IF IT’S YOUR BIRTHDAY TODAY
The theme in your birthday chart is ‘exploration’. There’s a fine line between being interested in others and delving into matters you’re acquainted with and venturing into new, and unfamiliar, territory. This is about exercising your mind, that is, stretching it, just as if you were doing a physical workout. The benefits will be the same, a sense of enthusiasm and energy, except in this case, it’s new feelings of energy and enthusiasm for life itself.
Aries March 20 – April 18
The move by both the Sun and the communication planet Mercury to accent joint ventures of every variety means it’s time to compare notes with those intended about existing arrangements and future plans. Don’t make the mistake of assuming others are up to date. They’re not, as you’ll soon discover.
Taurus April 19 – May 19
Just when you thought things were organised, certain important, and longstanding, arrangements are coming undone. While, obviously, this is distressing, deep down you’re feeling a sense of relief. You should. While these might have been familiar, they’re also holding you back from achieving certain cherished goals, and big time.
Gemini May 20 – June 19
You thrive on ideas, the newer the better. Your usual response is to talk them over with those who’d be involved, that is family, friends or colleagues, as a way of measuring their feelings. However, they could misunderstand you as saying it’s a plan you’ve already made. Clearly state it’s all conjecture.
Cancer June 20 – July 21
Only now that you’re looking back on the past couple of weeks from this vantage point is it clear how demanding they’ve been. While you’ve discussed and dealt with a great deal, it’s required constant effort. Now that both the Sun and Mercury are accenting life’s pleasures, it’s time to enjoy them.
Leo July 22 – August 21
While you’ve no fear of doing battle when you believe in what or who you’re fighting for, individuals who expect your support for no reason are quite another matter. If those involved ask why you’ve done so little, be blunt. Explain clearly that, the fact is, you don’t really care.
Virgo August 22 – September 21
When others are struggling, you’re there for them, both offering support and encouraging them to be optimistic. But now that you’re in a similar position, you’re shy about asking for help, if not embarrassed by your position. The solution is, of course, to take some of your own advice and think positively.
Libra September 22 – October 21
The time has come to rethink certain longstanding practical, financial or business arrangements. When these were first organised, you devoted considerable time and effort into getting things right. Having done that, you assumed there’d be no need for a review. On the contrary, a top to bottom review is now urgent.
Scorpio October 22 – November 20
For you, as a Scorpio, trust is deeply valued. And, as result, when somebody crosses you or does anything that would raise questions about that trust, it can be extremely hurtful. Tempting as it is to withdraw, ask exactly what others were thinking. Their response could surprise, and touch, you.
Sagittarius November 21 – December 20
For some weeks you’ve been avoiding discussing one particularly tricky matter, mostly because it’s been a huge source of frustration. You’re both upset and dismayed by your inability to resolve this. That may be because it’s not yours to deal with. Some clever, but naughty, individual shifted it your way.
Capricorn December 21 – January 19
Tempting as it is to say a firm ‘no’ to certain increasingly irritating ideas or requests, your instincts are correctly telling you these hold more promise than you’d think. The problem is the manner of the individual involved. If you can get past that, then everything else will fall into place easily.
Aquarius January 20 – February 18
There are all sorts of reasons for saying ‘no’ to changes. However, because you’re just beginning a cycle of ongoing, and exciting, new activities and adventures, your response to ideas or offers should be an enthusiastic ‘yes’. If in doubt, explore. The more you learn, the more delighted you’ll be.
Pisces February 19 – March 19
Offers that seem too good to be true often are that. Tempting as it is to convince yourself what’s come your way is an exception, the stars suggest otherwise. Just to ensure you’re not bypassing a golden opportunity, look into what you’re being offered in depth. You’ll be glad you did.
