Your stars today
Your stars today
Aries | March 20 – April 18
With both the New Moon, early in August, and the Full Moon on the 18th, accenting those closest, spending time with both friends and family is crucial. Certain individuals are in the midst of unsettling changes. They need your advice but even more, they need the support you alone can give.
Taurus | April 19 – May 19
Sooner or later you’ll need to have a heart to heart talk with somebody you’re close to. When you’ve discussed similar matters in the past, they’ve been both attentive and understanding. However, judging by their current unsettled mood, they could be brusque or even dismissive. If so, don’t take it personally.
Gemini | May 20 – June 19
Sometimes the best approach to a misunderstanding is to live with it, at least for a few days. That gives you a chance to ask a few questions and, even more important, listen to what others have to say. This will eliminate confusion and could even sort out those once insurmountable issues.
Cancer | June 20 – July 21
Judging by Tuesday’s positive but dramatic link between the Sun and inventive Uranus, events as exciting as they are unexpected could substantially alter your plans. This isn’t just about the next few days but, rather, the knock on influence these developments could have in the months to come as well.
Leo | July 22 – August 21
Few astrological aspects are as powerful as the link between your ruler the Sun and Uranus, planet of innovation and the unexpected, in a few days’ time. Consequently, you may already be benefitting from those twists and turns. Explore absolutely everything that comes your way. This ensures nothing can pass you by.
Virgo | August 22 – September 21
When you make a plan, concentrate on lining up all your facts so, once things are organised, there’s no need to rethink them later. However, judging by the complex and often tricky planetary activity of the month’s second half, changes are inevitable. Ironically, they’ll be needed, so you won’t mind making them.
Libra | September 22 – October 21
There’s a difference between everybody acknowledging that one particular issue needs attention, and fast, and there being an accord about what should be done. Unlikely as it seems now, by August’s final week, when powerful planetary activity corners everybody involved into thinking things through, a plan will be made.
Scorpio | October 22 – November 20
While you’ll always say what’s on your mind, you carefully select when, and how you’ll get the message across. At the moment, however, you may not have much time. In fact, with things moving swiftly, you could have hours, rather than days, to gather your thoughts and talk things through.
Sagittarius | November 21 – December 20
When others are being moody or difficult, you assume they’re wrestling with their own problems and would discuss them if necessary. Now, however, one particular individual needs a bit of encouragement to raise their concerns. Ask, gently at first. The resulting conversation will be rewarding for them, and for you.
Capricorn | December 21 – January 19
Change is in the air. While ordinarily you welcome new ideas and the unexpected, the recent weeks have been so unsettled you’ve been hoping things would be calmer. While that won’t happen, these twists and turns will break up patterns that have been holding you back, so are very timely indeed.
Aquarius | January 20 – February 18
It’s still several day until the Aquarius Full Moon, on Thursday. Yet you’re already wrestling with both the sudden changes and heightened feelings it’s triggering. True, some of what’s coming your way is unsettling. Still, you’ll find most developments are ushering in breakthroughs as welcome as they are timely.
Pisces | February 19 – March 19
Judging by the aspects by the Sun, Mercury and currently, Venus to your ruler Neptune, you’ve been talking over everything from your future plans to your deepest feelings. In these, as with other matters, you’ve been surprised and, occasionally shocked, to discover how unaware others are of your activities or what matters most to you.
