If it’s your birthday

A magnificent New Moon on your birth anniversary is a reminder to wake up and face each day as a new experience. You’re bestowed with a rare gift of optimism that has deep roots in your life purpose. While you may wonder whether you’re really having an influence in the world, set those concerns aside, and strive to improve your immediate surroundings. You share a birthday with Ossie Davis, Steven Spielberg and Christina Aguilera. MARCH 21-APRIL 19 Too often, success is accounted to fate, to luck, or to privilege. For you, success is a matter of doing the right thing, and being willing to work at something long enough to figure out how to do it well. That will take patience, and reliance on your considerable knowledge and experience. APRIL 20-MAY 20 If you’re facing a persistent mystery in any part of your life, all you need to do is wait a few days and it will reveal itself. One thing is for sure: it won’t be what you think, which goes well with many things in your life not being what they seem. That will turn out to be good news. MAY 21-JUNE 20 Today’s New Moon in the relationship angle of your chart is inviting you to see your relationships a whole new way. One essential element of this is having a healthy relationship to the past — yours and everyone else’s. To sum that up: Never use anyone’s past history against them. Forgiveness is sanity. JUNE 21-JULY 22 Today is the day to start an important project. Just get the wheels turning. Don’t worry about your progress initially; all you need to do is shift the momentum in a positive direction, and it will dependably take hold. Mercury is still retrograde, though other factors are working in your favor. JULY 23-AUG. 22 Today’s New Moon in the most exciting angle of your solar chart is a reminder that you have but one life to live — so make the very most of it. You’re someone who takes your responsibilities seriously, though your inner child wants you to take play and adventure seriously, too. AUG. 23-SEPT. 22 Today’s New Moon in the home, family and security angle of your solar chart represents both an end and a beginning. In order to have one you must have the other. Take the time to bring something to completion, so that you can have a clear start on what must now begin. SEPT. 23-OCT. 22 People will repeat what you say; therefore, make sure what you say is true and, moreover, that you would not mind others hearing it. You have the power of blessing, which means that your kind words will spread confidence, faith and good vibes where they’re most needed. OCT. 23-NOV. 21 This week is the perfect time to conduct a financial review. If you have copies of your recent tax returns, take them out and study them. Look at your credit or debit card bill and notice your spending habits. Having accurate information is the first step on the way to making real changes. DEC. 22-JAN. 19 Tomorrow, your ruling planet Saturn enters your birth sign for the first time in decades. This is good news, because it will guide you to a total reconciliation with yourself. You are past the time when you can survive on idle dreams. The time for decisive action has finally arrived. JAN. 20-FEB. 18 Communication is of the essence. Most of the world’s problems could be resolved if people would only speak clearly, listen to one another, and engage in a reasoning process. This must begin on a one-to-one level right within your personal sphere. Give it a try and see what you learn. FEB. 19-MARCH 20 Today’s New Moon in the career and recognition angle of your solar chart is a reminder not just of how much potential you have, but also of how much you’ve accomplished in recent years. You must claim your victories, account for your achievements, and stand your full height in the world.
