IF IT’S YOUR BIRTHDAY TODAY

Your gift for cheering up even those who’re feeling seriously downbeat is remarkable. But judging by the influence of the gracious Venus in your birthday chart, this isn’t as much about cheering others up as it is about recognising how much somebody cares about you. This could be family, a dear friend or romantic love. The trick is to focus on how much certain individuals care, and to ensure you both acknowledge it, and savour those feelings in depth.

Aries March 20 – April 19

You’re by no means secretive. Still, with the current Full Moon heightening your emotions, revealing strong feelings, you’re puzzlingly unsure what to say. The answer is, just begin somewhere. The exact words don’t matter. You’ll soon discover others are in the same situation and, better yet, eager to talk things over.

Taurus April 20 – May 20

As a Taurus and somebody ruled by the charming Venus, you’d rather avoid a subject entirely than face discussions you know will be a nightmare. While, only recently, those anxieties were valid, things have changed. Others have realised they were being over-sensitive and the actual matter in question has become less complicated.

Gemini May 21 – June 20

Informative and, indeed, exciting as recent discussions were, they did no more than inform you about what could happen. While the excitement these promised fuelled your enthusiasm for a few days, the moment has come to decide whether you’re ready to invest time, thought, effort and, possibly, heart in these.

Cancer June 21 – July 21

Although every sign and, in fact, everybody is influenced by the heightened feelings being triggered by the current Full Moon, as a Cancerian you tend to be more aware of it. Which can mean you may need to help certain individuals cope with the intense, but temporary, emotional ups and downs they’re experiencing.

Leo July 22 – August 22

As appealing as an offer that’s come from out of the blue may be, the real issue is whether or not you’d benefit from it. In fact, taking full advantage of it would mean making changes far more extensive than you’d previously considered. On the other hand, the odds are good these will work brilliantly.

Virgo August 23 – September 22

Your knack for keeping track of even unimportant facts is amazing. Since it comes naturally, you rarely think about it until you realise how little others remember or, if necessary, note down. Bear this in mind now, since in several situations you’ll need vital information to hand. Don’t expect others to have it.

Libra September 23 – October 22

A little over a week ago, the move by your ruler Venus into the most decisive angle of your chart ended an informative but also frustrating cycle. However, now that you’re finally in a position to make decisions, you’ll find you’re grateful for what you learnt and even the people you met.

Scorpio October 23 – November 21

If you’re still mulling over recent ideas, offers or opportunities mostly because they seem too good to be true, that’s understandable. You’ve often been disappointed, especially in the recent past. However, you’re in the midst of an upbeat cycle. Explore these. You’ll discover they’re just as good as they seem.

Sagittarius November 22 – December 20

Being optimistic by nature, you’re rarely unsettled by unexpected developments or the questionable actions of others. Yet occasionally events deepen your awareness of these feelings. Certainly, the intensity or, perhaps, genuine sense of vulnerability, triggered by the intense Sagittarius Full Moon could lead to you acknowledging emotions as deep as they are surprising.

Capricorn December 21 – January 19

Viewed from one angle, it’s important that you weigh up the potential versus the liabilities of a recent particularly appealing idea or offer. However, with things moving swiftly, you’re better off getting involved and allowing experience to be your guide. You can always back out later, although it’s unlikely you’ll want to.

Aquarius January 20 – February 17

On the 15th, your ruling planet Uranus moved into a new position, shifting your focus and, because its position influences others, triggering changes in the world around you as well. While some of these changes are clear cut, others are more puzzling. But, mostly, they’re still unfolding. The solution? Be patient.

Pisces February 18 – March 19

Only a few days ago, the fortunate Jupiter formed a rare and stunning alliance to your ruler Neptune. While the amazing events it triggered may already have appeared, this isn’t about a single idea or offer or a single day. Explore absolutely everything. What seems least likely now could turn out brilliantly.
