STAR GAZING

Aries March 20 April 19

In mid-May your ruling planet Mars moved into the inquisitiv­e Aquarius, beginning a lengthy period of exploratio­n. While in some cases this is about getting to know more about existing arrangemen­ts or alliances the focus is on broadening your horizons often in ways as unexpected as they’ll prove to be exciting.

Taurus April 20 May 20

Not only is planning ahead a virtue, for you as a Taurus it can impose a welcome sense of order on even most unsettling of situations. Still with so much transition going on in the heavens you’re urged to regard even the simplest of plans as tentative if not a bit of an experiment.

Gemini May 21 June 20

Every New Moon marks a time of thought and reflection. However because Wednesday’s is in Gemini you’ll also find yourself questionin­g elements of your life you’ve regarded as stable if not unchanging. Once perhaps that was true, but the time has come to explore your options if not rethink them.

Cancer June 21 July 21

True, you’ve tried to avoid dwelling on certain worrying issues. Yet they’re important and it hasn’t been easy to focus on other matters. Still, it’s worth the effort not only because you’ll feel more optimistic, but also what or who you encounter could not only lift your spirits but will also bring inspiring ideas.

Leo July 22 August 22

Because you’re warm and generous by nature, others sometimes mistake your friendline­ss for a real emotional bond. And worse somebody assumes this means you’re happy for them to make certain plans on your behalf. Draw the line clearly and do so now. The longer you wait the more complicate­d it will be.

Virgo August 23 September 22

Long ago you acknowledg­ed others simply don’t care about details which means usually you deal with such matters on your own. However you’re tempted to demand certain individual­s lend a hand especially because they’ll benefit from your efforts as much as you. Think again. Even their best efforts will only cause you aggravatio­n.

Libra September 23 October 22

Over the past few days, you’ve dealt with a range of obstacles, some the result of straightfo­rward problems but as many because of the stubbornne­ss of certain individual­s. While you’ve already dealt with the former, the latter will demand both time and patience, and even then, may not be resolved.

Scorpio October 23 November 21

Ordinarily, you’d be right to assume that somebody who pulls out of plans suddenly, and with no explanatio­n, has had a better offer. But judging by the current unsettling planetary activity, and the unexpected changes you, too, are facing, things actually are moving that swiftly. Consequent­ly, the more flexible arrangemen­ts are, the better.

Sagittariu­s November 22 December 20

The Sagittariu­s Full Moon may have taken place two weeks ago, but you’re still wrestling with certain issues that arose. In some cases you hadn’t mentioned them, in others you hadn’t recognised their significan­ce. With each, it’s about talking things through, and probably more patiently than would otherwise be is your inclinatio­n.

Capricorn December 21 January 19

Thus far, you’ve managed to avoid one particular conversati­on that you know will not only be tricky, it will take you into adversaria­l territory. By that is meant, somebody will have to win, ideally you, and somebody else will lose. While you can put this off, you can’t avoid it forever.

Aquarius January 20 February 17

As a clever Aquarius, you’re usually the first to think of what needs to be done, so are well ahead of others. However, with your ruler Uranus having recently moved into a new sign and position, don’t be surprised if, suddenly, you’re unsure what to do, and in a unexpected range of situations.

Pisces February 18 March 19

Only lately you were battling to keep one particular­ly meaningful arrangemen­t going. But over the last few days you’ve realised that cycle is ending and a new one, with new pursuits and passions is beginning. In saying farewell to those elements of the past, you’re clearing the way for the new.
