Your Stars Today

Aries | March 20 – April 18



The time has come to make a few changes. These are no surprise, mostly because you’ve being thinking about them for ages. It’s just you knew they’d be complicated, so put them off. However, things have reached the point at which these changes aren’t just wise, they’re necessary. And within the coming week.

Taurus | April 19 – May 19



If there’s any one thing you’ll want to remember now and as you move into the month of January, it’s that what seem simple plans will need to change, and change often, as the actual circumstances in question shift. Which they will, also often. Knowing that, organise things so you can make those changes easily.

Gemini | May 20 – June 20



On occasion you forget that, as a Gemini, you’re far more curious than others. Which means that without really realising it, you’ll often be better informed on certain matters. This includes those who consider themselves to be experts. Being conscious of this ensure that, should somebody misstate the facts, you can correct them, but tactfully.

Cancer | June 21 – July 21



While you don’t think of yourself as stubborn, when something must be discussed or dealt with, you can be amazingly persistent. While, mostly, that’s a virtue, it could lead to problems. For now, back off. The less you dwell on the issue on question, the less significant it will become.

Leo | July 22 – August 21



The recent encounter between your ruler the Sun and the cautious and precise Saturn, in the down to earth Capricorn, kick-started a cycle of analysis and careful planning. While there’s no arguing this is wise, it will take you a while to understand why the process must proceed so slowly.

Virgo | August 22 – September 21



While every sign is influenced by the move by precise Saturn into a new position, because it’s now accenting those individuals you care about most, from friends to loved ones, issues are bound to arise. Worrying as these seem initially, it will soon be clear you can resolve these once and for all.

Libra | September 22 – October 22



It’s easy to forget that progress always means leaving behind some element of the past. While, often, that’s a relief, at the moment it appears you must say farewell to something to which you’ve a sentimental attachment. Yet, that’s what’s been holding you back. The sooner you let go, the better.

Scorpio | October 23 – November 21



If you feel events are challenging certain of your views, if not forcing you to reflect on situations you long ago decided weren’t worth it, you’re right. In fact, judging by the current powerful planetary emphasis on viewing these, and other matters, from a fresh perspective, it’s time for a serious rethink.

Sagittarius | November 22 – December 20



Between the range and extent of changes taking place, and the future plans being discussed with others, you’re under pressure yet short of facts. Resist the temptation to organise things based on what you know and make an educated guess about the rest. Before you do a thing, gather all the information you need.

Capricorn | December 21 – January 18



At the moment mid-January probably seems a long time away. But once you’re aware that it’s unlikely you’ll have a clear picture of either changes that need to be made or what must go until the Capricorn New Moon, on 17 January, you’ll stop struggling to get things organised now.

Aquarius | January 19 – February 17



Long ago you realised that while certain individuals actually are extremely sensitive, others pretend they are, mostly so they can have their way. While, in the past, you’ve gone along with this pretence, it’s preventing you addressing certain issues between you. Ironically, this will free others as much as it does you.

Pisces | February 18 – March 19



Because you’re in the run up to the emotionally intense Full Moon, you could easily confuse the excitement of the new and often entirely unexpected events taking place as reason for concern. While, as with anything unfamiliar, you may wonder what you’re getting into, the more you learn, the less anxious you’ll be.
