IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY
With a full moon on your birthday there are sure to be times when even your superhuman ability to stay calm gets severely tested. Remind yourself often that in the greater scheme of things life is just a game — and games are supposed to be fun!
Today’s full moon will make it hard to take decisive action about business-related matters, but maybe that’s no bad thing. Why? Because this is one of those occasions when your decisions could be based more on feelings than on facts and figures.
TAURUS (April 21 – May 21):
You can ignore a worrying situation if you like but that doesn’t mean it will go away. On the contrary, it will still be there waiting for you later on, by which time it may be even more worrying, so be brave and deal with it now.
You may think you know the answer to a question that everyone else has been struggling with but the full moon suggests you may also be kidding yourself. For best results, put the problem on hold for now and come back to it later on.
Sometimes you fall short of your potential because you don’t take advantage of great opportunities when they are right there in front of you. This week though you can and you must push ahead with your loftiest dreams. It may be now or never.
Because today’s full moon cuts across the career and family axis of your chart you will have to make a decision about which is going to be more important to you over the next few weeks. If in doubt, remember this: Love is the answer to most situations.
What a friend or colleague tells you today may sound sensible but the planets warn they could be trying to trick you, or maybe they simply have no idea what they are talking about. Listen only to your own inner voice – it knows the answers you need.
The most important thing today is that you take note of which way the wind is blowing and then position yourself so that wind is at your back. There is no cosmic law that says you have to struggle against the elements, be they natural or man-made.
The only danger as the new week begins is that you could commit yourself to a plan of action too soon and have to waste time and energy going back to make changes later on. You are not on the clock and can afford to wait a while.
If you face opposition to your ideas from people who don’t understand what you are trying to do then ignore them. Having said that, the advice you get from one particular person, someone you instinctively trust, could save you from making a serious mistake.
Don’t try to pin the blame on “fate” if something goes wrong early in the week. The full moon may be the catalyst for what occurs but it was your own previous choices that created your problems. Own those choices and then improve on them.
You may be tempted to go it alone on the work front because colleagues and employers don’t have the vision to follow your lead, but be careful. The full moon is a clear signal you should wait a bit before making any kind of break.
Travel plans are likely to be disrupted by today’s full moon, so don’t make too many of them. That doesn’t mean you should stay at home and lock the doors, of course, but you will need to pay more attention than usual to where you are going.
