Your Stars Today

Aries | March 20 – April 19



Usually, agreeing to an idea, plan or offer when short of facts is colossally unwise. But with things moving so swiftly, you really have no choice. Just make it clear that as you learn more about the practical side of arrangements, you may need to make some changes. Others will understand.

Taurus | April 20 – May 20



Long ago you learnt that you’ve no interest in certain ideas or activities. Yet currently destiny, in the form of sudden offers, seems to think you’d like to get involved in these. Bizarre as it seems, explore them. Times have changed and so have you, enough you could discover they’re enjoyable.

Gemini | May 21 – June 20



There’s a difference between making a plan and organising one  that you know will last. Between your ruler Mercury being retrograde and the current unsettled planetary climate, changes are inevitable and will be far ranging. Disruptive as they are, each will in some way constitute a timely breakthrough.

Cancer | June 21 – July 22



In certain cases, only so much analysis can be done before a decision must be made. And that seems to be the situation now. If you’re still unsure what’s best, then commit. But do so in such a way it’s clear to everybody concerned that the arrangements in question must be regarded as flexible.

Leo | July 23 – August 22



As a fire sign, you find dealing with those who’re obsessed with details a drag. While that’s understandable, especially as often they’re a nuisance, at the moment it’s different. Certain seemingly minor facts will prove to be pivotal. Since you won’t know which initially, every one must be regarded as crucial.

Virgo | August 23 – September 22



The plans you’re discussing have reached the point at which you’re refining the arrangements already made, and are fine-tuning crucial details. Once you begin, however, you’ll notice that circumstances are shifting more swiftly than you first realised. They’ve changed so much, in fact, you’ll need to rethink your initial arrangements.

Libra | September 23 – October 22



Sooner or later you’ll going to need to have a frank, if not very uncomfortable, discussion about already complex matters. Tempting as it is to get it done and over with all at once, it will be difficult for you and overwhelming for others. Take it in stages, raising a new issue every day or so.

Scorpio | October 23 – November 21



While it’s true, sometimes you can be secretive, in one particular case you’ve had no intention of hiding anything, from anybody. However, judging by powerful links involving the retrograde Mercury, you were unaware of certain vital facts. These will come to light gradually. As they do, update others immediately.

Sagittarius | November 22 – December 21



However much you love the people you’re with or your daily life, as a Sagittarius, you need to escape from time to time. This is just such a moment. If you can’t slip away for a holiday, take a mini-vacation by disappearing for a day. You’ll return refreshed and renewed.

Capricorn | December 22 – January 19



Over the past several days you struggled with issues involving potential new arrangements or ventures. While you’ve learnt a great deal, those who’ve been involved along with you have done little. And they probably won’t. They’ll likely proceed without gathering any facts. Not everybody is as thorough as you are.

Aquarius | January 20 – February 17



It’s rare you’re short of ideas. But in certain matters you’ve little to say. It is no surprise. At the moment the focus is on what doesn’t work and, perhaps, must go. This is clearing the way for the fresh perspective that accompanies the Aquarius New Moon, in a month’s time.


Pisces | February 18 – March 19



Sooner or later you’ll have to get to the bottom of certain complex, and as yet mysterious, situations. While, as a Piscean, you have infinite patience with such matters, these are of increasing importance to you. Let others know you’ll soon be asking a few in depth questions.
