IF IT’S YOUR BIRTHDAY TODAY
The theme for your birthday is ‘standing up for yourself’. This isn’t just important, being forced to make compromises annoys and upsets you. You fear others would discuss matters endlessly and want those dreaded compromises. Yet certain individuals aren’t just well informed, they’ve your best interests at heart. But you won’t know that until you’re more open, about both your concerns and the things you’d like to see happen.
Aries March 20 – April 18
There’s no way of describing the powerful links being formed by Mercury, on Saturday, and on December 1st by your ruler Mars, to Uranus other than as disruptive. Worrying as that sounds, you’ll soon realise this particular variety of disruption is leading to breakthroughs as thrilling as they are unanticipated.
Taurus April 19 – May 19
You take pride in your ability to stick to what you’ve committed to, whether it’s a personal relationship, a long term plan or a new venture. Yet, as is becoming clear and will be even more so before the end of the month, certain changes aren’t just timely, they’re urgent.
Gemini May 20 – June 20
The sense of achievement you’re deriving from dealing with and, even more, conquering certain tricky practical issues is fabulous. Still, you need a break. You’ll get it, and in wonderful if unexpected ways. The only challenge is having the courage to say ‘yes’ to an offer that seems too good to be true.
Cancer June 21 – July 21
Now that the Sun has joined tough Saturn in accenting certain already tricky situations, the time has come to discuss these. Once you begin, you’ll realise others were making no effort to put things right, mostly because the resulting disarray has actually been to their advantage. Knowing that, you’ll need to be firm.
Leo July 22 – August 21
For ages you’ve meant to go to certain places or meet certain people, but something more pressing has always come first. The real issue is your resistance to putting yourself in situations where you’re unsure what you’ll be facing. Acknowledge that, and instead of making excuses, you’ll plunge in with enthusiasm.
Virgo August 22 – September 21
It’s unlike you to be carried away by an offer about which you know little, or a situation in which you distrust the people involved. Yet you’re intrigued enough to explore at least a bit. This is wise. Not only will those ideas be interesting, you could find yourself fascinated by what you’re learning.
Libra September 22 – October 22
Allowing plans you’ve carefully crafted and care a lot about to undergo substantial changes or even come to an abrupt end is upsetting. Yet you’ve long known they weren’t solid. In fact, you were well aware these didn’t come with any form of guarantee. They have, however, taught you valuable lessons.
Scorpio October 23 – November 21
Acknowledging you really must make some practical or financial decisions is one thing. Actually, they’ve been on your mind for ages. However, with Mercury meeting practical Saturn in the part of your chart that accents these, and twice over the coming weeks, those discussions will need to turn into lasting plans.
Sagittarius November 22 – December 20
There’s no wrong way to compliment somebody, although certain individuals are so awkward about it that you’d think that instead of being generous, you’re criticising them. The problem is theirs, and is about their discomfort with positive thinking of any kind. While that could change eventually, it probably won’t be soon.
Capricorn December 21 – January 18
While you can be tough on those who’re lazy or simply expect others to deal with the details they can’t be bothered with, you’re capable of great generosity with those who’re working hard but facing setbacks. Few understand how deeply you understand such struggles, and mostly because of personal experience.
Aquarius January 19 – February 17
Although the New Moon, and its accompanying fresh perspective, was on the 18th, you’re still mulling over certain ideas that arose then. Unrealistic as they seem, you’re still fascinated, enough you can’t get them out of your mind. Don’t try. On the contrary, it’s vital you explore them.
Pisces February 18 – March 19
The rare and powerful alliance between fortunate Jupiter and your ruler Neptune may not take place until early December. But not only will you already have experienced some of the benefits it’s bringing your way, what’s arisen is far better than anything you’d conceived possible. And it’s just the beginning.
