Horoscopes

- With Shelley von Strunckel

Taurus

April 19 – May 19: Although the new moon is on the 11th, you may already have experience­d the fresh perspectiv­e it triggers. You’re urged to use this influence to explore everything.

Gemini

May 20 – June 20: For weeks, you have battled to clear your mind. Now that the planet of harmony, Venus, has moved into Gemini, this should become much easier.

Cancer

June 21 – July 21: Be careful. You could easily fall for somebody’s hard luck story, especially at the moment. The trick is to gather a lot of informatio­n and doublechec­k the facts.

Leo

July 22 – August 21: Recently, there’s no denying the fact that you have faced a series of tricky situations. You’re beginning to recognise that what seemed least welcome was actually a breakthrou­gh in disguise.

Virgo

August 22 – September 21: The issue you’re wrestling with is nothing new. You’re not solely responsibl­e for taking action, yet others have disappeare­d. That’s not just wrong, it’s unfair.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY

Good fortune comes in many forms but, at the moment, what’s most significan­t could also be most unexpected. While life’s bounty and joys are important, being able to spot the range of ways they’re appearing in your life is even more important. While often it’s merely a matter of noticing those joys, this is as much about those seemingly minor discoverie­s that lead to lifechangi­ng insights. The key? Explore absolutely everything.

Libra

September 22 – October 22: After weeks of juggling arrangemen­ts, you’re beginning a new cycle. You’ll also be able to tackle and often resolve certain complex and persistent issues. This can’t be rushed.

Scorpio

October 23 – November 21: Every new moon marks a fresh start. However, the time has come to discuss certain matters you have been hoping could be ignored.

Sagittariu­s

November 22 – December 20: Feeling restless? That’s no surprise. The recent clash between Venus and your ruler Jupiter highlighte­d certain matters that don’t just need attention, they require serious thought, if not big-time changes.

Capricorn

December 21 – January 18: You rarely think about it until others start complainin­g about their tasks or the pressure they’re facing. The fact is, you simply do whatever needs to be done and then move on to what’s next.

Aquarius

January 19 – February 18: For ages, you have been discussing potential changes in elements of your work or lifestyle. Now, events as sudden as they are surprising call your attention to options that you’d never considered. Explore these.

Pisces

February 18 – March 19: You have been encouraged by certain well-meaning individual­s to turn recent discussion­s into plans. While this makes sense, you’re hesitant. Wait and watch for the better options on the horizon.

Aries

March 20 – April 18: The last thing you’re in the mood for is slowing down. Yet with your ruler Mars accenting the structure of your life at home and out in the world until mid-June, your time’s better spent on exploratio­n. Decisions can wait.
