Your Stars Today

Aries | March 20 – April 18



Last minute changes in plans are no problem for you. However, certain individuals have a tendency to over-react, if not stubbornly refuse even to consider such changes. Time consuming as explaining why these are necessary may be, it’s worth the effort. And the sooner you do it, the easier it will be.

Taurus | April 19 – May 19



As much as you’d like to get certain pivotal decisions settled, events have thrown obstacles in your way. Actually, this is in your best interests. The actual foundation on which these plans are based is shifting, and this forces you to take things slowly enough you can explore changes as they arise.

Gemini | May 20 – June 20



Giving up on certain longstanding plans wouldn’t just be a disappointment, it would be a compromise. However, each day yet another obstacle arises. These are important, but not for the reason you think. They’re forcing you to explore in ways that will broaden your horizons and, ultimately, lead to improving on existing arrangements.

Cancer | June 21 – July 21



The time has come to give some serious thought to your priorities. Clear cut as these seem, changes in the background and your own shifting priorities have given you good reason to pause and rethink these. What you discuss or discover could take you into new, unexpected and exciting territory.

Leo | July 22 – August 21



The most important thing to bear in mind at the moment is that there’s a difference between the variety of decisions you’re making now, and final decisions. The latter will have to wait, probably until late August, after the powerful Leo eclipsed New Moon, which triggers events that will change everything, possibly overnight.

Virgo | August 22 – September 21



It would be no surprise if you assumed that either somebody’s made a mistake or, worse, they’re being economical with the truth. Although this seems the only explanation for the problems you’re facing, it appears you may be the culprit. You tackled arrangements in a rush, and are now paying the price.

Libra | September 22 – October 22



Although it’s not fair, the responsibility for putting recent dramas to rest involves telling others you’re moving on, and hoping they will, too. This won’t be easy, especially because you’re still upset. However, the fact is, dwelling on these won’t do anybody any good, while focusing on the future will.

Scorpio | October 23 – November 21



Only days ago, you’d have flatly refused even to discuss certain issues you regard as strictly personal. Yet you’re now happily talking these over, and with a frankness that you’d have thought impossible. Bear this in mind when other seemingly unspeakable matters arise. They, too, would benefit from equally forthright conversations.

Sagittarius | November 22 – December 20



Of the twelve signs, you are perhaps the most inquisitive. Yet even you could be surprised, if not shocked, when you realise how little you know about certain matters. While, ordinarily, these would be of minor importance, sudden changes in circumstances are forcing you to learn about them, and very swiftly indeed.

Capricorn | December 21 – January 18



In early June the forthright Mars moved to accent close alliances, personal and those out in the world. This has led to a series of discussions, some heated, most frank and all productive. A few issues remain. Tackle them soon, ideally before the 20th, when Mars departs this portion of your chart.

Aquarius | January 19 – February 17



It could seem the fact even simple arrangements aren’t lasting long is an indication things are going very wrong. Look around you, however, and it will soon become clear that others are struggling with similarly unreliable situations. While this is a period of growth, there’ll be several versions of plans before anything solid emerges.

Pisces | February 18 – March 19



Usually part of the process of making plans involves defining, then working out, everything from minor issues to major disagreements. However, not everybody is being honest about their concerns. This means that, despite your best efforts, you may have no choice but to proceed while still unsure where certain individuals stand.
