If it’s your birthday

The Libra planet Venus enters your sign on your birth anniversary, which is a reminder that you can only be who you truly are. You might take as your motto, “I am the one I want to be,” and strive to understand, connect to and express yourself in every way. As you proceed, you’ll have the feeling of unraveling a mystery and gaining confidence at the same time. You share a birthday with e e cummings, Roger Moore, and Karyn White. MARCH 21-APRIL 19 Venus enters your birth sign today, which is a reminder to associate only with people who you know genuinely care about you. You have no need for frenemies; only genuine friends who can, at times, even put your interests over theirs. Remember: love is gentle, and friendship is strong. APRIL 20-MAY 20 You know there’s much more you can do to enhance your health and wellbeing, and you now have the incentive to do it. Proper rest will get you far. Finding that delicate balance between work and play will also help, though taking care of an important project will count for both. MAY 21-JUNE 20 Current movements of both Venus and Jupiter are revealing you to be an unstoppable creative force. That could apply to the work you do, or it could apply to the way that you relate to others. As one born under the sign of the twins, you are a superlative lover, so let your love shine. JUNE 21-JULY 22 This planet is not an easy place to have fun and be a responsible person. Most of the fun seems to be stacked in the direction of being reckless, which is not your style. Yet Jupiter in Scorpio, perhaps the sweetest part of your chart, is saying you simply must celebrate life. JULY 23-AUG. 22 Allow yourself to act on one vision you have for your future. Choose one place on your list and make plans to go there, or one professional goal and take some tangible step toward making it real. When times are strange, there’s also an opening created, where unusually positive things can manifest. AUG. 23-SEPT. 22 Venus changing signs from Virgo to Libra will remind you that action makes more sense than worrying. You’ll find it easier to make decisions, if you remember to decide in the direction of what’s actually good for you. And if that’s true, it will usually work out to be helpful to others too. OCT. 23-NOV. 21 Your ruling planet Mars is working its way toward an opposition to the meaningful planet Chiron, which is about healing. If you find yourself encountering any conflicts over the next 48 hours, let those issues bubble up to the surface and do what you can to make the world a better place. NOV. 22-DEC. 21 Today Venus enters the angle of your chart associated with deep friendship, your highest ideals and the way you relate to whatever you consider the public. This is a stark reminder to keep your message and your outlook positive, and to see the very best in people, even if some annoy you a little. DEC. 22-JAN. 19 Today Venus crosses the midheaven angle of your chart, which puts you in a position of visibility and even honor. Yet the proper posture is to understate your influence, and emphasize your sense of responsibility. As a great poet wrote, your job is to shed light and not to master. JAN. 20-FEB. 18 You may have the right answer or know the truth about something, though several important facts have yet to come out. Therefore, before taking any action, figure out what those are. Some unusual or surprising developments over the next day or so will shake out the information you need. FEB. 19-MARCH 20 Jupiter, the Pisces planet and the one associated with knowledge and wisdom, is now working its way across your fellow water sign Scorpio. This will refresh your spiritual path, and deepen your devotion to life and the universe. And that, in turn, will grant you incomparable gifts.
