Horoscope: May 25, 2017

Your Stars Today

Aries | March 20 – April 18



You’re facing a range of tedious but crucial situations, most of which require that you deal with them according to a rigid formula. Tempting as it is to sidestep this, it would be unwise. Try, and you’ll soon discover that not only is there no avoiding it, you could cause yourself serious problems.

Taurus | April 19 – May 19



In a number of situations you made promises, usually to others and mostly about financial matters. While these commitments made sense at the time, in several cases the actual issue in question has changed. Knowing that, review them all, knowing any problems you discover can be dealt with swiftly and easily.

Gemini | May 20 – June 20



There’s the sense of promise that comes with the potential for exciting changes, which is exactly what you’re dealing with. While this is wonderful, on the downside, you’re seriously short of facts. Be patient. By this time next week you’ll have learnt everything you need to know, and without much effort.

Cancer | June 21 – July 21



Only a few days ago, there was talk of ideas as exciting as they would be revolutionary. Yet now it’s as if nothing had taken place. That’s because everybody concerned, including you, has retreated to think about these. Once things are clearer, you can reconvene and discuss matters in greater depth.

Leo | July 22 – August 21



The current New Moon is timely, primarily because it’s about a fresh perspective, which is badly needed, and in a number of areas of your life. While some require personal reflection, others will benefit from frank and open discussion, even if it means revealing issues you’ve previously avoided mentioning.

Virgo | August 22 – September 21



When the month began, you’d have sworn certain changes weren’t just unlikely, they’d be a pointless nuisance. Since then, the actual circumstances you’re dealing with have shifted, and so suddenly and substantially that it’s now abundantly clear that things can’t, and shouldn’t, remain as they are. Explore your options, then act swiftly.

Libra | September 22 – October 22



Just when it seemed there was no way of avoiding a serious clash with somebody who’s already seriously annoyed, events have resolved the issues in question. Tempting as it is to back off, in the hope things will be calmer in the future, that’s unwise. These still need to be discussed, and frankly.

Scorpio | October 23 – November 21



While you’ve no fear of standing up to others, if you can avoid dramas, you’ll try to. However, in several situations what begin as tense clashes could turn into a rewarding exchange of ideas, one that wouldn’t have happened had you not been so frank about both your views and your feelings.

Sagittarius | November 22 – December 20



Usually your reaction to new ideas, offers or opportunities is to say a tentative yes first, then ask questions and learn from experience. However, what’s just come your way is overwhelming, in the sense you’re wary getting involved could lead to restrictive commitments. Perhaps. If so, they’ll be worthwhile.

Capricorn | December 21 – January 18



Out of character as it is to agree to an idea, offer or plan while still short of facts, that’s exactly what the current planetary setup suggests you’ll need to do. The trick is to ensure what you organise is flexible. That will allow you to make changes when the situation dictates, as it will.

Aquarius | January 19 – February 17



Only days ago you were questioning whether the disruptive but still exciting ideas or offers coming your way were worth pursuing. Now, without actually making a decision to explore them, you’re in the process of learning all you can about these. This isn’t just wise, it’s the next step before you say ‘yes’.

Pisces | February 18 – March 19



Now is the time to take a firm stand on certain matters you know aren’t just important to others, they’re determined to keep things are they are. That may be convenient for them but would cause you and those around you serious problems. Forget about hinting at this. Address the issue frankly.
