Your Stars Today

Aries | March 20 – April 18



Resist the temptation to take a tough line with those who seem determined to take over arrangements that both work and are organised the way you like them. These are tried and tested so your reluctance to make changes is understandable. Still, the actual circumstances are in transition, which leaves you little choice.

Taurus | April 19 – May 19



Ordinarily you’d be wise to regard secretive manoeuvres of any variety with suspicion. While those concerns may be justified, it’s as likely you’re lacking information and the individual in question is being discreet, and for very good reason. Wait and watch. The facts will soon come to the surface.

Gemini | May 20 – June 19



Facing challenges is one thing. But situations that raise questions about who you can trust are quite another matter. Worse, you can’t really discuss these issues, at least right away. The only solution is to think about the past, and those moments when things worked out. They will now, too.

Cancer | June 20 – July 21



Certain rather pessimistic individuals insist that, however good things seem, there’s always a price to pay. While arguing with them won’t achieve much, you’ve quietly disagreed. Within days, events as wonderful as they are unexpected will show how right you were. In fact, they’re already unfolding, although behind the scenes.

Leo | July 22 – August 21



It’s true. You’ve been cornered by events and must, as a result, rethink elements of your life you’ve regarded as unchanging. While there’s no arguing this is unsettling, deep down you’re aware that existing arrangements have been holding you and, possibly, others back. From that perspective, these are a breakthrough.

Virgo | August 22 – September 21



Few things are more upsetting than, having set aside time to do something you enjoy or, alternatively, money for a special indulgence, the discovery your plans aren’t going to work out. Instead of rearranging it all immediately, take a bit of time to reflect. You might well discover that there’s a far better approach.

Libra | September 22 – October 21



Nobody would question the wisdom of keeping certain matters under wraps, which is exactly what you’ve chosen to do. However, judging by the powerful link between your ruler Venus and the truthful Pluto, you’ve no choice but to reveal the full facts. Bizarrely, this won’t be nearly as challenging as you anticipate.

Scorpio | October 22 – November 20



The time has come to talk things over frankly and in depth. True, you may have been avoiding these specific topics or trying to downplay your concerns. However, the link between the planet that accents all forms of relationships, Venus, and your ruler Pluto indicates these discussions are essential.

Sagittarius | November 21 – December 20



For ages you’d been sidestepping potentially troublesome issues, knowing they’d upset others. While that seemed a wise strategy and, equally, one that would avoid tedious dramas, things have become far too complicated. But times have changed and these matters are now crucial. The sooner you discuss them frankly, the better.

Capricorn | December 21 – January 19



Because you’ve been steering clear of conversations that would ordinarily devour your time and occupy your mind, you’re able to explore certain ideas you’ve previously been forced to neglect. This isn’t just interesting, what you’re learning and those individuals you’re encountering will considerably broaden your horizons, and in much needed ways.

Aquarius | January 20 – February 18



You’re already irritated with somebody and could soon get very angry. While nobody would blame you, do a little investigation first. They’re struggling with certain difficult situations of which you’re completely unaware. Although the individual in question isn’t ready to talk, others may be willing to fill in the details.

Pisces | February 19 – March 19



Not only are you dealing with somebody who has virtually no conscience, they’ll happily lie to anybody necessary to get their way. And at the moment they’re trying to manipulate you into doing what they want. Forget about being polite. Confront the individual in question, ideally in front of others.
