STAR GAZING

World-renowned astrologer Shelley von Strunckel writes a daily column exclusively for tabloid!

Aries (March 20 — April 19) After all that talk about the powerful link between the fortunate Jupiter and Uranus, which is in Aries, it’s taken place. While it’s possible the earth shook, it’s more likely minor, but life-changing events have slipped past you. Not until you look back are you likely to recognise the significance they had. Taurus (April 20 — May 20) Is an offer worthwhile if it would throw your life into chaos? If you refuse, you’ll never find out. If you put off deciding, you might get involved later, but find it’ll be too late. Plunge in now, and you’ll be amazed how at swiftly you accommodate those changes you so dreaded. Gemini (May 21 — June 20) Although the Gemini New Moon took place early last week, you’re still reflecting on the fresh perspective on existing plans and ideas for the future it brought your way. While in many cases there’s no rush, in others you’ll need to commit soon or certain ideas or opportunities could simply vanish. Cancer (June 21 — July 22) Every sign was influenced by the confusion triggered by the retrograde Mercury combined with recent unsettling planetary activity. But because it accented the most strategic portion of your chart, often you were unable to address issues frankly. While frustrating then, now that some time has passed, these aren’t as worrying. Leo (July 23 — August 22) While events won’t be under your control or go as you expect, you’ve nothing to worry about. Rather, the developments triggered by the superb alliance between Jupiter, which is in Leo, and Uranus, are bringing beneficial and timely changes. Explore everything, since what’s least welcome could be best in the long run. Virgo (August 23 — September 22) In early May your ruler Mercury moved into the most decisive portion of your chart. Since then, however, it’s been in retrograde, which delayed progress. Now it’s moving forward and you’ve overcome other obstacles. That being the case, you’ll accomplish more now than you have in the past two months. Libra (September 23 — October 22) Being an air sign and somebody who prefers to get things organised before you undertake plans, you could find the current hasty mood unsettling. Because of this, often you’ll have no choice but to make even complex plans at the last minute. Bizarrely, they’ll work far better than you imagined possible. Scorpio (October 23 — November 21) As much as you welcome the idea of good fortune, when things fall into place too easily, you can be wary. You worry they’ll go wrong later. The events triggered by the current stunning planetary activity are just as good as they seem. However, you must move swiftly. Sagittarius (November 22 — December 21) Between the departure of stern Saturn from your sign last week and this week’s powerful positive link between your ruler Jupiter and inventive Uranus, you’re in the middle of powerful and positive changes. While tracking them is nearly impossible, there’s no question you’ll benefit from each and every one of them. Capricorn (December 22 — January 19) From your perspective, sudden changes aren’t negative, just worrying. Or at least that’s the case until you learn where they’re taking you. There’s little question about the current link up between Jupiter and Uranus, because it’s the third of three, all of which are about unsettling, but worthwhile breakthroughs. Aquarius (January 20 — February 17) Because you have been at the centre of the remarkable series of alliances between Jupiter and your ruler Uranus, last September and this March, the current aspect may not seem as potent. Yet, in retrospect, you’ll realise just how dramatically it improved your life. Pisces (February 18 — March 19) Rearranging elements of your daily routine, practical or financial life may not sound exciting. But judging by the superb planetary line-up, these changes won’t just be beneficial, they could eliminate problems you thought you’d just have to live with. How? To find out, you must take that first step.
