Your Stars Today

Aries | March 20 – April 18



You take a certain pride in being unsentimental about the kind of things that seem to hamper others’ freedom. Yet this is one of those rare moments, possibly due to the recent emotionally intense Full Moon, when you’ve not only realised how much you care about certain people and certain matters. DR certain

Taurus | April 19 – May 19



Theoretically, the fact that Mercury’s just concluded its retrograde cycle will bring an end to confusion and the resulting clashes with others. But that won’t erase the complex issues that have arisen over the past several, rather complex, weeks. Things will get untangled, but it will require time and patience.

Gemini | May 20 – June 20



It’s the rare Gemini who needs to be right about everything. Instead, you’ve always known that what many regard as solid facts are more of an opinion than anything else. This makes it easier to deal with clashes in perspective, such as you’re now facing, and to be easygoing about others’ struggles with them.

Cancer | June 21 – July 21



Be especially wary of certain individuals who have a talent for sidestepping blame for certain rather tricky matters. While these weren’t their fault, they were involved and, even more, their advice would have been helpful. The real problem is, they’re not generous in this way and, sadly, never will be.

Leo | July 22 – August 21



Recently, when you avoided even mentioning certain matters, it was because there was nothing to say. That’s only partly true. Actually, the recent lack of process has so annoyed you, that you didn’t want to discuss it. Get past this. Talk things over frankly. You’ll be amazed how much you learn.

Virgo | August 22 – September 21



One particular individual is an expert at manipulating you. While you’re aware of this and, mostly, are able to ignore their manoeuvres, with so much in transition, you’re feeling unusually vulnerable. Still, that’s no reason to go along with their demands. Saying no won’t be easy but really is your only choice.

Libra | September 22 – October 22



Practically speaking, talking through future plans, then making a list of things that need to be done, point by point, seems wise. While that’s true, you’ll need to be patient, probably until Wednesday’s potent link between your ruler Venus and the practical Saturn. What you do and decide then should do the trick.

Scorpio | October 23 – November 21



The best way to organise plans during a period as unsettled as this, is to regard everything as a bit of an experiment. That not only encourages you to take chances in a way that wouldn’t ordinarily be the case, you’ll find you’re more open to other unexpected ideas and offers, many extraordinary.

Sagittarius | November 22 – December 20



Few things are more disappointing than the discovery someone you trusted has been deceiving you. Despite appearances, the issue is more of a misunderstanding than anything else. That being the case, say you’d like to talk this through. They’ll be delighted, and what you hear will be a relief to you.

Capricorn | December 21 – January 18



When you first sidestepped could ideas, the issue wasn’t the actual concepts but a worrying lack of solid facts. This is no surprise, since with August’s two eclipses shaking things up, reliable information has been in short supply. Happily, the coming weeks will be calmer, enough you can think things through.

Aquarius | January 19 – February 17



One of your greatest virtues, as an Aquarius, is your interest in the new and unfamiliar simply because they’re interesting. You may, or may not, get involved with or employ these. The point is you simply enjoy learning about them. Not everybody understands this and some, in fact, could misinterpret your motivation.

Pisces | February 18 – March 19



If you’re unable to say ‘yes’ to certain plans but also just can’t say a firm ‘no’, then for now, say nothing. Be aware, however, with each passing day, your position is weaker, mostly because others will have given their views, pro and con. If you want to have an impact, speak up now.
