Horoscope: March 18, 2016

Your stars today

Aries | March 20 – April 18



This isn’t the first time you’ve wrestled with situations in which others wanted to organise plans in detail while you felt an overall picture was more than enough. Waste no time arguing about these matters. Simply do as much as you think necessary. Soon events will show how right you were.

Taurus | April 19 – May 19



Ordinarily you’d be right to question what’s behind the decisions of others. Now, however, things are moving too swiftly for any such discussions. What’s more, with two eclipses, last week and on the 23rd, triggering sudden and often exciting changes, everybody will be making, and rethinking, plans at the last minute.

Gemini | May 20 – June 19



While you’re facing a range of contentious issues, circumstances are preventing you from actually dealing with them. Since you’re short of facts, so that’s for the best. The trick is to explore your options, inform others what you’d like to do, then bide your time until you’re ready to make your move.

Cancer | June 20 – July 21



You’re in the run up to the Full Moon, in a few days’ time. This heightens your feelings. What’s more, it’s an eclipse, so change is in the air. Explore everything that appears, conscious that you’ll learn from it all, and that showing interest by no means indicates you’re making a commitment.

Leo | July 22 – August 21



On Sunday, your ruler the Sun moves into your fellow fire sign of Aries, ending a period during which you’ve focused on crucial but dull practicalities. While you’ve put most to rest, a few remain undone. Deal with them now, before you’re distracted by the coming week’s more intriguing developments.

Virgo | August 22 – September 21



Looking back on the events of the past month, during which the Sun, the Virgo Full Moon and last week’s eclipse all focused on close alliances, you realise how much you’d dealt with, learnt and accomplished. Tackle any remaining issues now, before the Sun moves into a new sign on Sunday.

Libra | September 22 – October 21



Planning ahead may be a virtue. However, Wednesday’s powerful Libra eclipsed Full Moon is bound to trigger changes in circumstances and, equally, in your thinking and priorities. What’s more, even the simplest of arrangements will need a rethink. Begin now, by reviewing and eliminating certain increasingly unrewarding arrangements.

Scorpio | October 22 – November 20



When you need time to think, that’s a priority. But now, certain individuals are convinced you need to collect those thoughts, make a plan and move swiftly. You disagree. Actually, they’re right. With the Sun and Mercury shifting into new positions over the coming days, circumstances could change, possibly overnight.

Sagittarius | November 21 – December 20



The last thing you want to do is deal with a range of issues, all minor and all involving the changes now reshaping your life and the circumstances of others. You’re rather hoping as events unfold those contentious matters will resolve themselves. They won’t. The sooner you tackle them, the better.

Capricorn | December 21 – January 19



Appealing as the offers coming your way may be, you’re wary. When things are too easy, you worry that there will be problems later. However, these developments were triggered by the splendid link between fortunate Jupiter and Pluto, which is positioned in Capricorn, and are just as good as they seem.

Aquarius | January 20 – February 18



The phrase ‘steep learning curve’ is often used to describe a period that’s as challenging as, ultimately, it will prove informative. However, while the cycle you’re now beginning will, indeed, be amazingly informative, and in many ways, by no means will it be difficult. On the contrary, you’ll rather enjoy it.

Pisces | February 19 – March 19



Few things make you happier than surprising somebody you care about. The individual in question can be a friend, family member or even colleague. And the surprise can be minor or of major significance. Now, certain individuals are experiencing great stress and in no mood for surprises of any kind.
