IF IT’S YOUR BIRTHDAY ON…

-

Aries March 20 – April 18

Every Full Moon triggers changes in circumstan­ces and heightens everybody’s feelings. While the mood is bound to be tense and you could well feel exasperate­d, think twice before you express your irritation to others. They’ll be on edge, too, and those words could result in a needless battle.

Taurus April 19 – May 19

Recent ideas or offers didn’t just come from out of the blue. But while ordinarily you’d gather whatever facts you can, then discuss your options with others, things are moving too swiftly for even very brief chats. Once those changes are made, you can rethink them.

Gemini May 20 – June 20

You’re facing a range of events that haven’t just triggered your stubborn streak, you refuse even to discuss alternativ­es. However strong your feelings are, you’re urged to at least consider the options that have come your way. You may argue with others, but you can’t debate how things have gone in the past.

Cancer June 21 – July 21

Although the current Full Moon is accenting one of the most practical portions of your chart, you’re still short of facts. Waste no time trying to gather the necessary informatio­n on your own. You know who to ask but are hesitant because they could be difficult. The secret? Be frank about your requiremen­ts.

Leo July 22 – August 21

Now that your ruler the Sun has moved into Leo, you’ve begun one of the year’s most important journeys. Obviously, you’re looking forward to your birthday. However, it’s worth keeping in mind the Leo New Moon, on August 8. It both triggers a valuable review and brings a timely fresh start.

Virgo August 22 – September 21

You’re in a period that’s as unsettled as, ultimately, it will be worthwhile. It’s just that things won’t go according to plan and, in fact, you may have to rethink arrangemen­ts more than once. Ordinarily you’d worry you got things wrong. In this case, those changes are due to progress, much of it exciting.

Libra September 22 – October 22

Because the current Full Moon brings both facts and feelings to a head, and accents those closest, at home and out in the world, you’re facing a range of dramas. Pressing as others insist these are, take it slowly. Within days most of those seemingly urgent matters will have resolved themselves, often miraculous­ly.

Scorpio October 23 – November 21

Although you’re not a huge fan of sudden change, you’ve learnt that what’s least expected can also turn out to be most welcome. For now simply make a point of exploring what, and who, these would introduce to your life. Once that’s clear, it’s likely you’ll be seriously interested, if not intrigued.

Sagittariu­s November 22 – December 20

The time has come to disentangl­e yourself from certain once-rewarding arrangemen­ts. While you’ve kept these going out of habit, they’re taking time you’d rather use for other things. Worried about disentangl­ing yourself? Just say you’ve made other plans. Simple. Then avoid mentioning the past, and focus on your new activities.

Capricorn December 21 – January 18 Everybody seems to agree that life will be a lot easier when certain tricky decisions have been made. While that will be a relief, the issues in question won’t vanish. It will just be easier to discuss them. Bear that in mind and when clashes arise, as is likely, you’ll recognise them as part of the process.

Aquarius January 19 – February 18

You’ve been keeping certain potentiall­y tricky issues to yourself, mostly because you’ve been unsure what to say. For now, focus on your own feelings, no more. Discuss them if you’re in the mood but if not, continue to reflect. Urgent as things seem, this cycle is about reflection, and learning about yourself and others.

0904 470 1151 (65p per minute)*

Pisces February 18 – March 19

Every once in a while certain volatile individual­s decide that life’s been unfair to them and that somebody must help them put things right. Often they’ll turn to you and often, to your regret, you’ve said yes. This is about to happen again. This time say no and the sooner, the better.

SATURDAY: Your birthday Full Moon brings energy and emotions to a peak. True initially the heightened feelings, and accompanyi­ng changes, will be unsettling. Instead of brushing these off, make a point of learning from them. Do that and each day will offer insights and unexpected rewards. SUNDAY: As a Leo you’re courageous and think swiftly. While these are virtues, it’s vital you recognise that, equally, there are moments and situations when it’s vital you not only pause but that you embrace a fresh perspectiv­e. Mostly it’s about getting to know, and trust, your instincts. MONDAY: In a range of situations you’re facing questions about who and what you believe in. Listen to others’ views. Then go within, reviewing the nature of certain arrangemen­ts and, equally, your own priorities and feelings, some longstandi­ng. A few will remain, but with others it may be farewell.
