Horoscope: March 17, 2016

Your stars today

Aries | March 20 – April 18



Only days ago you were at odds with several individuals about a range of matters. Intense as these seemed at the time, you were able to deal with most surprisingly swiftly. That’s because they weren’t actually about conflicts but, rather, involved changes so sudden they caught everybody by surprise.

Taurus | April 19 – May 19



Every once in a while you must back off and allow others to make decisions independently. That means without discussion or advice. This may seem unwise. However, certain individuals know more than they think, but won’t realise what that is until they work things out on their own.

Gemini | May 20 – June 19



Judging by the past week’s planetary focus, you’ve dealt with a range of tasks, small and large, that involve your domestic setup and life out in the world. You’ve accomplished a great deal, so much you’re ready for a break. You’ll soon get it. Before then, tackle those few remaining matters.

Cancer | June 20 – July 21



Recently, you’d have been anxious about even the mention of far-reaching changes in elements of your life. But now, you’re beginning to recognise they’re overdue. What’s more, what seemed minor shifts in circumstances only days ago are growing in influence and, you suspect, will happen more swiftly than anybody anticipated.

Leo | July 22 – August 21



Intriguing ideas or, even better, exciting offers are in the air. Promising as these are, they would mean relinquishing power to somebody you don’t entirely trust. Still, without the individual in question, things will go nowhere. Besides, once you learn more, you could discover that your concerns are completely unfounded.

Virgo | August 22 – September 21



While you deal deftly with straightforward issues and individuals who’re able to state them clearly, those who ignore facts are another matter. Yet that’s exactly what you’re facing. That being the case, refuse to be rushed into decisions or commitments. The information you need will surface, but not for some days yet.

Libra | September 22 – October 21



For ages you’ve been trying to get those closest, in your personal or working life, to at least show interest in certain ideas or ventures. But they’ve been frustratingly non-committal. Within days the planetary focus shifts, and indicates they’ll not only express their views, they’ll be ready to commit.

Scorpio | October 22 – November 20



Being forced to rethink plans suddenly can be a nightmare. What’s more, you’ve struggled to organise these. Yet the actual foundation on which they’re based is shifting, more than you realise. While you’re undoubtedly tempted to keep things as they are, the sooner you begin exploring recent developments, the better.

Sagittarius | November 21 – December 20



It’s no secret that you’ve wanted to reorganise elements of your life at home or activities out in the world. Yet now that you’re making these changes, you’re shocked how complicated they’re turning out to be. Once you get involved, you’ll find dealing with these details as interesting as it is informative.

Capricorn | December 21 – January 19



As a Capricorn, you’ve long understood the importance of keeping your thoughts to yourself. Say too much and your intentions can easily be misinterpreted. However, the current swift pace demands a different strategy. You must be frank about your objectives and encourage others to talk about what they have in mind.

Aquarius | January 20 – February 18



When you were wrestling with recent disagreements, your priority was putting issues to rest. Now, only days later, you’re probably seeing them in a very different light. The odds are good, in fact, you’ll have learnt something important, of such significance, in fact, you’ll actually be grateful those disputes took place.

Pisces | February 19 – March 19



During periods of unsettling but ultimately worthwhile change, such as this is, you can organise things one day and have those plans thrown into disarray the next. Knowing that, forget about making detailed arrangements. Be more relaxed. That way, when you must make those changes, it will be less of a bother.
