IF IT’S YOUR BIRTHDAY TODAY
Appealing as the idea of ‘being true to yourself’ may be, at the moment you’re somewhat confused about what that means. In fact, with so much shifting in your own life, you’ve lots of questions. The resulting process of reflection is indicated by the link between your ruler the Sun and Mars, the planet that’s all about ego and identity, on your birthday. The review you conduct of your priorities will lead to pivotal decisions and exciting changes.
Aries March 20 – April 18
Being a fire sign, and somebody who’ll stand up for what you believe in, conflicts rarely bother you. However, certain increasingly complex issues are brewing, and you can’t help but worry about the dramas they’ll trigger, especially in already tense situations. Ironically, these could lead to timely, and necessary, breakthroughs.
Taurus April 19 – May 19
You may be glossing over differences you fear could become real problems, in the hope it will all pass. But that’s highly unlikely. Rather, judging by next week’s clash between Jupiter and the underhand Pluto, there’s only one way they’ll be resolved, and that’s by addressing them in the most forthright manner possible.
Gemini May 20 – June 20
Many Geminis live a life in which they’re constantly out and about. Still, there are few things you enjoy more than relaxing comfortably settled at home. It’s a setting where you’re not only able to review what you’ve done and who you’ve met, it’s also a place where you can reconnect with yourself.
Cancer June 21 – July 21
Be wary of those who have sob stories to tell you. While, ordinarily, you’ve a sound instinct for when these are true versus more about rousing sympathy, with so much in transition, your instincts aren’t as sound as usual. The trick is to show interest but put off any decisions, at least or the moment.
Leo July 22 – August 21
It’s the rare Leo who’ll do something just because they’re told to. You need an explanation or good reason to tackle the matters that, previously, were of little interest or importance to you. What you learn over the coming days won’t just be informative, those facts could revolutionise your thinking.
Virgo August 22 – September 21
Sometimes you can get even very stubborn individuals to go along with your ideas by making suggestions, listening as they disagree, but saying nothing. Soon they’ll begin to adopt the ideas you mentioned, convinced these are their own. And, soon after that, they’ll be quoting you but, of course, won’t realise it.
Libra September 22 – October 22
While you, as a Libra, have a strong admiration for those who’re able to be tough yet gracious at the same time, you also find them intimidating. Yet judging by the current planetary setup, this is exactly how you’ll need to approach a range of very tricky situations. This won’t be easy but it is definitely do-able.
Scorpio October 23 – November 21
Watching arrangements you worked hard to organise slipping away isn’t easy. Yet your instincts are correctly telling you that these will no longer be as significant as they once were, at least in your life. Unsettling as the thought is, you’ve long sensed that a change of this nature was inevitable.
Sagittarius November 22 – December 20
When you first discussed your ideas about plans and those of others, there was a big gap. Now that you’ve talked things over, that gap has closed but still, certain details remain a source of conflict. Bizarrely, it’s worth delving into these, with an eye to discovering how best to sidestep them.
Capricorn December 21 – January 18
Only days ago, you’d have refused even to think of making certain fundamental changes in your way of living or working. Yet now that you’ve learnt more about what’s behind the situation and those changes being suggested, you’re beginning to recognise how much you’d learn in the process of tackling these.
Aquarius January 19 – February 17
When you first formed your views about several increasingly contentious situations, it was a long time ago. So long that, initially, you won’t understand why things seem so out of kilter. The simple fact is, it’s time that you updated your opinions and, therefore, your way of approaching the matters in question.
Pisces February 18 – March 19
Once again, the best method for outwitting one particularly challenging individual isn’t by confronting them. Instead, point out the problems their plans would lead to. True, this will take longer, at least at the moment. But in the future, you’ll manage to sidestep battles as time consuming as they are tedious.
