If it’s your birthday

You are rapidly becoming a new person, though don’t keep that under wraps. Go out and be yourself; that is, your new self. Practice will make perfect. Part of what you’re learning is how to handle anger. Here’s a suggestion: If you feel angry, tap into its power, take action and rearrange your priorities. You have the power of decision. You share a birthday with Dane Rudhyar, Chaka Khan and Mo Farah. MARCH 21-APRIL 19 You seem unsure whether to be hopeful or apprehensive about the future. Over the next few days, the pace and the frequency of your life, and of new meetings, will increase. Take developments one day at a time, making the best choices you can make in any moment. JULY 23-AUG. 22 Be especially aware of what you say in group situations, whether formal meetings or lunchtime chatter. Keep it positive, and save sharing your ideas for the appropriate time and place. Maintain spin control. Your words could easily be turned into gossip, which will not work in your favor. AUG. 23-SEPT. 22 Over the next few days, an old business partner or creative collaborator may show up on the radar. There’s often a question whether old partnerships can be revived. They can, if you stay in the moment, and treat them with the care and respect of something (or someone) new. SEPT. 23-OCT. 22 There seem to be an unusual number of people around you, and too many conversations to keep track of. You can afford to go with the flow and not worry about what people are saying; anything truly relevant, you’ll hear about. Love is in the air — pace yourself and have fun. OCT. 23-NOV. 21 One of the most important life skills is learning how to prevent unresolved family issues from infiltrating your relationships. This can really take practice, and you’ll likely get some this week. If you’re feeling strongly about something, make sure you direct it at the right person. NOV. 22-DEC. 21 It’s a good idea to let complaints or grievances rest overnight before you take action. Rather than firing off a memo giving someone a piece of your mind, set the matter aside and take care of more important things. It really can wait, and tomorrow you might decide it was irrelevant. DEC. 22-JAN. 19 Ask yourself whether you’re thinking for yourself, or whether you’re letting someone think for you — especially on a financial matter. If you didn’t care about anyone else’s opinion and were motivated by your own priorities, what would you do? That’s probably the right thing. JAN. 20-FEB. 18 If something has been bothering you for a while, now might be the time to make a decision. You’ll know it’s a mature decision because, rather than feeling annoyed or upset, you can calmly admit this to yourself. That’s the correct state of mind to consider your options. FEB. 19-MARCH 20 Writing makes great therapy. If you’re figuring out a mysterious issue, deciphering a dream or trying to understand something in your past, find a pen and paper. The texture and contemplative quality of writing on a physical object will do you wonders. Nobody has to read it but you.
