STAR GAZING

World- renowned astrologer Shelley von Strunckel writes a daily column exclusively for tabloid! Aries ( March 20 – April 19) It may seem you’ve plenty of time to deal with certain tedious business or practical matters. Still, aim to tackle them now. On the 13th your ruler Mars departs this portion of your chart and moves to accent ways you could broaden your horizon and you won’t want any such matters holding you back. Taurus ( April 20 – May 20) Ordinarily proceeding with plans while you’re short of facts or without the support of others would be unwise. But the pace is unexpectedly rapid. The trick is to organise things in such as way you can easily rethink them. Once that’s done, as changes arise you can respond to them swiftly and easily. Gemini ( May 21 – June 20) Often you can get away with ignoring tedious practical matters, sometimes for ages. But with the planet of energy Mars accenting that part of your chart, what currently seems pressing probably is. In fact, with thingsmoving so swiftly, if you don’t take action now you could soon regret it. Cancer ( June 21 – July 21) Just when you thought both recent issues and those from the past were resolved, several facts surfaced. These were a complete surprise. Annoying and perhaps unsettling as these are, waste no time worrying about how you missed these. Life is full of twists, turns and surprises of exactly this nature. Leo ( July 22 – August 22) Although you sometimes deny it you have a stubborn streak. At the moment certain sudden and seemingly unwelcome changes could trigger it and thus prevent you fromexploring your options thoroughly. Avoid this by gathering all the information you can now while you’re still in an inquisitive mood. Virgo ( August 23 – September 22) There have been many times in your life when you had to live with indecision, usually because the actual situation in question was unsettled. Now, however, you’re struggling with one particular individual who seems unable to commit one way or the other. Be patient. Soon events will force their hand. Libra ( September 23 – October 22) For weeks you’vemeant to deal with several minor but tricky issues, but something has always come first. Now that your ruler Venus has moved into the most strategic portion of your chart the time has come to tackle these and any similar dilemmas. You’ll find you know exactly what to say. Scorpio ( October 23 – November 21) To you loyalty is essential. Without trust you’d always be on edge. Yet now it appears that somebody you’ve always regarded as reliable has betrayed you. Draw no conclusions just yet. With so much in transition thingsmay not be what they seem. When the moment is right discuss this frankly. Sagittarius ( November 22 – December 20) Don’t be surprised if the next few days’ events bring out your stubborn streak. While you’re usually easygoing about even sudden or unsettling events, certain matters could irritate you so much that you simply refuse to go along with them. Powerful as your convictions are, you might want to rethink them. Capricorn ( December 21 – January 19) Long ago you learned how risky leaving pivotal decisions to others can be. Yet at the moment you’ve no choice. While youmay question some options, what could be most important are those that you wouldn’t otherwise have considered. Although initially youmay be anxious, you’ll soon be thrilled. Aquarius ( January 20 – February 17) Although the inquisitive Mercury has justmoved to accent new ideas and places, you’re in no position to delve into these interests properly, at least for now. In fact with the Sun and Venus accenting practical, business and financial matters, these must take priority. Once they’ve settled you can start exploring. Pisces ( February 18 – March 19) Everybody is influenced by the Full Moon. However, because next Tuesday’s is in Pisces you’ll both experience the heightened feelings it triggers and need to deal with the changes it indicates. Unsettling as this sounds, your instincts will tell you what’s taking place is timely if not long overdue.
