Horoscope: March 3, 2016

Your stars today

Aries | March 20 – April 18



View the rather tedious but inescapable issues you’re dealing with as a way of decluttering your life and your goals, and you’ll tackle them with enthusiasm. Even more important, the existing commitments and future plans you eliminate now are clearing the way for the coming week’s sudden, and thrilling, developments.

Taurus | April 19 – May 19



Watching arrangements you worked hard to create come undone both saddens you and leaves you wondering what’s next. The future’s worryingly unclear. What you can do, however, is think of times of transition in the past when the future seemed equally bleak. Things worked out then, and they will now.

Gemini | May 20 – June 19



Because you’ve a talent for adapting to life’s twists and turns, you’ve adjusted both your existing arrangements and future plans as the circumstances in question have changed. That’s wise. However, it’s worth discussing this with those around you, otherwise they could misinterpret your intentions or, worse, consider you to be unreliable.

Cancer | June 20 – July 21



For ages there’s been talk of changes in elements of your daily existence or working life, but nothing has come of it. Now, suddenly, things are beginning to move, and more swiftly than you’d anticipated. Tempting as it is to try to slow the pace, take things as they come. You’ve nothing to worry about.

Leo | July 22 – August 21



Few things annoy you more than having to bow to the decisions of somebody you don’t respect. Judging by the current planetary setup, however, you’ve no choice. Instead of giving in grudgingly, discuss your concerns openly. At minimum, you’ll learn something. But your opinion of the individual in question may improve.

Virgo | August 22 – September 21



Planning ahead is efficient and means you can use your time wisely. But with eclipses shaking things up twice this month, in a few days’ time, on the 9th and again on the 23rd, even the simplest of plans won’t last long. Knowing that, ensure what you organise can be easily changed.

Libra | September 22 – October 21



Somebody seems to have found a way to make you feel guilty when there’s absolutely no justification for it. Worse, they have you convinced even mentioning the issue in question would be distressing. Confront them and, while they may pretend to be upset, you’ll soon see through them and their theatrics.

Scorpio | October 22 – November 20



As a canny Scorpio, you’ll usually gather your facts before you raise an issue. While that’s wise, with the actual circumstances you’re dealing with shifting, sometimes on a daily basis, this simply isn’t realistic. Instead of working things out beforehand, view discussions as an exchange in which everybody offers information and ideas.

Sagittarius | November 21 – December 20



The eclipsed New Moon, on the 9th, accents your way of living and working. Consequently, big changes are on their way. Actually, these are unlikely to be a surprise. If anything, the eclipse will lead to breakthroughs in plans or projects you’ve had in mind and, possibly, already started on.

Capricorn | December 21 – January 19



True, often, there’s a great deal to be learnt from the process of overcoming obstacles. This is especially the case now, and particularly applies to situations in which you feel you have a mission. You’ll soon discover how irrational the decisions involved are, fortunately while you can still change them.

Aquarius | January 20 – February 18



Obviously life is easier if you can make a single, far reaching, plan then proceed with turning that vision into reality. But the coming weeks will be full of the variety of twists and turns that defeat even the simplest of arrangements. Knowing that, ensure those plans are flexible.

Pisces | February 19 – March 19



Judging by the tense aspect between the planet of communication, Mercury, and forthright Mars, even simple discussions could turn into heated exchanges. While, initially, this may worry you, it will soon be clear these are worthwhile. They are, in fact, about acknowledging and dealing with misunderstandings, both past and present.
