STARGAZING

Your stars for the week ahead.

TAURUS APRIL 20 – MAY 20

It may be events are unsettled or perhaps your mood is unusually changeable. These ups and downs are part of the cycle of growth and development triggered by the recent arrival of inventive Uranus in Taurus. This isn’t about a single event but an ongoing shift in both your own perspective and circumstances. Explore. The more inquisitive you are, the more exciting your world will become.

GEMINI MAY 21 – JUNE 20

Usually you’re the first to discuss new ideas. However, currently you are spending more time reflecting on what works, what doesn’t and what’s next than talking things over. This is wise, as it means you’re able to observe the week’s stunning opportunities from the sidelines and give them serious thought. Decisions? Ideally, they’ll wait until the powerful insights that accompany mid-June’s Gemini New Moon.

CANCER JUNE 21 – JULY 21

Pivotal elements of your work, lifestyle and long term goals are in transition and, mostly, out of your hands. That could seem worrying. But, actually, you’ve a rare opportunity to observe the direction things are going and, importantly, reassess your priorities and broaden your perspective. For now, give serious thought to what, and who, you could do without and, equally, what you’d like more of.

LEO JULY 22 – AUGUST 22

Once you understand that what’s most disruptive, if not just plain unwelcome, is an opportunity in disguise, you’ll stop battling sudden changes and at least explore them. True, events have been sudden and left you short of facts. Combine your initiative, as a fire sign, with your Leo charm and you’ll soon discover new avenues of activity and, possibly, changes far better than you’d previously conceived possible.

VIRGO AUGUST 23 – SEPTEMBER 22

Few things annoy you more than being forced by unwelcome circumstances to get involved with ideas or, worse, people who hold little interest. But judging by the increasing emphasis on thinking differently about what you do, focus on and who you meet, this isn’t just timely, these experiences will open up your world in wonderful ways. For now, at least explore. You won’t regret it.

LIBRA SEPTEMBER 23 – OCTOBER 22

While there’s no escaping certain pressing decisions, the secret is to regard each as an experiment. This may be out of character. But it will also enable you to organise your life yet ensure things are flexible enough you can explore the appealing, if disruptive, ideas and offers currently coming your way. Some will broaden your horizons then vanish, but others will transform your life for good.

SCORPIO OCTOBER 23 – NOVEMBER 21

Although you’re good at giving the appearance you’re leaving decisions to others, you normally have arranged things in the background so the outcome is already inevitable. Yet shakeups have thrown your strategy into disarray. Actually, that’s good, because when the unexpected events promised by late May’s planetary activity arise, you’ll plunge in and discover their promise for yourself.

SAGITTARIUS NOVEMBER 22 – DECEMBER 20

Usually you’re easygoing about even seemingly disruptive developments. However, when recent events altered plans in which you’d already made decisions, your instinct was to battle them. Wait, watch and learn instead. Since the Sagittarius New Moon, on the 29th, is about a fresh perspective, you’ll not only understand how those changes will work, you’ll be enthusiastic about them.

CAPRICORN DECEMBER 21 – JANUARY 19

No sign gives more thought to the wise use of time, ideas and money than Capricorn. Yet recently you’ve focused excessively on those and too little on what and who brings you joy. True, tricky situations have been demanding. Still, rethink your priorities. This may seem impossible. But that’s the point. Once you have the necessary fresh perspective, there’ll be no question where changes are needed.

AQUARIUS JANUARY 20 – FEBRUARY 17

Last Wednesday the dynamic Mars moved into Aquarius, starting a review of existing arrangements. Equally, it’s about broadening your horizons via unfamiliar and often adventurous activities. While some have been on your mind for ages, others would take you into new and potentially unsettling territory. For now, explore everything. You might encounter something that would transform your life.

PISCES FEBRUARY 18 – MARCH 19

Even the most down to earth of Pisceans, believe life-changing offers sometimes appear from nowhere. And judging by the perplexing situations you’re facing, you’d welcome a few miracles. They’re coming, and before the end of May. However, since they won’t always be recognisable for what they are, say no to nothing and explore everything. Still, what works will be a genuine surprise.

ARIES MARCH 20 – APRIL 19

You’ve accomplished a lot over the past few months, but life hasn’t been much fun. Consequently you’ll enjoy the shift in routine and focus that comes with the recent move by your ruler Mars into sociable Aquarius. Besides, you’re finally able to compare notes with friends and colleagues regarding sudden developments. Better yet, these remind you how wonderful having time to enjoy life can be.
