Your Stars Today
Aries | March 20 – April 18
Somebody seems to be determined to blame you for a problem that has nothing to do with you. While, ordinarily, you’d address the issue swiftly, then move on to other matters, you’ll need to be forthright. This means confronting the individual in question. This ensures they won’t try a similar manoeuvre again.
Taurus | April 19 – May 19
Just when you were confident you’d finally reorganised plans that have been hit hard by recent, and rather sudden, changes, you’re faced with yet more disarray. Since this will continue all month, this time ensure whatever you organise is flexible, so when yet more changes arise, you can easily rethink things. Dr changes
Gemini | May 20 – June 20
Long ago you learnt there’s little point in discussing new ideas with somebody who simply refuses to break away from familiar or reassuring arrangements. However, with August’s two eclipses ushering in unexpected developments that influence everybody, including the individual in question, they’ll have no choice but to make those changes.
Cancer | June 21 – July 21
You may not be in the mood to rethink elements of your domestic or working life. But judging by the influence of August’s two eclipses, that’s exactly what destiny has in mind for you. Unsettling as the idea seems, once you begin making changes, you’ll realise they’re not just timely, they’re overdue.
Leo | July 22 – August 21
Over the past week or so, both your ruler the Sun and Mars, the planet of action and courage, moved into Leo. This, plus the rare pair of New Moons in your sign, the second of which is a pivotal eclipse, indicates you’re not just in for the unexpected, but life-changing breakthroughs.
Virgo | August 22 – September 21
No sign is better at gently informing those who seem unaware they’re not only doing something incorrectly but they’re causing others problems. With so much in disarray, however, things may not be what they seem. That being the case, do a little investigation before you speak to the individual in question.
Libra | September 22 – October 22
In certain areas of your life, you’ve managed to live with increasingly tricky situations, yet avoid disasters. However, these have nearly reached the point at which you’ll have to address complicated issues and work out who’s responsible for what. The sooner you begin discussing these, the better.
Scorpio | October 23 – November 21
If you’re feeling restless, it’s no surprise. Venus, has just moved into one of the most inquisitive portions of your chart. This is all about exploration, not commitment. That being the case, fearlessly venture into intriguing yet unfamiliar territory, both in terms of ideas and the people you spend time with.
Sagittarius | November 22 – December 20
Although you rarely think about it, you pride yourself on being open-minded. It’s only when you witness others making snap judgements or dismissing certain groups for their beliefs or background that you recognise your own strong feelings about being fair. Still, currently, you’re doing exactly that, judging something or somebody unfairly.
Capricorn | December 21 – January 18
August’s two eclipses, next Monday and on the 21st, are about shakeups, some not unexpected but as many sudden. In every case, these are influencing others just as much as you, which means discussing events and brainstorming together will enable you not only to cope with, but make the best of whatever arises.
Aquarius | January 19 – February 17
You may not be in the mood to alter, or even end, certain longstanding arrangements. But, on the other hand, some of these have become so boringly predictable that you find yourself thinking up excuses not to get together. You’ve more appealing alternatives. The sooner you say farewell, the better.
Pisces | February 18 – March 19
Sometimes issues can be defined and discussed all in one go. However, with eclipses on this coming Monday and on the 21st triggering changes in your own situations, others’ circumstances and the world around you, it’s likely you’ll go through several versions of even simple arrangements. The more flexible your approach, the better.
