Your Stars by Shelley Von Strunckel

Stars for Tuesday, 6 January

ARIES

March 20 - April 18

There's a fine line between the self-sufficiency on which you pride yourself and unwisely refusing others' offers of help. Not only are they better informed than you are, they've recent experience dealing with exactly the issues in question. Recognising your resistance to their suggestions as pure Aries ego helps put things into a clearer perspective.

TAURUS

April 19 - May 19

Opportunity is in the air, although the events that appear may not seem at all appealing. That's because with Jupiter only just having moved to accent elements of your work and lifestyle, changes in existing arrangements are likely to come first. Only after these shake-ups will you recognise these improvements for what they are.

GEMINI

May 20 - June 20

Once your ruler Mercury begins its retrograde cycle on Sunday, you'll be in a period that's as much about recognising and undoing previous problems as it is about the here and now. Knowing that, focus on certain increasingly pressing decisions fully, while you can concentrate on them without having to contend with distractions from the past.

CANCER

June 21 - July 21

With several of the heavy duty planets having changed signs in little over a month, you and everybody else around are bound to be facing considerable confusion. While it may take time for things to settle down, once they do you'll realise that certain seemingly insurmountable obstacles have vanished, and remarkably, of their own accord.

LEO

July 22 - Aug 21

For ages you've been complaining about dilemmas that aren't just a nuisance, you've been frustrated by the refusal of others to recognise the problems they're causing. Now that the individuals in question are also suffering from these problems, you'll be amazed how swiftly the situations they swore couldn't be altered are dramatically, and permanently, changed.

VIRGO

Aug 22 - Sep 21

When you said yes to certain requests, you assumed they weren't that complicated. Now that you're actually tackling them, however, you realise they involve far more than you anticipated. Obviously you could use the ideas and support of others. Yet, bizarrely, your pride is preventing you admitting that to anybody or asking for their help.

LIBRA

Sep 22 - Oct 22

You think a great deal about how to streamline your day, both to avoid wasting your effort on pointless pursuits and also so you'll have more time with those you care about most. Now that events are forcing your hand, however, you're not quite as enthusiastic, perhaps because you've been given no space for either discussion or debate.

SCORPIO

Oct 23 - Nov 21

It will probably take weeks for you to fully understand how you'll benefit from the bountiful Jupiter's recent move to accent your domestic set-up. At the moment, in fact, the changes it's ushering in may seem more of a nuisance than anything else. Be patient. You'll soon recognise those that appear most disruptive are actually remarkably worthwhile.

SAGITTARIUS

Nov 22
- 20 Dec

There's no avoiding the influence of the current emphasis on one of the most practical angles of your chart. While you're probably relieved that events are forcing you to deal with certain financial issues, other more complex situations seem nothing but an irritation. Do a little investigation, however, and you'll be grateful difficulties highlighted their importance.

CAPRICORN

Dec 21 - Jan 18

Now that the mighty Jupiter has moved to accent the practical and financial side of your life, the odds are good you'll discover solutions for even the most persistent of issues. This seems too easy. But actually, it's the result of all your efforts over the past month, combined with the influence of the magical Jupiter.

AQUARIUS

Jan 19 - Feb 17

When others question certain of your plans, as is inevitable at the moment, tell them what you can. Irritating as this is initially, you'll soon realise that they're only interested in knowing more about what you're doing. And importantly, as you discuss your intentions, you'll also spot potential problems that, otherwise, you simply wouldn't have noticed.

PISCES

Feb 18 - March 19

There are numerous situations in which you're able to refuse others' demands or say no without a moment's hesitation. But still, there are one or two where you get drawn into dramas that really aren't your responsibility without even realising it. Be vigilant now, as they arise, and you'll say no to those as well.

If it's your birthday tomorrow

It's not that you actually feel responsible for everything going on around you, as much as you worry that if you don't keep track of both events and the activities of others, something will go wrong. In fact, your biggest challenge can be letting go. Consequently, during this period of intense, frequent and sometimes revolutionary change, it's essential that you discern between what you can control and what you can't.
