IF IT’S YOUR BIRTHDAY TOMORROW

No sign is better at sensing when it’s best to take a tentative approach versus those occasions when you must be forthright, if not demanding. Yet the rather complex situations you’re facing will also require what can only be described as an intuitive approach. The trick, therefore, is to gather the facts, retreat and sense where things stand, then base your plan on a combination of these two approaches. It will work astonishingly well.

Aries March 20 – April 18

A week ago your ruler Mars moved into a new position. It’s now in the midheaven angle of your chart, which accents the structure of your life and, especially, your activities out in the world. The time has come to rethink, if not change, arrangements that are holding you back.

Taurus April 19 – May 19

Usually you’re adept at diplomatically sidestepping unwanted advice. These issues are already on your mind and you’ll get around to them when you’re ready to, and not before. Tempting as it is to say exactly that to others, you’d soon regret it. Thank the individual in question, then busy yourself elsewhere.

Gemini May 20 – June 19

Although you’ve achieved a great deal over the past several months, your focus has been mostly on dull practicalities. So much, you’ve had no choice but to neglect those individuals you care about and, even more, life’s pleasures. Happily, you’ll soon be in a position to make up for lost time.

Cancer June 20 – July 21

Most of those born under the sign of Cancer have frequent inner debates about whether to mention the insensitive remarks of others. Some may involve you, personally, others may just be unkind. In every case, this isn’t about changing the individual is question, because nothing and nobody can do that.

Leo July 22 – August 21

By no means are you secretive about your feelings, both pro certain individuals and anti certain arrangements. Yet, bizarrely, you tend not to discuss those deeper feelings that matter most. While those closest know about them, but only from watching you, it might be time to talk these over, and openly.

Virgo August 22 – September 21

As a Virgo and an earth sign, you’re careful about the practical and financial side of life, and check out changes before you commit to them. However, with things moving so swiftly, you’ve little time and you’re short of facts. This means trusting your instincts, which are far better than you realise.

Libra September 22 – October 21

Sometimes an obstacle is exactly that, a problem to be overcome. Those you’re encountering at the moment, however, are actually encouraging you to discuss these with others. By doing this together, you’re more likely to get to the core of the issue and find a solution, one that works for everybody.

Scorpio October 22 – November 20

There’s no question that certain longstanding but now outdated arrangements are coming to a natural conclusion. While you’ll be sad to see them go, you’ve accepted this. The problem is: what’s next? Be patient. Those plans are emerging and will come together at the Scorpio New Moon, in late October.

Sagittarius November 21 – December 20

Dealing with those who are negative about everything isn’t easy. Long ago you learnt to avoid making plans with individuals who dwell more on possible problems than on the potential for those endeavours. Yet now circumstances are forcing you to focus on such matters. It’s challenging but it’s also essential.

Capricorn December 21 – January 19

Tact has its place, in life and in relationships. It enables you to navigate around tricky situations and deal with difficult individuals without time consuming dramas. Now, however, you not only have no choice but to be blunt, being forthright will enable you to resolve contentious issues in a flash.

Aquarius January 20 – February 18

The phrase ‘final decision’ is appealing, yet for an inquisitive Aquarius, it can sometimes seem worryingly restrictive. But now you’re contending with the reverse, that is, being unable to make plans or decisions that last for more than a couple of days. That’s because for you, currently, life’s about exploration.

Pisces February 19 – March 19

Being disappointed by others is, sadly, a frequent experience for most Pisces. This isn’t because you have back luck. Bizarrely, it has to do with your own high standards for yourself. You sometimes forget not everybody expects as much. This, in turn, leads to those disillusioning situations involving others.
