IF IT’S YOUR BIRTHDAY TODAY

While the New Moon influences every sign, and especially every Cancerian, the fact it’s on your birthday marks this as a turning point, personally and in terms of close alliances, both of a business and romantic nature. Although you’ve had certain ideas or potential changes in mind for ages, what appears suddenly or is least expected could be most significant. Aim to explore, and learn from, everything. Only after that should you begin to narrow those options to lasting, and possibly life-changing, plans.

Aries March 20 – April 18

Because you’re in the midst of exciting, if pressing, changes, you’ve no time to dwell on the past. Yet others or, perhaps, certain events are demanding that you review longstanding arrangements. This may seem a distraction now. But once you’re actually examining these, the resulting insights will prove amazingly revealing.

Taurus April 19 – May 19

Every Taurus has had at least one experience that wasn’t just upsetting, it resulted in bitter feelings about one particular personal situation or project. Despite the fact this has held you back, you simply couldn’t discuss it. Now, to your surprise, you’ll be able to, and with an unaccustomed frankness.

Gemini May 20 – June 20

Although the Gemini New Moon, with its accompanying insights, took place a month ago, you’re only now recognising what some are about, and the changes they’ll trigger. Better yet, this allows you to take advantage of the insights involving practical and financial matters that come with the current New Moon.

Cancer June 21 – July 21

Only recently, you’d have battled to keep certain once-prized arrangements or future plans going. Yet now, you’ll happily let them go, and without a struggle. That’s as it should be. Not only are you conducting an extensive review of both existing arrangements and those plans, you’re also questioning your long term objectives.

Leo July 22 – August 21

Sometimes challenges are clear cut. If so, you then know exactly what to do. However, with the current emphasis on the most strategic portion of your chart, the issues you’re dealing with are more complex. This, in turn, means you’ll have to tackle dilemmas one day at a time, if not hour by hour.

Virgo August 22 – September 21

The next week will be as informative as, at times, it is perplexing. This is indicated by a series of complex planetary aspects, some easy and others more challenging. The resulting events will reflect that, which suggests your best strategy is to forget about planning ahead and take each day as it comes.

Libra September 22 – October 22

This hardly seems the ideal time to say a firm and rather unsympathetic ‘no’ to those who’ve been struggling to turn ideas into a solid plan. However, the problem is that nobody’s had the courage to speak frankly to the individual in question. That’s a vital first step to making genuine progress.

Scorpio October 23 – November 21

Certain complex issues, and there seem to be several of them, require patience. Raise these now if you must, but don’t be surprised if the only response you get is silence. Others aren’t ready to talk things over and won’t be until Friday’s potent link between Mercury and your ruler Pluto.

Sagittarius November 22 – December 20

Ideally, in life you’d be able to move swiftly from one plan, project or passion to the next, and without any delay. Unfortunately, from your perspective, that means ignoring the need to disentangle yourself from past arrangements. Tedious as even thinking about this seems, it’s not only wise, it’s crucial.

Capricorn December 21 – January 18

Dealing with those who’ll reveal only what they need to, and nothing more, is exasperating. What’s more, being more open is especially crucial now, with the situations you and others are contending with shifting regularly. Gently but firmly broaden the range of topics you’re discussing. That will make life easier for everybody.

Aquarius January 19 – February 17

For ages you’ve been struggling to overcome feelings of restriction, in the sense that you’ve been prevented from exploring certain intriguing ideas, ventures or even alliances. Now, however, not only are the circumstances in question shifting, so are your interests. So much, you could be surprised what the coming weeks bring.

Pisces February 18 – March 19

Certain individuals are experts at complaining. While they’ve tricked you in the past, you’ve long since realised this was their way of manipulating others, including you. While you’re no longer vulnerable to these manoeuvers, others are. Warn them and explain why but, be aware, you won’t necessarily be believed.
