HOROSCOPE

Oct 23 – Nov 21

ADMITTING to yourself or others that you need support isn’t easy. Still, the link between Venus and Mars is so powerful that even you will find it impossible to refuse the ideas, suggestions or offers currently coming your way. Besides, it’s a win-win situation, in that you and others will benefit equally.

Nov 22 – Dec 21

THERE are several arrangements that seemed a good idea earlier. But now, looking ahead, you’re recognising they’re the reverse and are becoming increasingly burdensome. Disentangling yourself from these won’t be easy. But the longer you wait, the more difficult it will be. The sooner you begin, the better.

Dec 22 – Jan 19

LIVING with tensions involving those closest at home or at work isn’t easy. But you simply couldn’t raise the issues in question. Early next week, these will come up naturally, probably prompted by certain welcome, if unexpected, events. Gather your facts now so you’ll be ready to talk things through then.

Jan 20 – Feb 17

WHILE, obviously, any major reorganisation needs to be thought through, the heavens are taking a different approach. In fact, between last week’s Full Moon and the New Moon on the 11th, both of which accent such changes, the odds are good things will fall into place, and with very little discussion.

Feb 18 – March 19

THE exciting ideas and offers currently coming your way are the result of your efforts, personally and with others. Yet, you still feel guilty about your good fortune and, worse, are trying to figure out ways certain individuals who’re struggling can benefit. Forget it. This bounty is about you, and you alone.

March 20 – April 19

BY no means are you stubborn. But once you’ve made a plan or commitment, you’ll stick to it, mostly because undoing those plans would take more time than finding a way around minor obstacles. However, the difficulties you’re facing are getting more serious by the day. Disentangle yourself now, while you can.

April 20 – May 20

DON’T be shy expressing your concerns about certain matters. As a Taurus and somebody ruled by the gracious Venus, you work hard to create a harmonious environment. Yet, now events are forcing you to raise potentially-unsettling issues. Others are aware of these, and will be relieved you took the initiative.

May 21 – June 20

LIFE would be so much easier if changes on the home front could be made swiftly and without time-consuming discussion. Yet, recently, that’s been impossible. Suddenly, events are clearing the way both to talk things over and, equally, come to decisions everybody can live with, and all within hours.

June 21 – July 22

RECENT unsettling developments have created chaos in several areas of your life. Obviously, you’d like to get things organised. Appealing as the idea of making a lasting plan may be, with changes continuing for some time, that’s unrealistic. Instead ensure that, for now, any arrangements you make are flexible.

July 23 – Aug 22

FOR ages, there’s been talk of changes in elements of your domestic or working life. While you reluctantly agree these are necessary, you’re also in no hurry. Judging by the influence of the Full Moon a week ago, which accented exactly such matters, these aren’t just happening, they’ll be happening soon.

Aug 23 – Sept 22

ALTHOUGH Venus and the forthright Mars have been in Virgo for over a month and you’ve dealt with numerous issues, one or two still remain. With both planets moving into new positions next week, you’re urged to tackle these now, while you’ve time to explore your options and consider each in depth.

Sept 23 – Oct 22

SINCE early October, the planetary focus has been on the most reflective and strategic portion of your chart. As a Libra, you’re more aware of the impact of your words and actions on others than most. Still, this called your attention to important but unspoken issues, and has been amazingly informative.
