Horoscope: January 30, 2016

Your stars today


Shelley Von Strunckel January 30, 2016

Aries | March 20 – April 18



When you recently sidestepped certain already complex issues, it was partly because you felt everything that could be said had already been discussed. While that may have been true then, things have changed. More than you realise. Raise matters now. What you learn will be a surprise and a relief.

Taurus | April 19 – May 19



Watching arrangements you’ve struggled to organise come undone is no fun. Yet deep down you’re aware that, sooner or later, these would have needed to be rethought. Bizarre as leaving things in chaos seems, it’s the best strategy. The fewer plans you make now, the broader your range of options.

Gemini | May 20 – June 19



Although the New Moon was nearly a week ago, you’re still benefitting from the insights it brought in certain previously perplexing areas of your life. While this fresh perspective has meant rethinking plans, past and present, you’re still exploring options that until recently you were unaware of or simply didn’t exist.

Cancer | June 20 – July 21



Obviously you’d rather find a diplomatic way around certain issues. But that’s not only unrealistic, if a lasting accord is to be achieved, the issues in question must be discussed frankly. Although others are by no means prepared for this now, the next few days’ events could change their thinking.

Leo | July 22 – August 21



Last minute changes are always annoying, but that’s especially true now. The primary reason is because recent unexpected developments have meant rethinking arrangements, and more than once. The trick is to take things one day at a time. While not everything will get done, you’ll be amazed how much does.

Virgo | August 22 – September 21



Out of character as plunging into a new plan without much research or discussion may be, that’s exactly what you’re doing. With things moving so swiftly, it really is a matter of now or never. While there’s no guaranteeing this will work, at least you’ll have given it a try.


Libra | September 22 – October 21



Yet again you find yourself facing conflicts because, with your amazing gift for understanding what others are going through, siding with any one person or situation is impossible. The fact is, there’s no need to state your loyalties. Ensure others know that, whatever the outcome, you support them personally.

Scorpio | October 22 – November 20



Tempting as it is to have the final word in a highly charged, and persistent, debate, you’d regret it. While it’s possible that you have your facts wrong, the real problem is that you’re dealing with somebody who’s superb at twisting words so they serve their purpose. Say nothing more.

Sagittarius | November 21 – December 20



Few things are more infuriating than discovering somebody you thought was being forthright was actually keeping vital facts under wraps. From their perspective this was simply being cautious, from yours it’s both irritating and dishonest. Difficult as it is, overlook your annoyance and focus on getting those facts.

Capricorn | December 21 – January 19



As you’ve undoubtedly already noticed, what should have been simple arrangements have turned into confusing dramas, if not very real problems. Still, you’re better off these have arisen now, while you’re in a position to rethink things, than later. Take advantage of this to explore your options. You’ll be glad you did.

Aquarius | January 20 – February 18



Diplomacy is a useful skill, one most Aquarians have in abundance. Now, however, you’ve no choice but to be blunt, if not actually confront somebody in particular. It’s not that the situation in question is so complex but that, for reasons of their own, this individual will do everything possible to avoid it.

Pisces | February 19 – March 19



It’s happened before. However, yet again, you’ve convinced yourself that certain situations or, possibly, certain individuals are reliable when experience proves, they’re not. This isn’t a secret and, in fact, others have reminded you of problems in the past. Yet you insist this time it will be different. That’s unlikely.
