IF IT’S YOUR BIRTHDAY TODAY
The theme for your birthday is to say what’s on your mind. This may be more challenging than you’d think, mostly because you often ‘rewrite’ your thoughts in way that will make them it easier for others to deal with then. But, often that means you’ve underplayed what’s actually crucial, at least to you. It’s vital you revisit past discussions and, equally, be attentive to what you’re about to say and, especially, ensure you detail your specific concerns.
Aries March 20 – April 18
Sooner or later you’ll have to confront one particular individual about their tendency to cause problems just when plans are nearly settled. Do it now, however, and it will only make things worse. Be patient. The issue is personal, and their bad behaviour is a way of letting off steam.
Taurus April 19 – May 19
There is no wrong way to stand up for yourself. Yet criticising how you approach issues of this nature is one of the most underhand tactics of those determined not to give up ground in such situations. They also deflect genuine questions. Be clear, be firm and be persistent.
Gemini May 20 – June 19
While you understand others’ need to avoid potentially embarrassing facts, or matters that would lead to awkward discussions, you’ve always regarded their concerns as somewhat excessive. Or you did until it seemed certain issues you regard as private could suddenly come to light. This is substantially altering your perspective.
Cancer June 20 – July 21
It’s not just that Mercury was retrograde for much of September, although that will have led to errors. In reality, certain individuals are determined to keep the facts they don’t want generally known under wraps, and they’re pretending that as the result of errors, the information has gone missing.
Leo July 22 – August 21
If ever there was a time to stand your ground, it’s now. While, understandably, you’d rather avoid a long and drawn out battle, it’s vital you make it clear what you’re willing to accept and, even more, what you’re not. This prevents others saying they had no idea.
Virgo August 22 – September 21
During the very tricky past few weeks, you’ve assessed your actions, looking for mistakes you’ve made. Only after that did you think about whether you were actually responsible for the situations in question. At long last, you’re realising that you weren’t and, hopefully, letting yourself off the hook.
Libra September 22 – October 21
Life would be easier is you could make a single plan and stick with it. However, as you’ll have noticed, you’re in a period of growth. This means rethinking past arrangements and exploring new ideas and offers. And, as a result, reorganising those previous plans often. It’s disruptive but worth it.
Scorpio October 22 – November 20
Trusting those who’ve been dishonest or ignored vital commitments isn’t easy. Yet circumstances are forcing you to deal with one or two such individuals. Rather than worry about this, raise your concerns. Discuss them openly. What you hear could revolutionise your thinking about the matters and those individuals in question.
Sagittarius November 21 – December 20
Twists and turns are a part of life. You’re not only fully aware of that, you rather enjoy unexpected developments. Yet what you’re currently facing is both more complex and somewhat more intimidating than what usually comes your way. You’ll learn how to deal with these but must take it slowly.
Capricorn December 21 – January 19
Planning ahead may be a virtue but for you, as a Capricorn, it’s also reassuring. Yet judging by the coming weeks’ unsettling planetary activity, even the simplest of arrangements is likely to change, and change again. Regard these as an experiment and, instead of struggling, you’ll learn from them.
Aquarius January 20 – February 18
Because you think both ideas and plans through before discussing them with others, you’re generally able to anticipate what’s next. But now things aren’t going at all according to plan. This is to be expected, since the actual foundation on which those plans are based is itself changing.
Pisces February 19 – March 19
By no means are you stubborn. On the contrary, while others will battle on, despite being wrong, you’d prefer to clear up any confusion. Except in certain matters or regarding those individuals about which your feelings are passionate. This is what you’re facing. And the sooner you acknowledge you’re mistaken, the better.
