Your Stars Today

Aries | March 20 – April 18



Yet again, you’re contending with exactly the kind of rules or regulations you not only can’t stand, you do all you can to ignore them. While that strategy’s worked in the past, this time around they’re crucial. They’re so important, in fact, if you dismiss them now, you’ll regret it bigtime later.

Taurus | April 19 – May 19



Few things are more dispiriting than being told plans you’ve not only struggled hard to organise, but think are wonderful, won’t be possible. Ask a few questions, and you’ll soon learn the issue is practical, and nothing more. Investigate. What you discover could enable you to rethink these so they’d work.

Gemini | May 20 – June 20



You’re facing a dispute, one that’s unimportant, but involves a situation in which every individual, including you, is sure they’re right. And won’t back down. The only real answer is to absent yourself, that is, get so involved in something else you’re able to ignore what is, in truth, a minor issue.

Cancer | June 21 – July 21



As a sensitive water sign, obviously, you’d prefer to find tactful solutions for contentious matters. But judging by the clash between the volatile Mars and practical Saturn, these need to be dealt with frankly, and right away. That being the case, gather your facts and clarify your thinking and, even more, your priorities.

Leo | July 22 – August 21



During the past year, the expansive Jupiter has been accenting discussion and new ideas. While you’ve learnt a lot, few of those plans have been put into action. Now that Jupiter’s moved  its focus to the structure of your life, not only will things begin to move, often developments will unfold virtually overnight.

Virgo | August 22 – September 21



By no means are you rigid in your thinking or attitude. However, once you’ve gathered facts and have formed an opinion, for obvious reasons, you tend to stick with what you’ve decided. While, at other times, that makes sense, currently it would mean missing lots of fascinating offers. Explore absolutely everything.

Libra | September 22 – October 22



While it’s true, you have a wonderful sense of when to speak up and, equally, those times when it’s best to keep your thoughts to yourself, your instincts aren’t as clear as usual. If in doubt, say nothing. Unwise as this seems now, within a very short period you’ll realise how sensible being silent was.

Scorpio | October 23 – November 21



Everybody seems to have something to say. This is no surprise, since the communicative Mercury is forming a series of powerful aspects to most of the planetary heavyweights. While that promises plenty of talk, that by no means indicates it’s time to make decisions. For now, focus on discussion and exploration.

Sagittarius | November 22 – December 20



Your ruling planet Jupiter moves into a new sign, and new position, every year or so. And it’s just shifted into the most strategic, and reflective, portion of your chart. This indicates events or circumstances will slow your pace. While, annoying, at least initially, you’ll soon realise how much you’re learning.

Capricorn | December 21 – January 18



As a Capricorn and an earth sign, you’d rather take more time organising plans and making sure they’re correct from the outset, than do things in a rush and hope they go well. However, not everybody is as painstaking. Since it’s unlikely others will notice, simply deal with any worrying issues yourself.

Aquarius | January 19 – February 17



There’s no arguing this is a tricky week during an unsettled period. While you might be able to blame the rather casual approach of certain individuals to their responsibilities, there’s more to it than that. It’s that they need to make a change, and soon. Once they do, they’ll regain their enthusiasm.

Pisces | February 18 – March 19



Appealing as the idea of making, and finalising, decisions may be, judging by the coming weeks’ planetary activity, changes aren’t just inevitable, they’ll be necessary. Knowing that, regard whatever you organise as more of an experiment than a plan, and when those changes arise, you won’t be in the least surprised.
