IF IT’S YOUR BIRTHDAY TODAY

As a quick thinking fire sign, you’ll often brush off minor issues or unimportant clashes, mostly because you regard going over such matters as both dull and a waste of time. Yet now, if you’re to take certain plans forward to the next stage, this analysis is not only necessary, what you learn will contribute handsomely to the plans you’re making and to your future objectives. Once you’re involved in these, you’ll realise how exciting they are.

Aries March 20 – April 18

Tedious as the practical, business or financial matters you’re facing seem, make dealing with them your priority. Once your ruler Mars moves into restless Sagittarius, on Tuesday, you’ll have good reason to be out and about. You’ll not only be relieved they’ve been handled, what you learn will be extremely useful.

Taurus April 19 – May 19

There’s making a plan. And then there’s making lasting plans, which obviously is preferable, as it means you know what to expect next week, next month and, in some cases, next year. Yet judging by the current unsettling planetary activity, you could have trouble anticipating what the next few days will bring.

Gemini May 20 – June 19

Having spent so much of the past several weeks dealing with practical matters and obligations, especially to others, you’re feeling overwhelmed. You need a break and, judging by the next few days’ planetary activity, you’re about to get it. And in a manner that’s as exciting as it is unexpected.

Cancer June 20 – July 21

When you’re feeling upbeat, you’ll happily discuss even rather far out ideas. But when your mood’s uncertain or you’re unsettled, you’d rather hear about something that’s reassuring. However, with so much in transition, it’s worth considering both. At minimum, you’ll learn something. It might even boost your spirits.

Leo July 22 – August 21

As a Leo you have high standards, both for yourself, personally, and in situations involving others. But, as you’ve learnt to your cost, not everybody cares as much as you do about getting things right. While you can’t change the character of others, you can encourage them to try a little harder.

Virgo August 22 – September 21

In mid July your ruler Mercury entered the most strategic and reflective portion of your chart, triggering a period as complex as it’s been informative, especially about certain tricky matters you often sidestep. Still, you’ll be relieved to learn that its move, into Virgo, begins a new cycle.

Libra September 22 – October 21

When you began disentangling yourself from certain longstanding but unrewarding friendships or alliances a while ago, you had mixed feelings. As a Libra, you’re about sustaining, not ending, relationships. Still, pause and savour the sheer pleasure in knowing you no longer need to pretend you’re enjoying their company.

Scorpio October 22 – November 20

Every once in a while certain arrangements, even those that are a longstanding element of your life, need to be rethought. And possibly changed. Because the New Moon, early next week, accents exactly such matters and brings a timely fresh perspective, there’s no better moment to begin considering your options.

Sagittarius November 21 – December 20

Patience isn’t your strength. However, certain situations have forced you to withdraw, and leave things to develop in their own time. Similarly, you’ve had to refrain from encouraging others, because they felt you were being pushy. While it’s been surprisingly informative, you’ll be relieved to learn this cycle is over.

Capricorn December 21 – January 19

Planning ahead may be wise. But between this week’s powerful link between Mercury and Uranus, the planet of innovation and the unexpected, and next week’s, which involves Venus, even the simplest of arrangements is unlikely to remain as first envisioned. Despite that, even sudden developments are bound to be a delight.

Aquarius January 20 – February 18

Certain practical or financial matters, that are as dull as they are crucial, are increasingly pressing. While, usually, you’d usually deal with these swiftly, it’s colossolly unwise. You’ll soon regret it. Invest time in tackling these properly now and you’ll both learn something and need never bother with them again.

Pisces February 19 – March 19

It’s time you were tough with one particular individual. You’ve said this in the past and have, in fact, actually tackled the issue in question. The problem is, you lost interest, so any changes weren’t lasting. Now, however, things have reached the point at which it’s clear you really must make a sustained effort.
