IF IT’S YOUR BIRTHDAY TODAY

The time has come to draw a line, and in several situations. Usually you’ve a knack for spotting those situations and, even more, those relationships where you can safely trust what’s promised. While, at one point, that was the case, clearly times have changed and so, too, must your approach to these matters. In some situations you need only remind others what’s expected of them. But in a few, you may need to consider saying farewell.

Aries March 20 – April 18

Only recently you’d have brushed off even discussing certain complex matters. Having invested considerable time in working things out, you’re in no mood to tackle these again. However, judging by the powerful and positive link between Mercury, in Aries, and the practical Saturn, you’ll be amazed how much you can accomplish.

Taurus April 19 – May 19

Planning ahead is both wise and, because you know what to expect, can help alleviate stress. Yet with so much in transition, even the simplest of plans will change, and change again. Don’t let that stop you making them, but it would be wise to ensure that they’re flexible.

Gemini May 20 – June 20

With the Sun and the New Moon, in a few days’ time, both in the most reflective portion of your chart, you’re defining and mulling over issues you rarely even think about. While, inevitably, this will rouse vulnerable feelings, you’ll be reminded why certain individuals matter so much to you.

Cancer June 21 – July 21

There’s no getting around it. You’re making decisions jointly with somebody who is argumentative by nature and who, if you’ve differing ideas, will want backup facts. Knowing that, gather whatever information you’ll require, then state your case. Do things that way, presenting your facts first, and there’ll be no dramas.

Leo July 22 – August 21

Only days ago, complex plans seemed settled and you assumed they’d proceed as agreed mutually. However, with the communication planet Mercury retrograde until 3 May, minor errors are likely to cause confusion which will, in turn, slow the process. Be alert and you’ll deal with these before they become major problems.

Virgo August 22 – September 21

As much as you’d like to blame somebody for the complex problems you’ve been wrestling with over the past few days, and which are set to continue well into the coming week, it’s not that simple. While past errors are the cause, sudden changes in circumstances alone are behind these difficulties.

Libra September 22 – October 22

After a series of twists and turns in arrangements that, had you seen them in a movie would have seemed unrealistic, things are finally coming together. True, things are very different from anything you’ve had imagined possible. But, as it happens, many of those changes constitute a very real improvement.

Scorpio October 23 – November 21

This is one of those periods that seems strange until you understand it. The focus isn’t what you’re doing but, rather, letting go. Several longstanding arrangements were once rewarding or in some way profitable. While things have changed, their role in your life hasn’t and now, unfortunately, they’re causing delays.

Sagittarius November 22 – December 20

Certain individuals seem determined not only to organise plans, but to ensure that they’re what they regard as ‘final’. However, with Mercury retrograde until early May, even the simplest of arrangements are likely to change, and change again. Explain that, and everybody will be ready for those surprises, whatever form they take.

Capricorn December 21 – January 18

Usually you’re adept at dealing with even very tricky situations. But one particular matter is so complex you’ve no idea where to begin. Despite that, once you actually begin talking things through, you’ll realise they’re not as complicated as you feared. Better yet, everybody will be grateful you raised these issues.

Aquarius January 19 – February 17

When you first sidestepped certain matters, it was mostly because you had no idea how to raise or talk about them. Now destiny is taking this in hand, in the sense that events have reached a point at which they need to be discussed, and frankly. This will be a relief for everybody.

Pisces February 18 – March 19

For ages you’ve been weighing up various options regarding potential changes on the domestic front and their impact on arrangements of a more worldly nature. But you’ve never found the balance you’ve been seeking. Now that forthright Mars has moved to accent these, you’ll finally achieve that much-needed clarity.
