If it’s your birthday
Happy birthday, inspired workaholic! You share your birthday with powerful wordsmiths Christiane Amanpour and Howard Stern, and Jeff Bezos, who arguably has spread more words than anyone, and my former client Henny Youngman, whose funny words we still repeat today. Whatever the emphasis, your words will go far and impact many. This year, wise ruler Saturn makes you sacrifice less for your professional life, and more for personal psyche and healing. Before Oct. 10, 2017, profitable Jupiter ensures your career and public profile both rise effortlessly. Then love takes over and all you need do is, finally, enjoy. APRIL 20-MAY 20 You’ve been holding onto your control and it’s starting to suffocate the entire household. Release your grip and everyone will breathe easier. Tell a joke and remind everyone how light you can be. Don’t let winter weigh heavily on your soul. You have to lead with joy and a smile. MAY 21-JUNE 20 You surprisingly find yourself hoofing it to and fro at a runner’s pace. Keep going and you will easily become a champion. Don’t lose faith in yourself. Nothing can put out the fire in your heart. You know what you have to do. Be brave to enough to allow yourself to succeed. JUNE 21-JULY 22 A quarrel with a loved one has reached a boiling point. Both of you are too stubborn to retreat. Be the more gallant one and let your guard down first. Open up with an honest statement about how you’ve been feeling and a truce is possible by the end of day. Peace is achievable. JULY 23-AUG. 22 This season’s weather has been affecting you more than you realize and dark clouds have been clouding your judgment. You have to remember that each day is growing longer. So have hope. Clear your mind with a humorous project or comedy. Clarity will return when the worry and fear depart. AUG. 23-SEPT. 22 You will be confronted today with a conundrum. It presents a decision that seems to lead to an easy victory. Before brazenly choosing a path, weigh all the options carefully. Allow the wisdom you carry, buried deep within, you to be released. You have the potential for greatness. SEPT. 23-OCT. 22 You’ve been suspending pleasure for business and your creative side is about to jump out of your skin. Spare as much time as you can to an artistic endeavor today. Be it painting the deck, or heating up the kiln; allow yourself the space for creation. You need the solitude to fall into introspection. OCT. 23-NOV. 21 Today is going to present what at first seems to be a major problem. However, you have to change your thinking. Instead of immediately fixating on the negative of the situation, force yourself to see as an optimist would. Problems become opportunities for you to shine. Allow your ingenuity to sparkle through and impress everyone. NOV. 22-DEC. 21 You’ve got to get the tail out from between your legs. Something has forced you into a submissive state of mind and all your thoughts are curled in on themselves. You cannot give the past dominion over the present. Today is the day to stand up for yourself and confront head on. JAN. 20-FEB. 18 If it’s felt like a losing streak, don’t be fooled. It has all been preparation for the big victory. You just have to push through the next days and you will end up the winner of a current project. No one can match your diligence when you put your mind to success. FEB. 19-MARCH 20 Your mind’s been made up about a co-worker. However it’s such a frigid position to take, and frozen in place with preconceived notions besides. Let your thoughts thaw out and look at them in a different light. You might realize that an alliance is possible that will benefit the both of you.
