Your Stars Today

Aries | March 20 – April 18



As a determined Aries, you quite rightly pride yourself on the fact you never give up or give in. Long after others would have walked away from challenges, you’re still there, and still fighting for what you believe in. However, you’re urged to review one particular situation, in depth, and soon.

Taurus | April 19 – May 19



There’s no use arguing with somebody whose decision has already been made. However, that fact shouldn’t keep you from talking over various options, almost as an aside. Mention these but say no more. It’s likely that, within days, the individual in question will suggest these, believing the ideas are their own.

Gemini | May 20 – June 20



It’s the rare Gemini who’s paranoid by nature, that is, who will turn hearsay or shadowy observations into serious anxieties. Yet judging by the current planetary setup, that could easily happen. The solution? Instead of worrying, address your concerns head on. The answers you get will be a relief.

Cancer | June 21 – July 21



Only days ago, you were coasting on the freewheeling high that comes with every New Moon. There were all sorts of possibilities, many appealing. Since then you’ve learnt a lot, and many of those insights have considerably reduced your options. While, in some ways, this is disappointing, it’s also a relief.

Leo | July 22 – August 21



Although the move by Mercury to accent the structure of your life is bound to lead to constructive discussions, you’ll still be short of ideas. This is no surprise, since at the moment your focus is what needs to go, not what’s next. Challenging as this decluttering process is, it’s essential.

Virgo | August 22 – September 21



There’s a difference between handing certain responsibilities over to somebody, and expecting them to read your mind. While one agrees that certain duties or obligations need to be shared, you’ve mixed feelings. And so, you’ve held back on crucial information. That will, inevitably, cause serious problems, which is your intention.

Libra | September 22 – October 22



When you first kept certain facts to yourself, it was a matter of avoiding potential embarrassment, for others as much as for yourself. But now that the word is out, these are being more widely discussed so it’s essential that you fill everybody in on the background and, equally, all the details.

Scorpio | October 23 – November 21



That the obstacles you’re tackling would be a challenge was no secret. Yet even then, you’ve been both shocked and surprised at their complexity. While this has slowed progress, it’s also meant you’ve gained unexpected insights and discovered facts that are useful now and will be in the future, as well.

Sagittarius | November 22 – December 20



While you appreciate the importance of gathering the facts, you’re less interested in details. They aren’t as significant and can change, often overnight. Yet now, these aren’t just important, having those details to hand could mean taking the lead in crucial disputes about future plans and, even more, winning them.

Capricorn | December 21 – January 18



The last thing you’re inclined to do is take already complex plans back to the drawing board. But between changes in circumstances and your own shifting priorities, what’s already been organised will only become more troublesome. Begin by exploring quick fixes, although it’s likely those changes will be more extensive.

Aquarius | January 19 – February 17



Certain individuals simply refuse to explore new ideas. Yet there are some situations in which you can be just as rigid. It’s just that, from your perspective, the ideas or offers in question are unworkable, so learning more about them is futile. Others viewpoint is exactly the same. And you’re both wrong.

Pisces | February 18 – March 19



Ordinarily, when others have no idea how to address a tricky situation or approach somebody who’s known to be difficult, they’ll come to you. While you’re aware that many admire your knack for dealing with the potentially troublesome issues, only now are you beginning to realise just what a skill it is.
