Celebrity birthday
Cate Blanchett
14 May 1969
Cate is a very logical and down to earth person, but she can become fixed in her thinking and set in her ideas. However, she is extremely loyal to those she loves and will make great sacrifices on their behalf, if necessary. This is her year to make her mark on the world and her popularity will be extremely powerful. Change is all around her and she needs to go with the flow even though she may not have all the answers to all the problems.
Aries: 21 Mar – 20 Apr
Venus is in the third house, the area of your chart devoted to short distance journeys, social activities and the mind. The latter is going to be extremely active, particularly if you happen to be creative. Those around you at work are going to be really impressed – including the boss.
Taurus: 21 Apr – 21 May
Financial incomings might have increased but that doesn’t mean you can rob your own bank account. If you do, you could regret it for quite some time. You would be wise to create an emergency fund where you can have access to savings to cover bills, mortgage payments or necessities.
Gemini: 22 May – 21 June
The planets encourage you to have faith in yourself; this is the time to persuade others that you can take charge of a delicate situation. What others don’t realise is that you have an uncanny ability to uncover hidden facts and information, as you have a detective-like mind.
Cancer: 22 June – 22 July
Due to the influence of Neptune in your chart, you need to be careful of becoming involved with people or situations that are insincere. You have amazing insights and intuitions which have rarely, if ever, let you down so have faith in your inner voice.
Leo: 23 July – 23 Aug
If you imagine you can pull the wool over your partner’s eyes, you are in for a very big surprise. The tension in the planets is urging you to think about those patterns of behaviour that lead you to doubt yourself when there is no need to do so.
Virgo: 24 Aug – 23 Sept
Neptune creates confusion in your personal life at times during May and you might have the feeling that someone is not being completely truthful with you. Your intuition and instincts will help you to uncover hidden details and information that will provide some clarity.
Libra: 24 Sept – 23 Oct
If you feel an attraction to someone from afar, remember that long-distance relationships rarely last, so avoid getting involved, especially with those you meet on social media. At work, Neptune is causing confusion. You’ve tried hard to take a rational approach to a complex matter, but emotional undercurrents remain.
Scorpio: 24 Oct – 22 Nov
Financial matters seem to have reached a vital stage and steps need to be taken to ensure long-term security and prosperity. If work has been demanding of late, you’ve probably been setting a cracking pace. No doubt this will make you smile because you love to be top dog.
Sagittarius: 23 Nov – 21 Dec
Be picky and alert this week because you’re going to need these characteristics on your side. On the business or career front, you must confront reality and be prepared to begin again from scratch. Right now, you can meet any challenge and will be pleased with the way you perform.
Capricorn: 22 Dec – 20 Jan
Regardless of setbacks or disappointments you might have experienced recently, you are well on the road to recovery and success. It might be a good idea to trim your expenses and take a second look at your budget because you do need to keep an eye on money right now.
Aquarius: 21 Jan – 19 Feb
It’s a good time to make a plan, especially if it will enhance your future security. That isn’t to say you should make some dramatic changes, but you should be exploring ways to solve any current financial difficulties and look after your interests in the months ahead.
Pisces: 20 Feb – 20 Mar
Close colleagues at work and loved ones at home are looking to make some changes around the place, either to routines or the surroundings. Ensure you listen to them and if you think they’re being completely impractical, gently point out the pitfalls in their plans without being too arrogant.
