Your HOROSCOPE
If it’s your birthday
To be happy in this world, it’s essential to address the whole matter of fear. That’s not easy, because there seems to be so much to be afraid of. Yet you are bigger than anything you might worry about; and as you know, anxiety is merely frustrated creative energy. Relief from fear comes when you find the appropriate ways to express yourself. There are many. You share a birthday with Dizzy Gillespie, Ursula Le Guin, and Carrie Fisher.
ARIES
MARCH 21-APRIL 19 Let out the old energy so that the new energy can enter. If something or someone has run its course, do the brave thing and don’t hold on. You don’t need to cast anyone off; rather, you do what is right for you, and they do what is right for them. You will be amazed how well this works.
TAURUS
APRIL 20-MAY 20 Today’s astrology emphasizes how a peaceful living space can support harmony at work or in the art studio, and vice versa. Having somewhere you can truly relax and be yourself is essential. Experiment with where you place furniture and other objects, and go for easy flow and a light feeling.
GEMINI
MAY 21-JUNE 20 If there’s some security issue that you know needs taking care of, now is the time. That might mean changing your passwords, collecting the key from someone who has moved out, or making sure valuables are safely stored. Follow your hunch and take modest, sensible precautions.
CANCER
JUNE 21-JULY 22 Your chart is still expressing itself in rare, magnificent ways, though today the theme of healing is added to celebration and creativity. The whole healing thing works best when it’s devoted to every person, every activity, and every thought or feeling that upsets you. Then, proceed with love and passion.
LEO
JULY 23-AUG. 22 A rather unusual door is open for you, which means that you can invite unusual experiences into your life. I’m talking about the kind that you really want, but might opt out of because you would need just a little more courage. Well, be bold, open your heart and say yes to what you want.
VIRGO
AUG. 23-SEPT. 22 One of your most vital lessons of this lifetime is loyalty. You must vow never to turn on someone you consider a friend, nor to betray their secrets. And if there is someone in your life who rises to the level of a devoted partner or servant, take every opportunity to express your gratitude.
LIBRA
SEPT. 23-OCT. 22 Mars is getting ready to enter your sign, which may have you feeling a little panicky. Slow down and think calmly. Is there anything you have to take care of? Anything past due? Any promise that you must keep? Go behind the current epidemic of paranoia, and be practical.
SCORPIO
OCT. 23-NOV. 21 With your ruling planet Mars about to change signs, and so many other factors working in your favor, it’s time to make some decisions about the changes you want in your life. You’ve already figured most of this out. Now it’s merely a matter of timing and having the gumption to take action.
SAGITTARIUS
NOV. 22-DEC. 21 Use your instincts and your intuition. They are two different things. Your instincts will guide you away from danger, and your intuition will guide you toward what is helpful and nourishing. You may experience some strong emotions, but that’s distinct from spiritual guidance.
CAPRICORN
DEC. 22-JAN. 19 Check whether any hesitation you may be feeling is really the anxiety of someone else — such as the lingering fear of a parent or grandparent. Most of the karma we drag around comes from those people, and the first step in letting it go is being aware of what’s happening.
AQUARIUS
JAN. 20-FEB. 18 For quite a while, the theme of your chart has been about focusing your mind, gathering information and figuring out what to do about it. By Monday morning, however, you will need to be ready with a basic, streamlined plan of action with three basic steps. Figure them out this weekend.
PISCES
FEB. 19-MARCH 20 In case you missed the memo, this is a reminder that for Pisces, your true religion is sex. This is more fulfilling when it includes such concepts as respect, kindness, and honoring the core of creation. Yet this, too, is natural for you. When in doubt, remember how you were called into the world.
