Your stars today
Your stars today
Aries | March 20 – April 18
While nobody would blame you for avoiding restrictive arrangements, they’ve something important to teach you. When these arose recently, you managed to sidestep them. Although that’s understandable, you’d have learnt something quite dull, but easily. Now you’re facing them again. This time, take this wonderful opportunity to learn what you need to.
Taurus | April 19 – May 19
There’s a difference between making plans, which you’ve been discussing at great length, and actually committing to lasting decisions. Understandably, you’d prefer to get things settled once and for all. But with September’s two eclipses shaking up the foundation on which plans would be based, the more flexible your thinking, the better.
Gemini | May 20 – June 19
Most of the time, you’re able to be remarkably easygoing. At the moment, however, that deeply embedded and, mostly, unrecognised, stubborn streak has emerged. And big time. It will take the form of being inflexible about changes that, in reality, matter little. Be alert for this. It could lead to serious battles.
Cancer | June 20 – July 21
You’ve no choice but to either substantially rethink plans or pull out of certain longstanding arrangements. While, ordinarily, you’d never do this, events have given you no choice. This is, of course, due to the retrograde Mercury, which is affecting everybody, and also means others are experiencing exactly the same disarray.
Leo | July 22 – August 21
There’s no denying September is eventful and, equally, brimming with challenges and changes. Yet many of these will lead to breakthroughs, although you won’t necessarily recognise them at the time. That being the case, explore absolutely everything. What seems least promising at the moment, could, by the month’s close, work brilliantly.
Virgo | August 22 – September 21
Worrying as making lasting commitments on minimal information may be, you’re better off settling on plans now and thinking out the details later. Besides, with your ruler Mercury retrograde in your sign until 22 September, there are bound to be surprises. Knowing that, ensuring arrangements are flexible will make life a lot easier.
Libra | September 22 – October 21
Although the fortunate Jupiter doesn’t actually move into Libra until the 9th, you may already be having hints of the upbeat mood that accompanies this cycle. While it’s about opportunities, many unexpected, it is just as much about experiencing a sense of optimism, about the present and the future.
Scorpio | October 22 – November 20
Suggesting that you entirely avoid promises and commitments may seem extreme. But with the retrograde Mercury accenting all forms of friendships and relations with family, and indicating confusion, unexpected twists and turns are inevitable. That being the case, the more flexible your arrangements, and even more, your attitude, the better.
Sagittarius | November 21 – December 20
Your talent for sidestepping the obstacles that not only slow others’ progress but result in genuine problems is widely envied. Judging by the coming weeks’ tricky planetary setup, even you will have to face up to certain very tricky difficulties. Efforts to sidestep them will only backfire, and complicate things further.
Capricorn | December 21 – January 19
Long ago you learnt that often those who insist on having the final word in an argument may win in the short term but will tumble, if not hit serious problems, later. Yet it may almost seem somebody is baiting you. They probably are. Say nothing. It won’t be easy. But it will be worth it.
Aquarius | January 20 – February 18
Shocking as it is, you’re being forced to recognise somebody has deliberately misled you, and in a situation of considerable significance to you. Eventually you’ll delve into the character of the individual in question. For now, focus on ensuring your own facts are clear and that your plans can proceed without problems.
Pisces | February 19 – March 19
Sooner or later you’ll have to tackle already challenging issues. In fact, judging by the clash between tough Saturn and your ruler Neptune, in a week’s time, there’s no ignoring these. Worrying as this sounds, others will be as eager as you to discuss and deal with them, once and for all.
