If it’s your birthday

Happy birthday, imaginative individualist! You are born with unusual powers which must be channeled creatively for you to remain healthy. You see much that others do not, and often the stranger side of life. You share your birthday with cartoonist Charles Addams, Addams Family creator, and visionary poet Zora Neale Hurston. This year, Jupiter blesses your career sector, making you insanely successful before October 10, 2017, and ruler Saturn presents healing gifts via loved ones, including those you haven’t seen in a while. Love re-unites you! APRIL 20-MAY 20 Your mind is whirling with new methods and strategies to take your career to the next level in this new year. Halt, before you begin their implementation; take a moment today to indulge in a private pleasure. Rewarding yourself now will remind you why you’re striving forward at the office. MAY 21-JUNE 20 You certainly didn’t get to pick them, but they are yours. Your tendency to forget your family needs to be curbed today. There’s a matriarchal force that is too prideful to ask for help. Reach out to her and you will both be pleasantly surprised how much you need each other. JUNE 21-JULY 22 The holidays are a time for emotional eating for most of the signs. However it’s the weekend after the holidays and it’s time to stop mindlessly feeding your void. Today recalibrate your view on food. It’s a source of fuel and sometimes pleasure, but it will never satiate the soul. JULY 23-AUG. 22 A recent unresolved conflict in the home has reached an explosive level. Before anyone says anything that they will regret, try to keep the offending parties apart. Their pride blinds them, so you’re going to need to use your intuition and peace-keeping skills to keep the family intact. AUG. 23-SEPT. 22 The holidays are over and you are sifting through your gifts and reflecting on the current state of your family. Don’t be weighed down by melancholy. You are well-loved, and it’s important to realize that distance only has to be in miles. Love transcends it. If you’re feeling lonely, call a cousin. SEPT. 23-OCT. 22 The spirit of charity moves through you today. Make the time to volunteer for a cause this weekend that moves you. When we give of ourselves without expecting accolades, it is one of the purest forms of love. It exists and the more you practice it, the more your heart will heal. OCT. 23-NOV. 21 A coworker is already trying to mess with your new year. Luckily it’s the weekend and you have time to regroup. Today map out a strategy that will allow you to work peacefully and productively without being pulled into the petty games of office politics. Rise above it and you’ll shine. NOV. 22-DEC. 21 A friend in need has been trying to reach out, but all of their efforts to reconnect have been thwarted by circumstances out of their control. You stand on a firmer foundation so you can take the initiative with this one. Reach back! It’s someone who has fallen behind and needs your guidance. DEC. 22-JAN. 19 The world may feel like it’s going to pieces, but you’ve been secretly preparing for this. You’ve got an air of calm this weekend that people are attracted to. It’s because they feel the power that you possess. Whatever happens next, know that you’re one of the strongest in the room. JAN. 20-FEB. 18 A friend this weekend is going to overstep their boundaries. Before lashing out and saying something you will regret, take yourself out of the situation. Take time for reflection today. Your level of sociability is higher than your norm. Examine why you’re desperately seeking the company of others. FEB. 19-MARCH 20 The spirit of persuasion moves through you, and everyone this weekend seems to be falling in line. Empowering, but don’t be corrupted so easily. Instead of manipulating to get your way, focus on the one person in your life who you keep miscommunicating with. Take the time to have a conversation, not a debate.
