Happy Birthday. Pluto is still cranky. He just can’t seem to lay off the idea that we should be dealing with the fundamental issues affecting society. The Aquarius moon chimes in with agreement, although in far cheerier tones.
ARIES (March 21-April 19):The wind does not command the sailboat. If that were true, all boats would windup in the same place. The way you set your sails determines the direction you go.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20):All of the scenarios that didn’t work out led you to the situations that worked brilliantly. Today, you do not even mind which way it goes. You always find your way.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21): Do not confuse the idea of nurturing with being touchy-feely or soft. Nurturing is a way of letting others relax enough to grow into the next move. Today will show you that you can be nurturing and still be tough.
CANCER (June 22-July 22):The No. 1 rule of remaining a bit mysterious is to avoid answering questions that were not asked of you.This is also an excellent principle to apply to today’s negotiations.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22):You’re not asking that every day be epic, but you’re a little tired of the same old, same old right now, and you’re not sure how best to mix it up.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Laughing hard is noisy. Laughing harder is silent. It’s as if the hilarity itself takes over and the noise can’t come out.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): Even innocent people sometimes clam up suspiciously when the police are around.Why is this? The mere idea of authority has a way of making us ultra-accountable. You can use this principle to maintain order today.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Fellow Scorpio Zig Ziglar made the point that calling traffic lights “stop lights” is pessimistic because they are also “go lights.” And you will find many more optimistic ways of expressing yourself in your present good mood!
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Some long to know what people think of them - but not you, not now anyway. You are so busy doing your thing that you don’t even care if they think of you.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You don’t have to be No. 1 overall to be the very best. You’re not really in competition with anyone else anyway today.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You’ll be surprised at how much feeling, meaning and inspiration you can deliver when you look into another person’s eyes and smile.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You’ll get this indescribably profound feeling, and you’ll just know that you’re in the right place at the right time and it’s all OK.
