Your Stars Today
Aries | March 20 – April 18
Setting goals is one thing. It’s true, you’ve reviewed a number of situations and rethought your objectives and, better yet, updated your plans. However, putting this into action may be more complicated than you thought. Proceed. But first, examine any obstacles. Then having done that, begin the process of actually rearranging those plans.
Taurus | April 19 – May 19
In mid- July, the dynamic Mars moved to accent the structure of your life, that is, your setup at home and out in the world. In turn, you realised that, in certain situations, changes weren’t just wise, they were urgent. Yet you’ve put them off. Act now, while you can without unnecessary dramas.
Gemini | May 20 – June 20
Talking talk things over with those who’re so involved with their personal dramas they’re unable to take in your worthwhile ideas or suggestions can be frustrating. While, obviously, you wouldn’t want to abandon anybody in this state of mind, leave them to it. Ultimately, they’ll have to deal with these issues themselves.
Cancer | June 21 – July 21
Making even simple promises when things are in disarray, as is the case after August’s two eclipses, can be risky. Rather than sidestep these, discuss these matters over with the individuals in question, and be as forthright as possible. Together you could devise a plan that will sidestep all that confusion.
Leo | July 22 – August 21
Although you complain that certain people seem to rely on you for both help in decision-making and, as much, for support, you like being needed. Which means that when the individual in question, or somebody else, deals with matters you’ve previously organised on their own, you could feel hurt if not rejected.
Virgo | August 22 – September 21
There’s nothing like a frank discussion to clear the air. By and large, that’s a wonderful way to deal with both practical issues and hurtful misunderstandings. However, with so many changes having taken place and more continuing, you’re better off focusing on any specific concerns and keeping any such discussions to a minimum.
Libra | September 22 – October 22
Change doesn’t bother you in the least. This includes events that could lead to major shakeups, as is now the case. But others aren’t as flexible. Which means you’re welcoming what just arisen, mostly because they’re forcing certain habitually contentious individuals to go along with thingd, and without the usual arguments.
Scorpio | October 23 – November 21
With the communication planet Mercury retrograde, minor errors, past and present are more likely to spring up. While you could deal with these as swiftly as possible, invest time in discovering how they occurred. Do that, and the odds are good you’ll be able to prevent similar issues in the future.
Sagittarius | November 22 – December 20
If elements of the past several years have been challenging, it’s due to the presence of the stern but practical Saturn in Sagittarius. While you’ll undoubtedly be relieved when it departs your sign, in December, looking back on what you learnt, you’ll also be grateful for the challenges you encountered and overcame.
Capricorn | December 21 – January 18
Ordinarily, the encounter between the Sun and ideas planet Mercury, in your fellow earth sign of Virgo, would lead to serious brainstorming. Bear in mind, however, that with Mercury retrograde, not everything will work out as you envisioned. While some things could go wrong, others could turn out better than you anticipated.
Aquarius | January 19 – February 17
For you, as a clever and quick-thinking air sign, going over the same issues repeatedly isn’t just tedious, it’s a waste of time. But not everybody has picked up on certain subtle points, and will need to review what’s been said and ask questions. It won’t be easy but it’s worth being patient.
Pisces | February 18 – March 19
It’s not that changes are unwelcome. However, they are disruptive, so you like to get matters settled as soon as possible. Take your time. In fact, it’s unlikely much will be clear until after the Pisces Full Moon, on 6 September, brings both facts and your feelings about these matters together.
