If it’s your birthday

Work with the unexpected and the unpredictable. The world is wildly erratic lately; and if you set your mind to it, you will make this factor work for you. It’s going to work one way or the other, so get it on your side. Hang loose. Watch the dice as they tumble, talk to the people who mistakenly dial your number, and try random experiments. You share a birthday with Faye Dunaway, LL Cool J, and Dave Grohl. MARCH 21-APRIL 19 If you feel a wave of inspiration, surf it all the way to the shore. Whatever ideas come to you can be invested in existing projects, which may take on entirely new forms as the week develops. Be sure to get old commitments out of the way any chance you get. A new day is dawning. APRIL 20-MAY 20 If you need to vent some energy, today would be a fantastic day. Don’t stay bottled up in your mind, body or emotions. Give yourself a chance to go out of control in some creative or entertaining way. Then it’ll be a lot easier to make decisions from a relaxed and easygoing position. MAY 21-JUNE 20 You seem caught in a situation you don’t know how to handle, or how to extract yourself from. Keep your cool. It’s not as complicated as it seems. What creates confusion is when you struggle with fear and then overreact, or when a partner is volatile. Have any discussion far from alcohol. JUNE 21-JULY 22 You’re still catching up with bold developments in the relationship angle of your chart. These describe a rapidly evolving set of circumstances that will reshape your personal life. Notice the shifts that have occurred just in the past three weeks. Notice who shows up, and the improved quality of the conversation. JULY 23-AUG. 22 Events this week will encourage you to take a whole new approach to the work you do. You have a lot going on, and you must use tools like time management, organizational structure, and setting up complex projects in advance. Efficiency -- not overwork -- is the lever that you need. AUG. 23-SEPT. 22 Take the chance and initiate the conversation that you want to have with someone. Just say the first words and let it flow. Remember to come from a place of love and acceptance; you can do that, and someone needs your example. Asking questions gently will ease the way. SEPT. 23-OCT. 22 Maintain a sense of proportion around family and household matters. You’re in a position to help, and to be reassuring to others, though not if you go out of alignment. Recognize what actually impacts you and what does not. You’ll be more supportive doing less rather than doing more. OCT. 23-NOV. 21 To be happy, you must be devoted to yourself. This translates to knowing what matters the most to you, and honoring that. Pay careful attention to your thoughts this week. When something seems pressing, or like an urgent necessity, ask yourself whose priority it really is. It might not be yours. NOV. 22-DEC. 21 You may be looking at some kind of financial reorganization, which would be a wise move. Getting a handle on budgeting and cash flow is a high priority for you now; and if you honor that, you’ll be rewarded by greater prosperity. Work with the idea that money flows toward structure.
