If it’s your birthday

MMercury enters your sign on the anniversary of your birth, which is saying it’s time to speak the truth of who you are. As a Libra, you are born with a natural gift for diplomacy, and a good supply of social lubrication. You will still have those resources available when you dare to speak directly, without hesitation, of what matters to you the most. You share a birthday with Elie Wiesel, Marion Cotillard, and T-Pain. MARCH 21-APRIL 19 You don’t need the approval of others. What you need is to relate to the community around you on your terms rather than theirs. Anyway, there is no ‘theirs’, as each individual has his or her own sense of appropriateness. All you can really do is be you, and let the confetti fly. APRIL 20-MAY 20 It may take you a few days to decide whether you’re being honest with yourself, and whether others are being honest with you. That’s okay, because the truth reveals itself in its own way and in its own time. Yet be cautious if you find yourself actively in denial of something. MAY 21-JUNE 20 How do you know if you really feel the way you think you feel? Well, if you have to ask, then it would be healthy to take some time and see if what you’re observing now is still true in a day, a week and a month. Time is a dependable measure, if you’re paying attention. JUNE 21-JULY 22 Proceed with a spirit of collaboration, based on the idea that we’re all in this together. Whatever you want to accomplish, it’ll be easier with help; so make a few phone calls and see who you can recruit to the cause. Mingle work with some kind of social event later, for maximum effect. JULY 23-AUG. 22 On many accounts, your astrology is describing your success in attaining a new depth of self-respect. This is not just an idea. It’s about tapping into strength within yourself that you can always have access to. One key to this strength is practicing sincerity in all that you say and do. AUG. 23-SEPT. 22 Venus and Mars remain in your birth sign, making this one of the most productive and exciting times of the year for you. You’re a person of many talents, and you can succeed at anything you choose. The key, though, is to select something you’re genuinely passionate about. OCT. 23-NOV. 21 Your solar chart is so powerful at the moment, it’s a wonder you can even sleep for an hour. It’s like you’re experiencing 12 full moons all at once. However, try to catch a few winks of sleep, and write down your dreams. There’s some fantastic cinema playing on the astral plane. NOV. 22-DEC. 21 This moment has been a long time coming. It’s not easy to move energy on our planet at this time, or rather there’s so much already moving that nothing seems to matter. What you are doing does indeed matter, and you’re likely to know it. Don’t worry about the final result. Stick to the task at hand. DEC. 22-JAN. 19 Mercury has entered the success and reputation angle of your chart, and you’re likely to be getting the attention of people in a position to help you succeed. Remember, though, that you must be accountable for your words and for your actions. And you must stay on message. JAN. 20-FEB. 18 The Moon now in your sign, and Mercury newly in Libra, are offering you a fresh perspective on life. It’s worth holding out and not giving in to fear in any form. It’s worth adopting an optimistic point of view, especially when it comes to your own choices. Currently, positive options abound. FEB. 19-MARCH 20 Make sure any relationship you’re in is in harmony with the wider purpose you’ve set for your life. Not everyone is as generous as you are, though you know the power of sharing. You might consciously be more open to receiving, which will make it easier for others to give.
