IF IT’S YOUR BIRTHDAY TODAY

As a Libra, your tact is a gift. You can encourage those who’re uneasy to take action and, equally, confront difficult people yet sidestep dramas. However with forthright Mars challenging Neptune on your birthday, the issue’s very different. You must be direct, either in a way that rouses anxieties or would, perhaps, trigger an explosion in somebody else. And, whatever the result, you’ll need to handle the outcome. Worrying as that seems, you’ll do it brilliantly. And that’s the real gift.

Aries March 20 – April 18

Sooner or later you’re going to have to clear up certain increasingly confused situations. While none of these is serious now, those seemingly minor errors and facts you’ve left out, mostly because they seemed of little importance, will soon become of far more significance. The sooner you tackle these matters, the better.

Taurus April 19 – May 19

Unappealing as the idea of conducting a substantial reorganisation of your life seems, recent developments have been dramatic. And to such an extent that, soon, you’ll have no choice but to rethink everything. As much as you dread this, you can’t help but feel doing everything at once would be easier.

Gemini May 20 – June 20

Only days ago, you were convinced that certain plans were perfect, for you and perhaps for others as well. While these may still work, some elements will require a substantial rethink. By no means does this indicate they were unwise as much as with changes in circumstances, these, too, must change.

Cancer June 21 – July 21

Somebody seems to think that you enjoy debating the rights and wrongs of certain plans when, actually, your objective is to gain their support. The problem is, they’re contentious by nature, so need to think they’ve won. Set things up so that’s exactly what happens, but so you also achieve your objective.

Leo July 22 – August 21

In the past, you’ve often achieved even far-fetched objectives through sheer determination. That may have worked before, but what you’re currently facing requires a more analytical approach and, probably, several varieties of assistance. These aren’t just friends or supporters, but experts who’re equipped to guide you every step of the way.

Virgo August 22 – September 21

Usually you’ve no problem setting clear limits or, when it’s necessary, saying a firm ‘no’ to those who’re difficult if not irresponsible. Yet one particular individual has told you a sob story, and you’ve believed them. Do a little research. You’ll soon realise they try this strategy with everybody and, often, it works.

Libra September 22 – October 22

The last thing you want to do is trigger a confrontation. However, because things have been building for so long, and nothing has been said, you fear this is inevitable. There’s a solution, and it’s to begin discussing these matters now, raising those issues point by point. Things will go surprisingly well.

Scorpio October 23 – November 21

It’s still a week from now, but you may already be benefitting from the stunning alliance between both Mars and Venus, and your ruler Pluto. This not boosts existing plans but, even more, new and often unexpected ideas or offers could suddenly take on huge significance, and will work out brilliantly.

Sagittarius November 22 – December 20

It’s rare that you’re stubborn. Usually you’re eager to explore new ideas, even if it’s only to learn from them and what they offer. The real issue is you’ve encountered a powerful, if concealed, fear of one particular variety of change. Delve into this and you can free yourself from it for good.

Capricorn December 21 – January 18

Ordinarily, for you the single word ‘no’ means exactly that. Yet in several situations, changes in circumstances, sudden developments or your own shifting perspective has made you reconsider some of these. In fact, a number are turning into ‘maybe’ and to your surprise, a few have become ‘yes’.

Aquarius January 19 – February 17

Plans have to be changed, that’s part of life. However, all too often others reorganise things and, only after that’s been done, tell you. While you’ve a right to be annoyed, the coming days’ events demand changes in your own plans, often suddenly, which will make you realise how frequently this occurs.

Pisces February 18 – March 19

Enough is enough. You’ve put up with the dramas and demands of one particular individual for a very long time. While, initially you tried to help them, since then you’ve coped with the resulting disarray. Now, wisely, you’re creating distance between them and you. This is a difficult, but wise, decision.
