If it’s your birthday

You know that you’re a person of distinction. This is not fame, notoriety, glory or power. Distinction means different in an unusual way, and in your case, a beautiful way. So here’s the question: Do you have the courage to embody your own beauty, and to possess it fully, and to never let it be used against you? I think that you do, though only if you try. You share a birthday with Annie Easley, John Oliver and Taio Cruz. MARCH 21-APRIL 19 You seem to be working out a deep question. The way to do that is to allow your thoughts to proceed slowly and meticulously, and every now and then you will have a breakthrough. No one revelation is “the one”; rather, the little bursts will form a pattern, and then you connect the dots. APRIL 20-MAY 20 You may not realize it, but you possess an innate healing power. Everyone does, though at the moment, yours is coming through in an unusual way. Yet to tap this gift, it’s essential that you set aside any conflict and proceed under the guidance of love and kindness. That should come naturally. MAY 21-JUNE 20 You still seem uncertain of a plan or strategy, which is appropriate. In the end you will probably come up with a whole new angle different from the one you’re considering now, so there’s no need to invest too much energy into it. Try some entirely different approaches to the question. JUNE 21-JULY 22 Today is the first quarter moon, which is a turning point for you. The Sun is helping as well, now transiting the more laid-back sign Taurus rather than hot and fiery Aries. Stick to what you know is important. Honor your priorities. Feather your own nest, and feel good about who you are. JULY 23-AUG. 22 The Moon in your sign today is making a series of helpful aspects to planets in your fellow fire sign Aries. Therefore, take any advantage to improve your life, or to help anyone who may need your assistance. You have a keen sense of right and wrong. Remember that today, and every day. AUG. 23-SEPT. 22 There’s only so much you can seek your identity in others, and you’ve reached a limit to that process. Notice when you’re doing this – whomever it may involve – and then take the leap to your own desires, visions and sense of who you are. You do not need confirmation. SEPT. 23-OCT. 22 You have all kinds of ideas about relationships. Yet there comes a time when you actually have to try them out, which will involve a real-time experiment in how you’re thinking. Fortunately, you may find that a partner is as eager to get out of their head as you are. Stick to what you feel. NOV. 22-DEC. 21 Aspects today are opening the way to the future, though there’s an important matter that still needs your attention. You already know most of what you need, in order to figure this out. However, the one step remaining is to assemble all of your knowledge in one place. DEC. 22-JAN. 19 The Sun in your fellow earth sign Taurus is providing you many opportunities to express your feelings in wholesome ways. This is not assured; there are no guarantees. You are the one who chooses how you direct your energy, and the great thing is that every option is open. JAN. 20-FEB. 18 You seem uncertain whether something is happening within you, or to you. I suggest you investigate both approaches and see what you come up with. You may note there is definitely something within, and also something without. The question is where the two meet. FEB. 19-MARCH 20 Take special care when in public this week: whom you talk to, what you say, and why you choose to enter any social situation. There’s some volatile energy afoot, and you will need to maintain a high level of situational awareness. Stick with a close friend, and check in for another point of view.
