Horoscope: March 26, 2016

Your stars today

Aries | March 20 – April 18



Good as things are going, and judging by the spectacular planetary activity of the past week, it’s been very good, you can’t entirely ignore tedious practicalities. Keep this in mind now and over the next few days, so when these rather dull matters arise, you’ll make dealing with them a priority.

Taurus | April 19 – May 19



If your instincts are telling you that even seemingly simple issues need to be approached with enormous tact, you’re right. Actually, with both the Sun and communication planet Mercury in the most strategic portion of your chart, you’ll learn more from observing what’s taking place than by actually getting involved.

Gemini | May 20 – June 19



Few things are more exciting to a Gemini than having a new idea to explore. While ordinarily you’d plunge in and quickly become expert, during this changeable period even you could struggle to keep up. Gather whatever facts you can, but bear in mind these could shift, possibly every day.

Cancer | June 20 – July 21



Being ruled by the Moon, you sense the tides of events triggered by the lunar cycle more than most. Consequently, you’ll have anticipated the sudden changes triggered by March’s two eclipses, especially the most recent one. Now that they’re over, you’ll be considering how to make the best of those changes.

Leo | July 22 – August 21



While you’re by no means a perfectionistic in the same way your neighbouring sign Virgo can be, your own standards are high and uncompromising. So much that you could easily turn the need for minor but necessary changes into a major drama. Don’t argue. They may not thrill you but they’re essential.

Virgo | August 22 – September 21



Only days ago you were concerned about unexpected developments and as unsure about whether certain individuals could be relied on. While the current cycle of fast-paced events and swift decisions is by no means over, now that you’ve worked alongside the individuals in question, you’ve exchanged those doubts for confidence.


Libra | September 22 – October 21



The last thing you’re in a mood for is a confrontation. But if you don’t stand up to one particular individual, and do it in a rather dramatic manner, they’ll continue to run roughshod over certain arrangements you worked hard to organise. They’re aware this could cause problems but don’t care.

Scorpio | October 22 – November 20



For the past months you’ve struggled to avoid altering elements of your daily routine or working life. You regard these changes as unnecessary and fear the resulting chaos. That may be true. Still, soon events will give you no choice. So it’s a matter of doing it now or later, and unwillingly.

Sagittarius | November 21 – December 20



Sooner or later you’ll have to confront one particularly contentious individual about an already complex issue. While ordinarily you’ll try to get such things dealt with as swiftly as possible, you’ve been putting this off. It’s no surprise. The person in question has a cruel streak, something even you find intimidating.

Capricorn | December 21 – January 19



Luck can appear in many forms. At the moment, this involves not so much good fortune for the future but, rather, a welcome solution for an issue that’s been an increasing source of concern. True, this isn’t the way you’d envisioned disentangling yourself. But it will work, and that’s what’s important.

Aquarius | January 20 – February 18



As an air sign, you actually enjoy learning about a new idea, place or activity. Which means the current swift pace could not only leave you feeling rushed but deprived of the pleasure of asking those questions and getting to know the people involved. You will. But now, it’s all about action.

Pisces | February 19 – March 19



Tempting as it is to avoid certain unappealing arrangements entirely, you’d regret it. Not only would others be annoyed, there’s more to these than you realise. It’s not just about those you know but certain intriguing ideas and, even more, the truly interesting people you’d meet.
