If it’s your birthday

A spectacular New Moon on your birthday is encouraging you to live courageously, and to push your potential past any limits you think hold you back. At this stage in your life, all the old hang-ups and points of hesitation are gone. Step past them like they were never there, and teach yourself what life is all about. You don’t need certainty; you need adventure. You share a birthday with Ambrose Bierce, Mick Fleetwood and Tom Lister Jr. APRIL 20-MAY 20 You hit the jackpot today with some kind of discovery, revelation or decision that alters the course of your life. Cast aside any fear or uncertainty and step bravely into your new reality. You’re a person of extraordinary talent, and most of it is coming through your voice. If you can talk, you can sing. MAY 21-JUNE 20 You’ve got every reason to feel good about yourself, though self-esteem must come from a deeper place. It starts with the understanding that you belong in the world, regardless of how others may have treated you in the past. Then, as you test this idea, you will have experiences that prove it correct. JULY 23-AUG. 22 Turning your attention inward can bring many surprising discoveries. What you learn today may give you a clue about two things: One is anger, and the other is what may be motivating you to take action. You don’t need to do anything about these discoveries — merely remember them. AUG. 23-SEPT. 22 When you trust people, you can assert your desires. So if you find yourself holding back or afraid to say what you mean, check in with the trust level first. What are you concerned might happen? Who, exactly, do you have an issue with? Ponder these questions and you’ll have a breakthrough. SEPT. 23-OCT. 22 Point your ship forward and don’t look back. Over the past few days, certain events have been set into motion, and you’re the one in command of your vessel. Some things you learned from the past count for a lot. Some, you must utterly forget, and embrace what you know to be true. OCT. 23-NOV. 21 The combination of the Moon, Mercury, Mars and the Sun in your fellow water sign Cancer is urging you to expand your horizons. You might think you live in a big world, but how exactly do you know? If nothing around you is unfamiliar, you need a much bigger playground. NOV. 22-DEC. 21 Remember what you have to offer, though also remember to be open to receiving. On the emotional level, that’s probably the more challenging posture in today’s world, where we’re so accustomed to being taken from. Yet someone you care about is offering you the world. DEC. 22-JAN. 19 Real experiences come with deep feelings, which can seem strange and alien here in the digital age. Don’t worry, you will not blow a chip or burn out your power supply. You can afford to feel, and feel deeply. There’s a bold, passionate quality to this moment: embrace it joyfully. JAN. 20-FEB. 18 One positive development will lead to the next, though make a point of getting along with your colleagues and collaborators. You might avoid work on one particular project today, and immerse yourself in your favorite recreation. You will refill your well, and avoid conflict. FEB. 19-MARCH 20 There may be some tension between two priorities that you want to take up, as if you’re not sure which is the right one. Either way, you cannot lose — though make sure you do at least one of them rather than neither. Choose what’s calling you, and move in the direction of availability.
