If it’s your birthday

A meeting between the Sun and Neptune on your birth anniversary is inviting you to explore the subtle realms of creativity. Bring out the artist in you with music, dance, photography, film or some other form of visual art. You’ve been called to do this for some time, and now is your moment. You will love it, and take a whole new view of life. You share a birthday with Rudolph Valentino, Moshe Feldenkrais, and Lynn Whitfield. MARCH 21-APRIL 19 You will be doing some deep thinking this week, and make a series of important decisions. For too long you’ve been influenced by past events that have hung over you like a cloud. Now it’s time for the heat of the Sun to burn off the fog and let the clear day shine through. SEPT. 23-OCT. 22 You must stand apart from the hapless, the gullible and the true believers. You are not a fool and have no part acting as one. This does not mean being rigid or closed-minded but rather looking at the world as it is. Yes, there is the world as you want it to be -- and you must build it consciously. OCT. 23-NOV. 21 The planets are aligned perfectly for a romantic or erotic encounter, though do you really want one? And if not, what is the source of your hesitance? An encounter in this scenario would mean closeness, exchange, sharing and intimacy. Those are not popular items these days. NOV. 22-DEC. 21 You’re continuing to develop yourself either as lover, artist or gambler; perhaps all three. After all, love is an art, and it has its risks -- and it’s often the chances we take that make amorous experiences so beautiful and exciting. Commit yourself fully; that is your nature. DEC. 22-JAN. 19 Even if you woke up on the wrong side of the bed, rinse off your anxiety and your tension and meet the day with a positive attitude. Take a walk in your favorite part of town and remember what makes you feel good about life. There is plenty, and you are on the right track. JAN. 20-FEB. 18 The Moon enters your sign this morning, which will come as a breath of fresh air. You’ve been in a deep and thoughtful mood, and you need to give yourself some space to move around. Get near some people you care about, actual friends rather than just acquaintances. FEB. 19-MARCH 20 Financial matters will be an important focus this week. Keep it positive and take steps to fulfill your potential. This is always a process, and it can be a long one, though it’s made of individual actions, choices and decisions. You will have several such opportunities in the coming few days.
