STAR GAZING

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

Aries March 20 April 19

For ages you’ve managed to avoid dealing with certain tedious practical matters. However the move by your ruling planet Mars to accent these last week indicates either a shift in your focus or quiet possibly an abrupt change in the actual circumstances in question. These won’t vanish. The sooner you tackle them the better.

Taurus April 20 May 20

One of the most appealing qualities of your nature as a Taurus is your ability to turn even seriously tricky situations into something appealing if not actually promising. The next step which is about making actual improvements may seem challenging at the moment. But you’ll find a way to make them happen.

Gemini May 21 June 20

Last week your ruler Mercury moved into the most decisive portion of your chart triggering discussions about a range of unsettled matters. While you’ve already dealt with some, as many remain unresolved mostly because you’re still short of facts. Gathering that information isn’t just important it really must be your first priority.

Cancer June 21 July 21

Perhaps you simply forgot to mention certain tricky matters or alternatively were anxious so kept putting it off. Whatever the case, because the Full Moon accents exactly such issues these are bound to surface anyway. Knowing that, be bold. Detail your concerns and what you’d like done about them.

Leo July 22 August 22

As a fire sign when you decide changes are needed you’ll plunge in often without much planning. While that can mean you’re in for a lot of surprises it also means you’re free to explore every intriguing idea as it arises and consider its impact on your vision for the future.

Virgo August 23 September 22

Every sign is influenced by the current Full Moon. However the fact it’s actually in Virgo indicates that you’ve reached a turning point personally, emotionally and especially in terms of situations involving others. While some decisions will be clear-cut, as many will be more complex and require considerable time, thought and reflection.

Libra September 23 October 22

Just when you thought that recent discussions regarding issues involving a tricky combination of questionable honesty and finances were settled they’ve sprung up again. That’s because one particular individual is afraid somebody will discover their errors. That might happen. Meanwhile withdraw saying nothing. This really isn’t your problem to deal with.

Scorpio October 23 November 21

Nobody has a clearer mind or is stronger when facing obstacles or those who are blind to the promise of certain ideas or ventures. Yet recently even you have struggled with setbacks. The problem may be a misunderstanding. Get everybody involved in a thorough review of the facts. That could clear up problems overnight.

Sagittarius November 22 December 20

You may be a fire sign, but with the Sun joining Mercury and the intuitive Neptune in accenting the structure of your life it’s time to slow your pace and perhaps reflect on whether you’re happy with the direction things are going. If not, note your feelings then begin to explore your options.

Capricorn December 21 January 19

When you do things for others it will often be in the background or even anonymously. However judging by the current link between generous Venus and your ruler Saturn it will be others who’re doing the giving. Such situations aren’t always comfortable for you. Recognising others’ pleasures will make it easier.

Aquarius January 20 February 17

As an Aquarius and an air sign you’re far more logical that most. Because of that you’ll often spot problems and the remedy long before others are aware there’s anything wrong. This is the case now, possibly in several situations. Suggest the solution, but as a random idea. It might work.

Pisces February 18 March 19

For most people planning ahead involves gathering the necessary facts then deciding how best to organise arrangements so they’ll work out as intended. But for you as a Pisces you must also factor in what your intuition tells you which can be completely contrary to logic. But also you’ve found it’s nearly always right.
