If it’s your birthday

Recognize a blessing when you see it. It could come as a compliment. It might be an endorsement. Someone might share one of your photos. A person you admire might tell you the one good thing they see in your work. Don’t brush it off or take it for granted. Rather, take it to heart, and remember who notices you. Remember who cares, and stay in contact with them. You share a birthday with Mary Higgins Clark, Lemmy and Ricky Martin. MARCH 21-APRIL 19 You’ve entered a whole new phase of your professional life, one where your calling may come through loud and clear. It’s your choice whether you answer. But this is not as simple as responding to voicemail. You will need to make changes, and elect yourself president of your life. APRIL 20-MAY 20 By now you’ve had a clue that your sexuality is one of your deepest connections to existence; or, as some would say, your spirituality. Remember that this goes contrary to just about everything our society teaches. No matter: you are now one of our teachers, and honesty is the only policy. MAY 21-JUNE 20 Your solar chart is a beautiful example of where your imagination meets your ability to construct your reality. Remember that you may dream something up on your own; and yet to manifest it, you will depend on others. If you trust your ideas, you will find the collaborators you need. JUNE 21-JULY 22 As if by some supernatural phenomenon, your relationships are growing, changing and evolving. At this time, it would be wise to observe rather than to try to direct the flow of events. Focus on listening, and pay close attention to where people are coming from. You will not need to read their minds. JULY 23-AUG. 22 You can now apply an idea whereas before, you might have used long and difficult effort. Sometimes doing things the hard way is necessary, though it’s still good to temper that with creativity, which includes noticing whether you’ve already accomplished what you’re setting out to do. AUG. 23-SEPT. 22 One message the universe is sending is to take your artwork seriously. True, not everyone is an artist, but in fact most people have aspirations in that direction. And even if you have the meekest, mildest leanings in the direction of mixing beats, painting in watercolor or doing the tango, go for it. SEPT. 23-OCT. 22 Your solar chart is all about home and family, during that home and family time of year. Yet this same astrology also describes you as a stabilizing force and, in a sense, a foundation of your tribe or community. Take a subtle approach at first. You don’t need to claim authority. Just be available. OCT. 23-NOV. 21 Today’s chart is some of the most alluring and sexy Scorpio astrology I’ve ever seen. Mars, Jupiter, Neptune and the Pisces Moon all combine to make this a playful, passionate few days. Spend as much time doing exactly what you want as you possibly can. You’re free to minimize other commitments. NOV. 22-DEC. 21 Remember what you’ve learned in these very eventful years of your life. You will never have these particular teachings again: it’s time to embrace new lessons, and new adventures. Yet the knowledge you gained is precious, and it will be easy to forget. You must consciously keep what you’ve earned. JAN. 20-FEB. 18 If you’re doing any last minute Christmas shopping, cut your budget in half, and proceed on the basis that “it’s the thought that counts.” That is actually true, and today’s solar chart is the perfect setup for spending way too much money, and for that matter, drinking too much alcohol. Easy does it. FEB. 19-MARCH 20 It’s not that you’ve been trying to prove anything to anyone; but when you’re reaching for more relevant forms of success, it can seem that way. You now get a break from aspiring. This will not harm your prospects. Rather, saunter around with the confidence of a self-made person.
