STAR GAZING

World- renowned astrologer Shelley von Strunckel writes a daily column exclusively for tabloid! Aries ( March 20 – April 18) The sudden and exciting opportunities triggered by the current aspects to bountiful Jupiter could appear in many forms. While some will be instantly recognisable as being worth pursuing, others may seem odd. The trick is to explore absolutely everything, since what seems unappealing now could soon prove to be ideal. Taurus ( April 19 – May 19) Appealing as the ideas or offers now currently coming your way may be, you’re acutely aware that in pursuing them you’d be creating chaos in certain existing arrangements. Tempting as it is to put these off until later, not only would you regret it, some of these opportunities are unlikely to appear again. Gemini ( May 20 – June 20) The concepts you’re currently discussing are intriguing but turning them into plans would require far more detailed organisation than you think necessary. Discuss this with those making these decisions. It’s unlikely you’ll change their thinking. They might well convince you that those tedious details will be worth the effort. Cancer ( June 21 – July 21) Tensions with family, loved ones or very close friends are always worrying, especially because you don’t want them hurt due to what you say or, alternatively, what remains unspoken. Yet they have the same obligation in their dealings with you, which hasn’t always been the case. Don’t be afraid to point this out. Leo ( July 22 – August 21) Since last month, duty has meant those closest have had to sacrifice their time with you. Equally, you’ve been forced to neglect certain of life’s pleasures. Now the tide’s turning, but by no means are things back to normal. Still, take advantage of whatever opportunities you have and enjoy them to the maximum. Virgo ( August 22 – September 21) This hardly seems the ideal time to pause and rethink plans. Things are moving swiftly and the pace seems unlikely to slow down. Actually, this is all the more reason to assess where you stand and where you’re going. Once you conduct a proper review, you’ll realise certain changes aren’t just wise, they’re urgent. Libra ( September 22 – October 22) Appealing as certain promises being made are, bear in mind you’re in the midst of a period of transition. This means the position of those behind those promises could change, but that your priorities could shift as well. Discuss any arrangements with this in mind and there’ll be no unpleasant surprises later. Scorpio ( October 23 – November 21) It’s not as if you haven’t discussed plans with others. You’ve talked things over at every stage. Yet now they’re making sudden changes. Unexpected as these are, they’ve told you about them. The problem is, your role in arrangements has been substantially changed and you’re upset. Admitting this isn’t easy, but it’s a fact. Sagittarius ( November 22 – December 20) Judging by the current swift pace, you’ll have no time to discuss the decisions you’re making, and still less to justify them to anybody. Yet there are certain individuals to whom you’ll need to explain your choices, and in detail. Knowing this, as you proceed, make mental notes of what you’ve done and why. Capricorn ( December 21 – January 18) Letting others deal with decisions that really are yours to make may be out of character. But you’ve only just realised they not only care just as much as you do, they’re actually better equipped to deal with the situation in question. Thus, by backing off, you’ll be doing everybody a favour, including yourself. Aquarius ( January 19 – February 17) Last minute changes in plans may cause chaos in your own life and annoy others. Yet you really can’t ignore the ideas or offers currently coming your way. Whatever the disruption they cause in the short term, the long range benefits wouldn’t just be extraordinary, they’d change your life, and in wonderful ways. Pisces ( February 18 – March 19) Joy of any variety is meant to be taken advantage of, even if the timing isn’t ideal, as now seems to be the case. Don’t even consider putting off these thrilling, if unsettling, developments. True, this will require a major reorganisation. Explain to others, then focus on enjoying these remarkable developments.
