If it’s your birthday

One characteristic of your life is that you often seem to be in transition from one state of existence to another. Yet if you’re in motion now, it’s toward a more solid and stable state of being, where you have access to a measure of self-respect that will help you guide your way through life. Focusing on this will pay you back many times over. You share a birthday with Catherine Deneuve, Shaggy, and Spike Jonze. MARCH 21-APRIL 19 You’ve no doubt noticed a change in your relationships in recent weeks: perhaps deeper emotional contact, taking greater interest in partners or love interests, and better sex. As the Sun moves from Libra to Scorpio overnight, you will be invited to go even deeper. Go with an open heart. APRIL 20-MAY 20 Though Taurus is one of the most determined and committed signs of the zodiac, the truth is that you’re a free spirit. You know this, though you’re also willing to keep your promises, and show up when things are difficult. For the next couple of days, give yourself extra space to roam. MAY 21-JUNE 20 You’re about to experience a shift that puts you into creative overdrive. You don’t need to be an artist or Broadway actor to make the best use of this. Many facets of your life will benefit from the originality, energy and sense of play that’s currently flooding into your chart, and your heart. JUNE 21-JULY 22 This week, the Sun joins Jupiter and Mercury in Scorpio. Simply stated, this is the rising tide that will float all your ships. Whatever you’re into -- art or partying or sex or saving the world -- this will be a rich and productive time. Commit to solving your problems, and doing your very best work. JULY 23-AUG. 22 The planets are aligning in the domestic angle of your chart -- the one about making a home, taking care of your family, and feeling good in your space. Start with taking care of yourself. Take this opportunity to spend some time alone, to get some rest, and to make your living space beautiful. AUG. 23-SEPT. 22 Mars leaves your sign today, after being with you for more than six weeks. You’ll find it easier to get along with people, and easier to be agreeable with yourself. And Mars moving into Libra will motivate you to make some extra money, though make sure you don’t spend it all now. OCT. 23-NOV. 21 The Sun enters your sign Monday; and when it does, you’ll discover how good your life is. Everyone has problems; yours are the kind that can actually be solved. Get ready to let them go and invite better things into your life. Some interesting people will be showing up as well. NOV. 22-DEC. 21 Planets are changing signs one after the next, with the Moon newly in Sagittarius emphasizing the point. The way this manifests for you is momentum. A beautiful blend of Mars and your ruling planet Jupiter will push you forward like wind at your back, with a swift current beneath you. DEC. 22-JAN. 19 Mighty forces are at work in your life, and the planets (and your astrologer) are advising you to make the most of the aspects that are developing. The most important thing you can do for yourself is choose your most cherished goal, and orient on it with focus and determination. JAN. 20-FEB. 18 Planets are stacking up in the career angle of your chart. Overnight, the Sun joins Jupiter and Mercury in Scorpio. You are feeling driven in a way that you haven’t felt in a long time. Remember to use your mind. You cannot think with your emotions, though your intuition is running high. FEB. 19-MARCH 20 Planetary transits are coming like buses -- hardly any for a while, and now they’re showing up all at once. While you can only ride one bus at a time, you can ride on many planets, and this will be livening up your life. Take the time to spot the opportunities you might otherwise miss.
