Horoscope: March 17, 2017

Your Stars Today

Aries | March 20 – April 18



Tempting as it is to ignore details you regard as unimportant, they’re crucial. True, in the past you’ve put off tackling such issues until the last minute, and others have dealt with them. Expecting that’s unwise. First, it won’t necessarily happen. But, even more, you need to be up to date on these matters.

Taurus | April 19 – May 19



By no means are you secretive. Yet you’ve neglected to tell certain individuals about fundamental changes in various elements of your life. This is mostly because you dreaded the resulting lengthy explanations. While that’s logical, the fact is, the longer you wait, the worse it will be. Update others now.

Gemini | May 20 – June 20



While, on one hand, you’re in the midst of a tricky period, on the other, you sense these obstacles you’ve been facing are giving you and certain individuals good reason to rethink things. True, those new ideas may not surface until later this month. Still, avoid finalising arrangements until you’ve learnt about these.

Cancer | June 21 – July 21



Don’t be surprised if somebody who’s usually easygoing by nature is suddenly pushy or even uncharacteristically gruff. This isn’t about you. It’s about the issues they’re facing, situations they find very worrying but which they’ve felt unable to discuss. Gently ask what’s up. They may feel ready to open up.

Leo | July 22 – August 21



Although you’ve derived a certain sense of accomplishment from dealing with the rather tricky series of situations you’ve been facing, it’s been relentless. Not only do you deserve, and need, a break, the planets agree. Get away, for a few hours, a day or a weekend. It will achieve wonders.

Virgo | August 22 – September 21



As a quick-thinking and analytical Virgo, you’re careful to assess what you plan, do and commit to. When things make sense, you’ll proceed. If not, you’ll ask more questions or back off. Now, however, what’s arisen is unexpectedly complex. The time you invest in learning about this is well invested.

Libra | September 22 – October 22



The trick to dealing with one particular issue is to do exactly that. Focus on that situation, and that alone. Initially it may seem you must inevitably address other matters too but, in fact, this can be isolated. And once you’ve done that, you’ll realise how easy it is to resolve.

Scorpio | October 23 – November 21



Some matters are best discussed all at once. Those you’re dealing with now need to be taken in stages, partly because they don’t seem that urgent, at least to others. Even more, you’re better off waiting until crucial facts surface, probably late next week. After that, things will make more sense.

Sagittarius | November 22 – December 20



Only days ago you were battling the emotional excesses triggered by the recent Full Moon, and now you’re facing the relentless demands of Saturn, which is actually positioned in Sagittarius. Both your feelings and those facts being highlighted are crucial, and need to be discussed and dealt with thoughtfully.

Capricorn | December 21 – January 18



Although you complain about others shifting responsibility for decisions that are really theirs to deal with over to you, it’s actually to your benefit. It allows you to encourage them to explore several options, while you keep an eye on their ideas. Still, eventually, they’ll have to think for themselves.

Aquarius | January 19 – February 17



Being a clever air sign, you thrive on exploring new ideas and, just as much, derive pleasure from a lively debate. Bear in mind, however, not everybody is as comfortable with having their suggestions challenged and, in fact, somebody could misunderstand your questions. Be cautious or, perhaps, say nothing at all.

Pisces | February 18 – March 19



Few things are more thrilling than receiving an offer as exciting as it is unexpected. However, the more you explore, the more flaws you’ll uncover. These by no means suggest you should reject this, but you do need to negotiate, and you need to be specific. You deserve exactly what you want.
