IF IT’S YOUR BIRTHDAY TODAY
It’s rare that life makes it possible to focus on sheer pleasure. That is, a day full of the things you love doing, time spent with those whose company brings you joy, those activities that combine intriguing pursuits with challenge perfectly. Yet the link between the Sun and Venus, the planet that’s about such matters, in Aries, in your birthday chart is about exactly that. Invest time in organising these and take whatever opportunities arise to enjoy them.
Aries March 20 – April 18
Only days ago, if asked whether you’re happy with certain longstanding arrangements as they are, you’d have laughed and brushed the question aside. You’re only now beginning to realise these aren’t just out of date, they’ll need a serious review. Begin now. The more swiftly you start, the easier it will be.
Taurus April 19 – May 19
The best remedy for things that truly upset you isn’t analysis. And, bizarrely, it isn’t an apology from the individual or institution in question. It’s forgiving everybody concerned, no matter how wrong they were, then moving on. Waste no time overthinking things. Challenging as this seems, it works. And instantly.
Gemini May 20 – June 20
It’s understandable that you’d rather avoid discussing issues you know could turn into dramas. While, thus far, you’ve managed to avoid that, it’s not the best strategy. In fact, if you raise them yourself and maintain control over the conversation, these could be settled, and be history, and within minutes.
Cancer June 21 – July 21
Every time you discuss plans with those around you, there’s another question you have no answer for. This is no surprise, since most couldn’t possibly be dealt with until after those changes have been made. Gently but firmly explain this and, once things are settled, you can explore your options together.
Leo July 22 – August 21
While it’s possible to acquire funds and achieve success, as a Leo you’ve always had a deep understanding of the importance of family and loved ones. Now that you’re actually putting this first, you’re receiving questions and comments. Because not everybody shares your priorities, be prepared. Some will never understand.
Virgo August 22 – September 21
Those who’re unable to keep a promise or commitment are seriously annoying. While you pride yourself on being dependable, a series of unexpected events is forcing you to rethink, if not drop out of, certain arrangements. To your surprise, others are far more understanding about these changes than you’d be.
Libra September 22 – October 22
There’s no question that even very challenging issues need to be discussed and worked out. But, obviously, you’d rather tackle them when the mood’s right and there’s a chance that your efforts will be rewarding. Unlikely as that seems now, raise these matters. You’ll be amazed how well things go.
Scorpio October 23 – November 21
Reassuring as planning ahead may be, judging by the powerful and somewhat unsettling link between Jupiter and your ruler Pluto on the 30th, even the simplest of arrangements will need a rethink. Worrying as this seems now, the events that trigger these changes will be so thrilling you won’t mind at all.
Sagittarius November 22 – December 20
Keeping certain unimportant information under wraps is one thing. Everybody does it, including you. But actively hiding facts that could be of significance to others is a very different matter. And it’s something you did, if unthinkingly. Tempting as it is to ignore this, you can’t. Tell others what’s what, and right away.
Capricorn December 21 – January 18
Annoying as a last minute change in plans can be, if you had a hand in arranging things to begin with, there shouldn’t be much problem reorganising things. However, it appears certain less thorough individuals were in charge. You’re urged to take over, otherwise those changes could be a bit chaotic.
Aquarius January 19 – February 17
The difference between making a decision and that decision being final may seem far too philosophical for your current mood. Yet invest a little time in discerning which situations are in flux, so need only tentative decisions, which will require less time, and you’ll recognise why it’s worth the effort.
Pisces February 18 – March 19
Tempting as it is to back down in the face of the rather ferocious attitude of certain individuals, their objections to what you’re doing or have decided is all about ego, and has little to do with hard facts. If they were actually in charge, as they demand, they’d complain even more.
