IF IT’S YOUR BIRTHDAY TODAY
When you make a plan or promise, you regard it as a commitment. You’ve given your word, and will stand behind it. But not everybody regards commitments in the same way, which at the moment is leading to problems, if not very real conflicts. Once you recognise others are far more relaxed about such matters than you are, you’ll exchange feelings of disappointment, if not outrage, for the understanding that their views are far more relaxed, than yours are.
Aries March 20 – April 19
True, initially, you had no interest in certain ideas or ventures that thrilled others. But now that things are falling into place, you’re beginning to realise how good these are. Discuss this change of heart frankly and openly. The resulting exchange of ideas will be exciting, if not hugely rewarding.
Taurus April 20 – May 20
In mid May Uranus, the planet of innovation and the unexpected, moved into Taurus for a lengthy stay. Since then, you’ve both experienced a lot and learnt a great deal. However, its recent clashes with the Sun and Mars will have been unsettling, enough you’re urged to seek advice from those you trust.
Gemini May 21 – June 20
Just when you thought the minor yet seemingly endless issues that involve one particular individual were dealt with and over, for good, yet another drama has arisen. Tedious as these are, they’d been building up for ages, so are bound to take a certain amount of time to review, discuss and put to rest.
Cancer June 21 – July 21
There’s a fine line between being stubborn, which would only make certain existing situations worse, and finding a way to talk things through. The trick is to say the minimum, then back off and allow others to take the lead. This will work far better than you’d dared imagine possible.
Leo July 22 – August 22
The coming week won’t be easy and, in fact, you’ll run into a range of obstacles and, equally, will face differences with others. While these may slow the pace, they’ll also mean you have time to consider certain options as unexpected as, ultimately, they will prove to be intriguing.
Virgo August 23 – September 22
One of the most difficult things for you to do, as a cautious and through Virgo, is to stand back and allow others to create problems for themselves by doing the wrong thing. However, certain individuals have no interest in facts or even advice. Back off and busy yourself elsewhere.
Libra September 23 – October 22
When recently, sudden ideas or offers first arose, you were both intrigued and concerned. While there was no debating their promise, getting involved could cause serious disruption. Still, you have. True, there’s been a bit of chaos. But what’s taken place is amazing, so much that it’s well worth it.
Scorpio October 23 – November 21
Every once in a while, it’s vital to take a break from life and its twists, turns and challenges and have a laugh. This could involve time with easygoing friends or, perhaps, these people or shows you find humerous. Whatever you do, it will be a case of laughter being the best remedy.
Sagittarius November 22 – December 20
Just when you thought everything was organised, suddenly even simple arrangements are coming undone. This is no surprise, and with the ideas planet Mercury retrograde until 19 August, there’ll be many more unexpected twists and turns. Still, each will reveal something, often facts you wouldn’t otherwise have been aware of.
Capricorn December 21 – January 19
Few things are more satisfying than overcoming an obstacle. Especially if, as may be the case now, it’s one that’s taken you nearly to breaking point. Now that you’re able to look back on those moments of doubt or struggle, your pride in facing them head on is well earnt.
Aquarius January 20 – February 17
There is no easy way to tell somebody that they’re in the wrong or, worse, that their actions have upset you. But it’s better to say exactly what’s on your mind now, and frankly, than hope the individual in question will figure things out for themselves. They won’t.
Pisces February 18 – March 19
It seems that somebody is trying to sabotage certain of your plans. While it’s true, the individuals in question don’t understand why these matters are so important to you, their intentions are by no means negative. Still, their lack of enthusiasm is bound to have an influence on their attitude.
