IF IT’S YOUR BIRTHDAY TODAY

Exciting as sudden, and welcome, developments involving a combination of those people, possessions and activities you care about most may be, when what arises is completely unexpected or would lead to sudden changes, it can be worrying, especially for you, as a cautious Virgo. Ignore instincts to investigate first, then get involved. These, and there are likely to be several situations, are moving swiftly, which means plunging in and allowing experience to be your guide. As these promise to be magical, you won’t regret it.

Aries March 20 – April 18

After considerable confusion and a certain amount of conflict, you’ve finally talked through tedious but persistent issues. The problem is, while discussions were comprehensive enough for you, others insist on greater detail. Leave it to them, explaining you’ll happily explore the ideas they come up with later, and all at once.

Taurus April 19 – May 19

Irritating as last minute changes in plans may be, you’ve little choice. Besides, the more you discover, the clearer it will be that continuing with arrangements as they were wouldn’t have worked. For now, focus on learning more about your options. Once you do, the odds are good you’ll be thrilled.

Gemini May 20 – June 20

Although your ruler Mercury ended its retrograde cycle on the 5th, the fallout from the resulting errors and confusion is only just now clearing. The recent encounter between Mercury and the forthright Mars, which accents the structure of your life, did the trick, as the coming days will amply illustrate.

Cancer June 21 – July 21

The last thing you’re in the mood for are somebody’s exciting new ideas. However, judging by the current planetary setup, the person making those suggestions could be you. And, better yet, they’re brilliant. Next comes convincing others. Explain your vision simply and there’ll be few questions and virtually no argument.

Leo July 22 – August 21

Obviously you’d rather have the last word in recent conflicts. You could. But by then, you’ll have missed out on an intriguing array of good ideas, offers or, possibly, both, that are already coming your way. Once you actually begin exploring these in earnest, you’ll forget about those increasingly unimportant issues.

Virgo August 22 – September 21

Several times recently, you’ve made a special effort to be precise, particularly because those you’re talking to or working with are unfamiliar with the matters in question. Still, despite that, they’ve ignored crucial points. It’s not that you were unclear. It’s the fact most people don’t notice details the same way you do.

Libra September 22 – October 22

There’s a difference between the disruption that sudden changes, like those you’re facing, trigger and real problems. Tempting as it is to juggle plans in a way that will allow you to minimise those changes, instead explore them. Once you’ve asked a few questions, you’ll discover that they’re actually in your best interests.

Scorpio October 23 – November 21

Unsettling, if not annoying, as last minute changes in plans may be, instead of battling them, ask questions. In most cases, those who’re behind those changes have access to information you don’t, so are better informed. Once you know what they do, you’ll stop worrying and will, instead, back them up.

Sagittarius November 22 – December 20

From your perspective, a fresh approach to a situation that’s going nowhere fast is timely. However, as you’ll discover to your irritation, not everybody agrees that going at things from a different angle is wise. If you require others’ support, be prepared to argue. If not, simply do what you think is best.

Capricorn December 21 – January 18

No sign is better at being patient, at least when you’ve good reason. Yet recently, changes are both sudden and irritatingly frequent. This is another matter. Difficult as it is to believe others are even trying to avoid these, it’s true. Eventually, you’ll hear the whole story. Until then try, indeed, to be patient.

Aquarius January 19 – February 17

It’s the rare Aquarius who’s suspicious. Yet the offers currently coming your way seem too good to be true. This is no surprise, since the superb link between Venus, which is about both love and money, and your ruler Uranus is magical. If in doubt, say yes first, and ask questions later.

Pisces February 18 – March 19

The Pisces Full Moon may have been two weeks ago, but it would be no surprise if you weren’t reliving some of the powerful discussions, and still thinking about the resulting insights. While some seemed clear at the time, the more you reflect on them, the more you learn about yourself and others.
