IF IT’S YOUR BIRTHDAY TODAY

The planetary message for your birthday is ‘small gifts’. Mostly these will take the form of seemingly unimportant ideas, offers or invitations, possibly involving something of little interest to you. But, actually, that’s the point. This variety of gift is about broadening your horizons in terms of the people you know, ideas you’re exploring and, equally, your existing priorities. As a result, their power won’t be clear, at least initially. Soon, however, you’ll be as surprised as you are thrilled.

Aries (March 20 – April 18)

It’s time to review your plans and priorities. While you’re by no means stubborn about rethinking your strategy, or even giving up, you’ve been fighting for one particular plan, objective or alliance for so long you can’t imagine stopping now. Yet things have changed, so much that it may be your best option.

Taurus (April 19 – May 19)

Unexpected and, therefore, unsettling as recent developments may be, the changes they’d trigger are as timely, as ultimately, they’ll prove to be delightful. Risky as saying yes now, then finding out what the details involved would be, this once, you can trust instincts that say they’re as good as they seem.

Gemini (May 20 – June 19)

Both the Sun and your ruler Mercury have been in one of the most practical angles of your chart for two weeks. While you’d dealt with and done a lot, several complex tasks still need your attention. Tackle these now, before next weekend’s complex planetary activity shifts the focus, probably overnight.

Cancer (June 20 – July 21)

The sudden developments triggered by the recent link between Venus and Uranus may have been disruptive. However, you’ll soon be thankful they took place, as they’ll enable you to get others to at least consider altering, if not actually changing, arrangements that have become as restrictive as they are predictable.

Leo (July 22 – August 21)

When you look back on the period since late September, when forthright Mars moved to accent the practical side of your life, you’ll realise how much you’ve accomplished. However, a few tasks remain to be tackled. Do so now, aiming to get them dealt with before Wednesday, when Mars moves on.

Virgo (August 22 – September 21)

Few things annoy you more than making a plan, only to discover the facts you’ve been told are either incorrect or, possibly, a lie. While, eventually, you’ll find out exactly what went wrong, for now your priority is to rethink those arrangements and, ideally, to ensure they are more flexible.

Libra (September 22 – October 21)

By no means are you rigid in your thinking. Yet, you rarely welcome sudden changes in plan, such as those triggered by the recent link between your ruler Venus and inventive Uranus. At least explore these. Once you know more about them, the odds are good you’ll be far more enthusiastic.

Scorpio (October 22 – November 20)

As you’ve undoubtedly already noticed, you’re in a period during which the greatest progress is made with patience. While you, as a Scorpio, understand this approach, others are in a hurry and are, in turn, rushing you. Thank them for their advice, but don’t argue. Simply do what you think best.

Sagittarius (November 21 – December 20)

By no means are you stubborn or rigid in your thinking. Despite that, you’re hanging on to certain arrangements and future plans ferociously, when it’s clear these must either be substantially changed or go. This is because you’ve invested not only a lot of thought but, also, soul, in these.

Capricorn (December 21 – January 19)

Usually, you analyse and act on issues swiftly. However, in early 2015 your ruler Saturn moved into the most strategic portion of your chart, and since then you’ve had to adopt a more tentative approach to even seemingly simple matters. While frustrating, you’ve learnt a lot about yourself and others.

Aquarius (January 20 – February 18)

There’s no debating the benefits of the events triggered by the recent powerful link between Venus, which signifies both love and money, and your ruler Uranus. Still, however welcome these are, familiar elements of your life must change substantially or go. Disruptive as this may be, it will be worth it.

Pisces (February 19 – March 19)

Long ago you learnt to ignore those who dismiss your powerful Piscean instincts. This is especially important now, because often what you sense is best won’t fit with what those who regard themselves as rational individuals consider to be possible. Don’t argue. Simply inform them what your intentions are, nothing more.
