IF IT’S YOUR BIRTHDAY TODAY
Those who are too practical, who’re careful about their diet, their diary and their commitments, tend to bore you. Being a Leo, you thrive on passion, not careful planning. Yet with the ideas planet Mercury moving into the sensible Virgo on your birthday, yet joining the expansive Jupiter there, what you learn, experience and even who you meet, will broaden your horizons and, quite possibly, change your life. While the practical side of these will be inescapable, what you get will more than justify the effort required.
Aries March 20 – April 18
The time has come to get down to dealing with those practical matters you’ve been doing all you can to avoid. While this is understandable, now that the communication planet Mercury has moved into down to earth Virgo, even you will find it much easier to focus on these tedious details.
Taurus April 19 – May 19
As a Taurus, your commitment to family, loved ones, friends or even colleagues is powerful. And, equally, you try to be there for others, no matter what. Still, this is a period of change, in both circumstances and, possibly, in your feelings. This, in turn, could mean rethinking things, possibly overnight.
Gemini May 20 – June 19
While, logically, the plans you’ve discussed with others and decisions you’ve made should proceed without a hitch. However, that doesn’t take into account the influence of this Tuesday’s New Moon and its accompanying fresh perspective. The resulting shift in your thinking could convince you a rethink isn’t just wise, it’s essential.
Cancer June 20 – July 21
Challenging as dealing with those whose moods tend to be unpredictable can be, you find the sheer range and depth of their emotions stimulating. Still, if you’re feeling vulnerable, as could now be the case, it’s essential you remember that you’re not responsible for keeping others, including the individuals in question, happy.
Leo July 22 – August 21
Tempting as it is to go to battle with certain stubborn individuals about their lackadaisical attitude towards getting things done, they simply don’t care. And, no matter what you say, they won’t change. You’re better off dealing with crucial tasks yourself, and leaving those of less importance to them.
Virgo August 22 – September 21
As a Virgo, you respect both analysis and hard work, and know when they’re combined, wonderful things happen. However, this can mean that when things simply fall into place, as they are now, you worry something will go wrong. You needn’t. Things are as good as they seem, if not better.
Libra September 22 – October 21
It’s not that you’ve been dishonest as much as you’ve sidestepped issues you knew could be upsetting or lead to problems. Now that circumstances are forcing these matters out in the open, you have no choice but to discuss them. Do so, and since you’re doing it, say everything that needs saying.
Scorpio October 22 – November 20
You rarely allow any person or situation to upset you so much you’re unaware what you say. Yet recently, and in several situations, you’ve done exactly that. True, it was out of character. However, the resulting discussions were so rewarding you’re wondering if you shouldn’t be that forthright more often.
Sagittarius November 21 – December 20
Recently you’ve been asking lots of questions and doing masses of thinking about certain longstanding arrangements. Finally, it’s time to discuss this with those concerned. Fascinating as you’ve found this process of exploration, others aren’t nearly as interested. Express your ideas in brief and you’re more likely to get a positive reaction.
Capricorn December 21 – January 19
Appealing as the idea of offers that come from out of the blue may be, as a careful and conscientious Capricorn, you’d still want to investigate their origin and potential. However, things are moving so swiftly that there’s no time. This means either bypassing these or plunging in with little information.
Aquarius January 20 – February 18
Making decisions on your own is one thing. However, between now and mid-August’s Aquarius Full Moon, which accents certain joint decisions, you’ve time to talk things through. In some cases it’s about finding a compromise everybody can live with. But in a few, it’s about acknowledging certain matters aren’t worth a battle.
Pisces February 19 – March 19
When you agreed to certain intriguing ideas, they were no more than that. Yet now they’ve grown into arrangements that would mean altering elements of your way of living or working, which you’re not happy about. Yet you don’t want to disappoint others. Discuss this frankly. They’ll understand better than you anticipate.
