Horoscope: March 21, 2016

Your stars today

Aries | March 20 – April 18



The Sun’s move into Aries will boost both your spirits and energy level. Welcome as this is, resist the temptation to tackle persistent issues head on. However confident you are you’ve got your facts right, what you learn during the week’s second half could necessitate a top to bottom rethink.

Taurus | April 19 – May 19



Not only does the current planetary setup indicate you’re in a cycle that’s about waiting and watching, and sidestepping action, the coming eclipse is also about this subtle approach to events. Tempting as it is to make a move, you’ll soon realise why you’re better off keeping a low profile.

Gemini | May 20 – June 19



Of the twelve signs, you rarely struggle with issues about who’s in charge of what. From your perspective, if others are eager to bear the burden of taking the lead, more power to them. Still, you could find that suddenly you’re concerned about whether certain arrangements are being handled wisely.

Cancer | June 20 – July 21



There’s long been talk about rethinking elements of your way of living, working or both, but nothing has gelled. Between this week’s planetary setup and eclipse, both of which accent such matters, changes are likely to occur swiftly and be dramatic. So much, initially you may feel overwhelmed. Still, they’re in your best interests.

Leo | July 22 – August 21



After having put up with changing circumstances, you’re ready for a break. You’ll get it, but not in the form you hoped. While you’d prefer to return to the routine you know, events are taking you into new, and temporarily unsettling, territory. The sooner you begin exploring this, the better.

Virgo | August 22 – September 21



Although the Virgo Full Moon was a month ago, you’re still dealing with both the intense feelings it triggered and the changes you realised were necessary. While many of those are in place, others remain a source of confusion, if not concern. Take it slowly. Some simply need more time.

Libra | September 22 – October 21



You’re by no means a control freak. Yet judging the current intense focus on the portion of your chart that accents joint ventures, you could be concerned that, in certain matters, others have too much power. While it’s true, they’re virtually in charge, they’re both knowledgeable and their intentions are good.

Scorpio | October 22 – November 20



Every sign will have benefited in some way from last week’s link between fortunate Jupiter and your ruler Pluto but, obviously, the ideas or offers that came your way were probably amazing. True, some could seem disruptive if not worrying. Still, explore these. You’ll soon realise how exciting those changes are.

Sagittarius | November 21 – December 20



For some weeks you’ve benefited from a range of wonderful but often unexpected events. With your ruling planet Jupiter having been involved in a series of potent aspects with other planets, this is no surprise. While some of these are already planned, others will require, and deserve, more time and thought.

Capricorn | December 21 – January 19



While, obviously, you fully understand the importance of discussing existing arrangements and future plans, recently there’s been way too much talk and not enough action. Frustrating as this has been, when things start moving swiftly, this week, you’ll be relieved you know how others feel, and have certain crucial facts to hand.

Aquarius | January 20 – February 18



Because you’ve a knack for diplomatically avoiding clashes over who’ll be making decisions, only those who know you best are aware of your ferocious independent streak. However, now that certain matters are in the hands of others, you’ll need to speak up soon or fume in silence.

Pisces | February 19 – March 19



In many circumstances, leaving decisions to others is a relief. This is especially true in matters that involve a lot of boring detail and very little creativity. Still, be conscious that you’re unlikely to be thrilled by the results of combining an unimaginative individual and an already dull situation.
