Your stars today
Your stars today
Aries | March 20 – April 18
Few things infuriate you more than situations in which plans you’ve made are undone by events beyond your control. But, as you’re well aware, that’s exactly what you’ve been facing since early September. Looking back, you’ve learnt a lot, enough it almost compensates for the aggravation you’ve been contending with.
Taurus | April 19 – May 19
Since early September, you’ve been frustrated by perplexing situations and an irritating lack of communication. While, now that Mercury’s retrograde cycle is over, discussions should be less complicated, you’ll still have to untangle the past weeks’ confusion. Ironically, what you learn in the process will more than justify the effort involved.
Gemini | May 20 – June 19
As much as you enjoy talking over new ideas and discussing how they’d fit into your life, when it comes to actual changes, it’s another matter. You’ll investigate your options, make a decision and, that’s that. However, recently, it’s been frustrating. Even the simplest of arrangements haven’t lasted for long.
Cancer | June 20 – July 21
For some time you’ve been talking about potential changes in your domestic setup or working life, but thus far it’s been no more than that, talk. Now that expansive Jupiter has moved to accent this part of your chart, however, and meets the Sun, things will start moving swiftly.
Leo | July 22 – August 21
There are few more powerful alliances than the current link between your ruler the Sun and Jupiter, which is all about great timing and good fortune. Ironically, taking advantage of this could mean going with the flow in ways that might initially seem a compromise. Despite that, say yes.
Virgo | August 22 – September 21
Although your ruler Mercury’s retrograde cycle ended last Thursday, you’re still dealing with an array of changes in plans and undiscovered errors. Annoying as these can be, and as much as you’d like to get things organised, then move on, ask a few questions. What you learn could be hugely informative.
Libra | September 22 – October 21
Obviously you’re uncomfortable about being cornered by circumstances into remaining silent about matters you disagree with. But judging by the current planetary setup, you’ve no choice. Actually, it’s for the best. You’re lacking information. Once you’ve learnt the full facts, your perspective in general, and view on the issue, will be transformed.
Scorpio | October 22 – November 20
Uncomfortable as the revealing conversations triggered by the recent powerful links between Mercury and your ruler Pluto may have been at the time, you must admit they cleared up considerable confusion. Enough, perhaps, that you’d be willing to discuss certain of these matters further? Others would be relieved and you’d benefit hugely.
Sagittarius | November 21 – December 20
Your ruler, Jupiter, moved into its new position and a new sign in early September, but the resulting changes remain perplexing. Generally, you’re both flexible and inquisitive, so usually adapt swiftly. However, this cycle is drawing you into activities or situations you’re unfamiliar with, enough you’re finding them surprisingly challenging.
Capricorn | December 21 – January 19
As a Capricorn and an earth sign, you always check out the facts before making a plan or commitment. Yet the events triggered by the current alliance between the Sun and Jupiter are both fast-moving and involve others, which means there’s no time for any such investigation. It’s now or never.
Aquarius | January 20 – February 18
Are you still having conversations in your head with those who’ve been difficult, if not just plain unreasonable? It’s no surprise. Obviously, you’d like to talk these through, but with things moving so swiftly, you’ve no time. Ignoring this inner chatter isn’t easy, but for now, it’s really your only option.
Pisces | February 19 – March 19
The term ‘windfall’ is appealing to everybody. After all, who wouldn’t be happy to benefit from a welcome surprise? The answer is somebody you’re linked to, via work or personally. They’re bizarrely suspicious. Tempting as it is to discuss this with them, don’t. You’d soon regret it.
