IF IT’S YOUR BIRTHDAY TODAY

As a Libra, you value harmony, yet also know the importance of standing up for what’s right and those people and pursuits you believe in. While you can usually do this without ruffling too many feathers, judging by the clash between the communication planet Mercury and the volatile Mars, on your birthday, even minor issues could become contentious. Worrying as that sounds, it’s a golden opportunity to say exactly what’s on your mind and, in doing so, clear the air.

Aries March 20 – April 18

Every once in a while you realise your enthusiasm about certain arrangements was misplaced. That’s the case now, to the extent you’re hoping something will go wrong. Judging by this week’s tricky planetary activity, it could. Still, you’re better off telling everybody you need to rethink those plans, then doing it.

Taurus April 19 – May 19

Only days ago, you both had a clear vision of what you intended to achieve and, even more, a straightforward plan for turning that into reality. Now, many of your ideas are coming undone. Let them. The actual basis for those plans is changing and so, too, must those plans.

Gemini May 20 – June 19

Although the actual Full Moon isn’t until Sunday, because it accents those people and pursuits that you care about deeply, you may already be experiencing feelings of doubt or vulnerability. If so, discuss them. This won’t be easy. But there’s no better time than now to clear up any confusion.

Cancer June 20 – July 21

Not only are you witnessing familiar elements of your everyday existence come undone, you’re also contending with your own emotional ups and downs. Yet, because these have been overshadowing life’s joys, you’re deeply relieved events are forcing you and others to discuss and deal with these matters.

Leo July 22 – August 21

You don’t just focus on a plan or project, you can become obsessive. Which has been exactly the case in certain situations. Back off, at least a little, or you risk losing the all-important balance between ventures of this nature and those more personal, and more rewarding, elements of your life.

Virgo August 22 – September 21

It would be no surprise if the actions of certain individuals you’ve trusted raises questions about existing and future plans. You are, however, urged not to draw conclusions based on what you’ve seen. Clear cut as things appear to be, there is information you’re unaware of. These facts could make a huge difference.

Libra September 22 – October 21

Tempting as it is to assume that making overdue decisions or resolving already pressing issues will relieve the pressure you and others are facing, that is by no means the case. Actually, judging by the Sun’s clash with Uranus, on Saturday, what seems your best option could change, and overnight.

Scorpio October 22 – November 20

Planning ahead isn’t just a virtue, for you as a Scorpio and a bit of a control freak, organising arrangements helps relieve any anxiety. Bear in mind, however, that between the current unsettling planetary activity and the forthright Mars’ encounter with your ruler Pluto, on Wednesday, even simple plans won’t last long.

Sagittarius November 21 – December 20

As a fire sign, you tend to assume that your actions speak more loudly than your words, and that those you care about are aware of your feelings. This is true. Still, this weekend’s Full Moon accents matters of an emotional nature, so show those feelings, and in every way you can.

Capricorn December 21 – January 19

For ages you’ve kept certain facts to yourself. Initially you feared they’d reveal more than you wanted others to know then, gradually, you realised these matters weren’t actually that crucial. But they are, as you’ll discover if you don’t raise, and discuss them frankly now. Others know you’re hiding something.

Aquarius January 20 – February 18

Emotional ups and downs aren’t unusual. Yet those you and others are experiencing are as intense as they are unexpected. Waste no time analysing the actual situations in question. While they may be a source of concern, this Sunday’s Full Moon is bringing those, and everybody’s feelings, to a head.

Pisces February 19 – March 19

Sooner or later you’ll have to confront one particularly difficult individual about complex and, perhaps, explosive issues. Tempting as it is to put this off for as long as possible, you’re urged to raise these matters, and the sooner the better. This unexpected manoeuvre will give you the advantage of surprise.
