If it’s your birthday
Today’s Sun-Jupiter meeting in your birth sign, on your birthday, describes the truly astonishing potential you possess. Yet it will be up to you to make that potential into something real. Put all your passion, energy and love into everything that you do — in particular, emphasizing one talent that you want to develop. Practice every single day. You share a birthday with James Pickens Jr., Rita Wilson and Seth MacFarlane. MARCH 21-APRIL 19 Be gentle when using your power. Temper your feelings and don’t devour or destroy anyone. People will be responsive to your feelings if you open up and are responsive to them. This counts for professional encounters, in family matters, and in your most private and personal life. APRIL 20-MAY 20 People who connect on the soul level may not get along on the ego level. They may seem to have little in common, and be of vastly different ages and lifestyles. Someone in your life fulfills this description. Honor this relationship, and learn as much as you possibly can. It’s a rare gem. MAY 21-JUNE 20 Today’s astrology is calling you to focus on one specific partner or love interest. This may involve a deep matter, something that’s not easy to speak openly about, which makes you the perfect person. The most important thing you can do is listen with an open heart and your flexible mind. JUNE 21-JULY 22 That old song says two is the loneliest number after one, which means that sometimes you can be in a relationship and not have a sense of companionship. You may need the time to collect your thoughts, as may a partner. Take that time and space, then notice how you feel tomorrow. JULY 23-AUG. 22 Today’s stunning SunJupiter conjunction is saying it’s time to take better care of yourself. You’ve probably been getting hints and clues recently. This is not merely about feeling good; it’s about making sure your life is structured in a way that honors your basic needs such as rest and self-care. AUG. 23-SEPT. 22 You can take some pressure off a relationship today by using a rare opportunity to be open and honest. Yet the most important thing you can do, rather than speak, is to listen with an open heart and mind. Start by asking someone you care about how they’re doing today. SEPT. 23-OCT. 22 Many factors are conspiring to support your goals and your ideals. Yet it’s essential that you not take a close partner’s assistance for granted. Be mindful of your inner attitude and your outer expression. Be flexible and forgiving, and take the time to openly state your gratitude. NOV. 22-DEC. 21 You may discover that you have a special advantage today, though don’t broadcast it on all your social networks. This is the kind of thing you might discuss with just one person, if it’s appropriate. Keep your energy focused and concentrated. Take care of your most important priorities. DEC. 22-JAN. 19 Today’s Moon-Pluto conjunction and other aspects may come with the feeling that it’s you against the world. Yet that’s not true. However, you do have an inner life: a world that you contain, and that only you can access. Remember that, and follow the invitation. You are your own best friend. JAN. 20-FEB. 18 If you have any success today or accomplish something meaningful, make sure you give credit to everyone who assisted you. Casually say that you could not have done it without the help of others, even if they didn’t contribute much. If nothing else, this will encourage people to work together. FEB. 19-MARCH 20 Today’s conjunction of the Scorpio Sun and the Pisces planet Jupiter is encouraging you to consider the great possibilities for your life. Don’t worry about your limits. Don’t bother yourself with what you’ve deemed impossible in the past. Open your eyes and your heart, and you will glimpse the future.
