IF IT’S YOUR BIRTHDAY TODAY
Your birthday chart is urging you to focus on life’s practicalities, so you, as a Leo, can enjoy them. If this sounds odd, then it’s vital you consider how organising your time, your money and various responsibilities can be fun, if not a real pleasure. The problem is that many view matters of this nature as drudgery. Once you begin rethinking these, you’ll realise that, when approached with joy, everything in life can bring utter delight.
Aries March 20 – April 18
You long ago learnt that when others turn down your ideas, they don’t necessarily mean it. Rather, they could misunderstand the way things would work or, as important, be lacking crucial details. Whatever the case, ask if there are any questions they’d like answered. This is the first step to winning them over.
Taurus April 19 – May 19
As a Taurus, your instincts about when to discuss matters in detail versus when to say the minimum are superb. Yet it would be no surprise if you found yourself unsure whether certain already tense issues should be addressed openly. Actually, because things are so confused, there’s little point.
Gemini May 20 – June 19
Usually the insights triggered by the New Moon are clear immediately. However, it was days ago, and you’re only just getting the picture. That’s because these aren’t mere insights but a completely fresh take on a matter about which you’ve been uncharacteristically rigid in your thinking. This is about to change.
Cancer June 20 – July 21
A few days ago the planet of focus and action, Mars, moved to accent certain obligations. This suggests, first, you’ll be reviewing existing arrangements, especially those that favour others. But, equally, you’ll realise it’s time you organised support for duties that were once manageable but are now becoming overwhelming.
Leo July 22 – August 21
Accepting that that certain longstanding arrangements must be substantially altered, if not go, won’t be easy. Having acknowledged that, you’d rather things kept moving. However, others are involved, some of whom don’t think or act as swiftly as you do. Acknowledge that, and instead of grumbling, you’ll let them take their time.
Virgo August 22 – September 21
For ages you’ve been telling others about how much you’d like to uncomplicate your life. Yet it seems events are demanding the reverse. Every time you try to simplify arrangements, changes mean rethinking things. Disruptive as these are in the short term, ultimately they’ll help you spot what must go.
Libra September 22 – October 21
From time to time, a retreat of some variety isn’t just wise, it’s essential. What’s more, your ruler Venus’ move into the most reflective portion of your chart suggests it’s appropriate. The only real challenge is making it clear to certain demanding individuals that, for the time being, you’re off duty.
Scorpio October 22 – November 20
Now that the dynamic Mars has moved to accent your finances and the use of your resources, a review would be wise. This isn’t so much about budgeting as thinking about how much time you spend with certain individuals and on certain pursuits, and whether that time is justified.
Sagittarius November 21 – December 20
There’s a fine line between chatting about what others are doing and events in their lives, and gossip. And, although you may not realise it, you’re on the edge of the latter. That’s because you’re dwelling more on their dramas and trials, and less on what they’re learning and how they’ll benefit.
Capricorn December 21 – January 19
Despite your efforts to avoid being drawn in by the dramas of certain individuals, you have trouble knowing where to draw the line. The real problem is that they’re expert at making you feel guilty. Once you’re able to recognise how they manipulate you, everything else will be much clearer.
Aquarius January 20 – February 18
It’s worth keeping in mind there’s a difference between making decisions and finalising them. Straightforward as what you’ve organised seems, events over the coming weeks will require you rethink things, possibly several times over. While you’ll rather enjoy this process, it will be far easier if those arrangements are flexible.
Pisces February 19 – March 19
When you first started discussions about future plans, you thought these were clear. Since then, however, the questions others ask and the feedback you get has highlighted serious gaps in your thinking and your plans. Tackle these now, ideally before you must make crucial decisions, in a few weeks’ time.
