If it’s your birthday

Be careful not to make too many assumptions. Rather, find the courage to ask people where they are coming from, and have the courage to tell them your point of view. It’s only when people are working with a full set of facts that they can make honest and helpful decisions. This is rare to find; though, for you, it’s an essential element in your happiness. You share a birthday with Vivien Leigh, Art Garfunkel, and Bryan Adams. MARCH 21-APRIL 19 Ultimately, what is spiritual must also have a practical benefit. You’re in a rare position this week to work with the two, and to notice the relationship between them. Any ideas you accept as higher teaching must have an actual purpose. You may find the deepest truths in what is the most ordinary. APRIL 20-MAY 20 Pay close consideration to financial matters that come to your attention this week. You may find that they’re mingled with emotional material, and it will help if you sort that out by giving careful scrutiny to the facts and figures. Where money is concerned, there are very few matters of opinion. MAY 21-JUNE 20 Take today and slow down as much as a Gemini can in the modern world. Get some time to yourself and prepare mentally for the things you have to do this week. There will be interactions with influential people, collaborators and intimate partners. You will need your composure. JUNE 21-JULY 22 You might take the next 48 hours and consciously evaluate how you feel about an important matter that came to a head Friday or Saturday. You don’t need to rush this assessment; you owe it to yourself to take things one step at a time, and decide how to work events to your best advantage. JULY 23-AUG. 22 This would be a good day, or evening, to get out of the house and be among people. I would suggest somewhere quiet enough to have a conversation, and hear what people have to say without having them repeat it three times. You’ll feel better when you have some company. AUG. 23-SEPT. 22 Mercury, the Virgo planet, is about to change signs to Sagittarius, which will brighten up your outlook on life. Mostly, you will be reminded that you need other people less than you may think. Your happiness depends on yourself rather than on the actions and choices of others. SEPT. 23-OCT. 22 Mars is continuing its journey through your sign, which is a reminder to assert yourself. As the next week passes, you may need to do this whether you think people believe you or not. However, it would be wise to check in repeatedly with yourself and make sure your thoughts are on the right track. NOV. 22-DEC. 21 Don’t allow your fears to run away with you. Keep your perspective, and remember how little of what you’ve ever worried about has ever come true. Mercury is about to enter your sign, which is something that can be preceded by a little burst of anxiety. Just let it pass through you. DEC. 22-JAN. 19 Worry less about your image and more about substance. Spend less time talking, especially at work, and more time focusing on the task at hand. Pause social media for a few hours a day. You’ll guide your life through the week with far less effort and more opportunity to relax. JAN. 20-FEB. 18 Forget your doubts; you’ve made key decisions, and a new phase of your life is beginning. You’re about to go public with a plan you’ve been hatching. That’s a beautiful thing, because you’ll finally get a look at whether you’ve been on the right tack. But take your time making that assessment. FEB. 19-MARCH 20 As a Pisces, you tend to walk with one foot in the world of dreams. This could apply to your creative abilities, all of which are a bit dreamlike. But it also applies directly to your connection with the ‘other world’, which is especially strong right now. Information is coming through; listen carefully.
