Horoscope: 5 June, 2017
Your stars today
Aries | March 20 – April 18
Judging by this week’s dynamic planetary activity, any seemingly stuck situations won’t just get moving, the pace could be exhausting. The trick is to do as much as you can each day, but regard whatever you’ve organised as the first step. This ensures you’re prepared for the next day’s onslaught of events.
Taurus | April 19 – May 19
As much as you’ve learnt, and as many interesting people as you’ve met over the past month or so, most of these experiences and encounters have been a distraction. So much so that you’re now worried about the commitments you’ve neglected. Actually, you revisiting them will trigger a timely review.
Gemini | May 20 – June 20
You find few things more annoying than situations in which others simply refuse to talk things over. While that may seem to be the case now, with several planets moving into new positions within only a few days, confusion isn’t just inevitable, it could mean everybody, including you, will need time to think.
Cancer | June 21 – July 21
The recent arrival of the dynamic, courageous Mars into Cancer begins a six-week cycle of exploration and growth. While you may already have certain plans and potential ideas in mind, this cycle is about what you discover, do and who you meet, which could lead to thrilling, if not life-changing, surprises.
Leo | July 22 – August 21
There’s a difference between genuine problems and the array of setbacks you’re currently facing. The real problem is you’re so eager to get these dealt with and out of the way, that you’re not taking time to think them through. Once you do, you’ll realise the issue is they’re boring, and nothing more.
Virgo | August 22 – September 21
Being a painstaking Virgo, you not only thrive on a lively debate about the rights and wrongs of certain arrangements, you’ll often learn from others’ ideas and arguments. With so much in transition at the moment, around you and in more personal matters, you’ll find that these discussions are particularly informative.
Libra | September 22 – October 22
Talking things over with others is vital. There’s no arguing that. Still, now that the planet of action, Mars, has moved to accent the structure of your life, both at home and out in the world, the time has come to turn those discussions into reality. Plunge in, knowing details can wait.
Scorpio | October 23 – November 21
Judging by the recent powerful link between the planet of ideas and expression, Mercury, and your ruler Pluto, you managed to discuss a number of pivotal issues, and in a range of situations. While some were straightforward, in others you had to be unexpectedly revealing. You needn’t worry. Those involved will be discreet.
Sagittarius | November 22 – December 20
Fantastic as recent planetary activity involving both Saturn, which is positioned in Sagittarius, and your ruling planet Jupiter may be, making the best of what’s arisen means cooperating with others, possibly in unappealing arrangements. But true opportunities often involve exactly that, being open-minded, doing things differently or with people you’d rather avoid.
Capricorn | December 21 – January 18
Although the powerful link between your ruler Saturn and the inventive Uranus took place a little over two weeks ago, you’re probably still juggling the ideas or offers it triggered. While some were straightforward, others will have required considerable thought. Ironically, those could turn out best in the long run.
Aquarius | January 19 – February 17
Even at your canniest, you couldn’t have anticipated the amazing events currently reshaping your life. While you wouldn’t change any of these, you wish you had more time to explore your options. Since that’s not possible, instead focus on making decisions that can be easily rethought, should you decide it’s wise.
Pisces | February 18 – March 19
Judging by the recent clash between the Sun and your ruler Neptune, you’re wrestling with situations that, only days ago, seemed settled. Annoying as being faced with these sudden issues is, you’re better off dealing with them now, while the facts are fresh in your mind, than in the future.
