STAR GAZING
World-renowned astrologer Shelley von Strunckel writes a daily column exclusively for tabloid!
Aries (March 20 – April 19) Recent discussions weren’t just promising, they seemed to indicate that arrangements that have become an increasing burden will at long last change. That’s true. However, what replaces them will be more challenging, or it will seem so initially. The real issue is having to become accustomed to a new routine.
Taurus (April 20 – May 20) As a Taurus and an earth sign you’re as aware of the value of time as you are of money. Yet recently you’ve been seduced into wasting both on one seemingly promising situation. You had suspicions it wasn’t right, but ignored them. Now that you know the facts, disentangle yourself and fast.
Gemini (May 21 – June 20) Everybody makes excuses, both for things they should have done, and equally, to escape from unappealing commitments. The problem is, you’ve been caught and don’t know what to say. Your only choice is to apologise. And to learn from this and avoid committing to something you might want to change.
Cancer (June 21 – July 22) Difficult as admitting it may be, you’ve been putting off certain tasks for ages. You’ve been hoping certain individuals would deal with these for you, but clearly that’s not going to happen. There’s only one solution and that’s to tackle these yourself and to do it as soon as possible.
Leo (July 23 – August 22) On March 31 the planet of ego and energy, Mars, moved to accent the structure of your life. Since then you’ve been discussing potential changes but haven’t actually committed to plans. That’s fine. If others are in a hurry it’s for their convenience. You’ve until mid-May to make those decisions.
Virgo (August 23 – September 22) It’s rare that you plunge into an arrangement, personal or otherwise, without doing at least a little investigation. Yet with things moving so swiftly recent developments were a matter of ‘now or never’. While it’s true there’s some confusion to untangle, by and large things have worked out well.
Libra (September 23 – October 22) While obviously leaving complex financial or business decisions to partners or close associates is a relief, you’d like to be updated on their thinking. You can’t have it both ways. Get involved in their thought process and you’ll soon be taking part in those matters you were relieved you’d sidestepped.
Scorpio (October 23 – November 21) You’re by no means careless with money. Rather, most Scorpios are more conscious of what’s coming in, going out and obligations than those born under other signs. Still, the planetary setup suggests events will soon call your attention to one particular blind spot and encourage you to deal with it.
Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21) Are you feeling uptight about certain obligations, duties or responsibilities that, while often difficult, rarely irritate you? That’s no surprise. Not only are you in the run-up to the emotionally intense Full Moon early next week, it accents these matters, the feelings of aggravation they arouse and the individuals involved.
Capricorn (December 22 – January 19) Being open about issues in which your position is vulnerable is bad enough. But talking about your personal feelings is another matter. While you’ll talk these over with those closest, circumstances are forcing you to be more revealing. While challenging initially, the resulting discussions will be amazingly enlightening.
Aquarius (January 20 – February 17) If asked whether you’re secretive, you’d say not at all. Yet when recent issues touched on certain matters you were both incensed at the invasion of your privacy and upset. Reflect on this. Then either acknowledge you do indeed have secrets or reveal them fully to those concerned.
Pisces (February 18 – March 19) When the idea of making substantial changes in your way of living or working first arose, you dreaded it. Now after months of conjecture and weeks of discussing options, you’re ready to turn those ideas into action. You will in early May. But a few details still need to be dealt with.
