IF IT’S YOUR BIRTHDAY TODAY

While the powerfully placed Jupiter in your birthday chart indicates brilliant if, perhaps, surprising opportunities, things won’t necessarily be as straightforward as you’d prefer. In fact, between innocent but unsettling misunderstandings and the need to clarify your ideas and your needs, you’ll have to state clearly, and review, your requirements on a regular basis. This isn’t because of underhand manoeuvres as much as the unwitting carelessness of certain otherwise well meaning individuals. Say exactly what you want, and don’t be shy.

Aries March 20 – April 18

When you first organised certain arrangements, to your relief, they seem straightforward. Yet with every passing day, a combination of changing circumstances and the demands of certain individuals have turned these into theatrical dramas. Out of character as it may be, back off and allow others to deal with these issues.

Taurus April 19 – May 19

Now that you’re able to look back on the past few days, you realise that certain events brought persistent issues to a natural conclusion. This is wonderful, if not miraculous, mostly because your previous efforts to put these to rest have only heightened feelings of upset and resentment. Suddenly, however, they’ve gone.

Gemini May 20 – June 20

Every once in a while, you forget that because you’ve little interest in the variety of detail that fascinates the earth signs, especially Virgo, you tend to ignore their advice. While, mostly, that doesn’t matter, at the moment their ideas or suggestions aren’t just worth listening to, they could be crucial.

Cancer June 21 – July 21

Sometimes disagreements are no more than that, differences of opinion or, perhaps, a battle of the wills. But those you’re facing now involve more substantial issues, the rights and wrongs of certain longstanding arrangements. That being the case, gather all the facts you can before you raise these matters with others.

Leo July 22 – August 21

As a fire sign, you rather enjoy the theatrical side of the odd clash. Yet at the moment you’re feeling unusually vulnerable. So much so that even a harsh word would upset you. Out of character as this is, be cautious. This mood will pass as swiftly as it appeared.

Virgo August 22 – September 21

Nobody wants to be suspicious of others. Yet the attitude and, increasingly, the actions of one particular individual have made you wary. Judging by the current planetary setup, you’re wise to be concerned. Don’t worry. Instead, address the issue frankly and talk things through. What you learn could explain everything.

Libra September 22 – October 22

There’s a difference between knowing decisions will soon need to be made and being ready to commit. While, as a Libra, you’ll often debate the rights and wrongs of arrangements for far too long, in this particular case, you’re short of facts. And you’re unlikely to get that information until next week.

Scorpio October 23 – November 21

Few things are more wonderful than, having faced up to and dealt with a tricky situation, being able to kick back and enjoy what you’ve accomplished. Enjoy this moment of achievement. However, also bear in mind that, while you’ve made serious progress, other seemingly simple matters will soon demand your attention.

Sagittarius November 22 – December 20

Only days ago, you regarded certain increasingly burdensome arrangements as excess baggage and couldn’t wait to say farewell to them. While, as a concept, that seemed easy, now that you’re actually doing it, you’re discovering the process seriously tedious. Despite that, it’s not just important, it really must be your priority.

Capricorn December 21 – January 18

While it’s difficult to ignore the intensified feelings triggered by the Full Moon, mostly because its luminous presence is hard to miss, the reflective mood that comes with the current New Moon is another matter. Still, once you pause to reflect, you’ll realise how much there is you’d like to consider.

Aquarius January 19 – February 17

It’s rare that anything or, indeed, anybody upsets you so much you’re unable to discuss differences in a civil manner. Yet one particular situation has so angered you that you’re speechless. That’s probably for the best. For now, say nothing. Once your mind is clearer, you can talk things over.

Pisces February 18 – March 19

If ever there was a time to stand up for yourself, it’s now. This isn’t about confronting anybody but, rather, ensuring those around you know about your strong feelings regarding certain matters. While you’ve assumed others understand your views, discussions will soon reveal how little they’re actually aware of.
