If Your Birthday is June 29
(The Day of Airborne Dreamers) | Cancer Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
You have the perfect blend of intellect and imagination; of attention to detail and love of what you do. The heavens are sending a message that you're serving the greatest good for all concerned. You're one of the people leading the way with the idea that we must all work together for the common good, and you have plenty to offer.

Written in the Planets
Mercury's opposition to Pluto today may serve as a reminder that there are different forms of strength. Getting through a situation is often as much about adapting as it is about powering through; the complexity of modern life arguably makes a certain sophistication all the more necessary. Don't rush into anything headlong; rather, be cautious and weigh up your options before deciding a path forward.

Aries (March 20-April 19) -- Now is not the time to get mixed up in family power struggles. They will provide perverse entertainment for others, and absolutely nothing for you. Occupy yourself with more productive things, see a lot of movies, take long walks or stay late at work, and catch up on the news next week.

Taurus (April 19-May 20) -- You're not falling for that horrid economic theory whose motto is "I've got mine, and you've got yours." You know that when people work together and pool their resources, there's a net savings, and a net gain at the same time. This will work with time, money and knowledge.

Gemini (May 20-June 21) -- Tread carefully for the next few days, and don't allow emotions to drive your reasoning when it comes to money. And don't fall for the seeming power that others who have more money than you might seem to wield. It's totally an illusion. In our world, most power involves the mind.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) -- Be precise in your language, which means fact-checking yourself, and making sure that you've got the tone right. Your mind and your words remain on the level of a high-grade weapon, though you want to serve peaceful ends. That means slowing down and thinking carefully. Then do that again.

Leo (July 22-Aug. 23) -- If you're thinking clearly, you won't be thinking for yourself alone. You will remember that your choices affect many. You'll notice that some people around you would benefit from your attention and even some modest resources sent their way. We're all in this together; we must take care of one another.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sep. 22) -- Your feelings may be particularly sensitive today. You could find yourself in a situation where you're doing well and then one annoying thing gets to you. However, now that you've got some warning in advance, you can be prepared, and quickly let any mishaps roll off of you.

Libra (Sep. 22-Oct. 23) -- Do your best to look out for the interests of others. There's profound personal value in this, which is knowing that you're doing your small part to make the world a better place. Be the person from whom people can get some understanding, help or advocacy. Set the example of giving a fair hearing.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 22) -- Don't be surprised if something you say or do gets an actual response, and be aware it might not be the one you want. The nature of the opinion that's expressed matters less than the fact that someone cares. Take this as a learning experience. You don't need anyone to fix you.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 22) -- Our world is largely being driven by anger right now. You know that people have plenty to be pissed off about, and you have a few gripes yourself. You also know that anger will not solve any problems. And it only has limited value revealing what they are.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 20) -- It's funny how what seemed like such a huge issue one day can shrink down to a modest concern the next day, or even disappear completely. You might ask what was driving events of the past few days -- or, you can appreciate the calm and consciously guide your life to a better place.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Have you lost or gained, based on the events of the past few days? Have you learned anything? The answers to those questions should be clear. You may have one idea intellectually, and another on the level of your feelings. How do you feel? Right now, that's your bellwether of inner truth.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You are responding to, and engaging with, some potent forces within yourself. You're also engaging with some potent forces in society: cultural norms, for example, which means other people's ideas of what is right and wrong. They can have all the ideas they want. Nobody decides for you.
