If it’s your birthday

You’re perched on the edge where you have a rather interesting view of life, and of yourself. Remember what it’s like where you are now. You may feel like you’re in transition, and like you have to live with more uncertainty than you would prefer — though the truth is, this is a rich moment where you can taste your true potential. It’s not just in your imagination. You share a birthday with Christy Brown, Laurie Anderson and Mark Wahlberg. JUNE 21-JULY 22 Mars entered your sign yesterday, which will put some thunder in your heart. It’s been a long spell of wondering what you need to do next, or for that matter, who you want to be. Mars rewards acting on your true desires. Be real about who and what you want, and make your move. JULY 23-AUG. 22 You may be feeling clearer about a deeply personal matter today than you were yesterday — and more certain of yourself. If that involves experiencing some anger, then so be it. Just don’t hold on to it or adopt it as a pet. Do something about it, forgive, or preferably, both. AUG. 23-SEPT. 22 Mercury, the Virgo planet, is about to make a beautiful aspect to Chiron, the planet of self-awareness. That’s as gentle as a wakeup call gets. While many people around you are wondering which way is up, you have your feet on the ground, your eyes are open and you’re taking confident steps. SEPT. 23-OCT. 22 You might think there’s no possible way that this week can be more fun or intriguing than the past few days, though guess again. The adventure has only begun, if you’ll drop your guard and loosen up a little. Most people don’t want to be as uptight as they claim to be. Lead the way. OCT. 23-NOV. 21 There are those days when you can’t explain why you’re so confident, and this is one of them. Even if you’re feeling a little uncertain, put on your favorite clothes, turn on your favorite playlist, and live this week the way you actually want to live. Prove to yourself that it’s possible. NOV. 22-DEC. 21 Someone close to you appears to have gone from noncommittal to totally, absolutely committed in the space of 24 hours. You might be thinking well, that’s nice. Be endearing and receptive — and see how things go over the next few days. You’ll find out if they really mean it. DEC. 22-JAN. 19 Finally the world seems ready to meet you on your own terms. You might actually encounter others who express what they want, which resonates exactly with what you want. But rather than signing a long-term contract, try a test project and see how the collaboration goes. JAN. 20-FEB. 18 If you’re questioning a relationship, go back to the origin of that encounter and remember how things started off. What were the circumstances of your meeting? Was everyone truthful, and did they keep their promises? That’s the most important indicator of the relationship’s potential. FEB. 19-MARCH 20 You might admit how important sex is to you, even if others are afraid to do so. It’s a basic and undeniable truth of life, though particularly for you. Consider your options, and consider who has a similar idea that human contact and passion are a primary reason they’re alive.
