IF IT’S YOUR BIRTHDAY TODAY
The message in your birthday chart may seem strange. But it will give you freedom to make changes, some minor, others far reaching, all of which you’ve felt simply weren’t possible. This is about Pluto, the planet of truth, which focuses your attention on arrangements and alliances that aren’t working or, perhaps, have become serious burdens. Yet you’ve resisted acknowledging this because you didn’t know how to disentangle yourself. Pluto will take care of all of that, and wonderfully.
Aries March 20 – April 18
Others are insisting you examine the source of certain issues from the past before you begin undoing those arrangements. While this process might be informative, there’s no time for any such analysis. Once you’ve untangled the difficulties you’re currently facing, you might want to ask a few questions. But not now.
Taurus April 19 – May 19
Although every sign is influenced by Friday’s New Moon, it’s in Taurus. This suggests that for you, it constitutes a sort of personal New Year, complete with resolutions about what works, what doesn’t and, especially, what must go. If ever there was a time to act with conviction, it’s now.
Gemini May 20 – June 19
At the moment, life is about diplomacy. This isn’t so much your choice as you’re facing a series of tricky situations, most not of your making. Still, if you don’t do whatever you can to unravel those issues now, things will only get worse. That being the case, make tackling them a priority.
Cancer June 20 – July 21
After weeks of difficulties, several complex situations are falling into place, almost magically. You did what you could, but your efforts seemed to be having little effect. Now, this week’s stunning planetary activity will get things going. You’ll need do very little. Things will come together amazingly swiftly and easily.
Leo July 22 – August 21
Certain cautious individuals might be hesitant about turning ideas into lasting plans, but when you’re excited about an idea, you see no reason to wait. While that’s understandable it’s worth remembering that with both Mercury and the powerful Mars retrograde, even simple arrangements are bound to change, possibly several times.
Virgo August 22 – September 21
Sometimes differences of opinion are no more than that. But now, in the run up to Friday’s New Moon, which is all about a fresh perspective, if not thrilling, unexpected opportunities, those differences could arise because you’re short of facts. The more questions you ask, the more valuable insights you’ll gain.
Libra September 22 – October 21
Usually you’re the one who keeps close track of facts, especially in matters that involve others. But even you could find you’re confused about situations from the past, or here and now arrangements. This, indicated by the retrograde Mars accenting such issues, will prove as illuminating as it is annoying.
Scorpio October 22 – November 20
Although everybody will be influenced by the coming Full Moon, the fact it accents close relationships, personal and professional, suggests you’ll already be aware of increasingly crucial issues. You might even try reviewing them now, before the heightened feelings typical of this cycle take over, and begin to complicate discussions.
Sagittarius November 21 – December 20
Few things are more exasperating for you than dealing with those who get so caught up in details that they can’t spot the promise in sudden ideas or offers. Yet with Mercury retrograde and accenting life’s practicalities, they’re well worth noting. In fact, those seemingly minor details could soon become of major importance.
Capricorn December 21 – January 19
Not only is the current planetary emphasis on who and what brings you joy in life, the coming New Moon introduces a vital fresh perspective on certain increasingly tricky situations. While, in some cases, you’ll know what to do instantly, others will require time and thought. Ultimately, all will work out brilliantly.
Aquarius January 20 – February 18
There are changes. And then there are the kind of amazing if entirely unexpected events coming your way during May’s first half. While you might already have recognised some developments as exciting, if a bit far out, others seem completely unrealistic. Just don’t say no. Soon their potential will be clear.
Pisces February 19 – March 19
Ideas for dealing with certain increasingly challenging situations are no problem. The issue is how to handle the inevitable objections of others about the accompanying changes. There’s a solution. Ignore them. Once those changes have been made and everything’s working, the individuals in question will have no reason to complain.
