IF IT’S YOUR BIRTHDAY TODAY
The fiery Mars moves to accent the structure of your life actually on your birthday. This is about both your family and your domestic setup, and equally, your activities out in the world. On one hand, this suggests the likelihood of sudden and exciting changes. But in its guise as the planet of ego, Mars is also encouraging you to pause and consider who, and what, you care about most and to put them and those interests first.
Aries March 20 – April 18
As much as you enjoy meeting new people and learning about new places, you’re now itching to get things done. But nothing’s gelled. Consequently, you’ll be more than relieved to learn that the move by your ruler Mars into the midheaven angle of your chart is all about taking action.
Taurus April 19 – May 19
Unsettling as both the past weeks’ events have been and what arises this week may be, you’ll feel a welcome sense of calm and serenity. This isn’t so much about what’s taking place around you as having reconnected with that deep inner wisdom that comes from being an earth sign.
Gemini May 20 – June 19
While everybody complains about the confusion triggered by your ruler Mercury’s retrograde cycle, which ended last Thursday, you’re still struggling with the fallout from it. In fact, things seem in more disarray than ever. Unsettling as this is, you’ll be grateful you’ve plenty of time to impose order on that chaos.
Cancer June 20 – July 21
Planning ahead may be a virtue. At the moment, however, it could hold you back. That’s because clear cut as the actual circumstances you’re dealing with seem, they’re bound to change. While some will be minor, and immediate, others will take longer. Knowing that, ensure whatever you organise is flexible.
Leo July 22 – August 21
Somebody seems determined to take over certain activities or pursuits that you don’t just regard as your responsibility, you’ve really enjoyed the challenge they’ve presented. Despite your reservations, discuss what they have in mind. Their ideas aren’t only good, as you learn more, you’ll realise they’re exactly what’s needed.
Virgo August 22 – September 21
One particular individual isn’t just irritating, their attitude infuriates you. Instead of doing what you must as swiftly as possible, then moving on, chat with them. Initially, focus on the current task but, as other topics arise, begin asking questions. What you learn will transform your anger into compassion.
Libra September 22 – October 21
Although you may already be aware of some of the exciting ideas or offers triggered by the recent rare link between the Sun and mighty Jupiter, in Libra, not every opportunity will be as easy to spot. Knowing that, make a point of exploring everything that comes your way.
Scorpio October 22 – November 20
The last thing you’re in the mood for is a complete rethink of arrangements you’ve only just organised. The way the thrilling developments triggered by Jupiter’s recent move into the most strategic portion of your chart are unfolding may be unsettling. But they’re still worth exploring, as you’ll soon discover.
Sagittarius November 21 – December 20
By and large your independent streak is an asset. At the moment, however, it could actually prevent you from benefiting from certain, seemingly restrictive, arrangements. You may even turn these down without realising you’ve done it. For this reason it’s worth reviewing recent encounters and, importantly, your reaction to them.
Capricorn December 21 – January 19
Appealing as certain ideas involving your work, lifestyle or domestic matters seem, they’d involve changes more far-reaching than you’ve had in mind. However, with Mars in Capricorn until early November, the pace will be swift and, often, there’ll be a shortage of the kind of facts you regard as essential.
Aquarius January 20 – February 18
Rather than try to fit everything you’ve committed to into your already jam-packed diary, it’s time to do some editing. This alone may seem one thing too many. But that’s the problem. Stop, take time for yourself, now. And if not now, today. Once you’re calmer, your priorities will be clear.
Pisces February 19 – March 19
Every once in a while, a good clear out of your cupboards, cabinets or files isn’t just wise, it’s informative. In the process of ridding yourself of the past, you learn a lot. But, even more, you’re making space for the rather wonderful ideas or offers currently coming your way.
