If it’s your birthday

You’ve reached a get-serious moment in your life. It’s time to consider what you’re ready to commit to, and give it everything you’ve got. Be not afraid of obligations associated with your most-valued desires: you will have the support you need, if you offer your heart and soul to the cause. You’re not alone in your desire to succeed. You share a birthday with Hans Christian Andersen, Marvin Gaye and Emmylou Harris. APRIL 20-MAY 20 If you get the idea not to spend money on something, you can safely wait. Whatever you want will likely still be there tomorrow. Delays may be a message to spread the financial responsibility around everyone who will benefit from this project. It cannot hurt to ask. MAY 21-JUNE 20 It’s time to have an honest conversation with a partner about what you’re feeling. For too long, you’ve been subject to someone’s idea regarding their authority in your life. You want to get things onto level ground; though for that to happen, you must speak truth to power. JUNE 21-JULY 22 You need a rest; dial it back a little this week. If you’re working too hard to get a result, doing less is the probable solution. Rather than concerning yourself with the details, this is a good moment to reflect on your grand plan. Then your workdays will be easier JULY 23-AUG. 22 What seems to be a psychological or spiritual question is more of an emotional matter. What seems to be about money is probably about sex. These things often get confused. You’d be wise to keep an open mind. This will be like remembering something you already learned, but forgot. AUG. 23-SEPT. 22 Relationship matters need special care right now. Take the lead in setting the example that the role of partners is to care about and support one another. Love is not a matter of everyone for him or herself. Offer support when loved ones need help, and ask when you need it. SEPT. 23-OCT. 22 Love translates to trust and vulnerability. This has long been challenging for people to grasp, and it’s especially difficult today. You must be courageous and lead the way. You know that every moment of life is precious, and that people must not take one another for granted. OCT. 23-NOV. 21 Someone close to you is ready to let go of a blockage or conflict. That might hint that you’re ready to as well. Work on your own willingness rather than pushing or prodding anyone. On delicate emotional matters, people need to grow and heal in their own time. NOV. 22-DEC. 21 Recent events have reminded you what you love to do, rather than what you must do out of commitment or responsibility. This is an important contrast, and it’s often forgotten. You need a balance in your life, one that gradually tips toward your true purpose. DEC. 22-JAN. 19 Current aspects suggest that it’s time to express yourself more fully. You’re not the type to say too much, or reveal too much, though that only works so well. Any idea that your silence protects you is worth questioning. Self-expression in any form will feel liberating and healing. JAN. 20-FEB. 18 Your body may be telling you to spend time at home. Other aspects are drawing you out into group environments. If you do that too much you can start to forget who you are. Take a little time today, and this week, and make friends with your living room. FEB. 19-MARCH 20 Reach out to people you were close to recently. You may have let a friendship or love interest languish in all the hustle and bustle of the past month or two. You’ll be happy to speak to someone special and they will be just as happy to hear from you.
