Your Stars Today

Aries | March 20 – April 18



There is no right way to have fun. However, you’re contending with somebody who not only believes that’s true, they’re trying to show you what’s best. While their intentions are good, obviously you’ll do things as you like. Tempting as it is to confront them, back off. Anything you say will result in a drama.

Taurus | April 19 – May 19



Being tender-hearted by nature, you’ll do almost anything to show those you love how much you care. Thoughtful as this is, discuss your ideas first. Much as you’d like to surprise them, their interests have changed, far more than you realise. This means what you do for them must, too.

Gemini | May 20 – June 20



Being you you rarely run out of ideas. Yet in one particular matter, you’ve absolutely no idea what to do. Explore your options but bear in mind, it may not be until the New Moon, on the 20th, with its accompanying fresh perspective, that you’ll be able to assemble all the puzzle pieces.

Cancer | June 21 – July 21



Although you try not to be critical of others, especially if their attitude or antics won’t really affect you, one particular individual has become seriously annoying. Bizarrely, they not only know that, they actually enjoy being irritating. The only solution is to firmly put them, and their provocative activities, out of your mind.

Leo | July 22 – August 21



Others are saying to sidestep worrying issues. They fear discussions will turn into dramas. While you don’t mind a bit of theatrics, you’re now wondering whether you should be concerned. The solution is to wait. Within a few days tempers will have calmed enough to discuss these matters in a civilised fashion.

Virgo | August 22 – September 21



When you first talked over certain tricky issues, you sidestepped points you feared would turn discussions into an out and out battle. However, these matters remain a source of concern. Create a special occasion to tackle these, and these alone. While you’ll need to be seriously diplomatic, the results will justify your efforts.

Libra | September 22 – October 22



Long ago you committed to an arrangement because of a mistake, and were trying to make it up to the individual in question. You’re only now realising things weren’t nearly as bad as you were told. While this gives you every right to disentangle yourself, you’re still hesitant. Think carefully about that.

Scorpio | October 23 – November 21



Only days ago, you were battling ideas or even solid plans that excited others but which you regard as risky. Since then, however, events have revealed just how sound, and timely, these arrangements are. Yet you’re still wary. It isn’t easy to admit, but it’s more about your ego than facts.

Sagittarius | November 22 – December 20



Being one of the three fire signs, you’re always happier when you’re free to use your instincts to make decisions. However, judging by the series of recent and future aspects that involve the painstaking Saturn, you’ll have no choice but to investigate the facts, and base plans on them, and them alone.

Capricorn | December 21 – January 18



Certain individuals are in a difficult mood. This could take the form of complaining about nothing, being demanding or criticising you. Whatever the case, tempting as it is to address the issue in question, you’re better off ignoring it. Try to be patient. The whole thing will pass as swiftly as it arose.

Aquarius | January 19 – February 17



Being an inquisitive air sign, you not only enjoy spending time with those closest, when they’re struggling with issues, you’re happy to listen, if not lend a hand. Now, however, they’re wresting with the same sudden developments you are, which means you’ll want to analyse, then work these through, together.

Pisces | February 18 – March 19



The problem isn’t expressing your views about certain worrying issues. It’s that you’re being less than frank about both the actual situation and your concerns about what will happen if arrangements aren’t altered, and substantially. Once you begin, others won’t just agree, they’ll be relieved you had the courage to speak up.
