IF IT’S YOUR BIRTHDAY TODAY

The emphasis in your birthday chart is on discussion, often regarding your vision of what you can achieve. But, equally, it’s about facing difficult facts and learning from past mistakes. While, often, these insights will be both informative and a relief, in a few situations you might be reluctant to acknowledge their truth. Still, do so. Challenging as facing those facts may be, what comes to light, and what you learn will form a firm foundation for those future achievements.

Aries March 20 – April 19

There’s a difference between making a plan and one that’s final. While you can work fast and get things organised in a day or so, don’t think that in the process you’re organising anything that can be regarded as lasting. Once things are settled, return to the matter, and deal with all the details properly.

Taurus April 20 – May 20

Because you hate it when others try to force their views or, worse, plans on you without even discussing it, you try very hard to avoid doing the same. Yet with things moving so swiftly, there’ve been complaints about various decisions. Listen but do nothing. Certain individuals would complain, whatever you do.

Gemini May 21 – June 20

At times in the past you’ve ignored worrying facts in the hope that either circumstances would change or you’d come up with a solution. However, not only is that unlikely, it’s vital that you recognise the problem and, in doing so, decide how to handle it. This one can’t be put off.

Cancer June 21 – July 21

One particular individual seems to be playing a game in which they’re trying to find somebody to blame for their self-created misery. The real problem is they’re so manipulative that others feel guilty ignoring their moaning. Yet the only solution is to do exactly that. The less attention you give them, the better.

Leo July 22 – August 22

When you’re in the midst of a demanding period, as is currently the case, you tend to persist until you’ve achieved what you have in mind. Judging by recent, current and ongoing obstacles, not only will you need a break, you’d benefit from one. Pause. Relax. Do something else. You’ll be glad you did.

Virgo August 23 – September 22

With so much going on at the moment, and many of those events leading to unsettling changes, everybody’s on edge. Including you. While, obviously, things would be easier if you could slow your pace, decisions will have to be made, and soon. For now, focus on exploring your options. That’s enough.

Libra September 23 – October 22

Often people commit to something, then back out suddenly. For you, as a conscientious Libra, that sort of behaviour always comes as a bit of a shock. What’s more, that’s exactly what you’re facing now. Experience has shown who’s been unreliable in the past. The odds are good they will be again.

Scorpio October 23 – November 21

Long ago you learnt the power that comes with keeping vital facts to yourself. This gives you the option of revealing those at an advantageous moment. However, this will also make others wonder what else you’re keeping from them, and will trigger suspicion, if not distrust. Think carefully about this strategy.

Sagittarius November 22 – December 20

Sometimes obstacles are no more than that, difficulties that are best bypassed as swiftly as possible. But those you’re currently facing are prompting you to investigate certain matters that you’re either unaware are of or have ignored. Whatever the case, the sooner you look into them, the better.

Capricorn December 21 – January 19

Somebody you care about is edging towards decisions you regard as worrying and, possibly, downright disastrous. While, obviously, you’ve raised your concerns, they disagree. Back off. If you’re right, they’ll discover it soon enough. But, also, their nature is different, which means what’s disastrous for you wouldn’t be for them.

Aquarius January 20 – February 17

No matter how well you know certain individuals and however much you trust them, you’re urged to adopt a flexible approach to existing plans and future arrangements. This ensures the changes indicated by the current planetary set up will cause the least disruption. In some cases, being prepared, means you might even welcome it.

Pisces February 18 – March 19

Somebody who’s usually easygoing is in such a bad mood that you’ve no idea what to say. Clearly they are unlikely to welcome suggestions, and simply lending a hand could make things worse. The secret is to do a lot of listening, be sympathetic and wait until it all blows over.
