IF IT’S YOUR BIRTHDAY TODAY
The time has come to delve into certain issues that have been on your mind for ages but which you’ve ignored, mostly because you had no idea where to begin or how to tackle them. However, with your ruler Venus moving into the most reflective and strategic portion of your chart on your birthday, the message is clear, ‘trust your intuition’. Relying on your instincts may call on a rarely employed side of your nature. Still, what you learn, about the situations in question but, even more, about yourself will be thrilling now and amazingly helpful as the future unfolds.
Aries March 20 – April 18
A lively exchange of ideas is one thing. But judging by the current rather volatile planetary setup, what you expected would become interesting conversations could turn into a real battle. The subject isn’t the problem but, rather, the egos of the individuals involved. Yes, this includes you as well as others.
Taurus April 19 – May 19
As a practical earth sign, while you’re happy to learn about and discuss new ideas, if there’s too much talk, you get frustrated. However, with the ideas planet Mercury remaining retrograde until next Wednesday, you’re better off taking things slowly. What you discover over the next couple of days could change everything.
Gemini May 20 – June 20
It’s not that you’re anxious about putting yourself first. However, because you’ll often view things from so many angles, your priorities change frequently and, on occasion, dramatically. Now that the planet of focus and action, Mars, is in Gemini, the time has come to decide what will be the coming months’ priority.
Cancer June 21 – July 21
Just when you thought there was little chance of long cherished ideas, plans or ventures coming good, the tide is turning in your favour. True, if you’re to take things to the next stage, it would mean making a few changes. Worrying as these may seem initially, they’re wise and well timed.
Leo July 22 – August 21
Some firmly believe that, when Mercury’s retrograde, as it now is, everything goes wrong. If so, you’ll want to avoid making decisions or responding to the current appealing offers until midweek, when it resumes forward motion. Or you could act now, and take advantage of offers as stunning as they are fleeting.
Virgo August 22 – September 21
Although you try not to let them irritate you, certain individuals inevitably come across as ‘know-it-alls’, that is, they simply assume they’re better informed than you are. With so much in transition, however, that may well be the case. Annoying as they are, at least listen to what they have to say.
Libra September 22 – October 22
Since early March, your ruler Venus has been retrograde, moved through two signs, and on the 15th, resumed forward motion. While that period was as informative as it was unsettling, the move by Venus to accent close alliances begins a powerful period of discussion and, in some cases, healing.
Scorpio October 23 – November 21
It’s easy to blame all sorts of problems on Mercury’s retrograde cycle, which ends on Wednesday. But it’s no more than the planet of communication and the issues you’re dealing with involve trust ratherthan hard facts. That being the case, it’s the ideal time to talk these over.
Sagittarius November 22 – December 20
There are times when questions are sincere and need to be answered. Now, however, you’ll want to recognise you’re in a period that involves frequent changes in the actual circumstances you and others are dealing with. This means what seems solid information one day will be different the next, and soon be unreliable.
Capricorn December 21 – January 18
As a Capricorn, you’re a portrait in contrasts. While you’re hugely productive, you can be lazy and while you’ve an amazing sense of humour, you can be stern. The current issue is revealing what’s on your mind. While you can be very private, at the moment you’ll need to be more open, if not frank.
Aquarius January 19 – February 17
It’s rare you’ll insist on having the last word in a discussion, exchange of ideas or even argument. Yet in one particular situation your feelings are so strong that you consider it essential others know exactly where you stand. You’re right to do this. It will eliminate confusion, once and for all.
Pisces February 18 – March 19
As with all periods of change, you adapt well, while others take time and a few resist making even the most minor alterations until the last minute. At the moment, however, things will be moving so swiftly that those who’re reluctant to rethink things will be given little choice.
