Your Stars

- with Patrick Arundell

Aries March 21 – April 20

Today’s Lunar Eclipse in your sector of relating emphasizes your feelings, especially those that have been pushed under the carpet. This intense focus can encourage you to talk things over and find a way to make peace. Has a relationsh­ip come to a natural end? If so, you may decide to finish it amicably. This could then pave the way for new developmen­ts and opportunit­ies, Aries.

Gemini May 22 – June 21

Your social life can be influenced by the Lunar Eclipse in Libra. You could become obsessed with someone, finding it hard to get them out of your mind. And if you have romantic feelings for another, it may be wise to hold back and not to act on them. Still, this might be a time of surprises, when someone emerges from the background Gemini, and becomes your new best friend.

Leo July 24 – August 23

If you’re discussing anything important, then the Lunar Eclipse in your sector of talk and thought suggests that those involved may be more emotional than usual. It could reach a point where logic goes out the window and conversati­ons descend into arguments. Even so, you might also spot an opportunit­y that was hiding in plain sight, in which case, snap it up if it appeals, Leo.

Libra September 24 – October 23

The Lunar Eclipse in your sign might mean you’re more emotional over the next day or so, which can influence your relationsh­ips. This could lead to spur-of-the-moment decisions, whether linked to an ongoing bond or a new romance. Your feelings may be very changeable and quite unreliable, so if you do have some key decisions to make, wait until you feel calmer and at peace.

Sagittariu­s November 23 – December 21

Going to an event? It could have a greater impact on you than you think. Today’s Lunar Eclipse might coincide with a meeting that turns your life upside down. Just make sure it’s for all the right reasons, Archer. Don’t make any commitment­s on the spur of the moment that you may regret later. Whatever occurs, take your time and think about the consequenc­es first.

Aquarius January 21 – February 19

You may decide that it’s time to redirect your goals and ambitions for the future. The Lunar Eclipse might inspire or compel you to take action, especially if an opportunit­y seems to be made for you. Things that have been hidden and that could be useful or life-changing may come to light. Something you discover might open a door onto a vista that delights you, Aquarius.

Taurus April 21 – May 21

You may feel as though a whirlwind has hit your affairs. The Full Moon Eclipse hints that certain activities aren’t helping and might even be hindering progress. A project or job can end at this time, or you could decide to look into new opportunit­ies that promise more. You may also realize how much a bad habit is harming you and be ready to do something about it, Taurus.

Cancer June 22 – July 23

Eclipses encourage change, and today’s can feel like a turbo-charged Full Moon as it brings domestic issues into the open. If you’ve been putting a matter off, it might be hard to ignore it any longer. A move or major renovation­s could be on the cards or changing the household dynamic in some other way. Don’t base key decisions on reactions. Clear thinking is essential.

Virgo August 24 – September 23

Full Moons are great for shedding unnecessar­y baggage, so make use of today’s Lunar Eclipse to let go of something that’s burdened you for a while. It may be an emotional issue that’s causing you to indulge or splurge as a way to feel better about yourself. Now is the time to do something so you can get to the bottom of it and eventually resolve it. Need help? Go get it!

Scorpio October 24 – November 22

You’ll realize why it’s so important to make time for yourself. It allows you to get your bearings and settle your mind. Answers to difficult issues show up and can bring about the shift you’ve been hoping for. Today’s Lunar Eclipse could also coincide with powerful dreams or a strong intuition to take a course of action. You may find this is reinforced by noticeable coincidenc­es.

Capricorn December 22 – January 20

Events could impact your career or your desire to get ahead. The Lunar Eclipse might coincide with an event that puts you in the spotlight. If so, make positive use of this to promote your skills and update and share your CV. Something may occur that puts you on a whole new track. Perhaps a conversati­on alerts you to ideas or options that seem to sizzle with promise.

Pisces February 20 – March 20

It’s all change, as the Lunar Eclipse in an intense zone inspires you to sort out issues that may have prevented you from being as happy and successful as you’d like to be. Eclipses encourage us to make radical moves that can bring bigger shifts into our lives. Don’t be surprised if you’re ready for more Pisces, as this lunar phase could green light an intense desire of yours.
