If it’s your birthday

MYou can keep your positive emphasis on financial matters without jeopardizing your creativity, or your soul. It is not money that’s the problem, but the so-called love of money. It’s not really love. What you bring to the table is selfrespect; as well as respect for the energy that moves the universe, which ultimately flows through you, if not from you. You share a birthday with George Coleman, Carole Bayer Sager and James Van Der Beek. APRIL 20-MAY 20 There seems to be a deeply personal matter that you’re not saying much about, though which will benefit from a little airing out. Partners and loved ones are more understanding than you may imagine, because they care about you more than you typically admit or acknowledge. Take the chance and see. MAY 21-JUNE 20 Every aspect in your chart is encouraging you to get out among the people, and do your part to manifest your success. You’re not the home-body type, though these days it often takes dynamite to get people out of the house. Don’t be afraid to go offscript. Be a little brash and spontaneous. JUNE 21-JULY 22 With two of the brightest and friendliest planets transiting your house of profession and reputation, stand tall and shine bright. Assert your existence, and make sure that people in high places know how much you’re capable of, and how devoted you are. Bear in mind how unusual this is. JULY 23-AUG. 22 You’re starting to see beyond the limits that seemed to trap or discourage you. Much of success and happiness is being able to imagine the possibilities. That’s what you’re somehow able to do, and it’s about looking at the future with curiosity, rather than looking at the past with regret. AUG. 23-SEPT. 22 You are ready to explore new territory in your intimate relationships, which really means you’re investigating new spaces within yourself. Yet you will also discover that being close to someone, and trusting them, opens up another universe that’s simply not possible otherwise. SEPT. 23-OCT. 22 Mercury and your ruling planet Venus are making you visible to others. You’re also likely to be meeting people you find interesting and appealing. It will take time to establish whether any of these encounters are solid. Be patient; you will have a real clue in about two months. OCT. 23-NOV. 21 Jupiter in your sign continues to promise improvements and expansions in your life, though not necessarily through convenient means. To get where you’re going, you must work with surprise elements, discoveries, and the prevailing state of chaos in the world, rather than against these things. NOV. 22-DEC. 21 You can afford to assert yourself more strongly. Lean into what you’re doing rather than lean back. Make sure you experiment as you go along. And try to think two or three steps ahead of where you are now, while devoting yourself to it in your usual meaningful and dedicated way. DEC. 22-JAN. 19 Your best times will be spent at home this weekend, though stick your head out the door at least once. However, the message of your solar chart is to keep your intimate friends and loved ones near you, and to spend quiet time in private places, where you can actually have a conversation. JAN. 20-FEB. 18 How well you eat determines much of your quality of life. Your health, your weight, your attitude, your overall happiness: food is directly involved with all of these, like few things are. It may seem inconvenient to address it directly, but that’s one of the most convenient approaches you can take.
