Your Stars Today

Aries | March 20 – April 18



Little is more frustrating to an Aries than knowing what needs to be done, being aware the matter in question is urgent, yet being prevented from taking action. Although the last thing you’re feeling is patient, do nothing. You’ll be glad you waited. Within days sudden developments will demand you rethink everything.

Taurus | April 19 – May 19



If your instincts are telling you that, despite their guarantees, certain individuals won’t be able to keep their promises to you, those feelings are right. Since, mostly, you can’t voice your concerns, you’re urged to organise arrangements in such a way that they can withstand sudden changes of any variety.

Gemini | May 20 – June 20



Although your ruler Mercury’s period of retrograde movement ended on the 8th, you’re still struggling to untangle certain complex issues. Obviously, you’d like to see these settled. Take it slowly. While you may think you have all the facts, several need to surface before you can fully resolve the issues in question.

Cancer | June 21 – July 21



The odds are good you’re still wrestling with the heightened feelings triggered by last Thursday’s emotionally intense Full Moon. What’s more, because it was in Cancer, certain of the issues were personal and could, in fact, have touched you deeply. Still, what you’re learning more than justifies your unsettled mood.

Leo | July 22 – August 21



After the past weeks’ sudden and often disruptive events, you’re ready for a break. While things won’t be much calmer, every twist and turn will lead to powerful and often vital insights about both here and now matters and future plans. Knowing that, explore everything that arises swiftly and in depth.

Virgo | August 22 – September 21



Life would be a lot easier if you could make plans that last for longer than a few hours. While it’s true, your ruler Mercury’s retrograde cycle ended on the 8th, you’re dealing with fallout that’s the result of changes you’re unaware of. Investigate them. Each offers unexpected and valuable insights.

Libra | September 22 – October 22



In early January, your ruler Venus joined the impatient Mars in the part of your chart that accents how you organise your life, at home and, if you go to a job, at work. Since then you’ve discovered that numerous changes are needed. Take it slowly. There’s no rush.

Scorpio | October 23 – November 21



There’s a fine line between keeping your thoughts to yourself, as you often do, and saying nothing to those closest in the dark. Judging by the series of potent aspects to your ruler Pluto, you’ve been considering powerful changes. Yet you’ve said little, thinking it better to explain your plans all at once.

Sagittarius | November 22 – December 20



As a Sagittarius and a resilient fire sign, you’ve undoubtedly dealt with the frequent and often confusing changes of the past month or so. While much of this was triggered by Mercury’s retrograde cycle, and influenced everybody, certain of your own plans were disrupted and must now be reorganised.

Capricorn | December 21 – January 18



The New Moon in your sign may have been in late December, but you’re still reflecting on the insights it triggered about a range of situations. While some are minor, others are more far-reaching. In every case, the thought and effort you invest in making a decision will be well invested.

Aquarius | January 19 – February 17



It would be no surprise if you’re only finally getting a grip on the last week’s difficulties. The problem wasn’t the actual situations. Unsettling as they were, certain individuals turned them into dramas, which made civilised discussion impossible. Calm has been restored, so you can finally focus on seeking a solution.

Pisces | February 18 – March 19



Recent insights about dilemmas as persistent as they’ve been perplexing may have explained why these are occurring. But, alas, this hasn’t made them any less annoying. The only way to achieve that is to stop caring about the outcome, which isn’t just unlikely, judging by the intensity of your feelings, it’s impossible.
