Your Stars Today

Aries | March 20 – April 18



There’s a fine line between updating others on plans and, even more, on sudden changes and actually asking for their approval. Certain individuals may think that’s what you’re doing but, in reality, these are your decisions to make. You’re merely keeping those closest informed of your activities, nothing further.

Taurus | April 19 – May 19



For ages you’ve been battling to keep certain familiar, if not longstanding, elements of your life as they are. Yet with every passing week, it’s more challenging. That’s because these are, in fact, coming to the end of their time. Let them go. What’s next will be as brilliant as it is surprising.

Gemini | May 20 – June 20



The Sun moves into Gemini in a week’s time, on the 20th, and then on the 25th, the Gemini New Moon kick-starts a cycle of questioning and review. However, this is just as much a period of exploration, one during which you’ll be seeking new ideas, ventures and passions.

Cancer | June 21 – July 21



It may seem that others are being difficult if not in an argumentative mood. Judging by the current unsettled atmosphere, you and the world around you are wrestling with situations as changeable as they are perplexing. Discuss these frankly. The more forthright those exchanges, the more they’ll clear up, often swiftly.

Leo | July 22 – August 21



Exciting as making progress may be, it’s often at the cost of familiar if not longstanding arrangements. Judging by this week’s planetary activity, this is very much the case now. Difficult as letting go of certain of these is, you’ve long known they simply weren’t as important as they once were.

Virgo | August 22 – September 21



You’ve been through a long and demanding cycle, one that’s required, on one hand, quick thinking and, on the other, considerable patience with the circumstances in question and with certain individuals. But it’s time to move on. If there’s anything unsaid or that needs to be dealt with, tackle it now.

Libra | September 22 – October 22



It’s worth looking back on the past few days. While you were living through them, it seemed you had few alternatives and often had to compromise. Now that you’re in a position to review the resulting arrangements, you realise those that seemed most worrying worked out well, if not brilliantly.

Scorpio | October 23 – November 21



Thinking back of the past several days, you realise that on a number of occasions you misinterpreted sudden developments as reason for concern when, in reality, they were unexpected opportunities. If you haven’t explored these, do so now. And even more important, bear in mind what’s least expected could be most promising.

Sagittarius | November 22 – December 20



There’s nothing like teamwork. This applies to plans and projects. But at the moment, it also applies to certain personal relationships as well. You’ve been busy, so much that those closest have felt neglected, more than you realise. They need your time and attention, and now. Make that your priority.

Capricorn | December 21 – January 18



As an earth sign, you’ve an instinctive understanding of what’s worth your time and what isn’t. And when, in the past, you’ve taken unwise risks, you’ve paid a price. However, circumstances have changed, so much that what was once questionable could now offer a glorious, if unexpected, opportunity. Knowing that, explore everything.

Aquarius | January 19 – February 17



Few think of this. But inevitably making progress means leaving elements of the past behind. While some may have been of increasingly less importance to you for ages, you’ll be struggling to keep others going. Give this serious thought. It may be that the time has come to say farewell.

Pisces | February 18 – March 19



You could be drawn into seemingly easygoing discussions about minor issues, only to find that you’re in a real battle, and before you know it. The problem is that certain individuals utterly refuse to acknowledge how uptight they are about these matters, so are taking their fears out on others.
