IF IT’S YOUR BIRTHDAY TODAY

The term ‘fresh start’ alone is uplifting, in that it suggests leaving behind burdensome thoughts or arrangements and, at the same time, focusing on those that hold greater promise for the future. While this is exactly what your birthday chart is about, actually saying farewell to certain activities or alliances that are dear to your heart is another matter. You’ll be tempted to shore them up. Resist that. Wonderful things await you, but first you must clear the way.

Aries March 20 – April 18

Your approach to dealing with new ideas and offers, that is, to plunge in and learn from experience, works for you. But as you’ve discovered, certain individuals need to talk things through. Happily for you, with the current swift pace there’s no time for even a moment’s discussion.

Taurus April 19 – May 19

Long ago you learnt that there’s a right and wrong way to deal with even the simplest of issues. This combination of tact and reason comes so naturally that you rarely give it thought. Still, you might find yourself strategising how you’ll approach, and discuss solutions for, certain already tense matters.

Gemini May 20 – June 19

In most questions and, in most situations, there’s an ideal way to deal with simple issues. But in many of those you’re currently facing, there are all sorts of appealing options. That’s as it should be. This isn’t about making a single plan. It’s about broadening your horizons, and in many ways.

Cancer June 20 – July 21

Saying you won’t allow those who’re hyper-critical to bother you is one thing. But actually ignoring their words to you, and those you know they’re saying to others, isn’t that easy. Consider the pain behind those words and, instead of being hurt, you’ll be compassionate about what they’re suffering, every single day.

Leo July 22 – August 21

Just when you thought you had things organised, suddenly life seems determined to throw those plans into chaos. Annoying as this is, if you’re to take advantage of the sudden, and rather wonderful, offers and opportunities coming your way, you’ll need to be ready for a few unsettling shakeups.

Virgo August 22 – September 21

If you’ve questions about the timing of certain plans and, especially, about money, that’s no surprise. With the Sun already in this portion of your chart, these are bound to be on your mind. Still, decide nothing until you see what Saturday’s New Moon, which also accents these, brings your way.

Libra September 22 – October 21

Life would be a lot easier if you could have discussions you know will be difficult in a setting that would, at least, be comfortable. But the fact is, you’ll probably have to talk things over on the run. Unappealing as that idea is, the sooner you tackle these, the better.

Scorpio October 22 – November 20

Dealing with recent misunderstandings was bad enough. But reviewing these issues seems pointless. Or it will, until you begin talking things over with others who were also involved. Their perspective, and their version of facts, are very different from yours. Discussion isn’t just wise, it’s an investment in your future.

Sagittarius November 21 – December 20

As a fire sign, you’ve an instinctive understanding that while civilised discussions are important, sometimes it takes a good argument to really clear the air. Still, instead of plunging in, gather your facts, then review your feelings. This ensures when you do speak up, it will be with clarity and focus.

Capricorn December 21 – January 19

Now that Mars is in Capricorn, you’ll be thinking and acting unusually swiftly. However, often those around you will also be influenced by its rapid pace. This is especially the case in certain joint arrangements. While you’ll want to be thorough, others won’t just be in a hurry, they’ll need to act fast.

Aquarius January 20 – February 18

Only recently you’d have been thrilled to hear about the ideas and offers currently coming your way. Now you’re worried, both about fitting them in. But, even more, exploring these would take a great deal of time, which is one thing you don’t have. Your priority, therefore, is rethinking your schedule.

Pisces February 19 – March 19

As a Pisces you’re unique in your ability to see promise where others can’t. While this is a virtue, from time to time even you must review your feelings about certain arrangements and, equally, certain individuals. It may be they can’t, and won’t, live up to that promise you saw initially.
