Your Stars Today

Aries | March 20 – April 18



It’s not that you don’t trust others but, rather, you fear they’ll be so thorough and painstaking about plans that they’ll take forever. But dealing with everything yourself will only complicate matters. Discuss your concerns and ask those around you for their ideas. Together you’ll come up with a joint solution.

Taurus | April 19 – May 19



The process of discussing alternative plans can be interesting, but not when existing arrangements are complicated and took a very long time to organise. Yet judging by the Sun’s link with fortunate Jupiter, the more willing you are to explore those new concepts, the more you’ll benefit from unexpected ideas or offers.

Gemini | May 20 – June 20



Certain ideas, plans or future ventures may not be exciting. But if things go well, they’d enable you to deal with a range of increasingly demanding situations, and all at once. And with the Sun, the newly arrived Jupiter and your ruler Mercury all accenting these, they deserve to take first priority.

Cancer | June 21 – July 21



Tempting as it is to agree to the demands of one particular consistently difficult individual, you’d regret it. They regard these battles as a game. Once they win, they’ll become even more demanding. On the other hand, as with all bullies, once you’ve stood up to them, they’ll back down instantly.

Leo | July 22 – August 21



Usually, you decide whether to trust others based on a combination of your instincts and experience. While certain cautious individuals are insisting you seek something more solid or reliable, you’re right in thinking that with so much in transition, past performance will offer little in the way of helpful insights.

Virgo | August 22 – September 21



As a Virgo and an earth sign, you dislike committing to plans without having a very good idea what’s involved. Yet with several of the planetary powerhouses moving into new positions during the last few months of the year, changes are inevitable. Knowing that, ensure whatever you organise is flexible.

Libra | September 22 – October 22



It now clear that while certain individuals weren’t exactly dishonest, that is, they didn’t lie to you, they deliberately left out pivotal information. Confront them, demanding the full facts. Even more, bear in mind that because they weren’t trustworthy in these matters, there’s no guarantee they’ll be reliable in the future.

Scorpio | October 23 – November 21



Some opportunities are so good they can’t be missed which means, despite the disruption that taking them would cause, ignoring them simply isn’t an option. Once you accept the fact that a period of disarray is the price you’ll have to pay for the progress they bring, you won’t mind it as much.

Sagittarius | November 22 – December 20



One of your greatest strengths, as a fire sign, is your willingness to stand your ground, even when the situation is challenging or the odds are against you. Yet now that the Sun, your ruler Jupiter and Mercury are in the most strategic portion of your chart, analysis isn’t just wise, it’s vital.

Capricorn | December 21 – January 18



Don’t be shy about voicing your doubts about the changes others are already making or the disruptive projects they’re discussing. Express your concern, in the form of forthright questions. Worrying as their plans seem, once you know more, you’ll realise these aren’t just a good idea, they’d benefit others and, just as much, you.

Aquarius | January 19 – February 17



During this period of often unsettling but also thrilling change, you won’t always be able to spot what’s worthwhile versus risky situations. Urgent as decisions seem, this period is all about exploration, for you and for others. That being the case, focus on learning as much as you can. Decisions can wait.

Pisces | February 18 – March 19



While your concerns that sudden changes in your domestic or working life might upset others are logical, problems are unlikely. The individuals in question are being influenced by the powerful developments currently reshaping your life, and are likely to be making a few changes of their own, so won’t mind at all.
