IF IT’S YOUR BIRTHDAY TODAY

Every sign is influenced by the New Moon and changes it triggers, but the fact it’s on your birthday indicates you’ve reached a turning point. While some of what arises may seem more of a nuisance or even worrying than a fresh start, the more prepared you are to explore what arises, especially what seems odd or unappealing, the better advantage you’ll take of what is, in truth, the beginning of an exciting, and rewarding, new cycle.

Aries March 20 – April 19

Recent misunderstandings aren’t that big a deal. Or so you think. You’re not concerned because you know all the facts. But others don’t and, worse, what they do know has cast you in a rather negative light, enough they’re feeling suspicious. Consequently, the sooner you talk things through with them, the better.

Taurus April 20 – May 20

Making everyday plans is one thing. But knowing how to handle the dramatic and, often, sudden developments indicated by eclipses, later this month and in mid-February, is something else entirely. Actually, you may already be experiencing hints of these. Explore them. You’ll be amazed by the exciting, if somewhat unsettling, ideas they offer.

Gemini May 21 – June 20

Initially, differences between you and one particular individual seemed minor. Since then these have turned into a bit of a power struggle. Tempting as it is to reason with them, it simply isn’t possible. Be patient. You will resolve these issues, but it probably won’t be until the end of the month.

Cancer June 21 – July 21

It’s difficult to ignore the intense, unsettling influence of the Full Moon. However, the current New Moon, which is far more about stillness and reflection, might be easy to miss. Yet you can take advantage of this period of endings and beginnings to consider what, and who, should remain central to your life.

Leo July 22 – August 22

You regard most setbacks as challenges, and respond to them in exactly that manner. They get you thinking and, better yet, rouse the creative side of your nature. Yet you regard others as a nuisance. As a result, you keep putting them off, which means they’re only getting worse by the day.

Virgo August 23 – September 22

As a Virgo and an earth sign, you’re decisive. However, you’ve learnt from experience to be cautious about plunging into unfamiliar situations. Yet now events are giving you little choice. Instead of trying to figure things out on your own, seek the guidance of others who’re involved. Together you’ll work things out.

Libra September 23 – October 22

If ever there was a time to be patient, it’s now. True, you’re under pressure from others and could be putting pressure on yourself to tackle certain complex issues. However, with the current New Moon bringing a timely fresh perspective, you could soon find solutions for those seemingly impossible issues.

Scorpio October 23 – November 21

Having reviewed situations and others’ extremely wide range of ideas, you’re at a loss what to say. The best option, at least for now, is nothing. Within days, both circumstances and the views of others change, enough that what everybody agrees is your best option is likely to change as well.

Sagittarius November 22 – December 20

Tempting as it is to proceed with your plans, despite the warnings of others, you’re urged to at least listen to their advice. True, in the past you’ve ignored similar concerns and things were fine. But once you’ve learnt about certain unspoken problems, you’ll realise why caution isn’t just wise, it’s essential.

Capricorn December 21 – January 19

The last thing you’re in the mood to do is be patient. However, your instincts are correctly telling you that you’re short of facts. Take action just to be doing something, and you’ll soon regret it. Besides, a range of tedious but crucial matters are in increasing need of your attention.

Aquarius January 20 – February 17

Unsettling if not inconvenient as sudden changes in certain longstanding arrangements may be, they’re nothing more than a recognition that things can’t remain as they are. Tempting as it is to try to shore these up, your instincts are already telling you that the changes in question aren’t just wise, they’re inevitable.

Pisces February 18 – March 19

The last thing you want to do is upset anybody. But certain potentially pressing issues have been neglected and could soon turn into a real drama. There’s no question, but that, the actual problem will take time to deal with. Once progress is being made, everybody, including you, can relax.
