IF IT’S YOUR BIRTHDAY TODAY
This birthday is about shedding an old skin. That may seem a strange thought, but with the Sun superbly aspecting Pluto, planet of truth and transformation, on your birthday, you’re in the midst of a period of rebirth. In some cases this means shedding familiar habits, pleasures, beliefs or even, bizarrely, complaints or problems. Each is keeping you stuck in the present when there’s so much that’s exciting waiting for you. But first, it’s about decluttering your mind and life.
Aries March 20 — April 18
Obviously you can’t go through life without making decisions. It’s just that with your ruler Mars and Mercury both retrograde, even simple plans won’t last long. That’s fine. In fact, knowing that changes are inevitable, gives you the chance to try out new and rather risky ideas without any concern.
Taurus April 19 — May 19
On the surface it probably seems one particular individual is behind the problems you and everybody else are wrestling with. At the moment, however, things aren’t that simple. Rather than trying to track down the information you need, do and say nothing. Soon certain entirely unexpected facts will appear, and explain everything.
Gemini May 20 — June 19
Are you facing one disappointment or disillusioning situation after another? That’s no surprise. This cycle is all about reviewing exactly such matters with an eye to eliminating those that are more of a burden than a benefit. If they don’t work and can’t be improved upon, then they should probably go.
Cancer June 20 — July 21
Don’t be surprised if those who you were sure would refuse even to discuss certain troublesome issues are willing to talk them over. While they’ve been concerned about these matters, they were also anxious about raising them. They’ll express their gratitude for your courage by being unexpectedly cooperative.
Leo July 22 — August 21
There’s a fine line between standing your ground, which obviously you must when you’re unsure about certain matters, and being stubborn. As you well know, you can sometimes be uncompromising just because you’re not entirely ready to make changes. Now, however, this is unwise. You’d only be causing yourself problems.
Virgo August 22 — September 21
Obviously life would be easier if you were able to make lasting decisions about unsettled elements of your domestic or working life. But with so much in transition, even simple plans are unlikely to last long. Ideally, decisions will wait until the Full Moon, on the 21st, when events bring everything together.
Libra September 22 — October 21
Long ago you learnt the danger in saying an uncompromising ‘no’, even when you felt there was no chance certain ideas or offers would go any further. However, the arrangements involving certain unscrupulous individuals are another matter. Cut all ties with them now, and in a manner that’s both clear and firm.
Scorpio October 22 — November 20
Although you’re expert at playing a waiting game when you must, recently you’ve found the need to bide your time particularly annoying. Actually, this is no surprise. The recent Scorpio Full Moon heightened your feelings, especially about frustrating situations of this nature. Happily, that aggravation will vanish as swiftly as it appeared.
Sagittarius November 21 — December 20
Long ago you learnt that at times there’s no common ground with others, which means you must simply learn to agree to disagree. This is the case now. Proceed with your plans, but make a point of updating the individuals in question. They’re far more interested in your ideas than they’re letting on.
Capricorn December 21 — January 19
On rare occasions, life allows you to do what might be termed ‘redeem credits earned in the past’. Some involve others, a few efforts you made but weren’t compensated for properly. Whatever the case — and there could be several such matters — surprise offers or opportunities are these, coming back to you.
Aquarius January 20 — February 18
As an air sign, you’re not only proud of your logical mind, you rely on it to assess everything from your daily plans to major decisions. Yet what you’re currently facing is so complex you’re being forced to rely on your intuition as much as those hard facts. In this particular situation, it’s the best option.
Pisces February 19 — March 19
Being compassionate by nature, you’ll often lend a hand to others without giving it a thought. Then there are certain individuals who you help, mostly because it silences their constant complaining. This once you’ll need to take a tough line and say no or face increasingly persistent, and serious, demands from them.
