Horoscope: March 2, 2016

Your stars today

Aries | March 20 – April 18



The last thing you’re in the mood to do is have conversation that will be as lengthy as it will be dull. However, this particular individual is better informed than you are about certain increasingly tricky situations. Make your questions precise and frank, and they’ll respond with clarity and welcome brevity.

Taurus | April 19 – May 19



As a down to earth Taurus, you tend to tune out the chatter of those you’re fond of, but whose views about the world and life’s practicalities are totally unrealistic. While that may be true most of the time, what seem crackpot ideas may be far more worthwhile than you realise.

Gemini | May 20 – June 19



Clearly, change is coming. Knowing that, you’d rather begin making plans, if not actually undertake some of those changes, right away. Do so if you must, but bear in mind that the events triggered by the eclipsed New Moon, in a week’s time, could substantially alter the situations you’re dealing with.

Cancer | June 20 – July 21



Because you’re more tuned to the lunar cycle than most, you’re probably already sensing the shakeups that March’s two eclipses, on the 9th and 23rd, will trigger. While these influence everybody equally, you can begin preparing now. Those who’re ready for exciting changes will spot their promise first, and so benefit most.

Leo | July 22 – August 21



There’s a fine line between realising you’ve made unwise decisions and giving up. The real issue is that your Leo pride prevents you acknowledging you were wrong. Difficult as it is, do that and you’ll soon be discussing the nature of the problems you’re facing and, more important, potential solutions.

Virgo | August 22 – September 21



Ordinarily you’ve a knack for devising quick solutions for even very complicated dilemmas. Try that now, and you’ll only need to rethink things, and within days. This has nothing to do with the quality of your ideas. Rather, with changes continuing all month, even the cleverest of plans is unlikely to last long.

Libra | September 22 – October 21



You’ve been juggling several tricky situations, each of which involves a combination of practical matters and tending to certain rather large egos. While, in some cases, there’s good reason to invest your time and, possibly, heart in these, others aren’t that important. In fact, a few aren’t worth the effort.

Scorpio | October 22 – November 20



At the moment, the distinction between making decisions and finalising those arrangements is an important one. Obviously, you’d rather make plans that you’re sure will last. But with March’s two eclipses shaking things up, even the simplest of arrangements will need rethinking. Knowing that, waste no time working out minor details.

Sagittarius | November 21 – December 20



Yet again, you seem to have encountered somebody who’s incapable of making a decision without having all the facts, and time to analyse each of them. Usually that wouldn’t matter but, you’re involved, so it does. They can’t be rushed. Knowing that, busy yourself elsewhere until they’ve thought everything through.

Capricorn | December 21 – January 19



Both your objectives, and the plans you’ve made to achieve them, seem clear cut. But between eclipses, on the 9th and later in March, and powerful planetary activity in your sign, things won’t be as straightforward as you anticipate. Knowing that, ensure you can easily rethink those plans should it be necessary.

Aquarius | January 20 – February 18



Doing nothing while others make errors seems unkind. Yet you’ve already discussed their intentions, and you’ve given both feedback and suggestions. These are now being ignored, which is the reason you’re concerned. The individual in question resists taking advice but, instead, needs to learn from their mistakes. It’s that simple.

Pisces | February 19 – March 19



While you can’t prepared for the unexpected, which is what the Pisces eclipsed New Moon, on the 9th, promises, you can begin considering which elements of your life are in need of a change. You may already have undertaken some. Still, the coming week’s events will add some spice to the process.
