STAR GAZING

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

Aries March 20 April 19 As a quick-thinking fire sign, you have a talent for manoeuvrin­g around obstacles, even those others struggle with. Suddenly, however, you’re being faced with a wall of rules, regulation­s or, possibly, extremely watchful individual­s. Still, you’re tempted to continue with those manoeuvres. Don’t. The reason why will soon become clear. Taurus April 20 May 20

Being a practical earth sign, you long ago learnt how unwise it is to give advice, especially to those whose lives lurch from one drama to another. Yet, despite that, you’re tempted to give them a hand, just this once. Not only is it risky, within days you’ll be wondering why you even considered it. Gemini May 21 June 20

When you made plans involving those in your domestic or working life, things seemed straightfo­rward. While that was true at the time, since then the situation and the circumstan­ces in question have become seriously complicate­d. Discuss this now. Be frank as possible, and encourage others to be as well. Cancer June 21 July 21

For ages you’ve managed to sidestep a particular­ly tricky issue, something you’ve been thankful for. Yet now, suddenly, you need to discuss it, and frankly. First comes updating yourself on the facts, then learning what others are thinking. By then, if things have gone well, you’ll also have discovered a solution. Leo July 22 August 22

It’s rare that your sense of humour gets you in trouble. But that’s exactly what’s happened. The real problem is that you’re stubbornly refusing to admit that you’re to blame. While there are all sorts of reasons you can justify this, you’re urged to apologise, then move on. It’s by far the best option. Virgo August 23 September 22

As much as you dislike admitting it, you’ve made too many promises and committed to far more than you have the time or energy to deal with. Yet you’re stubbornly refusing to disentangl­e yourself from any of these commitment­s. The solution. Think what you’d advise others in this position to do. Simple. Libra September 23 October 22 Being an air sign, you sometimes get so caught up in what you’re doing, discussing and planning that you forget to eat. And, equally, few Libra enjoy exercise for its own sake. Yet according to the planetary setup, you’ll benefit from getting out and about, even if it’s no more than a stimulatin­g walk. Scorpio October 23 November 21

It’s not that certain recent experience­s or encounters weren’t intriguing. They were. It’s just that you know so little about their world and way of living , you’d feel uneasy getting involved. While this cautious approach may seem wise, it’s preventing you from broadening your horizons, and just when you’d benefit most. Sagittariu­s November 22 December 20

Usually, your ability to think and move swiftly is an asset. However, this means you’re struggling with the delays you’ll be facing between and nearly the end of September. Annoying as they are, they’re about clearing up obstacles. And the issues in question can’t be dealt with in a rush. Capricorn December 21 January 19

As circumstan­ces have changed over the past few months, you’ve been forced to review not only existing plans but, often, your perspectiv­e on life. What once seemed so important, no longer is, while you’re focusing on new ideas, pursuits and values. Strange as this seems, it’s exactly what you should be doing. Aquarius January 20 February 17

Watching others struggle with changes they don’t understand has only strengthen­ed your commitment to being open-minded. You’ve promised yourself you’ll explore whatever arises. However, recent events are so dramatic you’re wary. For now, focus on what you can learn. That’s more than enough. Once those insights are clear, decisions come next. Pisces February 18 March 19

The stars have a question for you today. That may be unusual. But now, prior to the Pisces Full Moon, which brings a range of matters to a head, it’s vital you ask yourself what’s working and where changes are needed. Ask the Moon for inspiratio­n. Then note what comes your way.
