STARS SHELLEY VON STRUNCKEL

Aries March 20 – April 18

Ordinarily you’d tackle whatever tasks or problems you’re facing one by one, in no particular order and as swiftly as possible. And, because of that approach, you’d get an amazing amount done. However, certain matters aren’t just tricky, you’ll soon realise how time-consuming they are. Still, they should come first.

Taurus April 19 – May 19

You’ve long known that, eventually, you’d have to deal with several complex issues involving those closest to you. However, the opportunity never arose which, in truth, was a relief. But now these aren’t just on your mind, events will force you to discuss these frankly, if not take action, and probably before the week’s close.

Gemini May 20 – June 20

Although your ruler Mercury’s retrograde cycle ended a week ago, you’re still wrestling with confusion, especially in your priorities. While it’s true this is unsettling, there’s no better time than now to tackle those questions. First, define them. That’s likely to clear things up enough that the rest is easy to deal with.

Cancer June 21 – July 21

If you’re eager to reorganise elements of your life, it’s no surprise. While the Full Moon took place in the middle of last week, it triggered questions about whether what once worked still does and, equally, the wisdom of turning certain ideas into changes. For now, focus on exploration. Decisions can wait.

Leo July 22 – August 21

For ages you’ve known you’d not only have to face but also deal with, very tricky matters involving family or your domestic life or both. The challenge? While you’re ready to plunge in, others aren’t. They’d rather focus on endless discussions. The solution? Decide for them, then put those plans into action.

Virgo August 22 – September 21

Planning ahead isn’t just wise, it’s providing an opportunity to discuss the state of certain arrangements that involve others. While at one point you kept in close touch about these, you’re now unsure what’s what. It’s not only essential you make up for lost time, this is the perfect moment to do it.

Libra September 22 – October 22

Every New Moon is about breakthroughs. That is, both discovering what should go but, equally, what to focus on next. Although the Libra New Moon was over two weeks ago, it took place during an unsettled period. As a result, you’re still thinking things through and deciding what and who should have priority.

Scorpio October 23 – November 21

The Sun may have just moved into your sign but by no means is this the time to make serious or far-reaching decisions. In fact, with the actual foundation on which certain pivotal arrangements are based shifting, some unexpectedly, you’re better off reviewing what works and what doesn’t. Major decisions? They can wait.

Sagittarius November 22 – December 20

Last week’s stunning link between the Sun and your ruler Jupiter both brought existing plans to a happy conclusion and ushered in exciting new options. The latter seem solid enough you’re wondering about leaving them for now. On the contrary, plunge in. Judging by the current swift pace, these really can’t wait.

Capricorn December 21 – January 18

Being a painstaking Capricorn, you’d never make a plan knowing things will go wrong. But as you’ve discovered, it’s the only way to proceed with arrangements as uncertain as they are urgent. What’s more, you’re not alone in being unsure what will happen. Discuss this with others. It will be amazingly informative.

Aquarius January 19 – February 17

Everybody sidesteps contentious issues or, if it’s unavoidable, tells a white lie from time to time. Judging by the current focus on the uncompromisingly truthful Pluto, you’re better off sticking to the facts or saying nothing at all. This isn’t forever. But at the moment, it’s a seriously wise strategy.

Pisces February 18 – March 19

The last thing you want is to disappoint others, especially those who’ve been relying on you. Instead of worrying, discuss the issue frankly with the individuals involved. The odds are good you’ve far over-estimated their expectations of you. It’s not about manoeuvres involving others. What really matters is your emotional support.
