IF IT’S YOUR BIRTHDAY TODAY

The time has come to break away from certain once-rewarding arrangements. While you’ve been aware that you’re now giving far more than you’re receiving, you simply haven’t known how to distance yourself from these and, still less, to make a break. The real problem is, you’re assuming it can be done with a single, quick, conversation. Think this through. The deeper you go, the clearer it will be what needs to be said.

Aries March 20 – April 19

Life would be easier if you could make one plan then proceed without having to report to others or rethink things. But judging by the planetary setup between now and the end of the month, you’ve no choice. While these discussions will slow you pace, what you learn will more than justify any delays.

Taurus April 20 – May 20

The arrival of the somewhat magical planet Uranus into Taurus has begun a new chapter of your life. You may already sense the changes, in your perspective as much as in circumstances, it’s brought your way. Still, explore everything. What seems least promising could turn out brilliantly, and very soon indeed.

Gemini May 21 – June 20

The Sun’s move into your sign begins an upswing, both in your mood and in what have been exceedingly tricky circumstances. Challenging as what you’d faced recently seemed at the time, in every case you’ve either dealt with ongoing problems or learnt something valuable. Soon you’ll profit from it.

Cancer June 21 – July 21

As much as you’d like to clear up certain persistent, and increasingly worrying, issues these really can’t be rushed. This isn’t so much because of the issues themselves as the fact that those involved have been confused by frequent conflicting statements. For the time being, the less you say, the better.

Leo July 22 – August 22

Tempting as it is say a firm ‘no’ to those who’ve pestered you with unworkable suggestions or ideas you regard as hopeless, at least listen to what they have to say. While things won’t make sense immediately, slowly but surely you’ll realise these aren’t a bad idea. And, within a short time, you’ll be enthusiastic.

Virgo August 23 – September 22

Sometimes minor differences are no more than that. During this unsettled but exciting period of rapid change and growth, however, those differences could grow into a very real clash. If so, don’t let that worry you. Instead, discuss what’s behind those issues. Unlikely as it seems, everybody will learn a lot.

Libra September 23 – October 22

Tempting as it is to say a firm ‘no’ to certain unrealistic ideas and to encourage those around you to explore others, things aren’t quite that simple. In fact, it’s as much about how you look at things as the actual plan. Get the right perspective and everything else will fall into place as if by magic.

Scorpio October 23 – November 21

The good news about this unsettling yet exciting cycle of change is that, while you may need to rethink arrangements in a hurry, you needn’t worry about getting things right. While usually that would be your priority, frequent developments are forcing you to explore your options if not take chances.

Sagittarius November 22 – December 20

There is no right way to break unwelcome facts to anybody. Yet, happily, what seems worrying initially is likely to turn into welcome changes and those into breakthroughs. The trick? Encourage others to do what you would, which to remain optimistic, and to explore every idea or offer these hold.

Capricorn December 21 – January 19

When you’re not on solid ground, making commitments of any variety is a challenge. However, both facts and your feelings about the matter in question are unclear. Judging by the current planetary activity, you and everybody else are in the same position. Trust your instincts. They’re not only reliable, you’ve no choice.

Aquarius January 20 – February 17

When you made certain promises or commitments, they seemed straightforward and, better yet, would help another. But times have changed and so have your priorities. Enough you’d like to reorganise things. Don’t. These won’t be as troublesome as you fear and, besides, they mean a lot to the individual in question.

Pisces February 18 – March 19

If the story you’re hearing from one particular individual seems familiar, it’s no surprise. They have a near professional talent for turning a minor problem into a major drama, and then seeking the help of others to deal with the matter in question. Do nothing. They’re perfectly capable of handling this themselves.
