Your stars today
Your stars today
Aries | March 20 – April 19
It’s time to take a chance on something new, unfamiliar or perhaps risky. While you face most such situations with determination, there are one or two you’ve done all you can to avoid. Now you’ve no choice but to tackle them. Muster your courage. Once you do, you’ll actually enjoy the challenge.
Taurus | April 20 – May 20
Every Full Moon brings feelings to a peak, and because the recent one accented discussion in general, the odds are good certain already tense matters took centre stage. While, at the time, exchanges were difficult if not heated, looking back, you’re relieved to discover they did wonders to clear the air.
Gemini | May 21 – June 20
Don’t be surprised if, suddenly, you’re unexpectedly emotional about crucial decisions regarding practical or financial matters. While the actual situation in question is fairly straightforward, your feelings about it aren’t. From your perspective, what you’re committing to and the outcome is pivotal, so those ups and downs are to be anticipated.
Cancer | June 21 – July 22
Most Cancerians have a talent for getting others involved in decision-making. As a result, should issues arise, there’s usually no problem. Now, however, tact won’t work. You’ll need to take a firm stand over seemingly minor issues or risk these turning into major disputes, and within a very short time.
Leo | July 23 – August 22
The phrase ‘forgive and forget’ is an apt one for you to keep in mind this week. Several issues have reached a turning point, and in some you’ve had to cope with the aggressive attitude or tricky manoeuvres of others. Tempting as it is to challenge them, you’re better off putting it all behind you.
Virgo | August 23 – September 22
Last week your ruler Mercury moved into one of the most sociable portions of your chart. While you’re undoubtedly enjoying catching up with others and learning about their activities, the mood’s uptight if not actually on edge. Although a few issues are crucial, most of them can be ignored.
Libra | September 23 – October 22
This is one of those complex weeks during which even the simplest of arrangements is unlikely to proceed as planned. Knowing that, forget about analysing what went wrong and, instead, focus on coming up with whatever ideas are necessary for things to work out as you intended.
Scorpio | October 23 – November 21
As a painstaking Scorpio, when you make a plan, you’re thorough. So much so it’s rarely necessary to make changes. Judging by the current powerful planetary activity, even the simplest are unlikely to last long. Knowing that, rather than struggle to perfect arrangements, instead ensure they’re flexible enough you can easily rethink them.
Sagittarius | November 22 – December 21
When you left certain details out of plans, you did so on the assumption they wouldn’t matter. While you were correct at the time, things have changed which means you’ll need to revisit those arrangements. Not only must you include the details, changes may mean rethinking the actual plans themselves.
Capricorn | December 22 – January 19
Sometimes progress is about concentration. As you’ve undoubtedly noticed, however, certain of the matters you’re dealing with are the reverse. Rather than being straightforward, there are constant twists and turns. Annoying as this is, the insights you gain will serve you well, now and in the future.
Aquarius | January 20 – February 17
Don’t be surprised if certain unexpected changes rouse unfamiliar and, possibly, odd feelings of anxiety. This may not sound like good news but it is. That’s because this is about breaking habits that are so deeply ingrained you don’t even realise they’re holding you back. Begin now, but in small ways.
Pisces | February 18 – March 19
If others say they can’t make sense of your ideas or, worse, disagree with your vision of what’s possible, politely but firmly end the conversation. If you want to remain in contact, great. Just steer clear of them or anybody else who questions your objectives or could undermine your confidence.
