IF IT’S YOUR BIRTHDAY TODAY

There’s a big gap between knowing what’s on your mind and, especially, being aware of what you want to get across to others and actually being able to do it. The secret is to give minimum thought to the conversation, that is, do no more than line up the matters you intend to discuss. Then waste no time wondering how to begin or worrying when would be best. Once you’re actually talking things over, you’ll realise others are as eager as you are to talk these issues over and, more important, put them to rest.

Aries March 20 – April 18

You’ve no fear of standing up to others, even those who’re sometimes intimidating. However, those who’re obsessed with pointless detail are another matter. Yet, not only is there no avoiding situations of this nature, what you learn while dealing with the matters in question will be valuable, and in many ways.

Taurus April 19 – May 19

Although every sign is influenced by the current New Moon, the fact it’s in your sign suggests it’s time to consider your priorities, to review what, and who, you’re putting first in your life. While you may not make changes right away, simply thinking these through will be amazingly illuminating.

Gemini May 20 – June 20

When you rethink plans, as you often do, it’s usually because you’ve either heard about intriguing new options or the actual circumstances you’re dealing with have changed. But now that review is being triggered by you own deep, and very powerful, questions about what truly is in your best interests.

Cancer June 21 – July 21

For ages you’ve been wrestling with issues as complex as they are provocative. In fact, rarely have there been such a range of views, mostly passionate, about what should be done. There’s no better time than the present to raise these, especially since the current New Moon will introduce innovative solutions.

Leo July 22 – August 21

While, as a fire sign, you can be both impulsive and impatient, there are certain changes you’ll battle, and on occasion, ferociously. Deep down, however you’ve been aware things can’t remain as they are. It’s just you’ve been unclear what to do next. It’s fortunate, therefore, things are proceeding without your input.

Virgo August 22 – September 21

By no means are you narrow minded. On the contrary, you’re interested in the activities of others and what’s going on in the world around you. Still, it would appear certain worthwhile ideas or opportunities slipped past you. Investigate these now, if only to ensure you’re up to date on the latest.

Libra September 22 – October 22

Although you’ve felt restless for a while, a range of obligations have devoured your time and attention. Now that they’ve been dealt with, or at least you’ve achieved some variety of control over them, you’ll be in a position to broaden your horizons. Better yet, you’ve some exciting things to explore.

Scorpio October 23 – November 21

Somebody seems determined to have the last word in a dispute that, until recently, you regarded as minor. The issue isn’t actually who says what, and when, but that the individual in question is a bit of a bully. In allowing them to say what they want, they’ll soon reveal their true character.

Sagittarius November 22 – December 20

There are few things you loathe more than those who’re heavy-handed in discussions or making plans. From your perspective, such matters really should be a joint effort. Yet now it’s you who needs to seize the reins. Others aren’t doing what they promised they would, which leaves everything up to you.

Capricorn December 21 – January 18

Change is of interest to you but you’re always wary of embracing new ideas or offers too swiftly. This is in part because you’re short of facts. But, also, once others are aware you’re intrigued, the balance of power changes. They longer you keep them wondering what you’ll do, the better.

Aquarius January 19 – February 17

Discussing balance is one thing. But maintaining a focus on various ongoing arrangements while exploring the new and intriguing ideas coming your way is something else entirely. Keeping up with the practicalities involved while venturing into new territory will be challenging but, as you’ll soon discover, will be well worth the effort.

Pisces February 18 – March 19

The time has come to be forthright, if not demanding. Over the past couple of months, you’ve noticed certain individuals have seemed to need space, and so you’ve backed off and given them exactly that. Now, however, you need to reconnect, and discuss increasingly pressing matters in detail.
