IF IT’S YOUR BIRTHDAY TODAY

Times are changing, and you owe it to yourself to explore certain recent, and unappealing, events or even offers. You may have written these off because of previous unrewarding situations. But that was the past, and times have changed. Take what seems a chance and you’ll benefit from this exciting, if often unpredictable, period. The more options you consider now, the easier it will be to turn those ideas into a lasting, and exciting, plan for the future.

Aries March 20 – April 19

Only days ago, you dreaded the thought of undoing certain longstanding arrangements. It’s not the changes needed but that you’d have to get others involved. And, inevitably, they’d want to discuss various options, which will devour time you could be putting to better use elsewhere. Still, you’ve no choice.

Taurus April 20 – May 20

There’s a difference between the variety of decisions you’re facing now and those you’ll be dealing with during the first half of February. Those you’re currently contending with are complex but not life-changing. However, those triggered by the coming eclipses will require a top to bottom rethink, nothing less.

Gemini May 21 – June 20

As a clever Gemini, you’ve a knack for getting around both difficult situations and, even more, the obstructive mood of others. Yet now, in one particular matter, even you are at a loss what to do or say. The answer is ‘nothing’. The individual in question has to work this out on their own.

Cancer June 21 – July 21

There are many ways to say the single word ‘no’. You’ve already tried the subtle versions that usually work but have been ignored. In this particular case you’ve no choice but to be blunt. Forget worries about upsetting the individual in question. Because they never listen to others, they’re used to it.

Leo July 22 – August 22

For ages you’ve sensed certain longstanding arrangements would benefit from a rethink but you had no idea where to begin. Now, suddenly, sudden and unexpected events are making the decision for you. Tempting as it is to put off dealing with these, you’re better off plunging in. You won’t regret it.

Virgo August 23 – September 22

Certain matters are pressing. But you’re short of facts, so have no idea how to tackle them. Obviously, you could seek advice but, for some reason, you have the impression you should already have this information. That is, quite simply, wrong. Others would be delighted to help, but you must ask.

Libra September 23 – October 22

True, intriguing new ideas are in the air. While this is very much the case, it’s too early to commit to a plan. Things aren’t just moving swiftly. Between now and mid-February, with eclipses triggering exciting changes and influencing this part of your chart, there’s lots more excitement yet to come.

Scorpio October 23 – November 21

After having dealt with a range of increasingly tricky issues, you both feel a sense of accomplishment and relief things are nearly dealt with. While it’s true, these are almost settled, the situations in question are still changing, and leading to shake-ups that will result in yet more crises.

Sagittarius November 22 – December 20

As a fire sign, having to wait for others to make decisions or for circumstances to change is incredibly aggravating. Yet one particular situation has forced you to keep a low profile, at least recently. Once the dynamic Mars moves into Sagittarius, on the 26th, things will change. Until then, try to be patient.

Capricorn December 21 – January 19

Four weeks ago the Sun, on 21 December, moved into your sign. This is nothing new. But the day before, your ruler Saturn also moved into Capricorn, for a stay of nearly three years, triggering a cycle of intense growth. You may already sense just how powerful and extensive it will be.

Aquarius January 20 – February 17

Be prepared for a cycle during which seemingly minor issues turn into major disagreements. That may be the last thing you’ll welcome. But the fact is, these have become an increasing source of concern, one that you’d like to see resolved. The twists and turns of the coming weeks should do the trick.

Pisces February 18 – March 19

As much as you’d like to get things organised, certain situations are in the midst of transition, which means even the simplest of plans won’t last long. Since you can’t ignore these, the trick is to make those plans, but ensure they’re flexible enough that, if necessary, you can rethink them.
