in a nearly impossible position. True, equally challenging situations haven’t defeated you in the past and this won’t now. However, because this week’s sudden and fantastic events could revolutionise your priorities, for the moment, you’re better off doing nothing.

Virgo (August 23 – September 22)

Good fortune isn’t always recognisable for what it is. This isn’t just likely over the next few weeks, you’re becoming accustomed to the influence of expansive Jupiter in the most expansive portion of your chart, so many events could seem worrying. Soon, however, you’ll recognise these as opportunities in disguise.

Libra (September 23 – October 22)

With both Mercury and your ruler Venus in the crucial midheaven angle of your chart, decisions can’t wait. But with circumstances shifting, you’re in no position to commit. As it happens, neither is anybody else. Discuss this from the outset and, together, you’ll be able come up with flexible arrangements.

Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)

You’ve long sensed one particular individual was trying to undermine you, but lacked proof. Now, bizarrely, a clash between the individual in question and somebody else reveals the truth, both that you were right and, as important, why. Now that you understand, you’ll also find you’re able to forgive and forget.

Sagittarius (November 22 – December 20)

Last week’s move by your ruler Jupiter into a new sign is, of course, of tremendous importance to you, and nearly as significant to everybody else. Yet because sudden clashes are devouring your attention, you may not notice the impact of its position, which accents new ideas, until later this week.

Capricorn (December 21 – January 19)

Ordinarily, the tides of feelings roused by Capricorn Full Moon, in the 12th, would have begun to settle. But with both Jupiter and Mars moving into new positions during July’s last half, and triggering changes in longstanding arrangements, more doubts are likely. You need do nothing. They’ll soon pass.

Aquarius (January 20 – February 17)

Judging by late July’s powerful planetary activity, changes in the world around you are bound to alter elements of your life. While some of what arises may be welcome, other developments will be less so. Still, go with the flow, since what seems worst could turn out to be best.

Pisces (February 18 – March 19)

Tempting as it is to go to the rescue of those who’re struggling with accusations that seem unfair, steer clear of these dramas. No matter how good your intentions, you’d only complicate things. There are certain facts of which you’re unaware. Once these come out, everything else will make sense.
