STAR GAZING

World-renowned astrologer Shelley von Strunckel writes a daily column exclusively for tabloid!

Aries (March 20 – April 19)

As you’ve undoubtedly realised, there’s a trick to dealing with this exciting but unsettling week’s events. And it’s to ensure anything you organise is flexible enough that as circumstances shift you can rethink plans, often within minutes. While others may struggle with this fast pace it will make you feel more alive.

Taurus (April 20 – May 20)

Unsettling as the last minute offers coming your way may be, you know you’d regret refusing them. While it’s true these would be disruptive they’d also bring a new excitement to your life. This will more than justify any temporary chaos or the need to reorganise various elements of your schedule.

Gemini (May 21 – June 20)

Ordinarily when differences with others arise you say whatever needs saying, then move on. However, you’ve been unable to make peace with one or two issues and the individuals involved with them. Instead of brooding over these, discuss them with the person in question.

Cancer (June 21 – July 22)

While you can’t plan ahead for the unexpected, the Cancer Full Moon on the 25th is bound to be a turning point. It could even bring numerous tricky issues to a head. Knowing that’s the case you can afford to be more relaxed about these, if not temporarily ignore them.

Leo (July 23 – August 22)

The current New Moon accents certain individuals who are dear to your heart. This could refer to close friends, offspring or possibly lovers. Whatever the case, exciting changes in their lives are bound to lead to changes in yours. Unsettling as these seem initially, you’ll soon be delighted they took place.

Virgo (August 23 – September 22)

Although Mercury is no more than the planet of ideas and communication, its position and its cycles are of significance to everybody. This is especially the case for you as it’s also your ruler. Consequently its move to accent who and what you care about most is likely to prove astonishingly informative.

Libra (September 23 – October 22)

If you must face a dispute with anybody you prefer to have a forthright exchange, one that touches on every issue involved and so clears the air. The individual you’re dealing with not only doesn’t think that way, they see no reason to tell you what they actually feel or believe.

Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)

Annoying as last minute changes in plan are, between now and the end of December there’s no avoiding them. Worrying as that sounds, once you’re actually in the midst of this period of transition you’ll find it’s not only interesting, you’re likely to enjoy the company of those you meet.

Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)

Exciting as some of what’s coming your way may be, with the cautious Saturn in your sign it’s vital you keep close track of every detail. This may not be your usual approach to making plans. But things are unsettled enough you’ll want to double check everything that you’re told.

Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)

As a Capricorn you have a strong sense of privacy. You keep your concerns to yourself, often even from those closest. Yet the changes triggered by the recent New Moon are forcing you to discuss these. Much as you dread it, speaking openly about them will be an enormous relief.

Aquarius (January 20 – February 17)

Since mid-November the dynamic Mars has been prompting you to broaden your horizons. While you’ve explored all sorts of ideas and places and met interesting people, there’s no clear picture of what’s next. Be patient. It remains accenting these until early January. A great deal can happen.

Pisces (February 18 – March 19)

Long ago you realised that while some appreciate your vision as a Pisces, others lack the imagination to understand what inspires or excites you. While you’ve tried to explain, your words have fallen on deaf ears. Yet you’re still trying to get your point across. Stop. It isn’t worth it.
