Your Stars Today

Aries | March 20 – April 18



The only way you’ll be able to eliminate the confusion that’s delaying progress in crucial plans is by detailing certain past issues you’ve been carefully sidestepping. Ironically, your intention in not mentioning these was to avoid delays. The sooner you tell others about these, and in detail, the better for everybody.

Taurus | April 19 – May 19



For ages you’ve meant to raise your concerns about certain persistent issues with friends or family members. The mystery is that, otherwise, things are great. Being a Taurus and ruled by the gracious Venus, you’re more aware of situations of this nature. Should you decide to raise these, keep that in mind.

Gemini | May 20 – June 20



Being asked for advice is bad enough. Usually you’ll sidestep such requests with a touch of humour. But now somebody seems determined not only to get advice from you, they intend to make it the foundation of certain plans. Discuss your concerns frankly. It may be that you could be helpful.

Cancer | June 21 – July 21



Judging by the current tricky planetary setup, and especially difficult aspects to the always temperamental Mars, even minor issues could easily flare up into major dramas. Worrying as these seem at the time, bear in mind they’re history. Knowing that, say nothing. Simply allow them to blow over, as they’re likely to.

Leo | July 22 – August 21



For ages you’ve stuck to one particular discipline, knowing it was good for you. Now, however, events are creating serious complications, and you’re concerned you’ll have make changes. That might be a hint from destiny that it’s time not only to review your current routine but, perhaps, begin a new one.

Virgo | August 22 – September 21



The facts may seem clear cut, but even you could be mistaken about certain matters or discover vital information about which you’ve been unaware. And you’re not alone in facing these surprises. Actually, those around you are as ill-informed as you are. That being the case, compare notes, now and frequently.

Libra | September 22 – October 22



Letting go of long cherished dreams isn’t easy. Yet you’ve sensed that if things went as you hope, there’d be problems anyway. The real challenge is saying farewell without having a new idea, plan or vision to replace what’s on its way out. Have courage. You’ll need time to think about what’s best.

Scorpio | October 23 – November 21



At times in the past when you’ve been forced to discuss matters you regarded as strictly private, you’ve talked about only what seemed necessary and kept the rest to yourself. Don’t try that approach now. Not only would it backfire, it would compromise the trust you’ve built with certain individuals.

Sagittarius | November 22 – December 20



There’s no wrong way to disagree with others. However, during a period such as this is, when difficult situations could lead to misunderstandings, you’re urged to think things through and, equally, be ready to smooth the way with a charm offensive. Once you’ve got these organised and in place, things should go smoothly.

Capricorn | December 21 – January 18



You’ve always thought of yourself as being both a clear-thinker and frank with others. While that’s true, there are one or two matters in which you sidestep facts, and have for so long, you don’t even realise it. Yet you’re about to discuss these situations and had best be prepared to tell all.

Aquarius | January 19 – February 17



When you first decided to keep certain potentially unsettling facts to yourself, it wasn’t just because these reflected badly on others but, also, they didn’t seem that important. Now that circumstances have changed, they are. That being the case, raise and discuss these frankly, and as soon as possible.

Pisces | February 18 – March 19 



Everybody tells what’s usually referred to as a ‘white lie’, from time to time. At the moment, however, what seems an innocent situation, one in which you’re avoiding upsetting anybody could backfire on you. Difficult as saying things others don’t want to hear may be, in the long run it’s best.
