IF IT’S YOUR BIRTHDAY TODAY
While the New Moon influences everybody, and brings a fresh perspective on life itself, the fact it takes place on your birthday and is in Aries marks this as a turning point. You may already be considering saying farewell to certain elements of your life. Or, perhaps, breaking away from predictable activities or alliances. The trick is to maintain the foundations of your existing life while considering exactly which change you’ll be making.
Aries March 20 – April 18
Ordinarily, you’d be furious about being forced to halt progress in plans or projects, then begin again, and in a totally new direction. But that’s exactly what the current Aries New Moon, which is all about a fresh start, is telling you to do. Within days it will all make sense.
Taurus April 19 – May 19
Few things annoy you more than those who enthusiastically discuss making unsettling changes, but ignore their practical impact. Yet, the fact is, with things moving so swiftly, there really isn’t much information available on these matters. That being the case, you’re better off plunging in, and allowing experience to be your guide.
Gemini May 20 – June 20
You enjoy few things more than time spent with interesting people, discussing exciting ideas. Yet with your ruler Mercury positioned in one of the most sociable angles of your chart, you’re experiencing too much of a good thing. For now, focus on exploring those ideas. Lasting decisions can, and should, wait.
Cancer June 21 – July 21
While the potential of some changes is immediately recognisable, other developments are less clear cut, and could seem a nuisance. Although your instincts say to explore absolutely everything, certain individuals are hesitant. Don’t argue. Instead of detailing every benefits, point by point, simply rely on your enthusiasm to win others over.
Leo July 22 – August 21
The New Moon isn’t just timely, in that you’ve been searching for something new and exciting. Because it influences others, too, those around you will be interested in exploring, in a way that wouldn’t ordinarily be the case. Take advantage of this open-minded attitude to discuss all sorts of options.
Virgo August 22 – September 21
Observing others struggle with the fallout from recent, unwise decisions isn’t easy. However, they weren’t forced into these arrangements but, rather, initiated them. That being the case, resist the temptation to give them advice. They may well have information that you don’t. If they want suggestions, they’ll ask. For now, wait and watch.
Libra September 22 – October 22
Obviously, this week’s last minute changes, in both existing arrangements and those you’ve been discussing for the future, will be disruptive. That’s true. However, at the same time, they’re giving you an opportunity to rethink, if not substantially reorganise, plans you thought would work but are now questioning.
Scorpio October 23 – November 21
Just when you thought certain tricky arrangements were settled, sudden developments have thrown things into chaos. While, obviously, this is annoying, the more you learn about the actual circumstances in question, the more relieved you are you’re being forced to reconsider, if not conduct a top to bottom rethink of those plans.
Sagittarius November 22 – December 20
Obviously, you enjoy discussing intriguing ideas and turning them into plans. However, judging by the current link between Mercury and the practical Saturn, your focus needs to be on clear objectives and hard facts, not exciting but vague possibilities. This may be dull in the short term, but will pay off handsomely.
Capricorn December 21 – January 18
True, agreeing to offers as thrilling as they are sudden would create chaos in your life. But if you don’t at least investigate these, and give serious thought to where they’d take you or the changes they’ll trigger, you’d regret it. Remember, you’re doing no more than exploring, you’re not making commitments.
Aquarius January 19 – February 17
Certain individuals are stubbornly sticking to their beliefs, despite information to the contrary. This attitude is both mystifying and fascinating. Now, however, their unwillingness even to consider your ideas is actually causing you problems. Sidestep your overall concerns and, instead, address the situation head on. Others will be more flexible than you’d anticipated.
Pisces February 18 – March 19
Making complicated financial or business plans is challenging enough. However, now that the actual circumstances are themselves shifting with alarming regularity, rethinking things is nearly impossible. Discuss the situation with others. They, too, are facing similar dilemmas and share nearly the same concerns. You can work these out together.
