Horoscope: October 30, 2016

Your Stars Today

Aries | March 20 – April 18



Irritating as the idea of taking certain plans back to the drawing board may be, it’s both timely and will reveal flaws in arrangements you were unaware of. Knowing that, resist the temptation to deal with these matters as swiftly as possible and, instead, go into them in depth, once and properly.

Taurus | April 19 – May 19



Nobody would blame you for viewing the rather demanding attitude of one particular individual as being a verity of bullying. But, in fact, they’re exasperated because you’ve completely ignored them. These issues won’t be easy to discuss but, equally, it would be unwise to imagine the person in question will simply vanish.

Gemini | May 20 – June 19



Sometimes life’s all about practicalities. While periods of this nature can be dull, the lack of options enables you to make lots of decisions quickly. But now it’s the reverse, partly because you’re still working out your own objectives. Ensure others understand this or they’ll assume it’s all talk and nothing more.

Cancer | June 20 – July 21



Powerful aspects to the inventive planet Uranus, this week and next, suggest that even seemingly simple arrangements are unlikely to last as planned. Annoying, if not worrying, as that appears, you’ll soon be relieved. In fact, as the coming days and the accompanying changes unfold, you’ll be delighted everybody’s in a flexible mood.

Leo | July 22 – August 21



Every New Moon is about a fresh start. This one accents your way of living and your activities out in the world. It indicates a review wouldn’t just be timely, but wise. Initially you may try to keep any changes to a minimum, but gradually you’ll realise they’re badly needed.

Virgo | August 22 – September 21



Facts may be facts but with your ruler Mercury superbly aspecting the intuitive Neptune, your intuition is at its peak. While your capacity for practical analysis remains intact, this heightens your ability to sense where change is in the air, and triggers an uncanny knack for predicting what’s coming next.

Libra | September 22 – October 21



The line between generosity and being taken advantage of isn’t always clear. Now, however, you’ll need to carefully analyse certain arrangements or risk discovering later that you did far more giving and got very little in return. This may seem selfish but it’s about keeping track of obligations and protecting your interests.

Scorpio | October 22 – November 20



There’s nothing worse than discovering you’ve committed to an arrangement that suits the requirements of others but, in reality, is taking advantage of you and your time. While you’ve every right to be annoyed, ask a few discreet questions. The individuals behind everything may be as upset as you are.

Sagittarius | November 21 – December 20



Don’t be surprised if suddenly somebody demands hard facts about your short term plans and long range intentions. This has more to do with their anxieties than you, but they won’t see it that way. So give them as much information as you can. Bizarrely, it will help you organise your own plans.

Capricorn | December 21 – January 19



Others say you’re sometimes stubborn. While you suppose that’s true, from your perspective, you’re only being practical and sticking to what makes sense. Now you’re facing exactly the same attitude in one particular individual and find their refusal even to discuss your ideas infuriating. There’s something to be learnt from this.

Aquarius | January 20 – February 18



The phrase ‘last minute changes in plan’ sounds thrilling, but actually undertaking them is quite another matter. Still, the temporary disarray you’d experience will be minor compared to the excitement that comes with what you’re doing. This involves something that’s intrigued you for ages, and once everything’s settled, you’ll be delighted.

Pisces | February 19 – March 19



Some criticise being selfish. But if ever there was a time to put you and your interests first, it’s now. The Sun’s rare and potent link with your ruler Neptune puts you at the centre of timely encounters and just plain good fortune. Still, benefitting from these requires a swift response.
