Horoscope: February 24, 2016

Your stars today

Aries | March 20 – April 18



For ages certain individuals have been telling you to take things in one particular situation slowly. While you’ve huffed and puffed about it, despite your efforts, the pace has remained very measured indeed. Now, after all your pacing and impatience, things are coming together when those individuals said they would.

Taurus | April 19 – May 19



Although the Full Moon has already taken place, you’re still experiencing the fallout, in the form of unresolved issues involving close friends or loved ones. Rather than try to resolve these yourself, discuss your concerns frankly. You’ll be surprised and delighted to discover others are far less concerned than you feared.

Gemini | May 20 – June 19



There’s been considerable talk about timely but unsettling changes in your domestic setup. While you’ve been thinking about these for ages, actually undertaking them seems overwhelming, at least now. Tempting as it is to talk ideas through with others, it will only heighten those anxieties. For now, reflect on them in silence.

Cancer | June 20 – July 21



It’s said that, as a sensitive water sign, you’re better at tuning in to your intuition than others. That’s true. However, trusting those feelings is another matter entirely, especially when what you sense involves crucial decisions. If your doubts are overwhelming, ensure you can alter commitments, should it be necessary.

Leo | July 22 – August 21



There are many ways to approach the rather tricky discussions you must have with others. While you could approach these already difficult issues gradually, this increases the likelihood you’ll be misunderstood. Being blunt could upset a few people, but at least there’ll be no question where you, or they, stand.

Virgo | August 22 – September 21



While every Virgo has a deep romantic streak, revealing those feelings is another matter. Although, from your perspective, one particular individual must know how much you care, they may not. In fact, you might have caused confusion. Tell them again. It can’t hurt and could make a huge difference.

Libra | September 22 – October 21



With the Sun positioned to accent your personal priorities and obligations, you’ll be juggling conflicts between what you feel you should do and certain intriguing offers or opportunities. Don’t rush into decisions. Although, at the moment, it seems you can’t do both, within days you’ll realise you can, and without juggling.

Scorpio | October 22 – November 20



It’s a tricky week. The plans you worked hard to organise aren’t falling apart, but also they’re not exactly thriving. This is good timing. Although, mostly, these arrangements are sound, a few actually do need thought, if not serious examination. Do that now, while your ideas can be easily changed.

Sagittarius | November 21 – December 20



Your knack for turning even very challenging developments into opportunities isn’t just a distinctly Sagittarian characteristic, it’s the envy of others. Yet some of what you’re currently facing has thrown you, at least for now. Be patient. By mid-March your ruler Jupiter’s brilliant link to Pluto will bring welcome surprises.

Capricorn | December 21 – January 19



Being a cautious earth sign, usually you’re telling those who want to discuss their intuitive feelings to back up them up with hard facts. Yet now you’ve a strong sense about certain people, plans or ventures but, similarly, are lacking facts. Stick to those instincts. And learn from this experience.

Aquarius | January 20 – February 18



Few things are more exciting than a sudden inspiration or an unexpected offer. Yet at the same time, you’re aware that pursuing these would mean undertaking disruptive changes. That, alone, is casting a shadow over your enthusiasm. Still, in the past you’ve faced similarly disruptive changes, and they weren’t that bad.

Pisces | February 19 – March 19



Few things are as tedious as dealing with somebody who has absolutely no imagination. However, it’s happened to you before and, judging by the current planetary setup, is again. Waste no time trying to inspire them with your ideas. Simply explain your plans, point by point, and leave it at that.
