IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY

Not only is there a full moon on your birthday but Venus, your ruler, links with Saturn, planet of restriction, which means that success will depend on your ability to be self-disciplined. If you want to move up you will need to tighten up first.

ARIES (March 21 – April 20):

Something about your private life that you would have preferred to stay secret could become public knowledge today. It may be embarrassing but it’s of no real importance, so admit that you made a silly mistake and then move on.

TAURUS (April 21 – May 21):

Because today’s full moon takes place in the partnership area of your chart you may be tempted to give up on a difficult relationship, but don’t be hasty. It could be there is a karmic link here that needs to be played out to the end.

GEMINI (May 22 – June 21):

If the old way of doing things no longer seems to work it could be a message from the universe that you need to upgrade your methods and routines. As one of the zodiac’s air signs you should have no trouble adapting to the latest techniques.

CANCER (June 22 – July 23):

Moderation is always a good thing but today it is essential. It may seem as if you are being held back from creating something of value in your life but don’t make an issue of it. Greater opportunities are about to come your way.

LEO (July 24 – Aug. 23):

You may not think of yourself as easy to fool but an offer that comes your way today could be so good that it turns your head. It would be smart to remind yourself that there is no such thing as an offer you cannot refuse.

VIRGO (Aug. 24 – Sept. 23):

You have a tendency to worry about little things when you should be looking at the bigger picture, and today’s full moon will magnify that inclination. Don’t get bogged down in details over the next 24 hours. Keep your sights raised high.

LIBRA (Sept. 24 – Oct. 23):

You know you should never get emotional about money but the current full moon could make it difficult for you to let go of the idea that what other people gain is a loss for you personally. That’s wrong. Life is not a zero-sum game.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24 – Nov. 22):

Today’s full moon in your sign will make you a bit touchy but it will also sharpen your awareness of what friends and colleagues are up to. You have a talent for digging past what others say until you find what they really mean.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 – Dec. 21):

You will have to do something today that you don’t much enjoy but you know that it is expected of you and will give it your best shot. Your sacrifice won’t be forgotten and later on the universe will reward you with a more pleasurable task.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 – Jan. 20):

A friendship could come under a fair bit of strain today but if you are smart enough to stop arguing and back off for a while it won’t be the end of your association. Friends are allowed to disagree. Sometimes it can even make a friendship stronger.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 – Feb. 19):

Because today’s full moon takes place in the career area of your chart you will need to watch what you say when interacting with employers and other important people. You may be the one in the right but save your criticism for another day.

PISCES (Feb. 20 – Mar. 20):

If something goes wrong today it could be a sign from the universe that what you are working on may be harmful for you in the long-term. Take the hint and down tools until early next week, by which time the picture should be clearer.
