STARGAZING

Your stars for the week ahead.

SCORPIO OCTOBER 23 – NOVEMBER 21

Life may be complicated at the moment but your instincts are telling you that worrying if not bizarre events are all about putting things right. This applies to issues from the past and worrying matters in the here and now. True, trusting this takes faith. Still, stand back, even for a day, and you’ll realise just how perfectly things are organised. After that, you’ll relax.

SAGITTARIUS NOVEMBER 22 – DECEMBER 20

Being a fire sign, you thrive on new ideas and change. But even you could be overwhelmed by the swiftness and extent to the cycle of growth, excitement and expansion that begins now and lasts until mid-November. This includes your ruler Jupiter’s move into Sagittarius, on November 8, which alone promises a thrilling change in fortunes. For now, explore everything. Decisions can wait.

CAPRICORN DECEMBER 21 – JANUARY 19

Although ordinarily, you’d worry about changes over which you have so little control, your instincts are telling you they’re not only wise, they’ll be far better than anything you’d have devised yourself. The trick is to take each day, and its events and surprises, as they come. Often, what seems unwelcome is breaking up an increasingly restrictive arrangement or pattern. Have faith. You’ll soon learn why.

AQUARIUS JANUARY 20 – FEBRUARY 17

Changes in various elements of your everyday life, work or in close alliances may be worrying. Still your instincts are correctly telling you these are both timely and, ultimately, will be beneficial. The world around you is changing and so, too, must even seemingly solid arrangements. Once you understand what it’s all about, you’ll join with others and enthusiastically pursue this journey of discovery.

PISCES FEBRUARY 18 – MARCH 19

In the past, you’ve allowed yourself to be distracted by the complaints or even fears of others when, in fact, things weren’t just fine, they were brilliant. It’s the same now. Things are moving swiftly and, true, often facts are scarce. Still, your instincts are rightly telling you even puzzling evens will turn out brilliantly. Encourage others to be as enthusiastic, and the rest will be easy.

ARIES MARCH 20 – APRIL 19

There’s long been talk of excitement in elements of your life, but not much has happened. Within days the pace will speed up. As you move into the first two weeks of November, exciting if often unexpected events, ideas and offers will keep you very busy indeed. Knowing that, deal with any practical matters now, so you’ll be free to think and move swiftly then.

TAURUS APRIL 20 – MAY 20

With last Wednesday’s Full Moon in Taurus, and accenting close alliances, personal and business, certain issues couldn’t wait. This may have led to frank discussions, if not conflicts. Take the opportunity to review what was said, talking things over while it’s all fresh in your mind. This will end confusion and free you to focus on the exciting cycle of change just now beginning.

GEMINI MAY 21 – JUNE 20

Life is full of exciting ideas, some life-changing. If there’s any problem, it’s that often decisions aren’t in your hands. While, understandably, you’d prefer to be involved, often, others are better informed than you. What’s more, with the actual circumstances in question shifting, this isn’t about a single plan. There’ll be a series of exciting ideas which, ultimately, you’ll be involved in organising.

CANCER JUNE 21 – JULY 21

For ages you’ve tiptoed around potentially upsetting issues involving family, loved ones or close friends, hoping things would resolve themselves. They didn’t, but fortunately discussions were both frank and constructive. That dealt with, you’re free to focus on exciting yet unsettling ideas that would reshape your life. Explore everything. What seems least likely now could turn out brilliantly.

LEO JULY 22 – AUGUST 22

The last thing you’re in the mood for are disruptive changes in various elements of your life. Yet your instincts are correctly telling you these aren’t just wise, they’re exactly what’s needed. So waste no time on debate. The sooner you get involved, the more swiftly you’ll understand just how much promise these hold for you, in the form of offers and even breakthroughs.

VIRGO AUGUST 23 – SEPTEMBER 22

Ordinarily your talent for analysing plans and new ideas is a gift. Get too involved in those details now, and you could miss out on the exciting, if unsettling frequent changes. The more you learn, the more excited you’ll be about the direction these are taking you. While certain elements of these are unfamiliar, you’re thrilled, because you’re in the mood to learn something new.

LIBRA SEPTEMBER 23 – OCTOBER 22

Because you invest so much time, thought and, in some cases, heart in making arrangements it’s rare things need to be reorganised. Yet now they will be, and more than once. This is prompted by the thrilling, if unsettling, planetary activity between now and midNovember. Learn as much as you can and consider everything. What seems least likely now could turn out to be miraculous.
