Horoscope: March 13, 2016

Your stars today

Aries | March 20 – April 18



Rarely has the planetary setup been more favourable for you, although that doesn’t mean everything will go according to plan. But, with the fortunate Jupiter forming a superb alliance with Pluto in a few days’ time, events as sudden as they are unanticipated could introduce opportunities as thrilling as they are unexpected.

Taurus | April 19 – May 19



When certain individuals undid plans you worked hard to organise, you were irritated by their thoughtlessness and wondered what you could do to restore things to the way they were. Now you’re realising these changes were for the best. Remember this when yet more changes arise over the coming week.

Gemini | May 20 – June 19



There are times when disagreeing with others could provoke tiresome and, possibly, unprofitable battles. Now it will lead to conversations that are as informative as they are lengthy. These discussions aren’t just important. They will ensure that, at long last, everybody has the facts necessary to commit to plans.

Cancer | June 20 – July 21



Planning ahead may be wise. Do too much of it now, however, and you’ll interfere with the golden opportunities introduced by Jupiter’s link with Pluto midweek. It’s so powerful that taking advantage of it means abandoning certain existing arrangements, possibly overnight. Disruptive as this would be, it will be worth it.

Leo | July 22 – August 21



Ordinarily, you wouldn’t bother gathering facts because of a potential problem. Yet one particular individual is so difficult you’re arming yourself with information that will defuse their demands or, worse, challenges. Actually, there’s a better strategy. It’s learning to say “no” in such a forthright manner nobody would dare argue.

Virgo | August 22 – September 21



Tempting as it is to ignore the ideas or offers that so excite others, you’d regret it. The real problem is these, which are influenced by Wednesday’s link between Jupiter, which is in Virgo, and Pluto, may be hugely disruptive, at least for now. Still, the changes they’re introducing are long overdue.

Libra | September 22 – October 21



If ever there was a time to listen to what others have to say, it’s now. They say they want discussion, but actually they’re in an argumentative mood and would turn your words into a contentious issue. Respond, therefore, but as brief as possible. You’ll soon understand why.

Scorpio | October 22 – November 20



There’s talk of ideas as exciting as they’re promising. They’re so intriguing you’re unsure you trust them. Ordinarily, you’d be wise to hesitate before committing. But judging by the rare and superb alliance between Jupiter and your ruler Pluto, in a few days’ time, you’ve every reason for optimism.

Sagittarius | November 21 – December 20



Future plans are thrilling. Exciting as what’s next may be, certain arrangements and alliances from the past need to be dealt with. You may not have given these much thought recently. Still, as things move ahead, you’ll need to disentangle yourself from them before becoming enmeshed in new plans or projects.

Capricorn | December 21 – January 19



No sign cares more about getting things right the first time around. While you’re fascinated to observe those who’ll plunge into unfamiliar situations without much thought, you’ll gather as much information as possible. Still, the ideas or offers that are coming your way are so exciting it’s worth taking a few chances.

Aquarius | January 20 – February 18



Decisions are looming, but you’re unsure what’s what. Things actually are that pressing. Ideally, you’ll sidestep pivotal commitments for now. On the 20th, the Sun moves into the portion of your chart that accents your perspective. After that, your mind will be much clearer and discussions will prove far more fruitful.

Pisces | February 19 – March 19



Between the link between the Sun and your ruler Neptune, in late February and that a few days ago, that the communication planet Mercury and Neptune, you’re viewing your life and the world with greater clarity. This should enable you to make pivotal decisions without struggling or endless debate.
