IF IT’S YOUR BIRTHDAY TODAY

Judging by the link between ideas planet, Mercury, and truthful Pluto on your birthday, in certain matters you’re lying to yourself, either pretending you’re happy when you’re not or ignoring worthwhile options, because you say they don’t interest you. In both cases, and perhaps others, the real problem is your reluctance even to consider making changes in this part of your life. Yet you sense destiny is calling you to undertake these, and even more, this is the time to go for it.

Aries March 20 – April 19

By no means are you secretive. But at the same time, you’ll often pretend to be uninterested in or ignorant of certain facts because you’d rather not get involved in what you fear would be tedious or time consuming situations. While that’s understandable, judging by the current planetary setup, you’ll have little choice.

Taurus April 20 – May 20

Few things are more precious than relaxed time with those you care about, family, close friends or even colleagues, whose company you value. Yet events have kept you from being with them, at least for as long as you’d like. This won’t happen automatically. You’ll need to ensure plans are organised.

Gemini May 21 – June 20

As a Gemini, one of your greatest gifts is your ability to see almost any situation from several angles. However, in numerous situations, this has led to problems. In fact, you gave the impression certain arrangements were stable when that’s by no means the case. Explain this to others, the sooner, the better.

Cancer June 21 – July 21

You are capable of being extraordinarily patient. Or that’s the case when you, personally, are feeling calm and centred. And at the moment, that involves refusing to allow yourself to be drawn into dramas that really aren’t yours to deal with. Ignoring these won’t be easy, but it’s better than feeling overwhelmed.

Leo July 22 – August 22

One particular individual isn’t just picky about details, they’re obsessive about things you wouldn’t even notice. However, you’ve no choice but to deal with them. Rather than fume about it, ask in advance what they want to know and what’s most important. Their ideas and guidance will be surprisingly helpful.

Virgo August 23 – September 22

The line between being discreet and keeping vital information to yourself is never a clear one. However, the real problem is the situation in question is changing, and almost every day. This being the case, you’re better off discussing matters point by point, and far more often than you’d originally intended.

Libra September 23 – October 22

Only weeks ago, you had both short term and long range plans in order. Achieving this was a relief, mostly because this freed you to focus on other matters. This is also the reason certain last minute issues are so upsetting. They aren’t that bad, as you’ll discover when you tackle them.

Scorpio October 23 – November 21

Obviously you’d rather know where you stand and plan ahead before you commit to crucial plans. But, also, things are moving swiftly. So much that you’re better off plunging in, even if you’re short of facts, then deal with details as you proceed, carefully orchestrating everything, than find you’ve waited too long.

Sagittarius November 22 – December 20

You don’t think of yourself as stubborn and, by and large, that’s true. However, there are one or two arrangements or alliances involving others in which your attitude is surprisingly rigid. Admitting this won’t be easy, but once you do, you’ll realise why these need to be rethought, and urgently.

Capricorn December 21 – January 19

For ages you’ve suspected that somebody has been economical with the truth, but there was nothing specific that you could point out. Now that there is, you’re unsure what to say. Raise your concerns as a question, one in what you’re asking for information. What you learn is likely to surprise you.

Aquarius January 20 – February 17

It’s not that you were being secretive, as much as you felt sure others wouldn’t be interested in certain parts of your plans, so didn’t mention them. Now that these have come to light, you’re being accused of hiding things. The individuals in question are being paranoid. For now, say nothing.

Pisces February 18 – March 19

As much as you’d like to deal with certain already tricky matters once, and be done with it, that’s unlikely. In fact, with the coming pair of eclipses shaking things up, even seemingly straightforward arrangements are likely to change, and dramatically. Rather than worry, view these as the exciting breakthroughs they are.
