IF IT’S YOUR BIRTHDAY TODAY

While every sign is influenced by the New Moon and its accompanying fresh perspective, the fact it takes place on your birthday indicates you’re beginning a new and exciting cycle. While you may be ready to shed certain pursuits or even alliances, other changes could surprise or even worry you. If so, keep in mind this isn’t about rearranging your existing circumstances but, rather, making very real changes, if not breakthroughs.

Aries March 20 – April 18

Only days ago, you’d have regarded the variety of changes you’re currently discussing as a compromise. But, then, that’s how things have seemed. But with both the circumstances you’re dealing with and your own priorities changing swiftly, you’ll not only want to update what you’ve planned or organised, you’ll need to.

Taurus April 19 – May 19

As a Taurus and somebody ruled by the gracious Venus, you’d always rather avoid disagreements, if not a clash. While in most of the situations you’re facing that’s possible, judging by the challenging aspect between Mars and the stubborn Pluto, in others you’ve no choice but to adopt a firm stance.

Gemini May 20 – June 20

Eventually you’ll have to speak frankly, if not take a tough line, with somebody who’s never easy to deal with. So, understandably, you’re avoiding this. Aim to put your facts in order and tackle this by the 28th, when your ruler Mercury’s encounter with stern Saturn forces these out into the open.

Cancer June 21 – July 21

Being a Cancerian, a water sign and, therefore, sympathetic to the issues others are struggling with, you’ll sometimes avoid even mentioning problems. While, often, that’s wise, at the moment it would be a big mistake. There’s a huge need to talk things through. Ask what’s wrong. This will encourage others to discuss their concerns openly.

Leo July 22 – August 21

You may not be feeling patient. However, with the current New Moon introducing timely and, even more, exciting insights about arrangements you’ve regarded as unchanging, it’s worth taking things slowly. What you learn between now and then could broaden your horizons, to the extent that you’ll rethink decisions you’ve regarded as final.

Virgo August 22 – September 21

Things are moving swiftly, so much that you’ need to rethink arrangements made only recently. While, ordinarily, you’d regard this as an indication of poor judgement on your part, now it’s the reverse. Life’s about taking chances, and that includes making arrangements that you know won’t last longer than a few days.

Libra September 22 – October 22

Usually, weighing up the time you’d invest in a plan and what you’d get for your efforts is both wise and practical. However, with so much in transition, there are few guarantees. Still, talk plans over with those involved. Just make sure that whatever you organise is flexible enough to ride out the inevitable changes.

Scorpio October 23 – November 21

Usually the New Moon is a time of stillness and reflection. However, because the current one is actually in Scorpio, that reflection will call your attention to changes that aren’t just timely, they’re urgent. Although some will be easy, others will require effort, thought and, in the case of a few, courage.

Sagittarius November 22 – December 20

Life would be a lot easier if certain crucial decisions were dealt with, and soon. While your eagerness to get things organised is understandable, if you make any arrangements, ensure they’re tentative. That way, you’ll be free to respond to the powerful insights triggered by the Sagittarius New Moon, in a month’s time.

Capricorn December 21 – January 18

Sometimes obstacles are no more than that. However, judging by the forceful situations being triggered by the clash between Mars and the manipulative Pluto, which is positioned in Capricorn, what arises and who you’re dealing with will corner you into facing facts you’ve been doing everything you possibly can to ignore.

Aquarius January 19 – February 17

From your perspective, as an Aquarius and somebody who’s always interested in a fresh approach to life, being willing to explore something is exactly that. It indicates interest, not a commitment. Yet others seem convinced you’re ready to take the next step. They could be right. For now, at least don’t say no.

Pisces February 18 – March 19

If ever there was a time to aim high, it’s now. While certain individuals may offer what they regard as sensible advice, if you believe in yourself, what you’re doing and know you can achieve it, then graciously thank others for their interest and do exactly what you think best.
