IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY
A new moon on your birthday is the best possible omen for success, and if you are prepared to risk a little to gain a lot there is no telling what amazing things you can accomplish over the next 12 months. There are almost no limits.
If you are suspicious of what a colleague is up to don’t let it show. You are more likely to find out what their game is if you pretend that you are completely at ease with what they are proposing. A little subterfuge is no bad thing.
TAURUS (April 21 – May 21):
Today’s new moon in the partnership area of your chart will iron out any difficulties you’ve been having with loved ones. You may even discover that there was never anything major to really worry about – and not for the first time.
If you are tasked with doing something that will take up a lot of your time and energy you must insist on being paid for it. Don’t let employers or colleagues fob you off with that old excuse that a job done well is its own reward!
This is one of the best days of the year for starting something of a creative nature. The new moon means your head and your heart are in perfect harmony, so whatever you do you can be sure it will be a success from the very beginning.
The more the critics try to persuade you to lower your sights today the more you must ignore them and aim higher still. The reason they want to limit what you do is because they know your efforts will far outshine their own.
If you have an opinion about something today you must make it known to everyone within earshot. The planets warn if you keep quiet now you will regret it later on when you realize how much you could have and should have influenced events.
A solution to a problem of some kind will pop into your head today. You may at first be reluctant to believe it but if you show a little trust you will soon discover that it is in fact the answer to not just one problem but several.
Today’s new moon in your sign is the starting gun being fired for the remainder of the year. Forget about everything you did and did not do earlier in 2026 and draw up a plan that will take you racing to the finishing line.
What you do next will set the scene for a long time to come, so be serious about what is going on in the world and focus on what you would like to improve about yourself. Major change is possible if you want it enough.
You may enjoy acting alone but the current new moon is begging you to join with people who share your aims and ideals so you can do something magical together. Don’t aim to just change your own life, aim to change the world.
You may or may not be ambitious by nature but with today’s new moon taking place in the area of your chart that governs your reputation there is no better time to get out into the world and make a name for yourself. A good name, of course!
If the wanderlust grabs you today you must go with it. Your journey may be short or long, but no matter where you end up you will find happiness there, so get out and about and start creating that wonderful new life you so often dream about.
