Your Stars Today

Aries | March 20 – April 18



The past couple of weeks have been as unsettling as they’ve been dynamic. This has meant certain of your plans got waylaid while you focused on sudden developments. Now that those have been handled, it’s really important that you make a point of returning your attention to those activities you were pursuing.

Taurus | April 19 – May 19



Long ago you developed a talent for spotting the variety of tense situation in which unnecessary, and potentially, contentious facts are best excluded from a discussion. While that might seem logical now, others know more than you think, so would immediately spot what you’ve left out. Discuss absolutely everything.

Gemini | May 20 – June 20



Keep in mind that, in showing interest in certain ideas or offers, you’re doing no more than that. Ensure others understand that and be clear about it in your own mind. This will give you a chance to explore your options and discuss what might be next, but without making a commitment.

Cancer | June 21 – July 21



There’s no point in arguing with those who say they want to be helpful, but who’ll discuss only the factual side of the situations in question. While certain elements can be analysed in this manner, many more are about what you sense and feel, something certain individuals will never understand.

Leo | July 22 – August 21



If ever there was a time to aim high, it’s now. True, certain well-meaning individuals are saying that going for the new ideas or untested offers currently being discussed would be unwise, if not risky. Yet you can’t help but think how much you’d regret it if you didn’t at least explore them.

Virgo | August 22 – September 21



Certain rather uptight individuals are, bizarrely, criticising what’s actually one of your most admirable traits. And that is your curiosity. Your pleasure in learning about people, places and ideas. The individuals in question are struggling with their own issues and are jealous of the joy you derive from exploring in this way.

Libra | September 22 – October 22



Few things are more exasperating than somebody making a faithful promise, then breaking it, within days and for no reason. While it may look that way, once you learn more about what’s been going on behind the scenes, you’ll understand what was the cause of both those sudden changes and that silence.

Scorpio | October 23 – November 21



Not only are the Sun and Mercury in your sign, you’re benefitting from the influence of Jupiter, the planet of good fortune. It’s worth remembering however, that the events it triggers may seem unwelcome or even disruptive, at least initially. But once you learn more, you’ll exchange that anxiety for excitement.

Sagittarius | November 22 – December 20



During the past few weeks, you’ve either been short of facts or were forced by circumstances to be so discreet that discussions achieved little. Try to be patient. In early November, the planet of communication itself, Mercury, moves into Sagittarius and, finally, you’ll be able to make up for lost time.

Capricorn | December 21 – January 18



Persistence may be a virtue. But in certain already complex situations, sticking with a single concept or arrangement could actually be the cause of problems. Unappealing as the idea of taking plans back to the drawing board may be, do so and you’ll soon spot minor errors that, if remedied, would change everything.

Aquarius | January 19 – February 17



Theoretically, as a clever air sign, you’ll have no problem dealing with the range, and extent, of changes currently reshaping your life. However, some of these involve a very real shift in arrangements you’ve regarded as stable, if not fixed. As a result, you’ll have lots of questions but very few answers.

Pisces | February 18 – March 19



Being patient isn’t easy, but it’s vital. Exciting and, indeed, promising as certain plans are, you can’t yet see how they’ll fit with existing arrangements. Things are still taking form. The turning point is the Sun’s superb alliance with your ruler Neptune, on Friday. After that, everything will be crystal clear.
