IF IT’S YOUR BIRTHDAY TODAY
There’s a tricky question highlighted in your birthday chart. It’s the issue of who you can trust, which has been a source of concern lately. However, there’s also the matter of disentangling yourself from arrangements that once seemed worthwhile, but which have since been disappointing. While you’ve hoped others would forget about these, they’re still eager to proceed. This means you’ll have to find a way to raise, and discuss, these issues, and with the clarity necessary to make clear cut and lasting decisions.
Aries March 20 – April 18
Often the obstacles to you proceeding with your plans that others point out are nothing more than their fears. But now genuine practical issues need attention, and soon. Don’t just talk these over, ask others for their views, ideas and any worthwhile contacts. Their input will prove helpful, if not crucial.
Taurus April 19 – May 19
Although you agree that certain longstanding joint arrangements would benefit from a far-reaching rethink, you’re in no rush. However, that could change. The encounter between your ruler Venus and inventive Uranus, in a few days’ time, is likely to revolutionise your attitude. So much you’ll be eager to get things moving.
Gemini May 20 – June 19
Those who say they’re eager to take plans to the next stage, then avoid committing, are exasperating. The fact is, others are confused and probably will be until Tuesday, when the courageous Mars moves into the portion of your chart that accents such matters. After that, things will come together wonderfully.
Cancer June 20 – July 21
Often contentious issues, such as those you’re currently facing, are best dealt with by doing a lot of listening. So frequently situations of this nature turn into battles involving who can speak fastest, or be most persuasive. Instead, truly listen to what’s being said. Then retreat and reflect before you respond.
Leo July 22 – August 21
One of your greatest strengths, as a Leo, is that when you commit to a plan or, indeed, a person, it’s wholehearted. So much so, that backing out seems impossible. But judging by the current range of swift and often surprising changes reshaping your life, it’s likely you’ll have to do exactly that.
Virgo August 22 – September 21
Sometimes minor disputes are no more than that. Judging by the current clash between your ruler Mercury and the volatile Mars, however, seemingly unimportant differences could be amazingly informative. But you must resist the temptation to have the last word and instead seek the source of the issue in question.
Libra September 22 – October 21
Ignoring the complaints of others may seem antisocial, if not just plain rude. But the fact is, the individuals in question, and it’s likely there’s more than one, are in the mood to complain. That being the case, they wouldn’t actually welcome suggestions of possible solutions. Sympathise and listen, no more.
Scorpio October 22 – November 20
The time has come to cut your ties with certain once-rewarding arrangements. You’ve kept things going, partly out of loyalty but, as much, out of habit. Deep down, however, you realise this is putting off the inevitable. And even more important, you’re beginning to long for the freedom this will give you.
Sagittarius November 21 – December 20
By now you’ve probably realised that, despite your excitement about plans you’re organising, certain individuals will require both details and hard facts. While ordinarily you’d gather these when the need arose, others want them immediately. Don’t argue. It’s easier and faster to get the information they want now, and all at once.
Capricorn December 21 – January 19
The problem isn’t admitting you were wrong. You’ve done that before and survived. The issue is one particular individual won’t just call attention to your error, they’ll ensure everybody hears about it. Take the wind out of their sails. Make a point of letting everybody know what you’ve done, and immediately.
Aquarius January 20 – February 18
You have a stubborn streak. It’s powerful, but one you usually manage to conceal with charm or by distracting others from the issue in question. Now, however, circumstances or, perhaps, certain individuals are confronting you about this. Give in. As much as you hate the idea, you’ll be glad you did.
Pisces February 19 – March 19
Being generous by nature, you love making others happy. Sometimes it’s by doing a favour or finding a special gift. But as often it involves something behind the scenes. Bizarrely, these are best because while you’re able to be kind, you needn’t face the awkwardness of others thanking you.
