STARS WEEK JANUARY 25» view story

ARIES
March 20 – April 18
Obviously you can’t ignore confusion, obstacles or others’ well-meaning but negative advice. But you mustn’t allow these to prevent you from at least exploring exciting offers. Discuss every idea in detail, in the process making make it abundantly clear what you’d like to achieve. While there are bound to be numerous changes before anything is settled, in retrospect these conversations will have been pivotal.
TAURUS
April 19 — May 19
Sudden changes in circumstance or seemingly insurmountable dilemmas may seem to bring cherished plans to an end. But if you combine requires patience and a creative approach, you can overcome them. Of even greater significance, seek advice from those who you respect. Not only will what you learn be helpful, the resulting connection with certain individuals could be of even greater significance.
GEMINI
May 20 — June 20
You’re always curious about the world around you. But now a restless inquisitiveness has already got you exploring new ideas, study or travel. These are interesting yet nothing so far has clicked. Don’t worry. With circumstances around you changing, it’s too early to plan, and beside, the search is proving illuminating. Not until mid-February will situations or your mind be clear enough to commit.
CANCER
June 21 — July 21
There’s already been talk of the need to make changes in business or financial situations. Now eclipses, this Monday and in early February, begin this cycle of transformation in earnest. While developments are unsettling initially, they force and partners – personal or professional – to get creative. This won’t just inspire you, it will also remind you what these individuals add to your life.
LEO
July 22 — August 21
The offers that accompany fabulous aspects to the generous Jupiter are hugely promising. Some are no more than that. However, gradually others evolve into plans that are both far-reaching and bursting with potential. Exciting as these are, you’ll want to keep things loose, because with so much in flux, they’re bound to go through several versions before everything is settled.
VIRGO
August 22 — September 21
Ordinarily you’d invest considerable thought in organising and perfecting ideas or plans.  Give these only the briefest of preparation. While this approach is contrary to your nature, it frees you to speak frankly and take chances on options that intrigue you but are short of guarantees. It’s more about who and what you encounter than doing things exactly right anyway.
LIBRA
September 22 — October 22
Obviously you would do all you can to avoid jarring exchanges or unexpected clashes are. Unsettling as these may be at the time, you soon realise that they’d cleared the air amazingly. So much you’re soon discussing far-reaching plans with a new enthusiasm. Explore these, keeping in mind that while Monday’s eclipse shakes up circumstances and feelings, here, too, these upheavals prove an unlikely tonic.
SCORPIO
October 23 — November 21
For ages you’ve been battling alterations in elements of your life. Now they’re here, as Monday’s solar eclipse begins a two-week long cycle of examination of, and potential change in elements of your way of living and working. While some are enforced, others seem a good if unexpected idea. At least explore each, since what you learn could prove remarkably inspiring.
SAGITTARIUS
November 22 — December 20
While you can understand why others are in a hurry to make commitments, they’ll just have to wait. First, things are too unsettled to make plans. But also, between changes and intriguing options that have just arisen, you need time to explore. Actually, some of what you encounter so alters your perspective that, while you must begin again, it’s worth it.
CAPRICORN
December 21 - January 18
Some regard the unsettled climate as reason to sit tight, refusing to consider even the most minor of changes. But this shouldn’t keep you from accepting amazing offers. With Mercury retrograde in your sign, they may not last, at least as initially conceived. But these get you going in a new direction, one that lead to worthwhile if somewhat jarring breakthroughs.
AQUARIUS
January 19 — February 17
You’ve been living life in the fast land, and are overwhelmingly busy. Still, because Monday’s Aquarius eclipsed New Moon is about a fresh start, you owe it to yourself to find time to examine your existing life, to consider what works and where changes are needed. They’ll soon begin. While not exactly as you’d anticipated, it will definitely be progress.
PISCES
February 18 — March 19
Dramas in the lives of others are somewhat unsettling, enough that they’re causing you genuine concern. Still, don’t allow them to overshadow the more exciting side of these events. Besides, dwelling in nebulous worries achieves nothing. Although this may not be on the agenda now, ultimately their wonderful events in others’ lives will benefit you, and in ways as delightful as they are unexpected.
