STAR GAZING

-

Aries March 20 April 18

Your mood, and the state of various elements of your life, depend on whether you kept your cool or overreacte­d in response to the recent series of shake- ups, around you personally, and in your world. Urgent as they seemed, each is playing out well, and without the dramas you feared. Looking ahead, continue to play it cool.

Taurus April 19 May 19

You’re living out a week of twists and turns. While, in retrospect, some will have been welcome, others less so, when they first arise, you’ll be unclear what their impact will be. That being the case, explore each with enthusiasm. What seems least promising initially could turn out brilliantl­y in the long run.

Gemini May 20 June 19

Normally, your ruling planet Mercury moves through the signs swiftly. However, since late September it’s moved between the portion of your chart that accents life’s obligation­s and practicali­ties and, equally, life’s joys. That may seem a weird combo, until you realise it’s about learning a new approach to balancing the two.

Cancer June 20 July 21

If you’ve managed to keep certain potentiall­y unsettling concerns to yourself recently, it will soon be clear how wise that was. Although not all the details have come to light, you’re beginning to realise issues are so complex that nobody can say they’ve all the facts. For now, wait, watch and learn.

Leo July 22 August 21

As a fire sign, if you’ve battled for what you want or believe in, and don’t win, you don’t dwell on it. Recently, however, certain matters didn’t work out, but still bother you. Instead of brooding on them, ask certain creative individual­s for their ideas or guidance. It will make a huge difference.

Virgo August 22 September 21

Once you understand there’s no avoiding the twists and turns triggered by this week’s planetary activity, instead of trying to sidestep events, you’ll learn from them. While the point of some will be clear, others will seem nothing more than confusing. Persist. Each day, you’ll better understand what you’re dealing with.

Libra September 22 October 21

Judging by the past week’s planetary dramas, you’ll have struggled to keep up with events and the mood of others. Worse, it’s left many of your plans uncertain. Actually, with so much in flux, the more flexible your thinking and plans, the better. Ironically, what’s least expected could be best in the long run.

Scorpio October 22 November 20

Mercury is the planet of ideas and expression. In late September it moved into Scorpio, then went retrograde last week, on 14 October. While the resulting confusion will influence everybody, what you learn in the process of untangling errors could be so worthwhile that, as time passes, you’ll find you’re grateful they occurred.

Sagittariu­s November 21 December 20

The events triggered by recent clashes between the Sun and Mars, and your ruler Jupiter were unsettling. But they’ve also forced everybody to pause and give serious thought to certain issues. While things aren’t great, they’re also not nearly as bad as some say. Better yet, you now know what to tackle.

Capricorn December 21 January 19

Because you think so much through in advance, by the time the actual events in question occur, your mind’s on other matters. While usually that’s efficient, for now focus on the present. This ensures you’re aware of, and can react to, the numerous unexpected developmen­ts, around you and in your own life.

Aquarius January 20 February 18

Promising as recent idealistic discussion­s with others were, now that you’re turning the vision you’re describing into plans, you’re wondering if they understood your thinking at all. Actually, this is revealing that, with so much in transition, everybody’s vision of what’s best, now and in the future is changing, often rapidly.

Pisces February 19 March 19

The confusion triggered by the retrograde Mercury alone will have been unsettling, for you and others. While, often, the unexpected events it triggers can be disruptive, just as often they lead to breakthrou­ghs. For now, forget about trying to restore plans and instead, explore every option that comes your way, including what’s least expected.
