STAR GAZING

Aries March 20 April 18

As a quick-thinking and spontaneous fire sign, you’re less annoyed by even sudden changes in circumstances than others. In fact, the series of recent unexpected twists and turns were an intriguing, if not interesting challenge. Still, despite the current easy-going mood, you’ll still need to be attentive to certain pivotal, if tedious, details.

Taurus April 19 May 19

Ordinarily you’d be encouraged to brush off recent clashes with others as no more than minor issues. Think back, however, and you’ll realise that these touched on certain increasingly persistent conflicts and the following confrontations. Reflect on these, then ask others for their views. The resulting insights could lead to astonishing

Gemini May 20 June 19

In late May your ruler Mercury moved into the portion of your chart that’s all about life’s practicalities, beginning a cycle of review and, often, change. While you’ve made a few changes already, this is a lengthy period of both questioning and exploration, one in which you’ll be learning things every day.

Cancer June 20 July 21

If you’re into astrology, you’ll be aware the recent Full Moon was an eclipse and may even be expecting the powerful Cancer eclipsed New Moon on the 21st. and possibly even the third eclipse, in early July. And concerns? All of these are about breakthroughs, mostly unexpected but all timely.

Leo July 22 August 21

Judging by the challenging links between your ruler the Sun and several of the planetary heavyweights, last week and over the next few days, life is complicated. However, disruptive if not worrying as events may be, each is prompting you to discuss and deal with minor issues before they turn into major ones.

August 22 September 21

While last Friday’s eclipse triggered shake-ups for everybody, because it accented the structure of your life, changes are likely. These may have been in the air for ages or a surprise. Whatever the case, there’s far more energy behind them, so much they could be regarded as not just likely, but inevitable.

Libra September 22 October 21

Ordinarily you wouldn’t rest until you’re sure recent clashes weren’t just dealt with, but everybody feels happy with the situation. But as is becoming increasingly clear, with things moving so swiftly, what seems settled one day can change the next. This means taking an uncharacteristically easygoing, but timely, approach to these matters.

Scorpio October 22 November 20

Often you wish you could leave certain tedious decisions in the hands of others. However, you then reflect a bit and realise that, actually, nobody benefits from the combination of experience and insights that are, quite simply, there for you to weigh up, and employ when turning those ideas in lasting arrangements.

Sagittarius November 21 December 20

Usually, you’re not only easy-going about sudden changes, you feel they add a welcome excitement to life. However, the recent Sagittarius eclipsed Full Moon was so powerful and unsettling that even you are still wrestling with the twists and turns that arose and the resulting lack of clarity, if not serious doubts.

Capricorn December 21 January 19

For ages you’ve been trying to find a simple, but lasting, solution for several persistent matters. Now it’s come, but in a form as unexpected as it is worrying. What’s more, this means relinquishing control to those who you don’t entirely trust. Still, it’s better than doing nothing, and watching things get worse.

Aquarius January 20 February 18

The last thing you want is to intrude on dramas that really are others’ to deal with. The problem is, their emotional ups and down are intruding on your life. As a result, you’d like to see these resolved, sooner rather than later. Discuss the facts frankly. You’ll be amazed how many crucial facts they’ve ignored.

Pisces February 19 March 19

Often, unexpected events are an indication of plans going wrong. However, because the recent eclipsed Full Moon accented already tense situations, and triggered timely changes, while you’re being forced to juggle arrangements, you’re also feeling optimistic. You should. What’s taking place isn’t just worthwhile. These events could save the day.
