Your Stars Today

Aries | March 20 – April 18



It would be no surprise if you felt the only way one particular issue can be settled is by confronting the individual in question. While they’re aware there’s something amiss, they worry it’s their fault. Discuss the situation frankly, and as soon as possible. You’ll be surprised how easily you’ll resolve it.

Taurus | April 19 – May 19



If you’re being logical, you know that often future plans must be taken in stages. But, still, you’d rather organise what’s next before you make changes that mean saying a final farewell to certain familiar arrangements. Appealing as that variety of reassurance is, it comes only as a result of taking action.

Gemini | May 20 – June 19



You’re in the unenviable position of having to tell somebody they’re not as important as they think they are. Obviously, for you, as a charming, easygoing Gemini, this is a nightmare. But actually, you’ll be able to address this issue with a light touch yet, and at the same time, be frank.

Cancer | June 20 – July 21



Often letting go of longstanding arrangements or alliances is painful. Only a short while ago you’d have felt that way about the changes currently taking place. Yet instead, you’re feeling a growing sense of relief and freedom. This is no surprise. These have outlived their usefulness. It’s time they come to an end.

Leo | July 22 – August 21



The trick to dealing with situations in which things are moving swiftly but you’re short of facts, is to include others. Get them to help you gather whatever information is available. But, even more, get them so involved in decision-making that they’ll be equally responsible for the outcome.

Virgo | August 22 – September 21



Although you’re not stubborn by nature, certain matters and, indeed, certain alliances are dear to your heart. So much so, you’re reluctant to discuss changes and would never consider letting them go. But these need frank analysis. While they’ll continue, those discussions will lead to a long overdue rethink.

Libra | September 22 – October 21



Certain individuals test your patience. You know this, but still feel concerned when you speak sharply to them. While this is out of character for you, the individual in question annoys everybody else to some degree too. As a result, they regard uptight exchanges of this nature as perfectly normal.

Scorpio | October 22 – November 20



It would be easy to mistake the sly activities of one particular individual as worrying, especially because you’d recently had to acknowledge somebody was underhand in their dealings with you. However, not everyone is that way. Instead of brooding about this, ask. You’ll be amazed, and relieved, by the answer you get.

Sagittarius | November 21 – December 20



As a Sagittarius, you have a powerful idealistic streak, which means you dislike admitting those you admire have flaws or, worse, may have failed you. But this could well be the case. Everybody falls short from time to time. You have, and others will. It’s part of being human.

Capricorn | December 21 – January 19



As exciting as dealing with somebody who’s passionate about what they do may be, their impulsive streak worries you. Bear in mind, however, that when your earthy nature is combined with their fiery approach to life, there are few obstacles that can’t be overcome. In fact, miracles are possible.

Aquarius | January 20 – February 18



The last thing you want to do is accuse somebody of wrongdoing when your facts are limited or unreliable. Yet if you don’t say something right away, new and perhaps worrying arrangements could be organised. Be frank about your concerns, but base them on practical issues. That should do for now.

Pisces | February 19 – March 19



Forgiving unfair or unkind behaviour is difficult, especially for you as an idealistic Pisces. Yet before you even think of discussing this with others, it’s worth considering the fact that not everybody has your high standards. In fact, certain individuals would regard what was done as perfectly acceptable.
