IF IT’S YOUR BIRTHDAY TODAY

As an Aquarian, discussing the world around you and, equally, in meeting the people is a joy. More than for any other sign. Yet, despite that, you either sidestep certain topics or refuse to acknowledge your views or feelings, possibly because in the past these proved worryingly controversial or even unacceptable. Now, however, it’s vital that you not only express these, but that you do so with clarity. It’s far more important for you than you realise.

Aries March 20 – April 19

This is an exciting time for you. As an inquisitive Aries, even if what you’re doing is rewarding, you’ll get restless. You need to learn or experience something new. Now that your ruler Mars has moved to accent such matters, you can expect a range of intriguing developments to come your way.

Taurus April 20 – May 20

The closer you are to the first of the current pair of eclipses, the more you’ll find that even simple plans need to be rethought, and probably often. While that could seem a nuisance, it’s also an opportunity to try out new ideas or arrangements, and without having to make a commitment.

Gemini May 21 – June 20

Judging by the current powerful planetary focus on financial or business matters, especially of a joint nature, you’ve a lot of facts to sort out and as many issues to address. While some are straightforward, others will take time and, in some cases, patience to deal with. Still, these simply can’t wait.

Cancer June 21 – July 21

Every Cancerian benefits from a deep sensitivity, and while some born under your sign cover it up, it’s still there. And at the moment it’s telling you certain individuals are struggling with unsettling events. Discuss this if you must but, be wary of giving advice. Do that, and you’ll soon be shouldering others’ problems.

Leo July 22 – August 22

Ordinarily you’d be annoyed by certain last minute changes, and would complain loud and clear. In this case, however, once you do a little investigation, you’ll realise these aren’t just in your best interests, they’ll lead to timely breakthroughs. The confusion? It’s because these are different from those you’d anticipated.

Virgo August 23 – September 22

As an earth sign, you’ve an amazing ability to view even the most complex of situations from a practical angle. So much so, you’re sometimes shocked when you discover how little attention others pay to such matters. In fact, it hasn’t occurred to certain individuals to ask the sort of questions you have.

Libra September 23 – October 22

One of the most difficult things for a Libra to say is the single word ‘no’. While you have a wide range of diplomatic ways to indicate your lack of interest of even displeasure at certain ideas, offers or plans, not everybody will understand what you mean. The solution is say ‘no’.

Scorpio October 23 – November 21

While you’ve learnt a lot over the period since early December, when impetuous Mars moved into Scorpio, you’ve often found yourself in unexpected, if not unsettling, circumstances. Challenging as these seemed at the time, look back on them and you’ll realise how much you learnt then, and how beneficial those insights are now.

Sagittarius November 22 – December 20

When you made certain plans ages ago, your life was different and so was the world around you. But you’ve never really rethought those arrangements. Now you must. In fact, with the planet of ego and action, Mars, moving into Sagittarius, what you learn from this review could reveal life-changing facts.

Capricorn December 21 – January 19

One particular individual has a talent for causing upset or being annoying. For you, it’s the latter. While, mostly, you’re able to avoid the individual in question, at the moment that’s impossible. Tempting as it is to talk things through, it’s unlikely to be rewarding. In fact, the odds are good you’d soon regret it.

Aquarius January 20 – February 17

Of course life is easier if you can make a plan and stick to it. But with powerful planetary activity in your sign both raising questions about longstanding arrangements and forcing everybody to rethink priorities for the future, the more flexible your thinking, the better prepared you’ll be for what’s next.

Pisces February 18 – March 19

The last thing you want to do is accuse anybody of wrongdoing. One or two individuals know that, and take advantage of it. While usually their manoeuvres are annoying more than anything else, what they’re up to could cost you a great deal, in terms of time, money or even your reputation.
