STAR GAZING
World-renowned astrologer Shelley von Strunckel writes a daily column exclusively for tabloid!
Ordinarily you’d respond instantly and positively to recent exciting ideas or offers. However because these involved the planet of focus, order and discipline, Saturn, you were facing unappealing rules or regulations or alternatively tedious details. While that’s possible the flexibility required will be justified by the results now and in the future.
Planning ahead may be wise, but judging by the powerful and positive encounter between your ruler Venus and the fabulous Jupiter the more open you are to unexpected ideas or offers the better. Some may make sense, others seem strange or even pointless, but they’re all likely to turn out brilliantly.
Your impatient streak is rarely mentioned mostly because you move so quickly from one topic, plan or project to another that the pace of change is never discussed. But now it’s important you be aware that while certain plans won’t work out as swiftly as you’d like they’ll be worth waiting for.
Unsettling as recent discussions were, the ideas that have emerged from them are as thrilling as they are unexpected. While obviously you’d like time to both learn more and think about whether these are wise, things are moving too swiftly for any but the briefest of reflection. Respond immediately or not at all.
While you’re an expert at appearing to be easygoing and often unconcerned about decisions there are certain issues that matter a lot. And several of those will be discussed if not dealt with over the coming week. Ensure others know how important these are or they won’t even ask for your views.
In early November your ruler Mercury moved into the part of your chart that accents the structure of your life joining the practical Saturn there. Not only that, with these two planets meeting twice before the end of the year discussions won’t just be informative they could lead to timely and far-reaching changes.
Few planetary encounters are more positive than the link between your own ruler Venus and the bountiful Jupiter. And with them positioned in the portion of your chart that accents your assets in every way from what you own to what you earn, if things aren’t already looking good they soon will be.
Every New Moon is about editing out elements of the past and a fresh start. Although the coming one isn’t until Saturday the fact it’s in Scorpio suggests you’ll already be reflecting on what and possibly who you’ll want less of in your life and perhaps what it’s time to say farewell to.
What began as minor misunderstandings only days ago have blown up into farreaching and, to be honest, pointless battles. That being the case diplomatically sidestep these issues at least for the time being. When the mood’s calmer and you’ve gathered the facts and thought things through you can discuss a potential solution.
Although every sign has benefited from the recent link between your ruler Saturn and Uranus, in your case events could have both surprised and delighted you. That’s because you’ve been working on some since these planets first linked last May. Thus both your persistence and your patience are paying pay off bigtime.
Planning ahead may be a virtue most of the time. But judging by the New Moon on the 18th and the accompanying changes if not surprising developments you’re urged to organise even the simplest of arrangements so they’re flexible. Enough that as those changes arise you can easily take advantage of them.
Sometimes disagreements are no more than that. However the clash between Mercury and your ruler Neptune could lead to informative if not constructive discussions about several already worrying matters. That being the case tackle them in a forthright manner, seeking and considering what you learn and the advice of others.
