Horoscope 8-10-2017

Your Stars Today

Aries | March 20 – April 18



Appealing as the idea of a final decision may be, judging by October’s unsettled planetary activity, even the simplest of arrangements are unlikely to last as they were first organised. Knowing that, waste no time on fine-tuning these. Once they’re finalised, later in the month, there’ll have been many changes.

Taurus | April 19 – May 19



Planning ahead may be a virtue, and also mean you can turn your attention to other matters. However, judging by the coming weeks’ planetary activity, the foundation on which arrangements are based are bound to shift and could, in fact, change far more than you’d imagine possible. Knowing that, ensure plans are flexible.

Gemini | May 20 – June 20



Every once in a while you encounter somebody who simply refuses to accept responsibility for their mistakes. While, initially, you assumed this issue arose from time to time, it’s becoming increasingly clear this is their approach life and they have no intention of making any changes. You spend more time with them at your risk.

Cancer | June 21 – July 21



The cycle you’re in is all about progress, and part of that is about spotting what doesn’t work and being ready, and willing, to leave elements of the past behind you. While you’ve probably already been thinking of several such situations, you’ll soon find you need to turn your attention to others.

Leo | July 22 – August 21



Once you understand that October isn’t about making one, lasting, decision or a single, unchanging, plan but about refining both your perspective and arrangements, then everything else will make sense. You’ll exchange struggles about what to do with an easy relationship with even the most unexpected of developments.

Virgo | August 22 – September 21



There’s no easy way to criticise somebody, especially if their pride is involved. But something must be said. The secret is to compliment them first, on other things and then, in at least one way, regarding the issue to hand. After that, they’ll be ready to listen to, and discuss, your concerns.

Libra | September 22 – October 22



Urgent as certain personal and partnership issues seem, your instincts say it’s the time to raise them. Those feelings are right and, in fact, you’re better off waiting until the forthright Mars’s move into Libra, on the 22nd, gives you the courage to speak up and, where necessary, confront others.

Scorpio | October 23 – November 21



With a number of planets forming powerful alliances with your ruler Pluto, recently, and both now and over the coming week, there’ll be a lot to talk about. Tempting as it is to turn those ideas into plans, it’s too early. Make those plans but regard them as a bit of an experiment.

Sagittarius | November 22 – December 20



As a Sagittarius and a fire sign, you dislike wasting time on details in general, but especially if they seem pointless. However, in several matters you’re short of facts, so could dismiss seemingly unimportant discussions or even issues. Knowing that, make a point of asking why the matters raised are significant.

Capricorn | December 21 – January 18



Although the emotionally intense Full Moon was a few days ago, you’re still wrestling with certain issues that arose. This has far more to do with your anxieties about taking the ideas, offers or changes it’s ushered in than practical matters. Discussing these frankly won’t be easy, but it will be worth the effort.

Aquarius | January 19 – February 17



Usually, the line between a contentious discussion and an out and out argument is clear. However, you’ll find that even seemingly civilised exchanges are far more intense than usual. This is because the current tricky changes are stirring everybody up, and in many cases, triggering a difficult but unconscious mood.

Pisces | February 18 – March 19



For ages you’ve been trying to break away from certain necessary but very dull arrangements, and hoping to spend more time doing what you love. Now that the expansive Jupiter has moved to accent such matters, that will happen, and often in ways as unexpected as they prove to be thrilling.
