If it’s your birthday

Happy birthday, intimate spirit! You were born to connect deeply, through your work and communications, and your gift of fantastic insight furthers us all. Your karmic lesson is to allow it to further yourself, and following an emotionally difficult childhood, finding your true mate is bliss. You share your birthday with several of those who’ve touched us most profoundly: Alan Rickman, David Foster Wallace, Nina Simone, Anais Nin. And alive, still fighting for humanity: John Lewis and Ellen Page. In 2017, cementing career is challenging; cementing resources with others, easy, and you’ll enjoy financial windfalls, intense loving and successful explorations! MARCH 21-APRIL 19 With Venus, Mars and Uranus all in Aries, there’s a lot going on for you! Today may find you heading in personality directions you haven’t indulged in a while, or didn’t realize were a part of you. You will feel almost simultaneously compromising, energetic and completely unconventional. Indulge the new you! APRIL 20-MAY 20 The security you value so much isn’t so tangible today, leaving you feeling like a hanging chad. This unsteady feeling has been lurking in the background, but today it gurgles to the surface, throwing you off your game. Sit back, and use the down time to reflect on useful ways to pursue future goals. MAY 21-JUNE 20 You would do well to consider what you might or could start to do about raising your social awareness. Being curious and enjoying the company of others, go out and see what people are doing in the way of change and improvement. During these intensely political times, put your energies to good use. JUNE 21-JULY 22 You really want to be recognized, or at least acknowledged for the things you are good at. This is something which you’ve been ruminating about for a while, and often sidestepping, but now you’ve got the confidence to push yourself into the spotlight. An older colleague will help show you the way. JULY 23-AUG. 22 If you’ve recently set new ideas about your future, after carefully contemplating values which you’ve put a good deal of energy into, be prepared for the possibility of starting over again. Although you thought they were set in stone, that curveball just gets thrown at us from time to time. AUG. 23-SEPT. 22 With so many planets in the area of your chart associated with hidden mysteries, things should be getting rather steamy about now. You really want to get to know someone on an entirely deeper level, and are willing to go wherever they take you. So, sit back, relax and enjoy the ride! SEPT. 23-OCT. 22 Venus, Mars, and Uranus are all affecting your partnerships now. As yours is “the balanced” sign, you well understand how to sort things out between people. In fact, you may well be seeking relationship advice from someone other than yourself, wanting to make sure you don’t make a decision based solely on an emotional response. OCT. 23-NOV. 21 You would really like to have the same control over your home front that you have managed to create at work. You have worked hard to create a productive environment with coworkers, where your efforts are well-respected. Perhaps some of the wonderful systems you’ve developed could be incorporated into your domestic routine? NOV. 22-DEC. 21 You really just want to slack off and have a good time today, either interacting with friends or playing games; there are just too many diversions lurking. It’s hard facing that day-to-day routine. Try to manage a more creative approach, which also involves a fun way to approach your least favorite task. DEC. 22-JAN. 19 You wouldn’t mind zipping up into a cocoon right now. You’d actually shirk being the responsible one just to have time with yourself, just to touch base with the solid foundation you stand upon. It all seems to be changing, so indulge yourself, and take time for another look before letting something further go. FEB. 19-MARCH 20 The value you place on certain things has been changing lately. Financial security is on your mind a great deal lately, and there have been some interesting ideas concerning how to better manage it. Make certain that you’ve considered all aspects of potential investments you’ve been asked to make.
