If it’s your birthday

Saturn moving in your favor today means it’s time to get your act together financially. You need dependable sources of income, in activities you actually like and are paid adequately for. Your economic potential is linked directly to your self-esteem. You must like what you do, and also respect your precious time. Nothing less can be called independence. You share a birthday with Edith Piaf, Maurice White and Jake Gyllenhaal. MARCH 21-APRIL 19 You’re entering a time in your life where the primary emphasis is on your career. Yet you know that you don’t merely work for money. What you do every day must reflect your values, your integrity and, most of all, be fun and meaningful. Hold out for the right opportunities, and you’ll have them. APRIL 20-MAY 20 Saturn’s move into your fellow earth sign Capricorn will come as a relief. You will feel more grounded, and though certain issues may seem to be persisting, you’ll recognize that you’re standing on ground more solid than you thought. Respect your personal truth. That’s your foundation. MAY 21-JUNE 20 You know much more than you think you do. Keep reminding yourself of that. Then, pay attention and use what you know. This is particularly true with people; you always figure them out, then you forget to use the information. JUNE 21-JULY 22 Saturn has entered the partnership angle of your chart. The last time it arrived was back in 1988. If you were alive back then, you know it was a meaningful time in your life, when you started to make many positive changes. Set your agenda. That same power is back in your hands. JULY 23-AUG. 22 There’s an old expression: “Work is precious, so leave some for tomorrow.” You might follow that today, and not try to get everything done. Just get a few important things done, and you’ll feel a lot better. Take a creative approach rather than a labor-intensive one. One good idea can go a long way. AUG. 23-SEPT. 22 In evaluating a family circumstance, go back as many generations as you can. Consider the reality of your grandparents and great-grandparents, and tune in to the ways in which their situation influences your life today. You have a rare window into the past. Speak with any living ancestors that you can. SEPT. 23-OCT. 22 You may feel like you’re all alone in the world, though this isn’t true. However, you may need to take some time to yourself and reflect on recent events, and what they mean. It would be an excellent time to meditate on your desire to create a future that’s different from the past. OCT. 23-NOV. 21 You may have an unusually strong opinion about something, though that doesn’t make you right. Nor does it make you wrong. Rather than stating it as fact, perhaps express a deeply held belief in the form of a question, such as, “What do you think of this?” or, “I wonder whether this is true.” DEC. 22-JAN. 19 Saturn enters your sign today, which is your moment of truth or consequences. You must summon the courage to live your life in your way. Excuses are no longer functional. Letting other people make your decisions is no longer an option. You must become your own most revered authority. JAN. 20-FEB. 18 You may think you know yourself, though today, your ruling planet Saturn enters the angle of your chart associated with your deepest personal secrets. Among other things, this includes what you conceal from yourself. However, that will not last long. You will soon make many discoveries. FEB. 19-MARCH 20 Today Saturn changes signs, which represents an expansion of your mission in the world. You have worked hard to define your special niche, and now you must use every asset at your disposal to broaden your enterprises and get your message where it needs to be, or where you think it belongs.
