IF IT’S YOUR BIRTHDAY TODAY
Having the stern, practical Saturn in Sagittarius for nearly three years has taught you patience, focus and, even more, that certain people and pursuits may be fun but are really a waste of time. You’ve learnt to be tough about such matters and have benefitted from it. This birthday ends this cycle. What you’ve learnt will shape both plans and alliances that are demanding in the short term but which promise long range rewards. These lessons will pay off for the rest of your life.
Aries March 20 – April 18
Being a fire sign, you not only don’t mind sudden changes, they often add excitement to otherwise routine arrangements. However, what you’re currently dealing with is more than that. Still, disruptive as these changes may be in the short term, in the long run, they’ll turn out to be brilliant.
Taurus April 19 – May 19
As an earth sign, you have an instinctive understanding of what’s important and which issues or even serious problems can wait. However, with the planet of the unexpected, Uranus, taking a major role at the moment, things that would usually go smoothly won’t. Address these matters now, before they become pressing.
Gemini May 20 – June 20
Annoying, if not irritating as being forced to make intricate plans was, looking back on the situation, you’re glad you did. This wasn’t just about fine-tuning. The facts others insisted were necessary have turned out to be not merely important, but so informative that you’ve learnt a great deal.
Cancer June 21 – July 21
For weeks you’ve been hoping that one particularly temperamental individual would realise the problems they’ve been causing and behave better. But, if anything, they’re getting worse by the day. That’s because the individual in question enjoys the attention their antics cause and, just as much, actually enjoys inconveniencing others.
Leo July 22 – August 21
Now that your ruler the Sun has moved to join the ideas planet Mercury and practical Saturn and is accenting certain cherished but troubled alliances, plans or projects, things are bound to change. Even more than that, new ideas are likely to arise, concepts that could resolve all those concerns, and possibly overnight.
Virgo August 22 – September 21
When you’re worried about somebody close, whether it’s family or a friend, getting those concerns out of your mind can be difficult. Yet you’re reluctant to mention the actual issues, for fear of causing upset. Not only should you raise these, the individual in question will be relieved and delighted to talk things through.
Libra September 22 – October 22
Initially, you tried to conceal the depth and extent of your differences with one particular individual by glossing over the issues in question. But now these can’t, and shouldn’t be, ignored. While raising them won’t be easy, putting off those discussions will only make things worse. Speak up now.
Scorpio October 23 – November 21
There’s no arguing it. Last minute changes in plans are unsettling. Still, those you’re currently battling are actually in everybody’s best interests. The problem is, you won’t know why until you’re actually involved in those new, and seemingly disruptive, arrangements. That being the case, the sooner you reorganise things, the better.
Sagittarius November 22 – December 20
Only days ago, you wouldn’t even have thought of reorganising certain stable and familiar elements of your life. Yet now events are forcing you to do exactly that. While, initially, you might be annoyed, you’ll soon realise these changes aren’t just timely, they should have been discussed ages ago and are actually overdue.
Capricorn December 21 – January 18
It is becoming increasingly clear that certain facts you’ve long felt really shouldn’t be widely known and, still less, discussed actually must come out. The real question is how. And the answer is, slowly, point by point. Once you begin talking about these, you’ll be surprised how much others already know.
Aquarius January 19 – February 17
Enjoyable as hearing tales of the ideas and adventures of others may be, from your perspective you’re strictly an observer. The problem isn’t a new one. Your genuine interest and enthusiasm could be mistaken for an intention to join in, which is decidedly not the case. Make that clear, gently, but firmly.
Pisces February 18 – March 19
If ever there was a time to at least explore, if not say a tentative ‘yes’ to whatever comes your way, it’s now. While you may be very clear what and who is in your best interests, sudden but positive changes in circumstances could mean conducting a top to bottom rethink of your priorities.
