Introduction

A reader and friend here in Cuenca asked me if I would write something up on “Half-Birthdays.” Honestly, I never heard of such a thing, but that doesn’t mean much. There’s a whole lot I don’t know. Always curious, I said I would look into it. Now that I have researched and developed a perspective, I’m sharing my findings with you.

While I could find no official information or studies on Half-Birthdays per se, I decided to ask, what if these did mean something? What would it look like? The answer is that each planet or luminary does have a Full Cycle in which intentions set at the beginning of the cycle are illuminated, set straight, and clarified.

Most of us are familiar with the example of setting New Moon intentions, which will also attract Full Moon illumination of these. In this blog, we look at your sign’s likely birthday intentions and the Light of these, which reflect to you on your “half-birthday, six months later, midway through your Solar Return.

Let’s play. Scroll below for your and your loved ones’ half-birthday signs to see through your open portal of personal Illumination. See how this works for you. I’m curious to see if there’s anything worthy here.

Aries, your Half-Birthday is Libra

Aries spontaneously sets a birthday intention that activates the movement of energy into greater personal awareness of I AM-ness.

With your half-birthday in Libra, it will behoove you to slow down enough to see and drop any impulses of self-sabotage while gaining momentum on what is lighting up your life.

Taurus patiently sets your birthday course in the present moment and maintains mindfulness with every footfall along the way.

When your half-birthday rolls around, you may be encouraged to new heights by introducing Scorpio passion into realizing your objective.

Gemini, your Half-Birthday is Sagittarius

Do you find it best on your Solar Return to hold on to a maypole of intent around which ribbons and dimensions of thoughts can shift, change and rearrange into something valuable?

If so, you may be onto something when you arrive at your half-birthday in Sagittarius. This half-birthday lights up your vision and opens up new channels to elevate your intentions.

Cancer, your Half-Birthday is Capricorn

I can imagine you writing down at least one list of plans for your year. Doesn’t it feel good to check each thing off, too?

Here comes Pisces to remind you to relax, scale back and reassess what you can really get done and still get some fun and child-like flow time into your plans.

Libra, your Half-Birthday is Aries

While our intentions for the year ahead may include the Sun, the Moon, and the stars, only a few may be worth your time.

Our half-birthday in Aries snaps us out of our minds and into life here in the Earth Dream. It shows us how to get back to essential ideas and the time we have to explore them.

Scorpio, your Half-Birthday is Taurus

Internal alchemy will always be underlying any Scorpio desire, whether realized or not. You are always transmuting poisons.

Thank goodness for your Taurus half-birthday, which grounds, tempers, and connects your powerful emotional energy into practical awareness, integration, and service.

Sagittarius, your Half-Birthday is Gemini

You start your year with the big picture where details aren’t so necessary at first. The view looks grand from the beginning.

By the time your half-birthday in Gemini reveals all the other ideas, you will be fully ready to implement the rest of your vision. They’ll show up by the dozen for you to implement.

Capricorn, your Half-Birthday is Cancer

What mountain summit are you climbing from your birthday forward this year, Capricorn? Your clear direction, a sense of purpose, and focus enable you to reach the peak.

That your quest fulfills itself is assured. But will you enjoy the ascent? Your half-birthday in Cancer will help you stop, relax, and feel more balanced. Listen, and you can “have it all.”

Aquarius, your Half-Birthday is Leo

Your intention is naturally cause-related. The Aquarius energy that sees a collective effort to elevate ourselves is worth pursuing.

Setting an intention to uplift and unify humanity, and its best arrives at your Leo half-birthday ready to celebrate the leadership qualities you see in and all around you. Your community comes together and works together to fulfill its aim.

Pisces, your Half-Birthday is Virgo

You may or may not have an intention, dear Pisces, for going with the flow is your preferred mode of moving forward, and well, it should be. Someone needs to be an example of accepting things as they are.

But your Virgo’s half-birthday will snap you out of any confusion about what to do and where to go from here. You’ll take note of detailed bits of information to integrate into your intuitive vision for success.

Conclusion

Who is to say whether something has merit or not? While half-birthdays aren’t a “thing,” they coincide with the revelatory cycle of your Solar Return and year. It will be interesting to see if we remember our half-birthday and apply our attention to redirecting our year in ways that support our well-being and best interests.
