If it’s your birthday

You simply must find an outlet for your energy, in whatever form it takes. There’s no holding you back, so the best thing you can do is open up your vents, untether your emotional bindings, and set yourself free to be the person you are. This will result in sudden movement in all facets of your life, more or less at once — a point of no return. You share a birthday with Stephen Sondheim, Keegan-Michael Key and Reese Witherspoon. SEPT. 23-OCT. 22 If someone changes their mind about something without any warning, let it slide and get on with life and love. These days, you must work with the unexpected — rather than against it — especially in relationships. You’re not exactly running like clockwork yourself these days, which is great fun. OCT. 23-NOV. 21 Don’t worry if you’ve said too much. People tend to forget things these days, because they have so much on their minds; and they usually blame themselves for getting it wrong anyway. The world keeps turning. The faster you forget and get on to the next thing, the faster others will as well. NOV. 22-DEC. 21 You may have noticed that the chaos level has declined. Jupiter retrograde is inviting you to detach a little from the outer world, and focus inwardly. Mercury goes retrograde today, bidding you to do the same. If you’re an artist, focus on art. If you’re a lover, focus on love. DEC. 22-JAN. 19 Mars in your sign has been making some truly unusual moves — I mean stuff that is unprecedented in the history of astrology. This points to developments that have never occurred before in all your days. Use this unusual energy to your advantage. Do what you must. JAN. 20-FEB. 18 One of the core spiritual lessons of your life is letting go of old patterns and embracing new ones. This is all about how you think, and what you think about. With Mercury changing directions today, you will have the perfect opportunity to remember certain things, and forget others.
