Your Stars Today

Aries | March 20 – April 18



When you look back on this rather complicated week, you’ll realise every one of those twists and turns you faced offered an insight, if not valuable information. True, at the time dealing with those details may have seemed a nuisance. But with each passing day you’ll be increasingly aware how much you’re learning.

Taurus | April 19 – May 19



The last thing you’re in the mood to do is make changes. However, with both the Sun and powerful Saturn just having moved to accent new ideas and ways you could broaden your horizons, these aren’t just likely, you won’t have much choice. Still, you rightly sense you’ll learn from these.

Gemini | May 20 – June 20



While, obviously, every sign is influenced by the confusion triggered by your ruler Mercury’s retrograde cycle, which has just ended, it’s had a greater impact on you. This isn’t just about those errors but, rather, the personal issues that were highlighted, and which events forced you to deal with, once and for all.

Cancer | June 21 – July 21



Only days ago, you were worried about others being upset by changes in plans they’d organised, but in a half-hearted manner. However, their absence of concern about the state of affairs or impact it would have on others has convinced you it’s not only wise, but necessary, to take matters into your own hands.

Leo | July 22 – August 21



Being a somewhat impatient fire sign, you’ve developed a tolerance for living with the quirks of others, mostly because talking over the issues in question would take time you’d rather be using for other things. Yet, bizarrely, now that Mercury is no longer retrograde, these can be resolved in one quick discussion.

Virgo | August 22 – September 21



The past weeks will have been complicated for you but, as you’ll have noticed, others have been struggling, as well. Now that this tricky period is ending, you’re relieved. But, to your dismay, others are still upset. Tempting as it is to do something, ignore them. They actually enjoy complaining.

Libra | September 22 – October 22



As out of character as deliberately offending somebody may be, you long ago learnt it’s the best way to get certain otherwise contentious individuals to discuss matters they’d rather ignore. Take this approach and act fast, since with the circumstances in question moving swiftly, you’ve very little time.

Scorpio | October 23 – November 21



Although the New Moon, which is about a fresh start, took place last Monday, with so much going on and so many changes in the air, even simple decisions have demanded lots of talk and taken time to resolve. Still, finally things are falling into place, which will be a huge relief.

Sagittarius | November 22 – December 20



Not everybody notices the precise date Mercury’s retrograde cycle begins and ends. But because it’s positioned in your sign, you’ll probably notice that suddenly life is less complicated. Better yet, the odds are good that certain issues that arose over the past weeks, while it was retrograde, will resolves themselves, some overnight.

Capricorn | December 21 – January 18



The period since early November, when the planet of ideas and communication, Mercury, moved into the most strategic portion of your chart, has been as confusing as, ultimately, it’s been informative. Reflect on what you’ve learnt and you’ll be inspired about ways to handle dilemmas you have yet to resolve.

Aquarius | January 19 – February 17



If asked to describe yourself, you probably wouldn’t choose the word ‘idealist’. Yet you are, both about what you do and what you hope for, especially for others. Which is one of the reasons unsettling events so worry you. While that’s understandable, bide your time. These aren’t just good, they’re brilliant.

Pisces | February 18 – March 19



The last thing you’re in the mood for is being tough with others, especially those who turn even minor issues into major dramas. But they know they’re being unreasonable, so are exactly expecting you to draw the line. Do exactly that. Once things are clear, they’ll behave better and everybody will be enormously relieved.
