If it’s your birthday

Your current heading is close to the direction you need to be going. You only have to make minor adjustments, based mostly on feeling than on some detailed thought process. The main thing you need to tweak is making sure that you have multiple sources of income rather than just one or two. You serve many purposes; this will be easier than you think. You share a birthday with James Cameron, Angela Bassett and Madonna. MARCH 21-APRIL 19 Offer yourself the courage to be different, to be daring, and to experiment. Most of all, have the guts and sense of adventure to go off script. Allow things to happen that you were not planning, and could not plan for. Invite a little chaos into your life, and set your mind free from expectations. APRIL 20-MAY 20 The next few days are building to a rad solar eclipse that’s going to lure you out of your comfort zone. You were made for this. It’s just that you need a bit more advanced preparation than most people, so I’m here a little early with your personal invitation to step over the threshold into a new reality. MAY 21-JUNE 20 The image of the current Mercury retrograde is burrowing back in time and having the opportunity to repair something that went wrong. Usually this is difficult or impossible, though there are times when you can recover a loss, mend a relationship or revise a decision. JUNE 21-JULY 22 You’re in an unusual position of leadership right now. This is described by the Moon, which is associated with your sign, about to make an eclipse to the Sun. Your influence starts with you and spreads to the world around you. Don’t act powerless about anything; you’re holding all the best cards. JULY 23-AUG. 22 You may be feeling a mix of big changes coming, and some uncertainty about the future. That would be a natural blend of emotions. Yet remind yourself that you have the strength and experience to make the most of your opportunities — and you have the support of your friends. AUG. 23-SEPT. 22 You can be far less rigid in how you define yourself. If you can alter a few stuck ideas about who you think you are, you’ll allow in many of the changes you want to make the very most. The notion of a “self-concept” should be as minimalist as possible. Your actual self is much more meaningful. SEPT. 23-OCT. 22 The time has arrived to come out of your shell. You may think you’re already out; or you may be certain that you would rather keep to yourself. Yet the rapidly approaching total solar eclipse in Leo clearly describes a kind of grand debutante ball, of which you are the star. OCT. 23-NOV. 21 Many people want power and influence. Then they often find they’re negotiating or wrangling over the smallest, most irrelevant matters in their relationships. Stop wasting your time on what does not serve anyone, and focus on doing what actually benefits yourself and others. NOV. 22-DEC. 21 Easy does it this week. You’ve been under some pressure to perform, excel or be disciplined, and now that has been letting go. You want to release it gently, rather than all at once. Notice what’s flowing out, and then observe what flows into the vacuum where the intensity has left. DEC. 22-JAN. 19 Take a chance and make sure you’re on the level with the people in your life. It’s easy to keep secrets, even knowing that, eventually, everything comes out. If there’s anything you have to say, say it now. If there’s anything you need to ask, put the question forward. JAN. 20-FEB. 18 Your life right now is a study in letting go of your stuck patterns, negative tendencies and thoughtforms you’ve outgrown. Part of why you want to do this is so you can have more wholesome and grounded relationships. But you’re really doing it so you can be happier. FEB. 19-MARCH 20 Important matters of both work and relationships are calling you, and you’ll need to find a balance. This is, of course, the story of life — and not just yours, though you’re in a good position to work out a method. It seems that one key is keeping the two together, rather than separating them.
