If it’s your birthday

Your decisions and choices may not make you the flavor of the month, but you will take deep gratification from knowing that you’re doing the right thing. Meanwhile, it will help if you allow others to have their opinions, and find the one thing you agree with no matter how untenable their position is. This will help you make friends and influence people. You share a birthday with Jules Verne, Lana Turner and Gary Coleman. MARCH 21-APRIL 19 Notice whether you’re the same person inside your home and outside. In general, it’s a good idea to strive for consistency. This is a matter of truth and integrity. You are who you are; you’re not someone playing a role. The more you can break down that inner barrier, the happier you will be. APRIL 20-MAY 20 Sexual frustration should not be an issue, though you may not get your fulfillment in quite the way you want. You can turn this around by finding out what any potential partner needs or desires. Ask outright; and if you’re game, do your best to be accommodating. That will open some doors. MAY 21-JUNE 20 Notice the tension in the environment, and how unnatural it is. Just because so many people are walking around as if on broken glass does not make that healthy. Do what you can to diffuse any bad vibes, if only by being kind, forgiving and relaxed. Gentle eyes go a long way toward spreading peace. JUNE 21-JULY 22 You may need to work like the dickens to wrap up important tasks before the end of the week. However, if you slow down and prevent mistakes, you will save more time than you use. Be precise. Plan your steps. Check your work and check again. Get it right the first, as in very first, time. JULY 23-AUG. 22 You can do whatever you want, as long as you don’t have to lie about it. As soon as you notice you’re embellishing the story or leaving out details, you might want to reconsider your choices. If you feel free to talk about what you’re doing, then the world is your oyster. AUG. 23-SEPT. 22 Be cautious about getting involved in household or family controversy. Keep your objectivity, and a little distance from the situation. You’re in an excellent position to hear everyone’s version of events without passing judgment and you have the benefit of knowing the early history. SEPT. 23-OCT. 22 It would be wise to save any expression of anger, whether in person or written, for another day. It’s not like you to openly express negative sentiments, nor would most people suspect you have strong feelings. Sometimes, however, you slip. You might state your grievance, but super low-key. OCT. 23-NOV. 21 Don’t fall for financial panic. If you have concerns, say, about an investment, take the time to get the facts. That may take a few days; and even still, the difference between what’s true and what’s not true will squirm around for a while. Just be patient and persistent, and you’ll figure it out. NOV. 22-DEC. 21 If you need self-confidence, check where you’re leaking, rather than trying to add some more. Your solar chart is suggesting that you do what you want, rather than saying you’re going to do it. Leave the explaining out, and go ahead with a plan you’ve been trying to hatch nearly forever. DEC. 22-JAN. 19 Your anxiety level may increase today; though, rather than worry, take this as an opportunity for gaining some self-awareness. Your solar chart reveals some concern over something you think you’ll have to sacrifice. What would that be, and for what purpose, and why right now? Think this through. FEB. 19-MARCH 20 The less you do related to a professional matter, the better. You have set things in motion, and they are moving. Now, let any additional facts, details or opinions shake out, and then evaluate the new data when you have it. Be impeccable the truth counts for a lot more than usual right now.
