STAR GAZING
Aries
March 20 April 18
Sometimes obstacles are no more than that. However, those you’re currently facing are prompting you to check out both the source of the actual dilemmas but, equally, your commitment to the arrangements in question. It may be that plans alone need rethinking or, possibly, your approach to dealing with them.
Taurus
April 19 May 19
Planning ahead isn’t just wise, knowing what’s next prevents minor anxieties blossoming into major concerns. However, with Uranus, planet of spontaneity and breakthroughs, positioned in Taurus, you’re urged to focus more on the unexpected than the sticking with what you know. With each passing day, you’ll recognise how wise this is.
Gemini
May 20 June 19
The Sun has just joined your ruler Mercury in accenting ways you can broaden your horizons. Recently, you’ve wanted to explore certain intriguing ideas or, perhaps, go new places but done nothing. It’s not just time to do that, what you learn in the process will be as unexpected as it is rewarding.
Cancer
June 20 July 21
If you’re still struggling with the unsettling situations triggered by the recent Cancer eclipsed Full Moon, a little over a week ago, it’s no surprise. While some of the issues were straightforward and could be dealt with right away, others are more challenging, and will take time to understand and deal with.
Leo
July 22 August 21
Ordinarily you’d tackle and deal with certain complex matters right away. However, you may not know enough to make plans, still less commitments, until the Leo Full Moon in about three weeks’ time. For now, organise things as best you can, ensuring that everybody understands that these arrangements are tentative.
Virgo
August 22 September 21
What initially seemed minor but, still, important issues have turned into a bit of a drama. The problem isn’t the actual situation but, rather, nobody can agree on certain crucial facts. Out of character as ignoring such matters is, for you, as a Virgo, your instincts are to do exactly that. And you’re right.
Libra
September 22 October 21
Your ruler Venus moved into one of the parts of your chart that accents the dull practicalities last week. While these have been on your mind, you’ve managed to put them off, at least until now. The fact is, avoiding these actually takes more effort than dealing with them, once and for all.
Scorpio
October 22 November 20
When January began, certain plans were already made and others were close to being settled. But now, only weeks later, you’ve had to review, if not let go of, many of those arrangements and, often, begin again. Unsettling as this is now, within days you’ll be relieved you’re able to rethink those plans.
Sagittarius
November 21 December 20
Sociable as you can be, situations in which decisions are made by committee aren’t just irritating, they can drive you crazy. Yet at the moment, you’ve no choice. One way of avoiding the endless debating of others is to state your preferences clearly, then back off and let them handle the rest.
Capricorn
December 21 January 19
Ordinarily, you prefer to tackle tricky matters as soon as you can. However, recent events have had to come first. Looking back on these and what you’ve learnt since they arose, you’re thankful. Those insights have so improved on your approach to these, and in ways that, previously, you wouldn’t have conceived of.
Aquarius
January 20 February 18
The week begins with the Sun’s move into Aquarius. Add the New Moon in your sign, on Friday, and this is one of the most pivotal weeks of the year’s first half. Some decisions will be crucial and a relief. Less confident about others? Experiment. Take a chance. At minimum, you’ll learn something.
Pisces
February 19 March 19
Long ago you learnt how unwise it is to get involved in a so-called discussion with certain individuals who, inevitably, end up asking for a big favour, and manipulate you into agreeing. It’s happened yet again. This time, however, you can go back and explain you’ve changed your mind and the answer is a big no.
