YOUR STARS
ARIES (MARCH 20 - APRIL 18)
For the next few days so much is up in the air, that you can’t make fixed plans. Shifting circumstances and confusing information make it difficult to stay on track. Instead you have to be flexible and accept that you aren’t in the driver’s seat.
TAURUS (APRIL 19 - MAY 19)
Although you like things to stay the same, deep down you know that something has to change. Start by taking small steps that don’t feel too threatening. It is fine to be careful, but don’t use this as an excuse to sit back and do nothing.
GEMINI (MAY 20 - JUNE 20)
Acting on impulse will temporarily relieve frustration, but once the excitement passes, you’ll lose interest and have to untangle yourself. Save yourself the trouble by restraining impatience. Wait until you know for sure what you want.
CANCER (JUNE 21 - JULY 21)
As you won’t have the drive to push ahead with anything that feels too demanding, rather take things gently. Quiet time to yourself to reflect would be good, but be careful of collapsing into couch potato mode. It will make you more lethargic.
LEO (JULY 22 - AUGUST 21)
You are headed for a stimulating few days with plenty of input to get you thinking. However, a difference of opinion puts you on the defensive, but it doesn’t have to be like that. You can decide to open your mind and engage in a healthy debate.
VIRGO (AUGUST 22 - SEPTEMBER 21)
Missed appointments, let-downs and disappointments are par for the course at the moment. This is annoying as it throws your plans upside down, but there is no point in fretting about what is beyond your control. Let go and find pleasant ways to fill the gaps.
LIBRA (SEPTEMBER 22 - OCTOBER 22)
An emotional upset is a reminder to take care of yourself and listen to your feelings. Take the hint and stay away from people or situations that undermine you when you are at your most vulnerable. You’re better off on your own or in a caring environment.
SCORPIO (OCTOBER 23 - NOVEMBER 21)
Knowledge is power, so make sure you are well informed and don’t give in to wishful thinking. Consider carefully the long-term implications of investments and matters related to tax. As your perspective is not very objective right now, don’t rush into anything.
SAGITTARIUS (NOVEMBER 22 - DECEMBER 22)
Communication issues are highlighted in both personal and working relationships. Be patient and don’t make assumptions. You’re likely to draw the wrong conclusion which will lead to a misunderstanding. This can be avoided by taking the trouble to spell things out.
CAPRICORN (DECEMBER 23 - JANUARY 19)
Your tolerance and flexibility are being tested on the work front. When things go wrong, rather than looking for whom to blame, apply your mind to finding solutions. Sometimes, you may simply have to accept that there is nothing you can do and move on.
AQUARIUS (JANUARY 20 - FEBRUARY 18)
Reason and logic have their limits. Currently, you are being asked to pay more attention to intuition and the role of the imagination. Initially you may feel at sea, but let go and the journey could well turn out to be interesting.
PISCES (FEBRUARY 19 - MARCH 19)
Underlying restless is raising questions about where you want to live. It’s a passing phase, but if there is good reason to move, consider the options. Otherwise, make plans for a brief get-away or start an interesting project that will keep you busy around the home.
