If it’s your birthday

You must have a thick skin when dealing with people and their opinions. Being a soft and sensitive person is deep in your nature and part of your appeal, though it only serves you so well. Make a conscious choice to see yourself your own way, and not take on the ideas of others. You are who you are, and nobody can change that, or take it from you. You share a birthday with Richard Adams, Glenda Jackson and Ghostface Killah. MARCH 21-APRIL 19 Allow yourself to be driven by intelligence, rather than anger. There’s some tension in your chart, and it can work well for you if you draw strength and inspiration. Yet you will squander all of your brilliance if you speak harsh words or lash out. Keep things positive. Keep your sense of humor. SEPT. 23-OCT. 22 You may have some new clarity on a financial issue. You know that you don’t need the investments, involvements or control of others to create what you want, though you will need to pace yourself and make shrewd decisions about money, starting with cutting back waste.
