IF IT’S YOUR BIRTHDAY TODAY
Mars, planet of action, in Cancer on your birthday, kick-starts a cycle of both review and change. While you’ve been thinking about certain ideas, plans or projects for ages, events could force your hand. True, this may mean employing the other characteristic for which Mars is known, courage, that is, overcoming doubts or simply taking that first step despite anxieties. Once you do, the path ahead will unfold and, better yet, you’ll experience enormous pride at your achievements.
Aries March 20 – April 18
It’s not that you’ve been ignoring certain domestic matters as much as something else has always taken priority. Now, however, one particular issue has become pressing. While resolving it won’t take that long, you’ll need to pay close attention and must ensure that everyone who’s involved does, as well.
Taurus April 19 – May 19
There are the challenging situations you’ve been facing. Difficult as they were, it’s impressive how much you’ve accomplished. The attitude of certain individuals about the changes they’ll be required to make is another matter. If anybody has the tact necessary to charm them into being cooperative, it’s you.
Gemini May 20 – June 20
As much as you enjoy a lively debate, you’re not especially interested in winning others over to your way of thinking. Yet at the moment, certain situations are crucial, enough it’s worth giving serious thought to whether the individuals involved in those discussions fully understand the points you’re trying to make.
Cancer June 21 – July 21
Although the Cancer New Moon isn’t visible, it triggers deep reflection and powerful insights. Set aside time for this now, and when the actual crescent Moon is visible, in a few days’ time, you’ll benefit from insights that will influence your thinking and objectives for months to come.
Leo July 22 – August 21
You don’t think of yourself as a control freak. Yet with forthright Mars in the most strategic portion of your chart, you’ve no choice but to leave even crucial decisions to others. Annoying as this seems initially, you’ll soon be relieved somebody is dealing with the twists and turns involved.
Virgo August 22 – September 21
Now that the Sun has moved into the portion of your chart that accents closes alliances, from family and loved ones to colleagues and even neighbours, you’ll often find you must discuss plans openly. Understandable as your fears about this being time-consuming may be, others’ ideas will prove amazingly helpful.
Libra September 22 – October 22
For ages you’ve known potential changes on the domestic front or in your working life would need to be discussed. Aside from being unsure of your own priorities, you’ve also worried about the impact of these on others. Not only are they aware of potential changes, they’re eager to see them take place.
Scorpio October 23 – November 21
By astrological tradition, the New Moon is a time of stillness and is about going within, to think and, equally, prepare for the changes to come. Urgent as things seem, the current mood encourages you to adopt a slow pace and to reflect. You’ll take action, but probably not yet.
Sagittarius November 22 – December 20
The process of organising certain complex plans has been as tricky as, often, it’s been aggravating. Yet you’ve good reason to bother and are optimistic about how you’d benefit in the long run. Consequently, while you won’t be thrilled you need to rethink things, it’s clear this is vital.
Capricorn December 21 – January 18
While the differences between you and others are minor, they’re important enough you’ll need to work out an arrangement that you can live with. Tempting as it is to hope you can ignore these issues, it’s simply not the case. Instead, discuss them now and achieving an accord will prove surprisingly easy.
Aquarius January 19 – February 17
Judging by the tricky planetary activity between now and the end of June, even what seem straightforward arrangements are likely to need a rethink, if not some form of dramatic alterations. Knowing that, ensure whatever you organise now is flexible enough it can easily be reorganised, if not radically changed.
Pisces February 18 – March 19
Being a trusting Piscean, you sometimes forget how unscrupulous certain individuals can be. That’s especially the case now, mostly because with so much in transition, it’s easy for others to be deceptive, yet pretend their manoeuvres were simply innocent mistakes, not a way of deliberately creating a false impression.
