Your Stars

- with Patrick Arundell

Aries March 21 – April 20

Intensely emotional about something? You may be keen to act but lack the energy to go for it. Mars in Pisces can make it hard to feel motivated. With dreamy Neptune in the picture, it’s worthwhile checking that you understand the situation as there’s a lot of room for confusion. The right decision could resolve everything. Be sure to reward yourself if you do get a result.

Gemini May 22 – June 21

When it comes to your goals and ambitions, you may feel pulled in various directions. And the Moon’s link to Neptune might add to any confusion. It can be easier to relax and let the day carry you where it will rather than make decisions about what to do and who to connect with. Yet you could miss out if you leave things to chance, so focus on your main priority instead.

Leo July 24 – August 23

Restless feelings can be a result of Venus’s ongoing link to Uranus, which could mean that you find it hard to settle to your usual routine. Factor in unexpected events, and it may be easier to respond to life as it happens as planning might not be an option. Do you long to hear from someone close, yet far away? Be proactive Leo, as a chat can leave you on cloud nine.

Libra September 24 – October 23

Need to hold a difficult conversati­on? If so, the urge to avoid it may be strong, Libra. But the Moon’s tie with Neptune suggests that you might also decide to bend the truth a little to make it more acceptable. If you’re mainly honest, one or two white lies likely won’t matter. But if you go too far it won’t help you or the situation and could possibly make things a lot worse.

Sagittariu­s November 23 – December 21

Busy today? Be prepared for things to pan out differentl­y to what you had expected. With an ethereal aspect on the go there could be confusion, with others getting times and dates wrong or being generally unmindful. Still, if you’re going to an event or mingling with friends or family, there’s a scintillat­ing and uplifting vibe ongoing that will make it all so much fun, Archer.

Aquarius January 21 – February 19

There are days when it may appear lonely pursuing a goal or dream, especially if you’ve had to cut back on other activities to accomplish it. You might feel this way over the next day or so as you contemplat­e a scenario in which you could have lost out on family time and other fun options. Once the results start rolling in though, they can offset any seeming setbacks.

Taurus April 21 – May 21

You could have far too high an opinion of someone Taurus, even if you’ve only just met them. Even if they aren’t trying to impress, you’ll still zero in on what you perceive as their sterling qualities. They may be perfectly nice, but just remember that all that shines isn’t necessaril­y gold. However, one thing to take note of today is that you’ll succeed when you ask questions.

Cancer June 22 – July 23

Your creative side may be nudged into action. Are you inspired by the work of other artists? If so, it might have left you with a desire to indulge your own talents. With a very imaginativ­e aspect on the go, dive in and see where your art, craft or musical ability takes you. Trying new methods and techniques could put you on the path to a whole new way of working and being successful too.

Virgo August 24 – September 23

Your curiosity may be in full spate, encouragin­g you to connect with people and places and to uncover the latest informatio­n on subjects of interest. It’s an exciting time, as you might travel somewhere that has a certain magic about it or find out something that could be to your advantage. You can be too generous for your own good Virgo, which is worth rememberin­g.

Scorpio October 24 – November 22

Don’t be in too much of a hurry to seal a deal or make a commitment, as there are two factors which can limit progress. The Moon/Neptune link could coincide with mixed messages and misunderst­andings, so be ready. And Mercury is also slowing down prior to rewinding next week, so someone may promise the earth and then change their mind very quickly, Scorpio.

Capricorn December 22 – January 20

Finding it difficult to communicat­e with someone? This may be down to a confusing link that might see you trying too hard. Relax and don’t make too big a thing of it. Be yourself and just let the conversati­on flow naturally. If you tune in you’ll pick up on this person’s real thoughts and feelings in a telepathic way, and this can assist you in saying the right words at the right time.

Pisces February 20 – March 20

You could feel a tad on edge if things don’t happen as you expect. But with Venus still linked to Uranus, there’s a chance a key event can be reschedule­d. If so, the cosmic backdrop suggests a pause while you get your bearings. This might not be the disaster it seems, especially as there’s a better chance of something happening that you didn’t anticipate, but that may be amazing.
