IF IT’S YOUR BIRTHDAY TODAY

Although every sign is influenced by the New Moon, the fact it’s Taurus and is on your birthday indicates you’re ending one cycle and beginning another. While some changes are taking place, you may be questioning, if not battling, others. This is what’s tricky, because you’re required to take this fresh perspective, which means you could misjudge changes. Challenging as it may be, you’re encouraged to plunge in. At minimum, you’ll learn something. But, you’ll get much more out of those changes.

Aries March 20 – April 18

By no means have you been sidestepping crucial issues. The real problem is you had no idea they were so important, so have ignored them. While you’ll need to delve into these in detail, in no way is it too late. Once you begin, however, your investigation must take priority.

Taurus April 19 – May 19

When you’ve worked hard to organise a plan, it’s natural you’d want to keep things as they are. However, if ever there was a time to forget about such struggles, it’s now. The actual foundation on which those plans are based is shifting, and as a result, so, too, must your ideas.

Gemini May 20 – June 19

True, the pace is frustratingly slow. While, obviously, you’d rather be getting more done, it’s as unwise as it is unrealistic. In fact, with your ruler Mercury retrograde and in the most strategic portion of your chart, your attention is better focused on the complex matters currently unravelling themselves than progress.

Cancer June 20 – July 21

You can no longer avoid raising an already confusing issue frankly. While at other times you could safely say nothing and hope the facts would surface over time, that’s a very risky strategy now. Although discussions won’t be easy, at least you’ll be sure others know everything they need to. That’s what matters.

Leo July 22 – August 21

When you first avoided mentioning certain tricky issues, it was because you dreaded the resulting lengthy and probably overly dramatic discussions. While this is understandable, these can’t be sidestepped. The sooner you talk these though, the more swiftly you can forget about them and move on to other, more interesting, matters.

Virgo August 22 – September 21

To you, as a Virgo, planning ahead isn’t just wise, it’s one of the ways you gain control over life’s twists and turns. However, with both your ruler Mercury and Mars retrograde, and kicking up unexpected events, you’re better off adopting a more easygoing approach to scheduling and, indeed, life itself.

Libra September 22 – October 21

Nobody is more tactful than a Libra who has strong views about certain matters but is unsure of what’s what. You’re wise to be cautious. What seem solid facts may be either incorrect or, possibly, somebody is concealing vital information. Whatever the case, you’re urged to keep an open mind.

Scorpio October 22 – November 20

Aggravating as those who’re picky over details that don’t matter can be, you’ve been forced to be as precise about certain worrying issues. While, ultimately, these may not be as crucial as you suspect, there’d be a high price for ignoring them. Knowing that, do and say what you must.

Sagittarius November 21 – December 20

Not only are you feeling restless, you’ve a need to shake things up in certain increasingly dull arrangements or alliances. While that’s understandable, and it’s true, things have become much too predictable, bide your time. Within two weeks the Sagittarius Full Moon will introduce exactly the variety of excitement you’re craving.

Capricorn December 21 – January 19

Sometimes progress in one area of your life means shedding once-prized achievements from another. For ages you’ve been aware that certain of these longstanding arrangements are more of a burden than a joy. But a rare sentimentality has prevented you saying farewell to these. However, the time has come.

Aquarius January 20 – February 18

Only days ago you were prepared to say a firm no to certain ideas or offers, mostly because you thought the results wouldn’t justify the disruption they’d cause. Yet now you’re actually giving them serious thought. You should. These are the right thing at the right time, as you’ll soon discover.

Pisces February 19 – March 19

There’s a difference between the talk of changes, which is very much in the air, and actually making them. While it may seem you’ve managed to avoid certain disruptive developments, they’re not only inevitable, they’re in your best interests, as you’ll discover when they’re made, later in the month.
