Your Stars Today
Aries | March 20 – April 18
Frustrating as recent setbacks were, now that they’ve been dealt with and you’re able to view them in retrospect, you’re realising how much you learnt. Actually, it’s worth recalling these lessons, mostly so they’re fresh in your mind when, over the next few days, events of a similar nature come your way.
Taurus | April 19 – May 19
For ages you’ve been talking about making minor but increasingly important changes in elements of your domestic or working life, but the moment’s never been right. Now not only will events make it’s easy, Saturday’s New Moon indicates you’ll have a timely fresh perspective on matters that once worried you.
Gemini | May 20 – June 20
Upsetting others is never fun. True, as a witty Gemini, you’ll happily provoke those who deserve it. However, until Saturday’s link between your ruler Mercury and the uncompromisingly truthful Pluto, you’ll need reveal facts one particular individual’s been struggling to hide, and they won’t be happy about it.
Cancer | June 21 – July 21
Although the Cancer Full Moon took place nearly two weeks ago, it marked a time during which numerous tricky issues and, equally, exciting changes came to a head. While you were able to organise some then and there, others have proved more complex and may not be settled for several days yet.
Leo | July 22 – August 21
Sometimes obstacles are no more than that. But those you’ve been facing, and will this week, are triggered by aspects to Saturn, which accents focus and achievement. Knowing that, instead of trying to sidestep difficulties, investigate them. You’ll soon realise what you can learn and how you’ll profit from those insights.
Virgo | August 22 – September 21
One of your strengths, as a Virgo, is your ability to find a way around any dilemma, even the most complex. However, you rightly sense you’re short of facts. Either they’re genuinely unknown or somebody’s trying to conceal them. Whatever the case, your only option is to wait and watch.
Libra | September 22 – October 22
For weeks you’ve known certain particularly tricky issues needed attention but were unsure what was best. Now these are becoming urgent. By the end of the week, in fact, circumstances could decide for you. That being the case, do something, even if you’re unsure it’s the right option. It’s better than nothing.
Scorpio | October 23 – November 21
Nobody understands more clearly than a Scorpio that some things are better left unspoken. While in the past this silence was wise, times have changed. Now, these aren’t just relevant, others need to be made aware of the facts. No explanations are necessary. Just speak up.
Sagittarius | November 22 – December 20
Ordinarily change, whatever its form or timing, is no problem. Yet certain recent changes set you off and, worse, you can’t seem to get over it. The issue isn’t what happened but that somebody made a decision you felt was yours to make. Deal with that and those stormy feelings will vanish.
Capricorn | December 21 – January 18
Often lively debates about the rights and wrongs of persistent dilemmas can be as amusing as they are informative. At the moment, however, you’re urged to be cautious. Not only are some issues genuinely tricky, they touch on matters that are a source of continued and deep concern for certain individuals.
Aquarius | January 19 – February 17
While there’s a New Moon every month, and it’s about a fresh start, the coming New Moon is in Aquarius. It’s not until Saturday, which gives you plenty of time to consider what you’re happy with, what you’re not and might want to change, and even what needs to go.
Pisces | February 18 – March 19
As a Piscean, your intuitive sense of timing is so efficient that you rarely need to think about what’s urgent versus those tasks that can be dealt with at a more leisurely pace. If you’re getting mixed messages about certain matters, that’s because they’re changing, by the day if not the hour.
