Your Stars Today

Aries | March 20 – April 18



Exciting as the changes streaming through your life may be, they’re unsettling for you and disruptive for others.

A quick conversation should do the trick.

Taurus | April 19 – May 19



This is one of the most exciting but, equally, unsettling months of the year. This means that even simple plans are likely to change, and change again. Disruptive as this is, each twist and turn will take you into new territory and, as important, introduce you to thrilling ideas or offers.

Gemini | May 20 – June 20



Each day of this exciting week brings yet another thrilling planetary aspect, and the equally thrilling events it triggers. However, for now, it’s all about exploring what’s coming your way. Certain individuals may be keen to make plans. With events still unfolding, it’s too early and you’ll soon regret it.

Cancer | June 21 – July 21



When you first sidestepped the mention of potentially tricky issues, it was because they’d only upset others and weren’t that important anyway. But now that these are being talked over, and frankly, it’s essential that you discuss your views and learn what those around you think, and the sooner, the better.

Leo | July 22 – August 21



The plans currently being organised are exciting. But they’re also so disruptive, you wish they’d taken place when you had more time to deal with them. However, these changes are the sort that require quick thinking and, indeed, you ensure that there’s little opportunity for anybody to come up with objections.

Virgo | August 22 – September 21



Judging by the influence of your ruler Mercury’s recent retrograde cycle, which actually ended on 3 May and the current week’s confusion, you’re better off regarding even the simplest of arrangements as tentative. That way, when you need to rethink things or changes arise, as is inevitable, you’ll be prepared.

Libra | September 22 – October 22



Tempting as it is to try to find an approach to sudden changes that will keep everybody happy, it really isn’t possible. That being the case, discuss your alternatives with those whose views matter most, make a plan together with them, then inform everybody else. Ultimately, it’s your best option.

Scorpio | October 23 – November 21

Because of this, it’s wise to discuss crucial matters, even those you’d usually keep to yourself.

Sagittarius | November 22 – December 20



Tempting as it is to agree to recent exciting ideas or offers, you’re urged to take it slowly. That may seem crazy, especially since what’s arisen is thrilling. However, these are among the first of a series of developments, each of which will introduce further improvements. Ensure you explore them all.

Capricorn | December 21 – January 18

Aquarius | January 19 – February 17

Pisces | February 18 – March 19



Yet again, you seem to be seeking the perfect solution for an already complex situation. While under ordinarily conditions dealing with every detail would be a challenge, with so much in transition, it’s nearly impossible. For now, do the best you can and encourage others to take the same approach.
