Your Stars Today

Aries | March 20 – April 18



You’ve skipped inconsistently significant facts many times but when it comes to important matters, you’ll stick with the truth, even if it upsets others and causes you inconvenience. Still, the questions raised by the recent clash between your ruler Mars and the uncompromisingly honest Pluto are so forthright you’ve no idea how to respond.

Taurus | April 19 – May 19

Waste no time trying to untangle recent mistakes or misunderstandings. Ill-considered as that seems at the moment, with each day of this complex week introducing yet another change, the more flexible plans are, the better. For now, focus on exploring your options. More lasting arrangements can, and should, wait.

Gemini | May 20 – June 20

Sometimes clashes with others are nothing more than that, a difference of opinion. However, in certain matters it’s worth digging a little deeper, simply because you could discover that what were once minor misunderstandings have turned into something far more complex. Discuss these now, while they can still be easily untangled.

Cancer | June 21 – July 21

Living with unresolved tensions is no fun. However, the situations you’re dealing with are complex enough that even understanding them will take time. The trick is to discuss things frankly, with an eye to creating a dialogue that will lead to the solutions you’re seeking. Still, you’ll need to be patient.

Leo | July 22 – August 21



Challenging as recent discussions were, you achieved so much that you’re confident a solution is within reach. While that’s true, situations aren’t nearly as straightforward as they seem.  Ironically, what you learn exploring these unexpected obstacles will enable you to define, and deal with, even complex issues before you finalise anything.

Virgo | August 22 – September 21



Because you’ve a quick mind and a knack for remembering minor but unusual facts, whatever the debate or argument, you’ll usually have the last word. Now, however, seemingly reliable information won’t be. Don’t argue but, instead, back off and do a little investigation. What you learn will be as surprising as it is illuminating.

Libra | September 22 – October 22



Few situations puzzle you more than those who know perfectly well how to deal deftly with tricky situations but who, despite that, adopt a provocative approach. Admittedly, with volatile Mars having been at odds with the manipulative Pluto, everybody, including you, will have sometimes adopted to this irritating, if not aggressive, manner.

Scorpio | October 23 – November 21



When you look back on the week’s just past, especially what seemed crises at the time, it’s clear you had something to learn from each. Bear this in mind when similarly perplexing issues appear this week. What’s most important isn’t what you do, but the insights you gain from what arises.

Sagittarius | November 22 – December 20



As a Sagittarius, you’re by nature optimistic. Consequently, you’ve no interest in listening to advice from those whose perspective on life is about preventing disaster. Although you may not agree with their views, it’s worth learning about their concerns, even if you decide that, ultimately, you can afford to ignore them.

Capricorn | December 21 – January 18



While you’re rightfully proud of your ability to set and achieve goals, from time to time a review is wise. Although you’ve already been rethinking some, others are on your mind as needing attention, if not major changes. Once you investigate a bit more, you’ll realise how wise these would be.

Aquarius | January 19 – February 17



Initially, you’ll assume others were careless about their timing or there was a mixup in plans. Actually, the issue’s more complex. The individual in question isn’t ready to discuss or deal with certain matters but hasn’t the courage to say so. For now, accept last minute changes as nothing more than that.

Pisces | February 18 – March 19 



Admitting is that somebody you’ve trusted is unreliable and, worse, that they’re taking advantage of you isn’t easy. But that may be the case. Tempting as it is to say nothing and hope for the best, you’re better off voicing your concerns and, even more, saying exactly what you expected of them.
