Your Stars Today

Aries | March 20 – April 18



If ever there was a time to pretend you’ve never discussed certain contentious matters or clashed with others over ongoing issues, it’s now. The New Moon in the logical Aquarius will inspire everybody involved, you and others, to adopt a timely fresh perspective on even seemingly irresolvable problems.

Taurus | April 19 – May 19



It isn’t easy to enjoy life when uncertain situations are hanging over you. While it’s true, you’ll be more relaxed when these matters are settled, the outcome is almost sure. So, instead of denying yourself the pleasure of certain rather wonderful moments with others, trust that things will work out as planned.

Gemini | May 20 – June 20



Last minute changes in plan are nothing new to you, as a Gemini. However, those that are made because of sudden revelations, as is the case now, are quite another matter. Because things are moving swiftly, you may need to base decisions more on intuition than fact. You can deal with any details later.

Cancer | June 21 – July 21



For ages you’ve known you’d have to make some serious changes in elements of your way of living or working but the timing’s never been right. However, with energetic Mars moving to accent such matters and remaining until early March, you’ll be amazed how much you’re able to do and deal with.

Leo | July 22 – August 21



In general, you’d rather talk things over frankly, even if that leads to a few dramas, than sidestep issues that might be upsetting. Yet somebody feels compelled to be polite. The trick is to adopt a gracious manner but, when it comes to actually discussing matters, be as forthright as possible.

Virgo | August 22 – September 21



This weekend’s New Moon influences every sign. But because it accents the practical side of your life and various obligations, you could find either you need to make changes or unexpected events force your hand. Either way, act swiftly. There could be no better time than now to undertake these.

Libra | September 22 – October 22



While it’s understandable that you want to do all you can to keep one particular longstanding relationship going, it’s worth reviewing the facts in general and considering how it benefits you. Recently, you’ve actually spent far more time worrying about causing upset than having pleasure of any variety.

Scorpio | October 23 – November 21



There’s talk of changes in elements of your way of living, your activities out in the world or your professional life. While this is nothing new, you’d always assumed those changes would take ages. They might. But the odds are better they’ll happen soon, probably within a couple of weeks.

Sagittarius | November 22 – December 20



Recently, life’s been demanding and exciting, in equal parts. However, the swift pace has prevented you from discussing plans in detail. As a result, you’re facing a last minute crisis. Tackle this right away and you’ll put these concerns to rest, and far more swiftly than you’d have imagined possible.

Capricorn | December 21 – January 18



Nobody would blame you for sidestepping certain matters that are both challenging to deal with and which provoke unsettled feelings. Yet the encounter between Mercury and the uncompromisingly truthful Pluto is bound to force these out in open. Discussing them frankly won’t be easy but it will be a relief.

Aquarius | January 19 – February 17



At each New Moon nature itself slows. It’s a time of stillness and reflection. This is especially the case for you because the current Aquarius New Moon constitutes a sort of personal new year. Take advantage of this opportunity to consider what works, needs improvement and, equally, what should go.

Pisces | February 18 – March 19



You may not realise it, but as a Piscean, you have a tough time saying a flat ‘no’. Consequently, you’ll be so diplomatic that others will assume you’re still thinking about the matter in question. While, ordinarily, that doesn’t matter, now it does. Ensure others know you mean ‘no’.
