If it’s your birthday

If you make healing your top priority, many other facets of your life will come into focus. Healing what, exactly? Anything that has lingered around unresolved; any matter that needs attention; and in particular, how you relate to your spiritual and emotional needs. You are being called to go deeper into your selfunderstanding, and to be scrupulously honest with yourself. You share a birthday with Diana Rigg, Natalie Wood and Carlos Santana. MAY 21-JUNE 20 Unusual or unforeseen circumstances will work in your favor, so keep a positive attitude if things seem to go wrong. This is not merely about the silver lining of the cloud; it’s about the universe working in strange ways, which you might miss if you’re too attached to a plan. JULY 23-AUG. 22 Big changes appear to be on the horizon. Yet more to the point, you seem to want and need change, which is another way to say progress. And that’s what you’ll get; your momentum and motivation are building. It’s vitally important that you know what you want. Think carefully. AUG. 23-SEPT. 22 Now that you’ve cleared the haze around a work-related issue, you can move forward with an excellent idea. Your main selling point is that this concept or project has something for everyone. It will serve many purposes and, most of all, be a thing of beauty. Don’t be shy about it. SEPT. 23-OCT. 22 What is your highest potential? What the actual right thing for you to be doing? What if you were to forget the seeming limits and restrictions and choose what feels good, what you love, what you want? What would you do? Just allow yourself to consider that for one day. is OCT. 23-NOV. 21 If you’re going to take charge, do it in a subtle way. Channel any potentially bossy energy into being charming. Go entirely in the other direction. Stand in your confidence and take a brassy, selfassured attitude and be generous with praise and gratitude. Be open about how much you love life. NOV. 22-DEC. 21 You’re finally setting yourself free from an emotional entanglement or commitment that was not working for you. You don’t have to sever ties with anyone; you merely have to design the situation in a way that works for you, then check in and see if it works for others. It probably will. DEC. 22-JAN. 19 Authentic commitment is never imposed, and it’s never done out of duty. Commitment comes from the heart. In a sense, it chooses you more than you choose it. Yet you must have a co-creative role. Your relationships must be an openended adventure, not a scripted movie. JAN. 20-FEB. 18 At a certain point, you must let people and opportunities come to you. This can be a leap of faith, if you’re accustomed to chasing gigs and chasing people. Yet the tide does indeed turn, and you become an attractive force. Stop, take a deep breath, and feel your own magnetism. FEB. 19-MARCH 20 If you have shocking or brilliant idea, put it into action fast. Don’t wait for tomorrow -- begin to manifest it immediately. Give it life; give it tangible and substantial form. Then run with it. This is a rare opportunity to go the whole distance on something truly innovative. a
