STARGAZING

Your stars for the week ahead.

LIBRA SEPTEMBER 22 – OCTOBER 22

Whatever your approach to simple plans or others’ issues, somebody will be disagreeable. Knowing that, be bold. State your desires, clearly and without inviting debate. While this clarifies your thinking now, it’s also preparing you for the Libra New Moon, on the 19th, which constitutes a fresh start. By then, you’ll be clearer who and what you’ll welcome in this new chapter of your life.

SCORPIO OCTOBER 23 – NOVEMBER 21

True, Jupiter, which moves into Scorpio on Tuesday, for a year, is about good fortune. Still, there’s more to it than that. Yes, lucky breaks are possible. But also, you’ll be broadening your horizons via new or unfamiliar people, places and ideas. And you’ll prosper from them, in many ways. The more willing you are to explore these, the more you’ll enjoy this remarkable period.

SAGITTARIUS NOVEMBER 22 – DECEMBER 20

You’re easygoing about even unexpected changes. Yet your ruler Jupiter’s move into the most strategic portion of your chart on Tuesday, triggers a cycle of developments, which are mostly out of your hands. While, initially, you’ll struggle with those, you’ll soon realise these are taking you into new territory, and better yet, just how much you’ll learn from them.

CAPRICORN DECEMBER 21 – JANUARY 18

One of your greatest strengths is your ability to focus on what you’re doing, whether it’s a challenging task or time spent with loved ones. However, between now and late December, powerful planetary shifts shake up your routine. While unsettling in the short term, this triggers a timely review of those routines and, even more, a serious rethink of who and what you put first.

AQUARIUS JANUARY 19 – FEBRUARY 17

Few things annoy you more than those who say no to changes without even discussing them. Yet this could be your unthinking reaction to sudden, potentially life-changing, ideas. These, which are ushered in by the move by Jupiter, planet of growth, to accent the structure of your life, introduce people and experiences beyond anything even you would have conceived possible.

PISCES FEBRUARY 18 – MARCH 19

Advising others about dilemmas or, equally, making suggestions about taking advantage of thrilling ideas or offers seems easy. Still, don’t. You’re short of facts. But, also, you’re moving into a period of growth of all varieties. Easygoing as this seems, it’s crucial, enough that you’re urged to give it priority over advising others, even those closest.

ARIES MARCH 20 – APRIL 18

Every Full Moon brings feelings and circumstances to a head, but because the recent one was in Aries, much of what arose involved personal issues and your priorities. This raised several questions. While some will be resolved swiftly, others need more time. Tempting as it is to seek a quick fix, take it slowly. This allows for both vital discussions with others and deep personal reflection.

TAURUS APRIL 19 – MAY 19

As a practical earth sign, you’re superb at focusing equally on life’s duties and its pleasures. However, with so much in transition, you won’t always be sure what, or who, should come first. Instead of struggling to devise a fair solution, get others involved, even those whose wisdom you question. This brings out the best in them and, better yet, yields brilliant if entirely unexpected ideas.

GEMINI MAY 20 – JUNE 20

What’s going on, around you and in your own life, is exciting but also unsettling. What’s more, with each day bringing something new, even discussing your feelings or organising future plans with others seems impossible. The trick is to get everybody talking about these ideas and, equally, to ensure it’s understood any plans you make are more of an experiment. Commitments should wait.

CANCER JUNE 21 – JULY 21

Understandably, you feel life will be a lot easier when changes involving several aspects of your life are settled. Don’t rush things. Not only are these still in transition, developments between now and late October, could turn already appealing ideas into something extraordinary. While being patient until the facts are clear won’t be easy, it will be worthwhile.

LEO JULY 22 – AUGUST 21

Occasionally, the planetary setup shifts, and promises not mere change, but breakthroughs in elements of your life you’ve regarded as frustratingly fixed. Tuesday’s move by Jupiter, which is about expansion, if not just plain good luck, kick-starts exactly such a cycle. And, better yet, it’s there for a year, which means you’ve time to explore your numerous options.

VIRGO AUGUST 22 – SEPTEMBER 21

The obstacles you’re currently facing seem insurmountable. That’s because they’re forcing you to employ your intuition alongside that clever mind of yours. This won’t be easy. But once you do, you’ll view both obstacles and appealing but perplexing ideas or offers in a clearer light, one that will enable you to proceed with confidence.
