Horoscope: March 16, 2017

Your Stars Today

Aries | March 20 – April 18



As an Aries, you pack more into an hour than many do a day. This applies as much to your personal life as more worldly pursuits. Yet sometimes those closest at home, friends or even colleagues get the impression you don’t care when, in fact, you’re simply in a rush.

Taurus | April 19 – May 19



Nobody would blame you for being irritated with those insist things must be done their way. Worse, they simply refuse to discuss alternatives. Annoying as this is, judging by the current planetary set up, you’ve no choice but to agree to their way of doing things. Bizarrely, you’ll be amazed how much you learn.

Gemini | May 20 – June 20



Thus far you’ve managed to avoid turning minor differences with friends or colleagues into a major drama. While you recognise that often a good battle will clear the air, you’re right in thinking these issues are more of an emotional than practical nature and, as a result, need to be handled diplomatically.

Cancer | June 21 – July 21



The last thing you want to do is upset anybody. Yet being diplomatic hasn’t achieved much. Actually, judging by this week’s aspects involving the rather tough Saturn, you’re better off gathering all the relevant facts, discussing the issues point by point, then making it clear exactly what you have in mind.

Leo | July 22 – August 21



Logically speaking, the sooner you tackle certain tedious issues, the better. However, judging by late March’s rather tricky planetary activity, it may not be until then you know everything you’re dealing with. For the moment, focus on gathering whatever information you can. The rest can, and should, wait.

Virgo | August 22 – September 21



Everybody likes the idea of good luck. It’s just that while most have a clear expectation of how that will appear, including you, those actual fortunate events often take on a completely unexpected form. Since that’s likely now, explore absolutely everything that comes your way, including what’s least appealing.

Libra | September 22 – October 22



 

Ordinarily you’ve a knack for being patient or, better put, you give others the impression that’s how you’re feeling. The truth is, you’re both aggravated by the situation and somewhat irritated with one or two individuals. Since telling them that achieves little, you’re smiling but saying nothing, at least, for now.

Scorpio | October 23 – November 21



It’s not that you’ve been secretive as much as you’ve seen no reason to raise already tense matters that would only lead to contentious discussions. Now that these have turned into pressing issues anyway, you’ve no choice but to reveal both the facts and your feelings, and to discuss others’ with them.

Sagittarius | November 22 – December 20



Sooner or later you’ll have to talk over matters that, despite the very real efforts of certain individuals, you’ve managed to sidestep. Actually, avoiding them has become a challenge you rather enjoy, as if it were a sport. It’s not. Even more, the individuals in question need a decision.

Capricorn | December 21 – January 18



Long ago you learnt that when you justify any decision, you’re inviting debate while, on the other hand, if you say nothing, often nobody raises questions of any kind. Now, however, what you’re dealing with is so complex you’ve no choice but to explain what’s happening, and in detail.

Aquarius | January 19 – February 17



Having invested time in trying to tidy up the practical, financial or business side of your life, you’ve been feeling exceedingly virtuous. Now, however, you’ve discovered there’s considerably more to deal with, some complex. Unappealing as this development is, what you’ve already learnt will make things a lot easier.

Pisces | February 18 – March 19



The capacity to trust another is an admirable characteristic, one that many Pisceans are blessed with. While it can lead to warm, lasting friendships and amazing romantic links, at times you’ll need to be cautious. This is one of them. Don’t just assume others are being honest. Check the facts.
