STAR GAZING

Aries (March 20 — April 19) For ages you’d intended to rearrange elements of your life. With both the Sun and your ruler Mars accenting these matters, it’s time. True, certain individuals are telling you what’s best. Tempting as it is to argue, deep down you know they’re right. Taurus (April 20 — May 20) By no means are you suspicious by nature. Yet when ideas or offers seem too good to be true, you’re hesitant. While ordinarily that’s wise, this week’s stunning aspects to inventive Uranus and Jupiter, planet of good fortune, suggest you’ll experience thrilling developments of exactly that variety. At least explore them. Gemini (May 21 — June 20) Every Full Moon brings circumstances and feelings to a peak. However, because this one accents the practical and financial issues you’re already wrestling with, you could feel overwhelmed. The secret is to list those tasks, then seek the guidance of those individuals whose experience and wisdom you could use. Cancer (June 21 — July 22) Don’t be timid in your response to offers that are exciting if not overwhelming. Potent aspects involving both the inventive Uranus and fortunate Jupiter are introducing amazing developments. Better yet, they’re negotiable. If things don’t suit you as they are, discuss your concerns. Leo (July 23 — August 22) There are few more welcome planetary alliances than those that involve charming Venus and, in the case of this week, both inventive Uranus and the bountiful Jupiter. These indicate wonderful developments coming your way, some of which are already on your mind and others as exciting as they are unexpected. Virgo (August 23 — September 22) Welcome as offers of assistance can be at the moment, they’re a source of potential embarrassment. That’s because those who’re offering help aren’t nearly as well informed as they think, which means they shouldn’t be allowed to make unsupervised decisions. Your only option is to politely reject their offers. Libra (September 23 — October 22) Judging by the planetary set-up for the first half of July, while there’ll be progress, the issues you’re facing will take until mid-month to resolve. Knowing that, forget about planning everything in detail. Instead keep arrangements flexible enough that, should it be necessary, they can be easily reorganised. Scorpio (October 23 — November 21) Socialising with those you meet is one thing. Getting to know others and trust them is another. Yet circumstances are forcing you to be more open with certain individuals than is comfortable. Challenging as this is now, you’ll be amazed at how swiftly you feel at ease with them. Sagittarius (November 22 — December 21) Although every sign has benefited in some way from last week’s link between your ruler Jupiter and inventive Uranus, you stand to profit most. While this could involve improvements in existing arrangements, it’s just as likely that developments as surprising as they are thrilling could change everything, possibly overnight. Capricorn (December 22 — January 19) Ordinarily you’ve no problem dealing with changes, even those that arise suddenly as is now the case. Yet because you’re on edge about certain other matters you could be uncharacteristically short-tempered about even minor shifts in arrangements. If so, apologise, but still ask if those changes could wait. Aquarius (January 20 — February 17) On rare occasions planetary aspects are so positive and powerful that it’s safe to say you should expect something wonderful. These are the links between Venus, which signifies close alliances and money, and Uranus and Jupiter. While some will be no surprise, others could come from out of the blue. Pisces (February 18 — March 19) In the past you’ve sometimes taken what were actually no more than the complaints of others too seriously. Because this is a period of rapid and unsettling change yet again, complaints are likely and you could take them too much to heart. For now do nothing. It’s not uncaring, it’s wise.
