IF IT’S YOUR BIRTHDAY TODAY

While every sign is influenced by the Full Moon, the fact it takes place on your birthday marks this as a turning point for you, individually, and just as much, in close alliances, both in your domestic life and out in the world. If there’s any challenge, it’s the heightened feelings this triggers. While in personal situations these can boost your excitement, you could be anxious about the progress of plans. Have faith. You’ve reached an exciting turning point.

Aries March 20 – April 19

Judging by the recent link between your ruler Mars and the rather manipulative Pluto, you’ve been dealing with a range of complex, if not frustrating, situations. Obviously, as an Aries, you’d always rather things be straightforward. Despite that, what you learn while untangling this confusion will more than justify the effort involved.

Taurus April 20 – May 20

It’s not so much you’ve been putting off discussions about potentially unsettling financial matters as you’ve been unsure what to say. However, with your ruler Venus having moved to accent these, your mind should be clearer and, happily, circumstances are moving along enough you’ve several appealing options to consider.

Gemini May 21 – June 20

Timing is always important. And judging by the current planetary setup, you’re urged to pick and choose your activities and your objectives with care if not caution. For now, focus on those that require less thought or strategy. Ideally, those that are more complicated should wait until the Sun moves into Gemini.

Cancer June 21 – July 21

Planning ahead may be a virtue and, usually, helps organise your time. Yet between the confusion triggered by Mercury’s retrograde cycle, during April’s first half, and the current swift pace of events, ensure whatever you organise can be changed and, probably, changed again. The resulting flexibility will make your life a lot easier.

Leo July 22 – August 22

After some serious worries, suddenly things seem to be coming together. True, you, as a determined Leo, have a knack for being persistent, at the right time and with the right people. But, also, the superb link between your ruler the Sun and practical Saturn indicates it’s all working out, if at the last minute.

Virgo August 23 – September 22

The past week or so is a blur of time spent untangling all sorts of problems but not much time updating others on your activities. As a result, certain individuals have the impression you’ve been ignoring them and, bizarrely, assume problems resolved themselves. Explain to them what you’ve been up to, point by point.

Libra September 23 – October 22

After weeks of having to focus on practical matters or financial obligations, your attention has shifted, at least in part, to more interesting pursuits. In fact, it’s all about new ideas, people and places. For now, simply explore your options. This alone will lift your spirits. Actual plans can wait until later.

Scorpio October 23 – November 21

Most Scorpios strive to create a stable life, so work hard to avoid unnecessary changes. Yet judging by the current planetary setup, in several situations, you have no choice. The trick is to start small. The more you do, the less worrying you’ll find the next stage of those changes.

Sagittarius November 22 – December 20

As a fire sign, you’ll respond to promising ideas first, then ask questions later. Which is exactly the right way to deal with the events triggered by the Sun’s recent powerful link to Saturn, planet of achievement. Still, judging by the coming weeks’ twists and turns, ensure whatever plans you make are flexible.

Capricorn December 21 – January 19

For many Capricorns, finding a balance between life’s duties and its pleasures can be a challenge. However, the recent stunning link between the Sun, accenting exactly such matters, and your ruler Saturn, made you pause and conduct a serious review. And, to your delight, you discovered things are far better organised than you realised.

Aquarius January 20 – February 17

Although the encounter between the Sun and your ruler Uranus took place on the 18th, you’ll probably still be thinking about the questions it raised and decisions you made. While some seemed final, you sense they won’t last long. You’re right. The coming cycle of change will lead to a far-reaching review.

Pisces February 18 – March 19

Long ago you realised there’s little point in discussing options with somebody who’s already made a decision, despite the fact they say they haven’t. The trick is to focus on the situation in general and steer the discussion away from anything provocative. That should enable you to avoid pointless debates.
