Horoscope: May 29, 2016

Your stars today

Aries | March 20 – April 19



Ordinarily one of your strengths is your refusal to allow either obstacles or the negative attitude of others to undermine your confidence. However, in one or two crucial situations, you’ll need to think things through carefully. Tedious as this analysis may be, do it now and you’ll avoid disasters later.

Taurus | April 20 – May 20



As a practical Taurus, making tentative plans seems a waste of time. Yet in certain matters you’ve no choice. Aggravating as this is, ensuring arrangements are flexible allows you to explore new, exciting and, often, entirely unexpected ideas as they arise. This applies to this, but to several other situations, as well.

Gemini | May 21 – June 20



Planning ahead is a virtue, that’s true. But in your case it’s difficult, mostly because you’re uncharacteristically unclear about your objectives. Actually, this is no surprise. You’re better off taking it slowly, since things probably won’t come together until the next Sunday’s Gemini New Moon. After that, everything will be clear.

Cancer | June 21 – July 22



For weeks you’ve been sidestepping certain matters in the hope they’d simply remain a nuisance. Obviously, you won’t be thrilled they’re turning into full-blown problems. Still, at least this justifies raising the issues with those involved, and even more important, beginning the process of seeking a workable solution.

Leo | July 23 – August 22



Few things annoy you more than those who insist on having the last word and, worse, who refuse even to consider the possibility their views could be wrong. Yet not only is that the case, you must deal with them regularly. Say nothing. The facts will emerge, and in their own time.

Virgo | August 23 – September 22



Ordinarily, it’s you who insists others deal with the details precisely. However, it appears you’ve met your match. The individual in question may be even more compulsive about such matters than you are. This won’t just be an interesting experience, it could make you question your need to get things right.

Libra | September 23 – October 22



When you really care about somebody, you tend to be forgiving, even about characteristics that in others would annoy, if not upset you. Now, however, you could find you must address this with one of those who’re closest. Say nothing and, should things get worse, they’ll ask why you didn’t speak up earlier.

Scorpio | October 23 – November 21



At the time you sidestepped discussion of certain potentially troublesome situations - they were neither pressing nor were they likely to influence others. Now things have changed and not only is it important that certain individuals be informed about these, it’s vital you get them involved in the decision-making process.

Sagittarius | November 22 – December 21



In early March the dynamic Mars moved into Sagittarius. Since then, you’ve done a lot. It’s now returned to the most reflective portion of your chart, triggering a review both of your activities and of your future plans. Initially this may seem a distraction but you’ll soon realise how crucial that review is.

Capricorn | December 22 – January 19



It’s not that you’ve avoided discussing certain joint ventures but, rather, other matters have taken priority. However, now that there’s a powerful planetary emphasis on these, you must act swiftly. This means talking talk them over, making decisions and taking action, and all within a very short period of time.

Aquarius | January 20 – February 17



Don’t make the mistake of assuming that just because you live with, or are related to, certain individuals, they’re aware of the domestic or family issues you’ve been facing. They may, in fact, have unwittingly complicated matters. Raise and discuss these dilemmas now, while changes can still be made.

Pisces | February 18 – March 19



One of the most challenging things for you to do is leave plans unfinished. The real problem is that, as somebody who’s a bit of a perfectionist, you could keep tinkering on details forever. But things are moving swiftly, and you’ve no choice but to turn these over to others.
