Your Stars Today
Aries | March 20 – April 18
When you first organised certain plans, some weeks ago, things were fairly straightforward. But with August’s two eclipses shaking things up, you’ll need to rethink those plans, possibly more than once. Knowing you’ll be dealing with such unpredictable situations, be very sure that anything else you organise is flexible, as well.
Taurus | April 19 – May 19
Be prepared that, when discussing certain changes you’re making in both existing arrangements and future plans, certain individuals may be surprised. While you’ve given considerable thought to these yourself, you really didn’t discuss them with others. Explain your thinking. It will make life easier for everybody, now and as those plans unfold.
Gemini | May 20 – June 20
Usually you’re the first to both hear about, and explore new ideas. Yet you’ve almost ignored certain recent developments. Only those who know you very well understand why. They’re a reminder of difficult, if not disastrous, arrangements you once faced. There’s no better time than now to make them part of the past.
Cancer | June 21 – July 21
Being an instinctive water sign, you’ve probably realised that you’re in the midst of a period of unsettling change. But while others are complaining, you’re confident that even disruptive events will, when viewed in retrospect, been seen as breakthroughs. The trick is getting others to see then that way as well.
Leo | July 22 – August 21
Exciting as the next month or so will be, many of the events coming your way will lead to changes more far reaching than you’d conceived of. Tempting as it is to struggle to rein these in, not only is it impossible, in retrospect, you’ll realise they kick-started a thrilling new cycle.
Virgo | August 22 – September 21
You fear there’s an almighty battle building up. While you wouldn’t be involved directly, somebody you’re close to would. You can’t help but wonder if talking this over with the individual in question could help avert a clash. It might. Raise the issue but be prepared for that discussion to go nowhere.
Libra | September 22 – October 22
Difficult as it is for you to admit it, certain activities or even friendships that were once rewarding no longer are. What’s more, you’ve tried to find a new approach that would bring back the excitement that’s missing and it hasn’t worked. That’s because you’ve changed, so much that it’s time to move on.
Scorpio | October 23 – November 21
For ages you’ve felt that certain important relationships have needed an injection of excitement. But not only have you been unsure how to say that without worrying the individual in question, you’ve had nothing to suggest. Actually, simply discussing this will do wonders. Try it and you’ll realise just how true this is.
Sagittarius | November 22 – December 20
Power struggles can take many forms. While, with your quick mind and gift for charming others, you’re usually able to find a way around serious battles, Friday’s clash between your ruler Jupiter and the planet that accents such matters, Pluto, indicates you’ll have no choice but to deal with these head on.
Capricorn | December 21 – January 18
You don’t think of yourself as stubborn. It’s not until you’re faced with the combination of sudden changes in circumstances and their impact on others’ lives that you realise how fiercely you resist unexpected developments of this nature. Consider this carefully. Changes of this variety could be in your best interests.
Aquarius | January 19 – February 17
Initially, you hoped that recent clashes with one particular individual were because of the tense mood or being overwhelmed. But things between you have changed. It’s worth discussing these matters. But don’t wait. If you tackle the issues in question now, the odds are good you’ll find ways to resolve them.
Pisces | February 18 – March 19
Puzzling as it is to you, one particular individual seems determined not to acknowledge their role in certain tricky situations and, worse, is refusing to discuss potential solutions. Bizarre as this seems, back off. The circumstances they’re dealing with are more complex than you realise or, in fact, could imagine possible.
