Horoscope: September 6, 2016

Your stars today

Aries | March 20 – April 18



By no means are you narrow-minded. On the contrary, whereas certain signs can be judgemental about an odd range of matters, as an Aries, you have a huge respect for others’ views and habits. Still, think before you speak or, better yet, if puzzled, ask questions. You’ll be amazed what you learn.

Taurus | April 19 – May 19



Every sign is influenced by Mercury’s retrograde cycle, which has triggered all manner of confusion. However, the issues you’re facing could actually untangle persistent misunderstandings with loved ones. True, this means doing lots of listening. Despite that, be patient and gradually you’ll discover the source of, and solution for, those ongoing problems.

Gemini | May 20 – June 19



September’s two eclipses, on the 1st and 16th, both accent the structure of your life, which means unexpected events, if not major changes, are likely. Unsettling as these may be, they’re also an invitation to rethink arrangements that have been increasingly tricky. Talk things through now and you’ll achieve wonders.

Cancer | June 20 – July 21



The time has come to be frank about certain issues you were rather hoping you could sidestep entirely. While tackling these could mean ruffling others’ feathers, the resulting discussions are long delayed anyway. Be patient and persistent. Once you’re actually talking things through, you’ll realise how timely these conversations are.

Leo | July 22 – August 21



After hours of discussion, brainstorming and efforts to find a solution for an especially tricky practical or financial issue, you’re about to give up. Don’t. The current stunning alliance between your ruler the Sun and Pluto, planet of truth and transformation, promises insights, although possibly not in the form you’d have anticipated.

Virgo | August 22 – September 21



As you’re probably already aware, your ruler Mercury is retrograde, or in reverse motion. Although this will trigger unexpected events, by no means will these necessarily be a problem. Rather, in some cases, they’ll result in changes or lead to new ideas or encounters from which you’ll benefit in wonderful ways.

Libra | September 22 – October 21



It’s easy to forget that, often, progress on one front means letting go of familiar elements of your life on another. Worrying as these changes may seem at the outset, within a short time you’ll realise they’re the breakthroughs you’ve been hoping for, but in a very different form than anticipated.

Scorpio | October 22 – November 20



Although you’re benefitting from the Sun’s stunning alliance to your ruler Pluto, the advantages of the changes it’s triggering won’t always be clear. While, ordinarily, you’d wait and watch, things are moving too swiftly for that approach. Out of character as leaping into the fray is, it’s your best option.

Sagittarius | November 21 – December 20



Few things infuriate you more than when others waste time on pointless details. Now that’s complicated by the difficulties triggered by the retrograde Mercury. While ordinarily this involves no more than confusion, with eclipses on the 1st and 16th shaking things up, the more flexible your thinking, the better.

Capricorn | December 21 – January 19



Don’t allow the range of complicated situations you’re currently facing to overshadow those that aren’t just good, they’re thrilling. While those you’ve been working on for ages are finally coming together, you’ll also soon benefit from the fortunate Jupiter’s move, on Friday, to accent the structure of your life.

Aquarius | January 20 – February 18



You’ve watched arrangements you worked hard to organise, and some you cherish, come undone. While you’ve been aware these were reaching their natural conclusion, you’d have preferred to have time to discuss the extent and pace of these changes. Ironically, by next week you’ll be grateful things moved so swiftly.

Pisces | February 19 – March 19



For months you’ve been hoping you could resolve difficult issues without having to confront others. With both the Sun, last week, and Saturn, on this Saturday, at odds with your ruler Neptune, not only will these come to a head, the more frankly you discuss them, the faster you’ll put them to rest.
