Your daily stars

Patrick Arundell has been a professional, self-taught astrologer for over 25 years. His interest began when he was at high school and over time, became a burning quest to understand what made him and others tick.

PISCES

20 FEB - 20 MAR

It might seem easier to placate another than tell them the truth. But a lunar influence involving Neptune in your sign suggests a relationship may change for the better. You may both want the same thing but are coming at it from different angles.

ARIES

21 MAR - 20 APR

Does it feel like a case of them against you on a key issue? If you’ve tried to be diplomatic, you may feel like being blunt, even if this does stir things up further. Pointing out some home truths might bring it to a head, but it can also hasten a solution.

TAURUS

21 APR - 21 MAY

Wonder why you feel awkward around a certain person? It could be their presence stirs up an old emotional experience. If this energy comes to the fore over coming days it may be an opportunity to tackle it. Talking with a friend can help you let it go.

GEMINI

22 MAY - 21 JUN

Positive outcomes result from mingling with others who relish your enthusiasm for life. Yet you could clash with those who do not share your values, especially on issues you feel strongly about. This may be a deciding factor on potential new connections.

CANCER

22 JUN - 23 JUL

You may wonder why someone seems indifferent regarding a recent success of yours. They could be jealous. If the past day or so has been intense in this regard, don’t let it get to you. Before long this may blow over and they may become an avid supporter.

LEO

24 JUL - 23 AUG

A potent alignment hints that an opportunity could be more promising than you think. Feel attracted to someone? They may seem highly desirable, but could they feel the same about you? It’s best not to rush into anything on the off chance.

VIRGO

24 AUG - 23 SEP

You might have the chance to tackle something that’s been niggling you, Virgo. And it could be the catalyst that encourages you to make a few decisions and sort this out. Once you take control you’ll be amazed at what you can accomplish and how easily things come together.

LIBRA

24 SEP - 23 OCT

With tactful Venus moving to align with sobering Saturn there is no harm in admitting that you need to talk or would like help with something. Even if doing so makes others aware of weaknesses of yours, you’ll also have access to much-needed support.

SCORPIO

24 OCT - 22 NOV

An imaginative influence could be why it’s difficult to focus on mundane matters. Today’s Moon/ Neptune tie might inspire you to dream up an idea that can seem unrealistic but is very appealing. With a little savvy you will make it happen.

SAGITTARIUS 23 NOV - 21 DEC

You may find yourself eager to socialise, and paradoxically needing seclusion to think things through. This can be an excellent opportunity to resolve issues that might be hanging over you as it could create space for fresh opportunities.

CAPRICORN 22 DEC - 20 JAN

There are plenty of opportunities for enjoying yourself, but they can be richer by meeting with kindred spirits who understand you as you really are. They may see a caring and compassionate side to you which they’re drawn to, Capricorn.

AQUARIUS

21 JAN - 19 FEB

Is life a snarl-up? If so, it may be down to outside circumstances that trigger deep-seated feelings and get in the way of making a move. This may cause a whirlpool of emotions. Just let them move through you and they will leave.
