If it’s your birthday

You will find the liberation from the past that you seek, especially if you choose consciously to stop recreating it. This is a decision you must make; to do that, you’ll need to recognize the signposts that point you back and the ones that point you forward. They will be clear if you’re paying attention, particularly to how you feel in the presence of certain people. You share a birthday with Jane Austen, Noel Coward and Arthur C. Clarke. MARCH 21-APRIL 19 Take this opportunity to reveal something that you deeply need to say. You may know exactly who you want to say it to; or, choose someone you trust. You’ll have to take the initiative and dare to bring up the subject. You’ll be met with welcoming ears, and will set something free within yourself. APRIL 20-MAY 20 One challenge you have is staying in the present moment in your relationships. The past can be compelling. Apart from what you’ve learned, which you always need to re-evaluate, it’s not a thing of value in itself. Yet today it may have a message for you, something valuable that you remember. MAY 21-JUNE 20 It’s time to admit how important your relationships are to you. It’s time to embrace fully how much you love the people in your life, and how much you appreciate their presence. Be generous sharing this feeling. Offer your acknowledgment to anyone you care about and appreciate. JUNE 21-JULY 22 As the New Moon approaches, prepare to organize yourself and begin a new phase of your work. Yes, you may be flying into a headwind; though, like the Wright Brothers at Kitty Hawk, you can use that to your advantage. Focus yourself, clear away trivial activities, and get ready to make a difference. JULY 23-AUG. 22 You don’t think like everyone else. It’s time you made the most of that. Currently your originality is running at a high, though your mind is not exactly working efficiently. So you must set some priorities and make sure they actually reflect what’s truly important to you. AUG. 23-SEPT. 22 Your understanding of an important family matter is deepening, and what you suspected on a mental or intellectual level you’re now confirming on the emotional or body level. That increases the possibility you’ll put this knowledge to good use. That’s why it’s being given to you. SEPT. 23-OCT. 22 You now understand something that took time to figure out, and would be easy to forget. You’ll find it easier to remember if you remain true to your own values, rather than trying to live up to what someone else thinks should be true for you. Being honest with yourself will make this simpler. OCT. 23-NOV. 21 Many people identify with what they have lost, rather than with what they have, or what they might gain. Be careful of that trap today, and take some pleasure in your devotion to knowledge and understanding. Put those attributes out first, and make them the basis of your identity. DEC. 22-JAN. 19 You seem to be processing a fear or concern of some kind with great determination. You can ease back and let the momentum carry you. You don’t need to squeeze the mystery so hard that you crush it. Be gentle. Be patient with yourself. You’re about to figure out how wellsituated you are. JAN. 20-FEB. 18 At the moment, one necessity of your life is to be a master of public relations. However, the thing you don’t want to do is believe your own press release. Therefore, begin from a place of truth, where belief is not necessary, and go directly to the heart of the issue. Only the truth matters. FEB. 19-MARCH 20 Definitely take some time to yourself this weekend, and do what you love to do the most. Then, don’t hesitate to stay up late working on a project designed to advance your professional fortunes, or to serve your existing business. Remember: There’s no need to rush. Slow and steady will prevail.
