IF IT’S YOUR BIRTHDAY TODAY
Judging by the placement of the planet of growth and expansion, Jupiter, in the portion of your birthday chart that accents love and life’s pleasures, the time has come to focus on who and what you most enjoy. You may think you’re doing that, but once you begin to think about your priorities, you’ll realise things could be better balanced. Begin with small changes and soon you’ll realise how, and when, you can make bigger and more exciting ones.
Aries March 20 – April 18
By no means are you narrow minded. Still, you’re on the verge of turning down certain opportunities, mostly because they’d require that you go somewhere unfamiliar or, possibly, learn a new skill. This is a small price to pay for what you’ll gain, in the present but, even more, in the future.
Taurus April 19 – May 19
Obviously, last minute changes in plan are annoying, especially when nobody offers to explain the reason why. Now, that’s exactly what you’re faced with doing. While you may not be able to say much, you can explain it’s happened to you, so you realise what an inconvenience it is, and that you’re deeply apologetic.
Gemini May 20 – June 19
If ever there was a time to take chances on the unfamiliar or on ventures involving those you don’t know, it’s now. At any other time that might be unwise. But with your ruler Mercury retrograde and triggering all sorts of surprises, while some ideas won’t work, others could be a spectacular success.
Cancer June 20 – July 21
It would be easy to misinterpret the temperamental attitude of certain individuals as a passing phase. While, to an extent, that’s true, they’re also struggling with issues of which you’re unaware. Worse, they’re not ready to discuss these. They will be, but for the time being you must be patient.
Leo July 22 – August 21
Tempting as it is to finalise seemingly wonderful plans, take your time. Ideally, in fact, you’ll wait until the New Moon, on the 6th, and the fresh perspective it brings. This is particularly important in situations where, at the moment anyway, it appears you’ve no choice but to compromise. That could change.
Virgo August 22 – September 21
While it’s understandable you’re trying to avoid confrontations that could lead to more serious clashes, you’re better off saying exactly what you think from the outset. Actually, the reaction of others may be more for effect, something designed to intimidate you. If you’re anxious about speaking out, their strategy has worked.
Libra September 22 – October 21
Only days ago you dismissed certain changes in your way or living or working as unnecessary. Now that you’ve had time to think these over, you realise that disruptive as these would be, it’s also the fastest way to break up patterns that, while familiar, are preventing you pursuing certain longstanding goals.
Scorpio October 22 – November 20
Although the Scorpio Full Moon took place a few days ago, you’re still experiencing the repercussions from both the personal insights it triggered and frank discussions. While ordinarily you’d retreat to reflect on what was said, address your concerns openly. You’ll be surprised and touched by what others have to say.
Sagittarius November 21 – December 20
If you’re a typical Sagittarius, you’re easily bored so try to avoid having a routine of any kind. Yet, still, certain habits have become restrictive. Not only is that true, once you’re in the process of rethinking these, you’ll find ways to include the pleasurable activities you never seem to have time for.
Capricorn December 21 – January 19
Theoretically, facts are exactly that. Usually that’s true. But during periods like this, with both Mercury and Mars now retrograde, surprise revelations or sudden twists in plans could lead to unexpected insights or changes in seemingly stable situations. Knowing that, ensure even simple plans are flexible and expect the unexpected.
Aquarius January 20 – February 18
Don’t be surprised if the plans you’ve carefully thought through and organised don’t go remotely as you envisioned. This has nothing to do with you, and everything to do with the current exciting but unpredictable cycle of change and growth. The solution? Be prepared to rethink things, every day if necessary.
Pisces February 19 – March 19
For you, as a sympathetic Pisces, few things are more difficult than watching others struggle with unfair or challenging situations and to do nothing. Yet your instincts are correctly telling you that in those particular cases you’re observing now, the individuals in question must deal with these issues on their own.
