Your Stars Today

Aries | March 20 – April 18



If ever there was a time to both review longstanding arrangements and, just as much, to examine recent hastily organised plans, it’s now. Distracting as this seems, especially when things are moving so swiftly, with Mercury retrograde, minor errors are inevitable. Catch them now, before they turn into major problems.

Taurus | April 19 – May 19



When you commit to a plan or project, you’ll stick to it until it’s done. While that results in a huge sense of accomplishment, it can also mean you neglect other elements of your life, out in the world and, even more, at home. Focus on balancing these. You’ll be glad you did.

Gemini | May 20 – June 20



Not everybody has the variety of conversations in their head that you do. You rewrite previous conversations, talk things over with others. While, on occasion, this inner chatter drives you crazy, it also means you’re more aware of others’ views and the direction of their thinking than they are themselves.

Cancer | June 21 – July 21



Appealing as the idea of a ‘final decision’ may be, August has been such an unsettled month that even what seem straightforward plans or arrangements are unlikely to proceed as planned. Knowing that, regard whatever you organise as an experiment, and even unexpected or dramatic changes won’t bother you in the least.

Leo | July 22 – August 21



It’s not that you’ve been secretive but, rather, you genuinely thought that certain facts were unimportant. It turns out they were, and had you mentioned these before now, things would have been far less complicated. Keep this in mind, especially since other similar situations will arise, and more swiftly than you’d expect.

Virgo | August 22 – September 21



There’s a difference between making a decision, which you have been and will be, and making final decisions. Between August’s two eclipses and your ruler Mercury retrograde until 5 September, you’re better off viewing even the simplest of arrangements as tentative. That ensures you’ll be able to make changes as the need arises.

Libra | September 22 – October 22



Only days ago you feared that sudden, and complex, issues simply had no solution. However, recent events have revealed not only the behind the scenes manoeuvres of one particular individual, but what they had to gain from turning what were no more than simple dilemmas into a major crisis.

Scorpio | October 23 – November 21



Ordinarily you’d not only question pointless, and inconvenient, changes in ongoing arrangements, you’d battle to keep things as they were. While you’re right to worry about potential disruption, with things moving so swiftly, certain arrangements will need to change, and change again. As you’ll discover, that’s very much these case with these.

Sagittarius | November 22 – December 20



Yet again you’re stuck in a situation in which you’re happy with the way things are going, but somebody else wants to plan ahead. And in detail. While, ordinarily, you’d ignore such demands, certain individuals become very anxious without detailed arrangements. Unnecessary as it seems, do what you can.

Capricorn | December 21 – January 18



You instinctively sense when you can ignore details versus times when you must be rigorous. It’s the latter now. This is primarily because thrilling ideas or offers are likely to emerge in unexpected ways. Keep close track of facts as you proceed, and you’ll take advantage of these without going over everything again.

Aquarius | January 19 – February 17



With both the Sun and Mercury in the portion of your chart the accents joint interests in general, and the practical and financial side of these in particular, you may need to leave certain pivotal decisions to others. Uneasy as you are about this, you’ll soon discover others know more than you thought.

Pisces | February 18 – March 19



Having anybody accuse you of wrongdoing is never pleasant. But, now, others are trying to shift the blame for their mistakes or errors your way. Knowing that is one thing. Rejecting their manoeuvres to have you shoulder responsibility requires a firm statement that you weren’t in charge. Say nothing more.
