Horoscope: March 1, 2016

Your stars today

Aries | March 20 – April 18



The slow pace at which many plans and projects are moving is annoying. These delays are the result of a range of unexpected changes and complications. They may be hampering progress but, ironically, they’re giving you time to double-check certain questionable arrangements while you can still rethink them.

Taurus | April 19 – May 19



Although you’re always interested in others’ ideas, that doesn’t mean you’ve any intention of taking their advice. Still, don’t dismiss these without at least listening to what the individuals in question have to say. While, separately, they may not make much sense, you’ll pick up useful hints from each one.

Gemini | May 20 – June 19



Ordinarily you rather enjoy a lively debate, and you don’t mind if things become somewhat heated. At the moment, this is likely. What’s more, certain individuals are keeping vital information to themselves. Once they become agitated, the odds are good they’ll slip and reveal the full facts.

Cancer | June 20 – July 21



It’s understandable that you’d rather wait until the current cycle of intense change slows down before you make crucial decisions. However, with two eclipses shaking things up during the month of March, that would mean putting off arrangements for several weeks. Make plans. Just ensure that they’re flexible.

Leo | July 22 – August 21



Of the twelve signs, you’re amongst those least likely to give up when the going gets tough. However, what seem obstacles to be overcome are actually situations that need to be thought through, if not come to an end. You’ve suspected this for ages. Now, the time for change has come.

Virgo | August 22 – September 21



Ordinarily you enjoy imposing order on situations in which there’s disarray. However, those you’re currently facing are so complex you’re unsure where to begin. That’s because this isn’t about tidying things up but rather, about rethinking arrangements, and from top to bottom. It’s the only approach that makes sense.

Libra | September 22 – October 21



Change is in the air. You can feel it and, from your perspective, those changes would be a relief. However, the turning point is the Libra eclipsed Full Moon, on the 23rd. While you won’t know the full facts until then, for now, you can focus on decluttering your thinking and your life activities.

Scorpio | October 22 – November 20



Unlikely as it seems now, splendid good fortune is due to appear in your life. Expect this mid-month, when bountiful Jupiter superbly aspects your ruler Pluto. And what to do until then? Clear the way for these wonderful events by ruthlessly eliminating once promising but outdated, if not disappointing, plans and passions.

Sagittarius | November 21 – December 20



The current intense planetary emphasis on the structure of your life, at home and out in the world, has already led to a profitable analysis of your activities and priorities. This is good timing, because within days you’ll need to make swift decisions about tempting, but unexpected, ideas or offers.

Capricorn | December 21 – January 19



Accepting changes in elements of your work or lifestyle are coming is one thing. That a major element of the timing and extent of those changes is up to somebody else concerns you. Logical as this is, the individual in question is well informed and has your best interests in mind.

Aquarius | January 20 – February 18



Usually you’re the first to come up with a clever way either around obstacles or, perhaps, an entirely new approach to tricky situations. Yet, bizarrely, you’re short of inspiration. That’s as it should be now, in the run up to March’s two eclipses, which will trigger those changes for you.

Pisces | February 19 – March 19



In early January the energetic Mars began a cycle that was about exploration of every variety from intriguing ideas to travel. However, you’ve accomplished frustratingly little. Don’t worry. Once Mars moves into the most decisive part of your chart, on the 6th, you’ll begin turning those ideas into action.
