IF IT’S YOUR BIRTHDAY TODAY

There’s a difference between simply chatting and a frank conversation, something you frequently ignore. Yet, because aimless socialising often sidesteps what’s really happening, it can lead to ignoring issues or even very real problems, then giving the appearance all is well. But, the fact is, everybody has lessons and, occasionally, real struggles. From time to time, discuss these frankly, always and only with those you trust. These conversations will be helpful personally but also balance your perspective on the world around you.

Aries March 20 – April 19

By no means are you secretive. Yet you get so busy with what you’re doing that you forget to discuss potential plans with others until it’s the last minute. Which is exactly the case now. Whatever else you’re doing, drop it and focus on the matters in question. They aren’t that complicated.

Taurus April 20 – May 20

In mid-May your ruler Venus moved to accent your own ideas and, as important, discussing them with others. This was informative, and mostly because you realised how ill-informed certain individuals were about plans you assumed they understood. There’s still time to talk these over, but you’ll have to move swiftly.

Gemini May 21 – June 20

It’s not that you’ve been avoiding tricky issues as you haven’t really known what to say about them. However, recent discussions made it clear you’ll not only need to learn more about the matters in question, you’ll need to weigh up your feelings and with certain matters, prepare yourself to take a stance.

Cancer June 21 – July 21

Although the Full Moon took place nearly a week ago, you’ll still be dealing with the fallout from either confusing or, possibly, unspoken issues. Once you hoped these could be ignored, but it’s now clear that simply isn’t possible. Happily, there’s no rush. But still, tackle these as soon as you can.

Leo July 22 – August 22

Since the middle of last month, you’ve been forced to rethink both certain longstanding arrangements and more recent plans. While, often, the resulting changes constituted an improvement, as many were a disruption. Worse, those are now being changed. Annoying as this is at the moment, these too will constitute an improvement.

Virgo August 23 – September 22

It would be no surprise if you weren’t still thinking about recent frank exchanges regarding tricky situations. While being forthright made sense at the time, you’re now worrying that what you said was upsetting. It may have been. But the individuals in question are doing nothing, and need a serious confrontation.

Libra September 23 – October 22

Appealing as recent ideas or offers are, obviously you’d rather weigh them up before you take things further. However, things are moving swiftly, so much so that you’ve no choice but to indicate your interest if not commit now. Final as that seems, changes in circumstance will allow you to rethink things.

Scorpio October 23 – November 21

Only a few days ago, despite them seemingly worryingly far out, you agreed to explore certain new ideas or offers. Since then, however, you’ve been increasingly unsure about the wisdom of taking things further. The secret is to explore but, to make it clear that’s all you’re doing. Commitments are another matter.

Sagittarius November 22 – December 20

True the Sagittarius Full Moon was last Tuesday, but you’ll still be dealing with the fallout from both what took place and, even more, the feelings triggered by those events. While, ordinarily, you’d brush these aside, what took place is prompting a range of discussions, some of which are long overdue.

Capricorn December 21 – January 19

Exciting and often welcome as the thrilling events of the period since mid-May has been, it’s also triggered chaos. Tempting as it is to try to impose order on those recently disrupted arrangements, you’re urged to take it easy. Yet more changes, many magical, are in the air. That major reorganisation can wait.

Aquarius January 20 – February 17

Be careful of relying on the statements or even promises of others. Their intentions are good but even those who’re most determined to fulfil their commitments could easily be derailed by sudden changes in circumstances beyond their control. Forget about worries and instead ensure all your plans are flexible.

Pisces February 18 – March 19

From your perspective, a commitment is exactly that. You’ll honour even a causal promise. But, as you’re discovering, certain individuals who you’d have thought would be more honourable are shockingly unreliable. And, worse, they’re not at all apologetic about it. While, obviously, you’ll want to discuss this, wait until your mood is calmer.
