IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY
Venus is so strong on your birthday this year that your values are likely to change in a very big way. You must, however, make sure this change comes from the heart and reflects your own needs and desires. Don’t let others manipulate you.
It’s not like you to worry so much but you seem to be expecting something rather bad to occur. Fortunately, the approaching new moon will provide you with something more positive to focus on, something to do with the people you love.
TAURUS (April 21 – May 21):
If you are torn between doing something you enjoy and something boring that others expect of you, go with the fun choice. Life is too short to waste time on things that fail to inspire you, so let the world know you’ll be doing your own thing today.
The fact that you fear losing something of a material nature suggests you have become too attached to it. You don’t have to let it go completely but you do need to loosen its hold over you during the early part of the week.
CANCER (June 22 – July 23):
A new moon in your sign will fire your passion for something of a creative nature over the next few days, and Mars will provide the energy to give it your very best shot. You are capable of so much more than you allow yourself to believe.
Recent events have been confusing to say the least and what occurs next is unlikely to clarify the situation. What it will do though is to remind you that you are in control of the major events of your life, not unseen forces you don’t understand.
You can choose to be happy or you can choose to be sad, but what you cannot choose is how other people treat you. No matter what happens today you can and you must keep a smile on your face. It will protect you from the world’s negativity.
A window of opportunity on the work front will open up over the next few days, so be ready to move fast and seize your big chance to shine. If you dream of moving up in the world － and you should － it could soon be a reality.
Cosmic activity in the most adventurous area of your chart will encourage you to do things differently both at home and at work. Even those who know you best will be amazed by your willingness to embrace radical solutions to everyday problems.
The message of the stars today is that you need to be careful how you choose to make money. The approaching new moon will encourage you to look for ways to increase your wealth, but if you cut corners you could cut you profit margins as well.
Now is the perfect time to fix an issue that has been causing a lot of tension in recent weeks. A new moon in the partnership area of your chart will endow you with the courage to do the unthinkable and meet a rival halfway.
If you approach what you have to do in a positive frame of mind it will not only work out well but will set you up for a week in which you accomplish more than you or anyone else expected. Attitude is more important than strength or talent.
It’s not like you to lack tact but you seem to have reached a point where you no longer care what effect your words might have on other people. Don’t be abrasive for the sake of it, but do say what you mean and refuse to back down.
