Your Stars Today
Aries | March 20 – April 18
A week ago your ruler Mars moved into a new position. It’s now in the midheaven angle of your chart, which accents the structure of your life and, especially, your activities out in the world. The time has come to rethink, if not change, arrangements that are holding you back.
Taurus | April 19 – May 19
Usually you’re adept at diplomatically sidestepping unwanted advice. These issues are already on your mind and you’ll get around to them when you’re ready to, and not before. Tempting as it is to say exactly that to others, you’d soon regret it. Thank the individual in question, then busy yourself elsewhere.
Gemini | May 20 – June 19
Although you’ve achieved a great deal over the past several months, your focus has been mostly on dull practicalities. So much, you’ve had no choice but to neglect those individuals you care about and, even more, life’s pleasures. Happily, you’ll soon be in a position to make up for lost time.
Cancer | June 20 – July 21
Most of those born under the sign of Cancer have frequent inner debates about whether to mention the insensitive remarks of others. Some may involve you, personally, others may just be unkind. In every case, this isn’t about changing the individual is question, because nothing and nobody can do that.
Leo | July 22 – August 21
By no means are you secretive about your feelings, both pro certain individuals and anti certain arrangements. Yet, bizarrely, you tend not to discuss those deeper feelings that matter most. While those closest know about them, but only from watching you, it might be time to talk these over, and openly.
Virgo | August 22 – September 21
As a Virgo and an earth sign, you’re careful about the practical and financial side of life, and check out changes before you commit to them. However, with things moving so swiftly, you’ve little time and you’re short of facts. This means trusting your instincts, which are far better than you realise.
Libra | September 22 – October 21
Sometimes an obstacle is exactly that, a problem to be overcome. Those you’re encountering at the moment, however, are actually encouraging you to discuss these with others. By doing this together, you’re more likely to get to the core of the issue and find a solution, one that works for everybody.
Scorpio | October 22 – November 20
There’s no question that certain longstanding but now outdated arrangements are coming to a natural conclusion. While you’ll be sad to see them go, you’ve accepted this. The problem is: what’s next? Be patient. Those plans are emerging and will come together at the Scorpio New Moon, in late October.
Sagittarius | November 21 – December 20
Dealing with those who are negative about everything isn’t easy. Long ago you learnt to avoid making plans with individuals who dwell more on possible problems than on the potential for those endeavours. Yet now circumstances are forcing you to focus on such matters. It’s challenging but it’s also essential.
Capricorn | December 21 – January 19
Tact has its place, in life and in relationships. It enables you to navigate around tricky situations and deal with difficult individuals without time consuming dramas. Now, however, you not only have no choice but to be blunt, being forthright will enable you to resolve contentious issues in a flash.
Aquarius | January 20 – February 18
The phrase ‘final decision’ is appealing, yet for an inquisitive Aquarius, it can sometimes seem worryingly restrictive. But now you’re contending with the reverse, that is, being unable to make plans or decisions that last for more than a couple of days. That’s because for you, currently, life’s about exploration.
Pisces | February 19 – March 19
Being disappointed by others is, sadly, a frequent experience for most Pisces. This isn’t because you have back luck. Bizarrely, it has to do with your own high standards for yourself. You sometimes forget not everybody expects as much. This, in turn, leads to those disillusioning situations involving others.
