Your Stars Today

Aries | March 20 – April 18



Annoying as sudden changes in plan are, they’re not only unavoidable, ultimately they’ll be in your best interests. However, because you’re still short of facts, you’ll need to talk things over, possibly in tedious detail. Time consuming as all that may be at the moment, the results will be well worth the effort.

Taurus | April 19 – May 19



There’s a fine line between the current contentious mood and there being actual problems. The fact is, certain of the issues you’re dealing with have been brewing for some time. It’s now become clear, they can’t be ignored. The more swiftly you acknowledge and discuss them, the sooner they’ll be resolved.

Gemini | May 20 – June 20



Mercury, your ruler, not only moves into a new sign Tuesday, over the coming days, it powerfully aspects both Uranus, planet of the unexpected, and the fortunate Jupiter. Unsettling as the changes these trigger may be, any temporary chaos will be justified by the exciting new ideas that come your way.

Cancer | June 21 – July 21



As much as you’d like to deal with one increasingly worrying issue involving family or domestic matters, this can’t be rushed. In fact, you’re better off waiting until the 19th, when the New Moon will usher in a helpful fresh approach, one that could lead to a solution, and within days.

Leo | July 22 – August 21



You don’t know as much as you think you do. That may sound insulting. But it’s important that you recognise the fact that where, recently, you were really on top of things, that’s no longer the case. Still, recent developments are interesting, enough you’ll actually start the process of bringing yourself up to date.

Virgo | August 22 – September 21



In late September, the fortunate Jupiter clashed with inventive Uranus, kick-starting a cycle of questioning and, often, unexpected change. It’s two weeks later, but those changes continue. And while they’re thrilling and often entirely unexpected, you’ve begun to realise that what’s most disruptive is, ultimately, exactly what’s needed in the long term.

Libra | September 22 – October 22



Often, planning ahead is wise. But now, prior to the Libra New Moon, on the 19th, which is all about a fresh perspective, you’ll want to do the reverse. The more flexible both your thinking and plans are, the better positioned you’ll be to take advantage of the intriguing ideas and offers it ushers in.

Scorpio | October 23 – November 21



You’re just beginning an exciting and ultimately worthwhile cycle of your life, one that will lead you into new territory, in terms of both your everyday life and your beliefs about what’s possible. For now, regard any plans as tentative. That ensures you’re able to explore unexpected options as they appear.

Sagittarius | November 22 – December 20



On Wednesday, the communication planet Mercury meets your ruler Jupiter, newly arrived in the most strategic portion of your chart. This offers you an opportunity to discuss the questions and, perhaps, doubts it triggers and, equally, talk over its influence on close alliances, personal and out in the world.

Capricorn | December 21 – January 18



Confronting those who need to be spoken to frankly isn’t easy but it’s a relief. Yet certain matters remain that you felt could be ignored but are a source of increasing concern. Discuss these with those who’re involved, briefly but also frankly. You’ll soon be glad you did.

Aquarius | January 19 – February 17



It’s rare that you’re unsure about asking probing questions. On the contrary, you’ve a knack for getting even the shiest and most reserved of individuals to discuss matters that, ordinarily, they wouldn’t even mention. But now even you are having trouble getting them to open up. Be patient. It’s all a matter of timing.

Pisces | February 18 – March 19



Don’t be surprised if others aren’t just unreliable, but when asked about the reason for these difficulties, are temperamental. Things are changing in everybody’s life, including yours. It’s just that the individuals in question aren’t nearly as good at dealing with ups and downs, and the stresses caused by these events.
