If it’s your birthday
Always remember that you’re born under an earth sign, which means you appreciate the earthy things in life. Or, said another way, what you want the most is what’s natural, handmade, homemade, and appeals to the cozy critter in you. Embrace this aspect of yourself and you’ll discover you feel better, you’re happier and your relationships are more fun. You share a birthday with Marianne Faithfull, Ted Danson and Mekhi Phifer. MARCH 21-APRIL 19 You are learning to connect your work to your personal worth to money. This is not a magic formula. It’s as ordinary and as worldly as they come. However, for it to work you must feel good about yourself. You must respect your own abilities and gifts, which is your primary task for the day. APRIL 20-MAY 20 If you woke up today with something irritating you, you’ll soon discover that it’s not such a big deal after all. Nobody has actual power over you, and if you think someone does, it’s time to address that belief. You are your own person, though only if you choose to live that truth. MAY 21-JUNE 20 Make an inventory of the tasks you must accomplish today, and set about doing them. Start with what cannot wait, and set aside anything that’s not time-sensitive. Aim to get things done early in the day rather than later, clean your desk, and start your weekend with a clear head. JUNE 21-JULY 22 You’re beginning the weekend on a high note and in a clear state of mind; if not, you can jump onto that frequency whenever you want. Don’t worry about the plans others have. Do what you want because it’s what you want to do. With the Full Moon approaching, don’t hold back. JULY 23-AUG. 22 You’re discovering a leadership style that works, and you need to remember what you’re learning. There’s plenty of positive momentum carrying you along, and that’s one clue. Another is: you can be bold about asking for what you need, and seeking the cooperation of partners and colleagues. AUG. 23-SEPT. 22 When making your New Year’s resolutions, you might think on the five-year plan. You have an unusual perspective right now, which includes a view of the future in several possible directions. You need new plans, not a revival of old ones. So much has changed in the past year, it’s truly amazing. SEPT. 23-OCT. 22 Try to keep money out of the picture. Test the theory that the best things in life are free. See if you can hang out someplace where cash is not being transacted, but rather where there’s an easygoing exchange of feelings, conversation, and food -- with nobody dropping a check on the table. OCT. 23-NOV. 21 Your ability to make contact with others today might surprise you. This will come in the form of being unusually articulate, and the ability to understand exactly what others mean. If you discover this is happening, get right to the point. Say what you mean, and take what you hear at face value. NOV. 22-DEC. 21 Do what you can to put your imagination into physical form. You’ve definitely got some ideas simmering in your heart and soul, and ideas want expression. There’s always something lost in translation and something else gained; a little experimentation will help you get it right. JAN. 20-FEB. 18 What seems like a challenging situation will be easier if you’re open about your personal truth. You cannot control others, and you’ll be happier if you let go of some of the control you’re trying to exert over yourself. Feel what you feel, and then say you’re feeling it. That will move some energy. FEB. 19-MARCH 20 Words are one of your most valuable assets. When you speak, people listen. So relax and open up to others. Say what you feel and notice where the conversation goes. You may be surprised how deep you can take things. Superficiality has finally reached its limit, at least in your world.
