Your Stars Today

Aries | March 20 – April 18



It would be safe to say Aries is one of the most determined of birth signs. This means that, when facing obstacles, you’d never consider giving up. Mostly, that’s a virtue. But now it’s preventing you recognising the fact that certain once-promising plans simply aren’t going to work out as you hoped.

Taurus | April 19 – May 19



Few things are more disappointing than discovering somebody you trusted wasn’t as reliable as you thought. Before questioning their dependability, ask a few questions. This is an unsettling period, one that’s forcing many to make sudden changes. That might well have been the case but you won’t know if you don’t ask.

Gemini | May 20 – June 20



While your inquisitive nature is an asset, once you’ve formed an opinion about something or somebody, you can be surprisingly rigid. While usually that doesn’t matter, at the moment it’s preventing you from seeing the promise in certain new, and unfamiliar, ideas or offers. At least consider these. You’ll be glad you did.

Cancer | June 21 – July 21



The last thing you want to do is undermine others’ enthusiasm. Yet several individuals are struggling with obstacles, and in a range of situations. The fact is, they may need somebody to suggest they consider a serious rethink, if not explore giving up and trying something new, and less challenging.

Leo | July 22 – August 21



Upsetting as watching what were once important parts of your life come undone may be, you’ve long sensed these were coming to an end. It’s just you didn’t know what was next, so stuck with what was familiar. Now that you’re having hints of promising ideas, it’s easier to say farewell.

Virgo | August 22 – September 21



Understandably, you’re in no mood to go back to the drawing board with plans, arrangements or alliances you’ve worked hard to organise and that others have committed to. Yet you’ll either need to rethink them or, possibly, let them go. If so, you’ll come up with something better, and within days.

Libra | September 22 – October 22



It would appear you find yourself having more commitments than you do time. This is partly because you assumed one particular individual would cancel, as they almost always do. But, equally, you underestimated the response to certain ideas. Don’t simply hope for the best. Explain, then ask others’ help reorganising things.

Scorpio | October 23 – November 21



There’s a distinct difference between minor changes or what some call ‘tweaks’, and those that, while unsettling, are worth the disruption they’d cause. Though these are coming, they’re unlikely to appear in a recognisable form until the New Moon, the 23rd. Between now and then, explore every option that comes your way.

Sagittarius | November 22 – December 20



When you make arrangements, you almost expect them to change, and often, change again. But not everybody thinks that way and, in fact, somebody you’re dealing with regards even minor changes as a big deal. While you can’t avoid alterations entirely, you can try to keep them to a minimum.

Capricorn | December 21 – January 18



Watching longstanding plans come undone can be unsettling. In the case of those you’re currently struggling to keep afloat, it’s actually distressing. Yet these haven’t just been troublesome, they’ve become a source of increasing concern. Letting them go will free you to move on to something less demanding and more rewarding.

Aquarius | January 19 – February 17



Untangling recent confusion may take time. However, what you learn in the process will more than compensate for the aggravation of dealing with certain disorganised individuals and their apparent inability to stick to a plan, even for as long as a day. It’s up to you to demand a lasting arrangement.

Pisces | February 18 – March 19



Sometimes problems are exactly that, issues that require discussion and analysis. However, what you’re currently facing may be simpler than it seems. The problem is you need to make a few changes in certain practical matters. Worrying as these seem, dealing with them will be far easier than you imagine.
