IF IT’S YOUR BIRTHDAY TODAY
Learning how to get along with others from family to friends, colleagues and even neighbours, is a skill, one that everybody has to develop. Yet your birthday chart emphasises a more refined and, ultimately more powerful version of this: diplomacy. This involves raising difficult matters, challenging those who’re avoiding their responsibilities or, equally, making demands of those who’ve no intention of being helpful. You already have a knack for this. What you learn now will make you a master.
Aries March 20 – April 18
Sooner or later you’ll have to review certain already tense issues, and in detail. Happily, there’s no rush. Actually, if you wait until early October, when both Venus and your ruler Mars are on good terms with the uncompromisingly truthful Pluto, it should be a lot easier to get the exact facts you need.
Taurus April 19 – May 19
When you offered to give somebody a hand with a tricky situation, you were referring to that particular matter, nothing more. However, the individual in question seems convinced your offer was open-ended. While confronting them about this is unlikely to be easy, the longer you wait, the worse it will be. Speak up now.
Gemini May 20 – June 20
Little is more exciting for you than discovering somebody who can match you, in both the new ideas they have to offer and their enthusiasm in discussing them. This combination is so beguiling that you’ll tend to trust the individual in question without truly knowing them. Take your time. You’ll be glad you did.
Cancer June 21 – July 21
Tempting as it is to make a promise that is as inspiring as it would be challenging, you’ll soon regret it. While your instincts are already telling you this, your ego is eager to make a splash. Although things could work out, even if they do, it will devour your time.
Leo July 22 – August 21
Yet again a long time has gone by and you haven’t spent as much as you intended to with those who matter most. While you’ve had a lot to do, so it’s understandable, achieving a better balance between your own plans and passions and being with loved ones can be challenging for you.
Virgo August 22 – September 21
Certain practical, business or financial matters have been of increasing concern, but you’ve been worryingly short of facts. Now, the Sun’s in this portion of your chart, you’re under more pressure. Be patient. Once your ruler Mercury moves to accent these, on the 30th, you’ll have access to all the facts you need.
Libra September 22 – October 22
Although you’re probably still experiencing the influence of the recent, emotionally intense, Full Moon in the most vulnerable angle of your chart, you’ve managed to deal with most of the issues in question. This is good timing, since the Sun’s move into your sign boosts your spirits and sense of enthusiasm.
Scorpio October 23 – November 21
Just when you thought you’d managed to sidestep discussions you feared would veer into worrying territory, all of a sudden everybody is talking about exactly these matters. While your alarm is understandable, those around you are better informed than you imagine. Ask them. You’ll be amazed how much they know.
Sagittarius November 22 – December 20
Change? You don’t mind it. Actually, when things get dull, you’ll seek out something new to do or explore. Still, unsettling as the events being triggered by the powerful link between your ruler Jupiter and inventive Uranus seem, they’re brilliant. While it’s not until the 28th, you’ll already be experiencing its influence.
Capricorn December 21 – January 18
Those who always need to tell everybody about their plans or, even worse, their deepest feelings annoy you. However, events are forcing you to talk over matters of this nature, and openly. Strangely, instead of being embarrassed, you’ve both had amazing discussions and, even better, feel less anxious than for ages.
Aquarius January 19 – February 17
Being an air sign, you really enjoy learning about people, places and ideas, mostly just for the sake of it. Currently, however, destiny seems to have something else in mind. You’re being forced to delve into certain matters or meet certain individuals you’ve regarded as seriously dull. They’re not, as you’ll soon discover.
Pisces February 18 – March 19
There’s no easy way around it. Changes in your own circumstances mean others will need to rethink their plans. Rather than apologise, then busy yourself with your own activities, see if you can get the individuals in question involved. They’ll not only enjoy it, you’ll be delighted they’re part of this new cycle.
