IF IT’S YOUR BIRTHDAY TODAY
You’re by no means a control freak. Yet in most situations others expect you to take charge, and you do. Until now. Judging by your birthday chart, there are several situations in which you’ll have to either share the responsibility with others or, which is more likely, simply hand the reins over to them. Unsettling, if not difficult, as this will be initially, you’ll soon be relieved you’re no longer shouldering the burden for those plans, alliances or decisions.
Aries (March 20 – April 18)
In late May your ruler Mars moved to accent joint ventures in general, and finance and business in particular. While you’ve dealt with and learnt a great deal, it hasn’t exactly been fun. Pleased as you’ll be when it departs, next week, tackle those few remaining tasks now, while you can.
Taurus (April 19 – May 19)
The biggest challenge you face won’t be this week’s setbacks, which will be frequent but minor. It will be the temptation to try to overcome them when, in reality, many are only revealing that certain arrangements need to come to a conclusion anyway. Simply be observant, and you’ll discover why.
Gemini (May 20 – June 19)
There’s a difference between discussing decisions, which you’ve been doing a lot of, and making them. Every time you’ve tried to settle on a plan, a shift in the circumstances involved or in your own perspective has meant rethinking things. That’s best. It’s unlikely you’ll make any lasting arrangements until early August.
Cancer (June 20 – July 21)
The recent Full Moon was last Tuesday, but because it brought certain relationship issues to a head, you’re still dealing with the fallout. The resulting discussions will be unsettling and, often, dismaying. Still, you’re finally recognising just how much progress is being made. These are, in fact, clearing the air.
Leo (July 22 – August 21)
Being a fire sign, you rather enjoy last minute changes in plan. Or you do if they don’t upset arrangements you’ve worked hard to organise. While this is what you’re facing, explore what they have to offer. What you learn could convince you the results justify a bit of disruption.
Virgo (August 22 – September 21)
Clear-cut as certain situations seem to you, others are either uneasy about discussing these matters or have already made unwise decisions. Whatever the case, you’re urged to adopt an exceedingly tactful approach. This requires patience but, in taking it slowly, you should be able to avoid time consuming dramas.
Libra (September 22 – October 21)
Hopefully by now you’ve realised that the series of disappointments you have been, and will continue to experience this week, are about decluttering your life. For ages you’ve been shoring up certain arrangements and alliances when, deep down, you knew that eventually they’d have to go. That time has come.
Scorpio (October 22 – November 20)
It would be no surprise if you are still benefitting from late June’s link between Jupiter and your ruler Pluto. It’s rare any planetary alignment has such a lasting influence. But, ironically, you’re only now recognising that what seemed a disaster then was actually a badly needed breakthrough, if not change.
Sagittarius (November 21 – December 20)
In late May the usually forthright Mars moved into the most strategic portion of your chart. This began a cycle that was about examining the past, and looking within, and in a completely unaccustomed manner. Despite that, what you’ve learnt hasn’t just been informative, the resulting insights have changed your life.
Capricorn (December 21 – January 19)
If you’re feeling oddly unsettled, it’s no surprise. The recent Capricorn Full Moon both brought a number of issues to a head and stirred feelings you were unaware of. Tempting as it is to dismiss these, it’s worth delving into them. What you learn will provide valuable insights, now and in the future.
Aquarius (January 20 – February 18)
Sometimes setbacks are exactly that, no more than minor obstacles. But those you’re currently facing are calling your attention to changes in circumstances that will, in turn, force you to rethink other arrangements and, perhaps, long term plans. Disruptive as this is, you’ll soon realise how timely the resulting review is.
Pisces (February 19 – March 19)
Waste no time trying to figure out where certain plans went wrong. While that information will come to light eventually, for now you’re better off learning to ignore matters of this nature. Being a perfectionist, it isn’t easy. Stop worrying about getting it right and, bizarrely, things will simply fall into place.
