STAR GAZING

Aries March 20 April 19 As a fire sign you’ve a substantial need to be adventurous. In fact if life is too dull or predictable you’ll seek out something to add a bit of spice to your existence. Judging by the current and coming weeks’ planetary activity there will be plenty of excitement, enough to keep you busy.

Taurus April 20 May 20

Don’t be surprised if your view of events and their promise as well as your concerns about them differ substantially from those of others. While every sign is influenced by the current powerful if unsettling planetary activity, each is experiencing those events from an entirely different perspective and so in their own way.

Gemini May 21 June 20

Last-minute changes in plans, even those it took ages to organise, rarely upset you. However while recent developments don’t bother you in the least one particular individual is turning those changes into a major drama. Let them. Nothing and nobody can stop what’s taking place despite their best efforts.

Cancer June 21 July 21

Life would be a lot easier if you could deal with tricky changes once and be done with it. But with the foundation on which these are based shifting even the simplest of plans will need to be rethought possibly more than once. Knowing that, you’ll do your best to ensure they’re flexible.

Leo July 22 August 22

Only days ago you were hoping you could get away with commitments that were based more on hope and good intentions than solid facts. While your optimism is merited others are both right and wise to demand something more in terms of money or other necessary support and to do it now.

Virgo August 23 September 22

Nobody is more cautious about ensuring your facts are right before confronting those who’re making unrealistic demands. Yet with so much in transition even you could get it wrong. That being the case get others involved in discussing the matters in question and seeking out the truth. The more who’re involved the merrier.

Libra September 23 October 22

In a few days’ time your ruler Venus meets the planetary tough guy, Saturn, an encounter that suggests the likelihood of a confrontation, with somebody or perhaps an organisation. Prepare yourself now. The clearer you are about the facts the less confusion you’ll face when those encounters take place.

Scorpio October 23 November 21

When certain pivotal arrangements were first organised you were either better informed or had a stronger position than others. The balance hasn’t just shifted, the move by Mars a few days ago and Uranus on March 6 indicates changes more far-reaching and ultimately beneficial to everybody than previously you’d imagined possible.

Sagittarius November 22 December 20

There are many ways to learn about something new. Being a fire sign you’d rather take action and let experience guide you than waste time on boring research. Still, in certain pivotal matters you’re urged to at least delve into the facts first. Plunging in could cost you in terms of time and money.

Capricorn December 21 January 19

Those who know you well and equally those who care about you often express their concerns that you’re focusing too much on duty and not enough on fun and being with loved ones. Balancing this isn’t easy. Still, their questions are wise. Give these thought now and over the coming weeks and months.

Aquarius January 20 February 17

Theoretically showing thanks is simple. However somebody has been so offhand in their gratitude that you wonder if they weren’t trying to be insulting. Waste no time mulling this over, ask them. Begin by mentioning the event in question then enquire how they felt about it. Their answer’s likely to surprise you.

Pisces February 18 March 19

In the past you’ve been drawn into discussing tricky situations or the difficult individuals others were struggling with. While you tried to be helpful they listened then did nothing. Yet you’re being drawn into similar discussions and with similar individuals. Saying no isn’t easy, but it would be a smart move.
