Aries

March 21-April 19

★★★

Community participation pops onto your soul’s radar — but it would mean surrendering individual recognition for your creations. Quite a dilemma.

Taurus

April 20-May 20

★★★

You will be asked to let go of the comforts of home to fulfil your potential in the professional sphere.

Gemini

May 21-June 20

★★★

You no longer believe in the facts that were so obvious to a youthful version of yourself. New truths await.

Cancer

June 21-July 22

★★★

You like to be in control, particularly financially, but there’s another part of you that longs for complex interdependence.

Leo

July 23-August 22

★★★

From your deepest depths, you sense a tantalising emerging possibility: you could go further if you follow someone else.

Virgo

August 23-September 22

★★★

Silent knowing dawns: you will give up your practice of self-contained retreat in favour of practical disinterest and collective effort.

Libra

September 23-October 22

★★★

To allow your creative expression to reach its full potential, you will need to release your need for group approval.

Scorpio

October 23-November 21

★★★

Although you may be flattered by recognition, visibility and status, fulfilment will be found through investing in your personal foundations.

Sagittarius

November 22-December 21

★★★

You’re full to the brim with big ideas and wise philosophy, but will learn most through application of those principles.

Capricorn

December 22-January 19

★★★

Continue to appreciate the benefits you attract from others, but seek to make your own way on your own terms.

Aquarius

January 20-February 18

★★★

Who would you be without positive affirmation from others? Take early steps to cultivate your identity based on self-definition.

Pisces

February 19-March 20

★★★

The largest arc of spiritual integration may look like laziness to outside observers. Don’t be fooled by ritual of busyness.

The flavour of the day:

A quiet change in priorities.

Your birthday message:

A deeper awareness of your role.

Key: ★★ Challenging ★★★ Encouraging ★★★★ Excellent
