Your Stars by Shelley Von Strunckel

Stars for Friday, 16 May

ARIES

20 March - 18 April

The last thing you’re in the mood to do is review already tense issues involving finances or other obligations. Put this off now, however, and by the time of the emotionally intense Full Moon early next week, when sudden changes in situations demand both hard facts and fast thinking, you’ll wish you’d done some investigation.

TAURUS

19 April - 19 May

Frustrating as dealing with sudden and unexpected changes in plans may be, those that arise now are actually in your best interests. The trick is to go along with everything, if only until you know more about what’s involved. Once you do, you’ll soon exchange those reservations for enthusiasm about what others are doing.

GEMINI

20 May - 19 June

When somebody asks for your help, you’ll usually say yes first and do what you can to give them a hand. But now you’re realising that one particular individual has more ambitious plans in mind for you. Unless you call a halt now, they’ll be successful in their attempts to shift their responsibilities in your direction.

CANCER

20 June - 21 July

Good as their intentions are, those who are questioning the value of the efforts of certain individuals are only complicating matters. The problem is, those who are asking the questions aren’t nearly as generous by nature as those who are doing the giving. Thus, from their perspective, such kindness will always seem worthy of suspicion.

LEO

22 July - 21 August

Sooner or later you’re going to have to confront one particularly difficult individual about their apparent total lack of concern about the impact of their actions on your own plans and position. They’re merrily doing what they like, whatever the cost to you, and will until you call a halt to their self-indulgent activities.

VIRGO

22 Aug - 21 Sept

Having been born under what is perhaps the most practical sign of the zodiac, you understand far better than others that nothing comes by magic. Rather, in the background some form of effort is always required. Still, it could seem that the brilliant offers currently coming your way have appeared from out of the blue.

LIBRA

22 Sept - 22 Oct

Ordinarily you’re exceptionally canny about spotting the manoeuvres of others. But by using flattery, somebody has managed to convince you that they really can’t take a step without your support. Obviously now that you’ve realised your need to back off, you’re in for a dose of the reverse, which are messages designed to undermine your confidence.

SCORPIO

23 Oct - 20 Nov

While you may have been born under one of the most emotional of the signs, that doesn’t mean that you’re comfortable allowing others to know about your feelings. Vulnerable as such revelations seem, it’s necessary if those closest are to understand what’s important to you and why you’ve been reacting to certain situations as you have been.

SAGITTARIUS

21 Nov
- 20 Dec

Now that you’ve accommodated yourself to the idea that certain plans you worked hard to organise simply can’t proceed as you’d envisioned, you feel strangely free. Not only that, this has given you a chance to explore new ideas that, had previous arrangements remained in place, you would have been completely unable to pursue.

CAPRICORN

21 Dec - 19 Jan

Knowing that you’re loved is one thing. But acknowledging that you care in a way that shows your vulnerability is quite another matter. This isn’t easy for the average Capricorn. Still, if you can do it, you’ll take the first step to experiencing a kind of affection that is rare for any sign of the zodiac.

AQUARIUS

20 Jan - 18 Feb

For weeks you’ve been hoping that talk about decisions that would reshape your domestic or working life was untrue. Until recently, that seemed to be the case. However, the Full Moon, which takes place in a few days’ time, not only accents exactly such changes, it turns others’ ideas into swift and unavoidable action.

PISCES

19 Feb - 19 March

Don’t make the mistake of thinking that just because you care about somebody, you must back them unquestioningly, or allow them to express opinions you judge as unwise. On the contrary, if anybody should be challenging them, it’s you. Be kind. But also be as forthright as is necessary to get your points across.

If it's your birthday on Saturday

Getting the message across to others means being bold in your words and actions. But you’ll have to review your own views first. True, what you learn could lead to a few serious changes in your attitude. Then, once you’re sure of your ground, you can confront them head on.

If it's your birthday on Sunday

With your ruler Venus superbly aspecting the bountiful Jupiter, events are bound to bring you joy. If there’s any challenge, it’s accepting the changes that accompany even the most glorious of opportunities. Say yes first and worry about the details later.

If it's your birthday on Monday

Certain relationships you regard as unchanging require serious thought. It’s vital that you let others know how much you care, and that you take time to appreciate what you have. This not only lifts your spirits, it brings a rosy glow to those around you as well.
