Your Stars Today

Aries | March 20 – April 19



The current Full Moon, in your fellow fire sign of Sagittarius, both heightens everybody’s feelings and fuels your own sense of wanderlust. As a result, you could find yourself considering studies or travel, possibly with others. While these might work out, take a few days to think things over.

Taurus | April 20 – May 20



Being a Taurus and ruled by the gracious Venus, you’d always rather find a civilised way to deal with differences than resort to open battle. Yet this variety of diplomacy doesn’t register with certain individuals. In that case, the only option is to be forthright, if not actually aggressive.

Gemini | May 21 – June 20



Facts are one thing and reason is another, and both are vital if you’re to overcome persistent difficulties with others. There’s one problem which you been unaware of, however, and that’s the sheer stubbornness in the attitude of a particular individual. The knowledge of this fact alone will explain a great deal.

Cancer | June 21 – July 22



The last thing you want is to trigger an out and out battle with certain already contentious individuals. However, bullying others in this manner is their way of getting and keeping control. Obviously, standing up to them is scary. Still, do so and you’ll be amazed how swiftly they back down.

Leo | July 23 – August 22



Be careful what you say to others, especially in situations that involve seemingly lasting arrangements. While, obviously, life would be easier if you could deal with changes once and for all, with the actual circumstances unsettled, that’s unrealistic. The solution is simple. Ensure all the plans you make are flexible.

Virgo | August 23 – September 22



Few things are more infuriating than dealing with those who don’t care if their errors inconvenience others. Yet you’re dealing with exactly such an individual. Tempting as it is to hope they’ll mend their ways, it’s unlikely. A better strategy is to anticipate and remedy their mistakes before they make them.

Libra | September 23 – October 22



Only now that Mercury’s retrograde cycle is concluding are you recognising just how much minor errors have created confusion in crucial joint arrangements. Complicated as untangling these seems, you’ve no choice. Others need to be updated. While beginning won’t be easy, once you have, each step will lead smoothly onto the next.

Scorpio | October 23 – November 21



If you feel oddly emotional about certain matters that you usually regard as part of everyday life, it’s no surprise. They’re changing, along with a number of others about which you’re surprisingly sentimental. Bizarrely, you’re embarrassed by these feelings. You needn’t be. These have been a meaningful part of your life.

Sagittarius | November 22 – December 21



Since early March the dynamic Mars has been in Sagittarius, triggering a period of both action and review. On the 27th it moves into the most strategic portion of your chart. During its stay there, until early August, you’ll be reviewing and dealing with numerous matters you do your best to ignore.

Capricorn | December 22 – January 19



Don’t be surprised if you find that you must backtrack on certain matters you regarded as fairly straightforward. At the time you made the plans, they were. Since then, however, circumstances have changed and so has your own position. That being the case, ensure any arrangements you make are flexible.

Aquarius | January 20 – February 17



The decisions you made about your domestic setup or lifestyle are working well, so much, changes seem unlikely. Yet judging by the current planetary setup, you’ll need to rethink those plans. If you begin exploring your options now, should destiny decide to take a hand in these developments, you’ll be prepared.

Pisces | February 18 – March 19



For ages you’ve been avoiding subjects you knew could upset certain individuals. While, thus far, that’s been no problem, sudden changes are forcing you to raise and discuss these frankly. Do exactly that. Not only will others be relieved you brought these up, you’ll discover they’re not nearly as sensitive as you thought.
