STAR GAZING

Aries March 20 April 18

There’s no denying that what and, often, who you’ve been dealing with over the past weeks has been dull. Yet there was no avoiding the matters in question. In fact, what you’ve learnt in the process has answered a range of persistent questions. Tackle these now and within days they, too, will be history.

Taurus April 19 May 19

Although the Taurus Full Moon took place nearly a week ago, it was an eclipse and triggered a range of changes, in both circumstances and, equally, your own priorities. While you’ve dealt with most, you’re still unsure about others. Urgent as they seem, take it slowly. The longer you reflect, the better.

Gemini May 20 June 19

The current planetary setup indicates you’re being cornered into making changes you’re not happy about. In fact, you fear they’ll distract you from certain exciting plans. That’s possible. However, what you learn from them will equip you to make wiser decisions in the long run. Yes, that means taking it slowly. You’ll be glad you did.

Cancer June 20 July 21

When those around you are facing tricky changes, you’ll do your best to boost their spirits. But now that it’s you who’s wresting with similarly tricky situations, others aren’t being nearly as helpful. Don’t be shy. Tell them how you’re feeling and, if there’s something in particular they can do, say so.

Leo July 22 August 21

Judging by the past week’s tricky planetary activity, especially involving your ruler, the Sun, you’ve faced one challenge after another. However, now that you’re able to reflect on them, it’s clear just how much you’ve learnt. Better yet, the resulting insights justify changes you’ve only recently rejected. That’s real and timely progress.

Virgo August 22 September 21

Because you give considerable thought to both practical arrangements and future plans, major changes are rarely needed. As a result, you’re worried that those you’re currently facing are the result of unwise decisions. On the contrary, nobody, including you, could have anticipated the unexpected and, equally, unsettling changes you’ve been dealing with.

Libra September 22 October 21

After days of tricky situations and uptight discussions, the mood seems to have improved. So much, you may wonder if others are actually in such an easygoing mood. Judging by the current far more upbeat planetary setup, things are just as good as they seem. Anxious? Take it slowly but, actually, there’s no need.

Scorpio October 22 November 20

Although the Scorpio New Moon took place nearly three weeks ago, it was a rare and powerful eclipse. While you’ll have spotted some of the pivotal changes it was triggering then, others are still unfolding. If you’re unsure or anxious about them, for now, wait and watch. Within days you’ll recognise their power.

Sagittarius November 21 December 20

Of the twelve signs, you’re best at dealing with sudden and even unwelcome changes. Yet, despite causing a certain amount of chaos, the events you’re currently facing are introducing timely breakthroughs. True, some developments are so sudden you’re unsure what to do. Still, they’re worth exploring.

Capricorn December 21 January 19

As a down-to-earth Capricorn, you rarely make changes or commit to plans without having solid facts. However, the developments you’re dealing with now are as unexpected as they are sudden, which means you’ve had no time to prepare. True, it’s out of character. Still, take the plunge. Each day will bring helpful insights.

Aquarius January 20 February 18

There’s been a lot of talk and a few serious discussions about what’s next. Now it’s time to take action. True, you’re short of facts. But with the foundation on which these are based shifting, the secret is to regard whatever you do or plan as more of an experiment than anything lasting.

Pisces February 19 March 19

The past week or so seems to have been about making, then undoing, then remaking plans. While each of those changes was unavoidable, you’re hoping things will go more smoothly. Judging by the Sun’s amazing link to your ruler, Neptune, the odds are good they’ll go far better than you dared hope for.
