IF IT’S YOUR BIRTHDAY TODAY

Unsettling as sudden changes in close relationships can be, those you’re experiencing now are about creating space for growth, and for finding a new foundation for those that have become unstable. While you don’t think of yourself as fixed, you can be a creature of habit and, thus, ignore subtle suggestions that changes would be timely. Now that events are prompting you, it would be wise to take the hint and begin exploring what’s needed, via personal reflection and discussion with others.

Aries March 20 – April 18

There’s a secret to getting the range of tedious tasks you’re facing done. And it’s one that simply wouldn’t occur to you. Ask others to share these with you. Generally, tackling things yourself is easier. Now, however, certain other individuals are better equipped than you are to deal with them.

Taurus April 19 – May 19

Although the past month or so, with its seemingly unrelenting emphasis on practical matters, wasn’t fun, you achieved a great deal. So much that once Mercury and your ruler Venus move to accent love and life’s pleasures, both within a few days’ time, you’ll be free to relax and enjoy them.

Gemini May 20 – June 19

Tempting as it is to simply refuse to discuss rethinking certain longstanding arrangements, you know you’d regret it. First, you hate it when others are stubborn about such matters. But, even more, you’re fairly sure important facts have been ignored. Only once these are included can decisions be regarded as final.

Cancer June 20 – July 21

Obviously you’d rather get organised plans now. While that’s both reassuring and means you can concentrate on getting things done, it’s worth keeping in mind the New Moon, in a few days’ time, is about a fresh perspective. As a result, you’re likely to question, if not completely alter, what you plan now.

Leo July 22 – August 21

If ever there was a time to make it clear where you stand, and what you expect from certain individuals, it’s now. The current link between your ruler the Sun and the planet of focus and achievement, Saturn, helps focus your words and ideas, which means you’ll get then across to others better.

Virgo August 22 – September 21

There’s no arguing the benefit of having your ruler Mercury in your sign. It’s just moved into Virgo and will be joined by Venus, the planet of charm, beauty and wealth, on Friday. This mix both boosts your confidence and heightens your ability to turn even dull situations into something wonderful.

Libra September 22 – October 21

The edit of your life, your schedule and even your emotions you’ve been conducting over the past couple of weeks has been demanding and, in some situations, really difficult. However, by Tuesday’s New Moon, which accents such matters and is about fresh start, you’ll have a huge sense of accomplishment.

Scorpio October 22 – November 20

It’s said that being forgiving is a virtue. While you agree, there are also several situations in which you just can’t imagine that. Forgiveness seems impossible. Review those feelings. Ironically, because they’re overshadowing certain relationships, certain situations and even your future plans, you’re the one who’s losing most.

Sagittarius November 21 – December 20

By no means are you narrow minded. On the contrary, you rightly pride yourself on being inquisitive and willing to explore anything. Yet you’re on the verge of rejecting an idea or offer, based on a past experience. Think again. Times have changed, the circumstance in question has, and so have you.

Capricorn December 21 – January 19

Tuesday’s New Moon is about breakthroughs, and is also in the rather theatrical sign of Leo. True, this could mean rethinking existing plans. Still, what’s come up is worth a little disarray. The more willing you are to explore, the more fun the next few days will be.

Aquarius January 20 – February 18

Tempting as it is to say to one particularly stubborn individual “I told you so,” you’d soon regret it. They will retaliate by monitoring your words and plan, and how things work out. Sooner or later they’ll be forced to admit their errors. Wait. It will be worth it.

Pisces February 19 – March 19

While you don’t expect to be thanked for everything you do for others, certain individuals seem almost determined to be rude, and say nothing. Actually, they’re awkward about receiving favours or kindness of any variety. Be patient. Over time you will learn to recognise the ways they express their gratitude.
