Your Stars Today
Aries | March 20 – April 19
Not only is your ruler Mars accenting ways you can broaden your horizons, via discussion, study or travel, it’s retrograde. This means you’ll have a second chance to explore exciting ideas you once rejected. At least consider these. What you learn about them, and about yourself, will revolutionise your thinking.
Taurus | April 20 – May 20
When you first kept certain facts to yourself, while they had considerable significance to you, they were of little importance to others. Now that things have changed, this information is crucial. Tempting as it is to put off mentioning these, you’d only make things worse. Reveal everything, and the sooner, the better.
Gemini | May 21 – June 20
Although many complain about the period during which your ruling planet Mercury is retrograde, the cycle has its benefits. One that’s especially helpful to you at the moment is what you learn in the process of untangling even minor problems. The more you delve into them, the greater the knowledge.
Cancer | June 21 – July 22
Being a water sign, you’re sensitive to the tides of others’ feelings, and can sometimes use that awareness for everybody’s benefit. You’re now sensing one particular individual is ready to discuss an unspoken issue. They are. Raise it. The warmth of their response will make it clear they’re prepared to talk things over.
Leo | July 23 – August 22
Few things satisfy you more than tackling and resolving a problem. It means you’re able to cross it off your list and focus on other matters. Yet certain individuals aren’t ready to move on. Their desire, to learn more about the circumstances involved and decisions you’ve made is perfectly reasonable.
Virgo | August 23 – September 22
The Full Moon may still be a week away, but because it accents the structure of your life, you may already be thinking about potential changes. Tempting as it is to try to organise things now, you’d only complicate matters. There will be numerous surprise developments before decisions can be regarded as final.
Libra | September 23 – October 22
Since late April, the planetary focus has been on practical, business or financial matters, especially those that involve others. While you’ve discussed and dealt with a great deal, it’s dull. Stick with it. That way, when the focus shifts to intriguing ideas and possibly even travel, you’ll be free to pursue what’s offered.
Scorpio | October 23 – November 21
It makes no difference whether it’s practical or business matters or your personal life, once you make a plan, you prefer to stick with it. Judging by the powerful planetary activity during May’s last half, arrangements will need to be rethought, and often. Knowing that, waste no time on refining details.
Sagittarius | November 22 – December 21
For ages you’ve been sidestepping problems that you’ve dreaded dealing with. While nobody would blame you, the fact is, they’re getting worse. The trick is to ask the advice of those whose views you respect. While you’ll still need to deal with these, others’ suggestions will make it a lot easier.
Capricorn | December 22 – January 19
Even the most passionate of Capricorns, and there are many, tend to be reserved in expressing their feelings. However, the current potent link between Venus and Pluto, which signifies passion, and both emotional and physical intimacy, suggests that it’s time to state your feelings about one particular individual.
Aquarius | January 20 – February 17
From your perspective, as an inquisitive Aquarius, there are few things more delightful than discovering somebody whose world view is very different from yours, yet who’s able to explain their thinking to you. This is exactly what you’re about to encounter, and often in very unexpected situations and settings.
Pisces | February 18 – March 19
Long ago you learnt that often those who demand you prove the value of an idea or concept are being manipulative. However, once again you’ve been drawn into this ruse, and are struggling to justify certain plans. If you believe in these, that’s enough. There’s no need for anybody’s approval.
