Today's birthdayNature observes the new moon with a slowdown in cell growth and this is mirrored by a similarly reflective mood in humanity. However, because it takes place on your birthday, it is especially important that you pause to consider where you stand now, what is important to you and what you can let go of. The insights may surprise you.
Scorpio October 23 - November 20
Do not underestimate the importance of certain rules you have been hoping to sidestep. Ordinarily, you might have been able to, but challenging situations or changes in the set-up have meant arrangements are much tighter than usual.
Sagittarius November 21 - December 20
Little infuriates you more than injustice. However, before you take a stand on an issue you regard as worth fighting for, it is wiser to ask some serious questions first. Once you do, you will realise this is really about certain individuals refusing to make changes.
Capricorn December 21 - January 19
There are several interpretations for your ruler Saturn's recent clash with Pluto. Most suggest you are facing difficulties but it is more a matter of perspective. Focus on the facts and you will see those problems from a different angle.
Aquarius January 20 - February 18
If you were facing nothing but opposition you would probably take things slowly and deal with each dilemma individually. But because certain developments are unexpectedly delightful, you hope the rest will become as pleasant.
Pisces February 19 - March 19
It is not that others are unreliable; it is just that they have jumped to conclusions about certain situations then shared their unverified information. Your first challenge is to sift fact from falsehood and to do so as discreetly as possible.
Aries March 20 - April 18
Pause now and give some serious thought to certain seemingly unfair situations. While they might appear that way at first glance, ask a few questions and the odds are good you will realise it is all about other people's complaints. And you may decide they are not worth your time.
Taurus April 19 - May 19
Legal, moral or practical issues may be significant but think carefully before you get so involved you allow them to take priority over other less pressing matters. Address these conflicts now, making it abundantly clear where you stand.
Gemini May 20 - June 19
Last week's lively discussions continue but in a somewhat more focused manner. In fact, because this week's events demand quick action, you are moving swiftly from theory to reality. Taking such fast action means you will not always get things right.
Cancer June 20 - July 21
You are beginning to see through some people's excuses. As a Cancer, you know better than to confront them but others do not understand why that would not work, which means you have to prevent them from doing something you will all regret.
Leo July 22 - August 21
Judging by the complex planetary set-up, even the simplest arrangements are likely to run into obstacles. These may seem nothing but an irritant and something to be sidestepped. But they are far more significant than you realise as will soon become abundantly clear.
Virgo August 22 - September 21
While at some point you will have to analyse tricky issues about who is responsible for what, this is not the ideal time. The actual situations involved are far more complex than you think and once you start tackling them stopping is not going to be easy.
Libra September 22 - October 22
The problem is not the obstacles you are facing. You understand where they come from and what to do about them. The problem is that certain people you would have expected to lend you a hand have not done so. Ask them to explain.
