If it’s your birthday

Normally you would rather not have your space crowded, though it’s time to acknowledge that you need some loving contact with your fellow creatures. That will mean more closeness than you’re accustomed to. If you think this will shape up your life, even a little, you’re correct. When intimacy is offered to you, you’ll be happiest if you go toward it and not away. You share a birthday with Ira Gershwin, Linda Creed and Ryan White. MARCH 21-APRIL 19 Things sure have been exciting lately. Recent developments seem to have turned certain plans on their ear. However, these developments will work to your advantage in the end, because once you re-think your situation, you will see that you needed a better design scheme, and better timing. APRIL 20-MAY 20 Be flexible about agreements. Taurus is a fixed sign, which means you sometimes cling to structure for a sense of stability. Yet you’re now in territory requiring you to be negotiable, and to toss the ball back and forth lightly. The right question is more meaningful than the answer. MAY 21-JUNE 20 Proceed with the utmost care in all of your relationships: your partner, your colleagues, your boss, your family, and the person who cleans the lobby of your building. Everything is in a state of delicate balance and you must step lightly where you tread. Seek understanding first, above all else. JUNE 21-JULY 22 Today you can see the world from every direction at once. That will be an excellent advantage to have, and will put you in a position of leadership. You can take everyone’s views under consideration, and actually make a decision that serves the best interests of everyone who’s involved. JULY 23-AUG. 22 Don’t fall for being a frustrated artist, a frustrated lover, or a frustrated anything. You are bigger than your circumstances; you’re bigger than your mind. Everything you see around you, and feel within you, is a resource; and you must use it as such, if you want to accomplish anything. AUG. 23-SEPT. 22 You need quiet time to reflect on what’s happening in your family or household environment. You are learning a lot, and you must process this information. Conversations with select relatives, particularly those older than you, will be helpful. Take your time and assemble the puzzle. SEPT. 23-OCT. 22 You have a lot to say right now, and remember: what you speak or write, you’re likely to revise. So don’t be too certain of yourself; leave yourself room to be wrong, and be grateful when additional information comes in. Be careful what you publish, because nobody reads the corrections. OCT. 23-NOV. 21 Lately, your life seems to be an exercise in what you cannot have. Yet you’ve also seen what you can do without, and can sort out the difference between a want and a need. With that information, it will be easier to set priorities. Make sure you include a few desires among your necessities. DEC. 22-JAN. 19 Remember well all the fuss and fury of these last weeks before Saturn enters your sign. Remember what you were thinking when you were up at night: what you were worried about, what you wanted, what you didn’t understand. It will all disappear like smoke on Dec. 19. JAN. 20-FEB. 18 Rare aspects associated with your ruling planet Saturn may have you worried about your place in society. Yet, over the past few years, you’ve done an excellent job carving out a niche for yourself. Mind your integrity at all times, do your best work, and be helpful. This astrology will work for you. FEB. 19-MARCH 20 The planets have been on fire lately, pushing all limits. Nearly all of this movement has been in Sagittarius, your house of career, achievement and reputation. You have been busy, so busy that you may not be able to keep track of things. Slow down a little, and notice what you’re accomplishing.
