Horoscope: February 9, 2016
Your stars today
Aries | March 20 – April 19
When those you’re close to at work, or as friends, tell you about changes they’re planning on making, you could think this means they want you to be involved. While they might, it’s just as likely they’re merely chatting about their ideas, no more. Check this out now, before things get confused.
Taurus | April 20 – May 20
Being ruled by harmonious Venus, you avoid unnecessary clashes. But every once in a while, the stubborn character of a particular individual gives you no choice but to take a tough line. Do exactly that. This is no time for tact. The more forthright you are, the better.
Gemini | May 21 – June 20
By no means are you rigid in your thinking. Yet your experience of certain situations or, indeed, certain individuals has been so bad you’ve no interest in going back for more. While that’s understandable, either circumstances have changed or the individual in question has. Enough it’s worth giving things a try.
Cancer | June 21 – July 22
It would be easy to allow one particular issue to turn into a power struggle between you and the individual in question. The real problem is that you haven’t actually discussed the matter in depth, mostly out of fear of making things worse. On the contrary. This will clear things up instantly.
Leo | July 23 – August 22
While you would never deliberately lie to anybody, you’ll often sidestep complicated issues, mostly because discussing them would take so long. The problem is, somebody regards that as being deceptive. Waste no time explaining you were trying to simplify matters. Instead, apologise and put it all behind you.
Virgo | August 23 – September 22
Few things annoy you more than dealing with those who approach practical matters from an emotional perspective. However, not only are certain individuals like that, they’re not going to change. This leaves you no option but to at least listen to their views. Bizarrely, some could be informative, if not amazingly illuminating.
Libra | September 23 – October 22
Certain individuals are clever at getting others to say more than they intend to. This happened, and you’re worrying they’ll repeat your words to those who they’d upset. That’s possible. Knowing that, discuss the particular matter with the individuals in question first. It will be far easier than you expect.
Scorpio | October 23 – November 21
Initially, the changes being discussed seemed simple. Better yet, there’d be minimal disruption. Since then, however, the plan has expanded further than you anticipated, and to a point that now worries you. Unsettling as they’d be, there’s no question these changes aren’t just timely, they’re essential. Undertake them now.
Sagittarius | November 22 – December 21
Progress isn’t just about new plans and ideas going well, which they will be. It’s also about decluttering your life, plans and mind of past ventures that haven’t been successful, and are unlikely to be in the future. The fact is, a part of you still hopes these will work out. They won’t.
Capricorn | December 22 – January 19
You rightly pride yourself on your ability to remain clear-minded in even the most unsettling of situations. However, the recent Full Moon stirred a depth of feelings you rarely experience. Instead of dismissing these, as you might tend to do, delve into them. They offer powerful, and important, insights.
Aquarius | January 20 – February 17
While the tolerant side of your nature might brush off the irritating remarks of others as being unimportant, it’s worth addressing these. They’re based on misunderstandings of which you’re unaware. Discuss these frankly and you’ll not only overcome them, the process of talking things through will help rekindle your relationship.
Pisces | February 18 – March 19
Usually you’ve a gift for tolerating even the most annoying habits of others. But recently you’ve been short-tempered, so much so, you’re now feeling guilty. Both their antics and your over-reaction to them was due to the recent Full Moon. Now that it’s over, everybody will be much calmer.
