Your Stars Today

Aries | March 20 – April 19



For ages you’ve been talking about rethinking elements of your domestic setup or activities out in the world. However, with the coming New Moon accenting these, and bringing a welcome fresh perspective, those ideas will soon turn into action. They won’t necessarily go according to plan. They could, in fact, be better.

Taurus | April 20 – May 20



It’s easy to forget that, exciting as making progress in new plans can be, it also means leaving familiar parts of your life behind. While letting go of certain situations will be a relief, saying farewell to others may seem a wrench. Or it will until you actually do it.

Gemini | May 21 – June 20



The time has come to focus on the practical side of life, especially money matters. It’s not so much that there’s a problem as changes in the circumstances around you could, if ignored, become into problems. Focus on them right away, however, and you’ll be able to turn them to your advantage.

Cancer | June 21 – July 22



Sooner or later you’ll need to talk over issues you’ve been diplomatically ignoring. This is primarily because you’re concerned they’d shake up existing arrangements. Yet, these are becoming increasingly burdensome, which means that soon, something will have to give. You can organise those changes now, and for when it suits you.

Leo | July 23 – August 22



As a fire sign, you’d always rather confront an issue and deal with it right away than wonder what’s what. But you’re now short of facts, enough you’d regret swift action and, even more, rapidly made decisions. Instead, involve others in discussing your options. What you learn could change everything.

Virgo | August 23 – September 22



Only days ago, you would have described the setbacks you’re facing as worrying, if not a bit of a disaster. But as you’ve learnt more about the actual situations in question and, even more, certain individuals, it’s becoming clear that the sooner you’re able to extricate yourself, the better.

Libra | September 23 – October 22



Although as a Libra and an air sign, you tend not to be overly sentimental, close relationships are another matter. Which means the changes currently being discussed could rouse concerns about whether certain already stressed alliances will survive. Deep down you realise that, if they don’t, they weren’t meant to.

Scorpio | October 23 – November 21



Last minute changes in plan may be inconvenient, if not outright disruptive. Yet at the same time, you sense they will give you the flexibility necessary to break away from once-rewarding arrangements and seek out something better. Trust those instincts. Events will soon make it clear how right they are.

Sagittarius | November 22 – December 21



Few things frustrate you more than being forced to undertake changes you’re not happy about. Not only is it a compromise, you dislike giving up without a fight. Still, you need to move swiftly. And you needn’t abandon the cause. It’s more a matter of shifting the battleground.

Capricorn | December 22 – January 19



You’re proud of your ability to impose order on life, from a single day’s plans to complex arrangements that span a significant length of time. Yet judging by the coming weeks’ unsettling planetary activity, even you, at your most canny, will find that you must rethink things, and often.

Aquarius | January 20 – February 17



Most Aquarians are easygoing about differences, even in situations where striking an accord with others seems unlikely. Yet now, even you are getting a bit wound up about one particular matter. This has triggered your powerful feelings about fair play. Take a stand on this. You’ll be glad you did.

Pisces | February 18 – March 19



Don’t make the mistake of assuming that just because you’ve already discussed both your views on certain matters and your long term intentions, these will be remembered. People are often inattentive or simply forget. Be prepared to repeat your words, and quite possibly, more than once.
