Your Stars Today
Aries | March 20 – April 18
Only now that you’re able to look back on the last few days, and their dramas, is it clear that some of the changes you were battling most ferociously were actually in your best interests. Actually, these were overdue, which means you’ll have to work with others to catch up on things.
Taurus | April 19 – May 19
Last minute changes in plan are irritating but there’s no question they’ve benefitted you. Yet, still, you’re trying to figure out how these can be avoided. Don’t allow that rather stubborn side of your nature to undermine what is a period of genuine, and exciting, growth. Plunge in. You won’t regret it.
Gemini | May 20 – June 20
After a period that’s been as informative as it’s been demanding, you need both a rest and something new to think about or work on. This is coming, but not until the powerful Gemini New Moon, on the 25th. Until then, focus on decluttering both your mind and life of unrewarding pursuits.
Cancer | June 21 – July 21
Usually, when others ask questions, it’s because they’re genuinely interested in what you’re doing. At the moment, however, certain somewhat unscrupulous individuals think they can learn something from you, but won’t ask directly. Knowing that, either sidestep conversations entirely or say only as much as you’re inclined to.
Leo | July 22 – August 21
Initially, you were unenthusiastic about dramatic changes in existing plans or new, and disruptive, ideas. Yet now, only a few days later, you’re beginning to think they’re a good idea. But you’re concerned it’s too late. It’s not. Go back and talk these over with others. They’ll be thrilled you’re interested.
Virgo | August 22 – September 21
Early this week, your ruler Mercury moved into one of the most inquisitive portions of your chart. While your interests are broad and often far-reaching, you tend to dismiss concepts that you know will be a distraction. Yet, in certain cases, that’s exactly what you need. At minimum, do a little exploration.
Libra | September 22 – October 22
Discussions that begin as a civilised exchange of ideas about recent changes could easily, and swiftly, deteriorate into serious clashes. This isn’t about the actual changes but, rather, that certain individuals are anxious, so trying to find reasons to put things off. Avoid these. The issues are others’, not yours to deal with.
Scorpio | October 23 – November 21
With Mars, as of today, the Sun, and Thursday’s New Moon all accenting joint ventures in general, especially those in which others are in control, trust could be an issue. As a Scorpio, you’re cautious by nature. Judging by the coming week’s planetary setup, you’ve no choice but to be trusting.
Sagittarius | November 22 – December 20
One of this year’s themes is you being forced to face situations that are thrilling, but over which you have little control. Obviously, as a freedom loving Sagittarius, this annoys you. On the plus side, those who’re in charge are both well informed and, better yet, have your best interests at heart.
Capricorn | December 21 – January 18
You don’t think of it as being stubborn. While you recognise the huge benefits changes are bringing, you’re still struggling to sustain certain longstanding arrangements or alliances. This is understandable. But the fact is, these can’t continue as they are. The trick is to rethink them. Do that, they’ll probably work perfectly.
Aquarius | January 19 – February 17
This week’s rare alliance between Saturn and your ruler Uranus is actually the second of a series of three. The first was in late December of last year, and the final one takes place this coming November. Knowing that, you’ll recognise that even seemingly pivotal decisions are only one of several.
Pisces | February 18 – March 19
There’s a difference between listening to advice, which can be amazingly informative, and allowing certain individuals to dominate what are, essentially, your own decisions to make. The problem is that, initially, they’ll seem concerned with your views. But, within days, they’ll try to take over, leaving you out entirely.
