Horoscope 2-7-2017

Your Stars Today

Aries | March 20 – April 18



On rare occasions, you find yourself refusing to go along with the ideas or plans of somebody, and for no good reason. This isn’t because of the actual situation but their pushy manner. As an Aries, you prefer to be in charge, and don’t welcome those who try to take your place.

Taurus | April 19 – May 19



Don’t be surprised if a bizarre challenge or confrontation comes your way. Being triggered by a clash between the volatile Mars and Pluto, the individual in question may not even realise they’re being aggressive. Knowing that, forget about discussion. Say the minimum, and allow them to calm down in their own time.

Gemini | May 20 – June 20



Generally speaking, ignoring those who blame others for their own problems is wise. But now, you and the world around you are in a period that’s all about clearing up confusion, past and present. That includes exactly such matters. Address these now, frankly and in as much detail as possible.

Cancer | June 21 – July 21



Somebody seems concerned that, in discussing the crucial matters that are currently the centre of attention, you’ll reveal facts they’ve been trying to conceal. The irony is, everybody, including the individual in question, is vulnerable to being exposed. You could try to explain this to them, although it’s unlikely they’ll understand your intentions.

Leo | July 22 – August 21



There are many ways to make it clear you’re not happy about certain arrangements. While, usually, simply expressing your views will do the trick, at the moment you’re dealing with one particularly manipulative individual. Knowing that, you’re better off sidestepping discussion of any kind and, instead, setting clear and undebatable limits.

Virgo | August 22 – September 21



Several times in the past you’ve raised the problems caused by one particular individual’s negative attitude or bad behaviour, but your efforts haven’t had much effect. That’s because the person in question actually enjoys irritating others, so delights in your discomfort. Your choices are to ignore them or confront them head on.

Libra | September 22 – October 22



Worrying as raising already tense issues seems, you’ll be amazed how delighted others are you’ve brought these up. Not everybody is as aware of the tensions that so worry you, which means that your efforts to discuss these will be viewed as nothing more than a jolly catch up session.

Scorpio | October 23 – November 21



It’s the rare Scorpio who, in arguments, demands having the last word. You’d rather say the minimum at the time, then allow others to discover how right you were later. Judging by the nature of the situations you’re currently facing, you’ve no choice but to be frank and forthright, and now.

Sagittarius | November 22 – December 20



Few things are as disillusioning as the discovery that somebody you’ve trusted has been economical with the facts. While there’ve been times when you’ve sidestepped details and avoided pointless issues, this is about finances and being fair. Say that. But should your past errors be mentioned, be prepared to respond.

Capricorn | December 21 – January 18



Now that it’s clear you can’t sidestep certain tense topics, you’ll want to do all you can to smooth the way for the inevitable dramas. As a Capricorn, you’d usually try to pretend things are fine when, in fact, they’re not. Discussing feelings openly isn’t easy but is definitely the best option.

Aquarius | January 19 – February 17



Change is in the air. While you’re intrigued by the ideas being discussed, you’re uneasy about getting involved. For now, you can avoid them. But by the time of August’s powerful Aquarius lunar eclipse, you’ll realise changes of this nature can’t be avoided and are, in fact, in your best interests.

Pisces | February 18 – March 19 



One particular individual is struggling with a situation they regard as unfair. While, deep down you know that’s not true, and the problems they’re facing are because they neglected their own responsibilities, you’re still tempted to lend a hand. Do so now and you expect more demands, and more frequently.
