IF IT’S YOUR BIRTHDAY TODAY
Being frank about your feelings, if not just plain blunt, doesn’t come naturally to you, as a Pisces. You’re always aware of the potential for causing upset if not hurting the feelings of others. Yet, if that happens this, too, offers an opportunity to talk things over and, most important, to learn about others, how they think and even more, what they imagine you’re thinking and feeling. While this may be confusing at first, the process will be amazingly illuminating.
Aries March 20 – April 19
Judging by the coming week’s tricky planetary activity, especially that involving your ruler Mars, even seemingly straightforward arrangements won’t go as planned. Annoying as that’s likely to be in the short term, the resulting discussions and, even more, what you learn from them will more than justify a bit of aggravation.
Taurus April 20 – May 20
The time has come to stand your ground. The problem is, however, you may have your facts wrong. Still, discussions about the issue in question are going nowhere fast. If you take a strong position, it will encourage others to think things through and, finally, to air their views as well.
Gemini May 21 – June 20
Being told to rely on your instincts may seem strange. But the encounter between your ruler Mercury and the planet that accents exactly such matters, Neptune, indicates that your sense of what and who is worth pursuing, and what isn’t, is at a height. Waste no time on analysis. Trust those feelings.
Cancer June 21 – July 21
While some Cancerians enjoy a good battle, most would prefer to deal with issues in a more peaceable fashion. Still, even if you’re one of the latter, you’re probably beginning to recognise that one particular individual will respond only to an approach that’s forthright, if not just plain aggressive.
Leo July 22 – August 22
Certain individuals assume you’ll be happy with whatever they decide, so don’t bother to ask. Only those closest could possibly have any idea what you like, but they still ask. Tempting as it is to lose your temper, first, explain your feelings to the individual in question. They genuinely had no idea.
Virgo August 23 – September 22
It would be easy for differences between you and others to turn into a debate, and that debate into an out and out argument. But not only would that achieve little, you’re all short of facts. You’d be better off joining up to gather information that mean you’d both well informed.
Libra September 23 – October 22
There’s no way around it. Facts are facts and those you’re facing now mean rethinking and, as a result, reorganising arrangements you’ve struggled to make work. The real problem is certain combative individuals, who you fear will complicate everything. The secret, is to be even more combative. It’s out of character but the best option.
Scorpio October 23 – November 21
As a Scorpio, truth isn’t just crucial, being able to trust others is fundamental to any close relationship. It’s for this reason the unsettling, if not questionable, actions of one particular individual are causing you such distress. Uncomfortable as it is, ask them what happened. Their response will surprise and reassure you.
Sagittarius November 22 – December 20
The energy and enthusiasm that comes with the presence of Mars in your sign, until mid-March, brings kind of a high. But it can also lead to a variety of impatience that could result in hasty if not unwise decisions. Tempting as it is to move swiftly, double check the facts and reflect on your priorities in depth.
Capricorn December 21 – January 19
Your sense of timing is well known and highly respected. This has been honed by those experiences when you’ve allowed yourself to act in haste, only to regret being impulsive at leisure. But you can’t do anything about others. Just organise things so their impulsiveness can’t cause any lasting damage.
Aquarius January 20 – February 17
Somebody seems determined to introduce something, somebody or a new activity into your life. From your point of view, this is charming but also a bit irritating. You’ve always been perfectly good at dealing with such matters. Still, don’t brush this off. Their intentions are good and their ideas even better.
Pisces February 18 – March 19
The last thing you want is an argument. And, unfortunately, your potential adversary loves a good battle. Still, you can’t allow them to keep on voicing views based on their incorrect version of facts. Take a day or so to clarify your thinking, then say what needs to be said, and frankly.
