IF IT’S YOUR BIRTHDAY TODAY
If you’re looking for a single theme for this birthday, it may be difficult to discern, mostly because the focus is on shaking up any kind of habit that is preventing you from trying something new, growing or living a better or more loving life. Consequently, you’ll be forced to alter seemingly meaningless activities and, at the same time, venture into unfamiliar if not strange territory. When looking back, you’ll spot what an important role each experience, and change, played in making it all happen.
Aries March 20 – April 19
Giving in to somebody who’s less well informed than you, but who insists you should take their advice, may be irritating. Yet, certain facts they know could be helpful, especially with increasingly frustrating matters. Focus on the information you need and issues you want resolved. They needn’t become your best friend.
Taurus April 20 – May 20
You don’t mind standing up to somebody when increasingly tricky issues need attention. But certain matters haven’t seemed that urgent and, even more, your own feelings about them have been unclear. Take it slowly. Over the next few days, both circumstances and your own priorities will become considerably clearer.
Gemini May 21 – June 20
It would be easy to make the mistake of thinking others are being vague about details because they’re ill-informed or just don’t care. But judging from the current planetary setup, certain individuals could actually be hiding something. If you sense they’re being deceptive, begin asking a few questions.
Cancer June 21 – July 21
`Worrying about unresolved issues or, worse, knowing that as things stand, problems are inevitable is no fun. However, one of the benefits of Mercury being retrograde is that unanticipated changes could alter circumstances or even lead to surprise solutions, possibly overnight. Expect, and welcome, the unexpected.
Leo July 22 – August 22
Sometimes misunderstandings are no more than that, issues based on somebody having got the facts wrong or, perhaps, there being such a gulf in views that matters need to be discussed in detail. Whatever the case, and there could be several such situations, these need attention. And the sooner, the better.
Virgo August 23 – September 22
Few things are as rewarding as the awareness that you’ve tamed what were exciting but unruly ideas and turned them into a workable plan. However, judging by the powerful and positive planetary activity at the end of August, what’s good now will just get better. Knowing that, ensure plans are flexible.
Libra September 23 – October 22
Nobody would blame you for wanting to deal with, and put to rest, certain increasingly tricky situations. However, you’re urged to take into account the changes that Saturday’s powerful eclipsed New Moon is likely to trigger. These will be thrilling now, but once you learn more, are likely to lead to genuine breakthroughs.
Scorpio October 23 – November 21
There are few things more distressing for a Scorpio to witness than watching events or, possibly, an individual undo carefully organised arrangements. But, in fact, with things moving so swiftly, what would have worked only recently must be rethought, from top to bottom. Knowing that, stand back and let those changes unfold.
Sagittarius November 22 – December 20
Every once in a while Lady Luck decides to bless you with her bounty, and that’s exactly what’s coming your way between now and your ruler Jupiter’s link with the life-changing Neptune, on the 19th. The price? Being flexible to ideas or offers you’d ordinarily refuse. You must at least explore them.
Capricorn December 21 – January 19
Ordinarily you’d be discouraged from indulging yourself in your stubborn streak, simply because your thinking becomes rigid. However, with the retrograde Mercury forcing everybody to make changes, you’ll have to be flexible. The trick is to maintain that stubborn focus, yet allow unexpected events to reshape your plans, possibly more than once.
Aquarius January 20 – February 17
The past several weeks have been challenging for everybody, mostly because there’ve been so many changes, and most of those seem random. Still, if your instincts are telling you that, in time, you’ll learn more, they’re right. Each fact is like a puzzle piece, and slowly, but surely, they’ll fit together.
Pisces February 18 – March 19
While the current series of eclipses is influencing every sign, in your case their focus in on which elements of your life work for you and which don’t. Initially this may be unclear if not seriously confusing. Soon, however, what you discover will first, amaze you and then become a relief.
