Horoscope: March 7, 2016

Your stars today

Aries | March 20 – April 18



Since early January, your ruler Mars has been positioned in the cautious, compulsive Scorpio. While you’ve achieved a huge amount, you won’t be disappointed to learn that its move into your fellow fire sign of Sagittarius marks the end of that dutiful cycle and begins one that will prove far more exciting.

Taurus | April 19 – May 19



With the Sun, Mercury and this week’s eclipsed New Moon all accenting crucial decisions, life is bound to be interesting. However, you’ll have virtually no control over these matters. While plans will be up to others, you needn’t worry. The individuals in question have your best interests at heart.

Gemini | May 20 – June 19



As an inquisitive Gemini, you thrive on change and have a far better tolerance for uncertainty than most signs. Yet even you are concerned that certain pivotal decisions haven’t yet been made. Relax. Even if they had, with ongoing changes, you’d need to rethink things, and probably more than once.

Cancer | June 20 – July 21



For ages you’ve meant to tackle certain arrangements that are as complex as they are irritating. Which is the reason you’ve done nothing. Now that forthright Mars has moved to accent these, you’ll both be in the mood and have the opportunity to say what needs saying and get things rolling.

Leo | July 22 – August 21



Over the past month or two, you’ve tackled and dealt with a range of family and domestic issues, some minor and others as complex as they were significant. This means you’re finally in a position to take a break and focus on matters that are less difficult and far more fun.

Virgo | August 22 – September 21



Although the Virgo Full Moon took place two weeks ago, you’re still thinking about certain issues that arose. These involve changes you’d hoped could be delayed, if not avoided entirely. While, at the time, you dreaded these, since then you’ve realised they aren’t just inevitable, they’re actually in your best interests.

Libra | September 22 – October 21



While you can’t ignore the current intense planetary analysis on practicalities, with your ruler Venus accenting who and what brings you joy, these matters merit just as much attention. Yet again you, as a Libra, are attempting to create balance in your life. It’s challenging, but you’ll find a way.

Scorpio | October 22 – November 20



Usually, you’re the first to bow to practical realities. Yet now, because you’ve strong feelings about certain events or, perhaps, individuals you’re ignoring any such facts. While this may lead to impulsive decisions, because they’re based on something that is deep and true, it’s extremely unlikely you’ll regret them.

Sagittarius | November 21 – December 20



Look back on the past two months, during which Mars was in the most strategic portion of your chart, and you’ll realise how much you learnt, even from tiresome, frustrating or restrictive situations. Still, now that it’s moved into Sagittarius, you’ll welcome the return of feelings of spontaneity and freedom.

Capricorn | December 21 – January 19



As a Capricorn, you’d always rather face and overcome obstacles than do nothing,yet worry about their potential impact. At the moment, however, you’ve no option but to wait until others are in the mood or prepared to join you in tackling certain issues. Move too early and you’ll only complicate matters.

Aquarius | January 20 – February 18



After having made pivotal alterations in your personal life, the time has come to examine the practical side of things. This is good timing, because March is a month of changes, both in circumstances and, even more, in your priorities. Begin thinking these through but the actual decisions can wait.

Pisces | February 19 – March 19



Although every sign is influenced by the eclipsed New Moon, the fact it’s in your sign indicates you’ve reached a turning point. In some cases, the necessary changes will be so clear cut you’ll undertake them immediately. Others will require more thought but, still, you’ll deal with them swiftly.
