Horoscope: October 21, 2015

Aries (March 20 — April 19)

Sometimes clashes are mere differences of opinion. However, the current series of aspects to the planet of truth, Pluto, suggests that seemingly minor issues are concealing very real and deep misunderstandings. Invest time in untangling these now and you could find you’re able to resolve even persistent tensions.

Taurus (April 20 — May 20)

Judging by the current emphasis on love and life’s pleasures in your solar chart, the focus is more on enjoyment than on strategic thinking. Still, certain matters require serious analysis. Do that now while there’s no urgency and you can consider all your options before you make well-thought-out decisions.

Gemini (May 21 — June 20)

Inevitably, the clash between your ruler Mercury and the uncompromising Pluto means you’ll need to review misunderstandings, past and present. Annoying as this is, what you learn while untangling this confusion won’t just be informative, it will more than justify the patience required for you to deal with these details.

Cancer (June 21 — July 22)

After a period that’s focused largely on the structure of your life, especially domestic matters, the Sun is shifting into a new position and with it, so will your attention. While this change won’t take place overnight, gradually there’ll be fewer demands on the home front and more time for life’s pleasures.

Leo (July 23 — August 22)

Few things are more challenging than facing important decisions yet being short of facts. Now, however, the issue’s that you distrust what you’re being told by others. While they’ve no intention of being deceptive, their information is unreliable. Talk this over. It won’t be easy, but it will be illuminating.

Virgo (August 23 — September 22)

It would be easy to regard the setbacks you’re experiencing as an indication of things going wrong. While some may be reasons for concern, most are the result of actual changes in circumstances. Unsettling as these are, they’re actually good news, as they’re offering you an opportunity to rethink existing plans.

Libra (September 23 — October 22)

Complicated as the situations you’re facing seem, you have Lady Luck on your side. It will appear in the form of either amazing progress in exciting plans or stunning ideas or offers, all triggered by this Sunday’s encounter between your ruler Venus and Jupiter, the planet of just plain good fortune.

Scorpio (October 23 — November 21)

Currently, there’s one particular phrase you’ll find useful in several settings and situations. It’s “agree to disagree”. With so much in transition, there are bound to be matters in which you don’t see eye to eye with others. For now, simply acknowledge that. Any discussions can take place later.

Sagittarius (November 22 — December 21)

By no means are you a perfectionist. Rather, you prefer to explore your options, then plunge into that which seems most promising and learn from there. While this is wise, since others are involved, ensure they’re aware that your approach is experimental and is by no means a final decision.

Capricorn (December 22 — January 19)

Somebody seems to think that because you’ve a knack for organising your own life, you’d be happy to give them a hand. And they’re not taking no for an answer. When they next raise the matter, be frank. Then sidestep discussion of any variety.

Aquarius (January 20 — February 17)

As an air sign, you love exploring new ideas. You’ll talk to others, delve into books, and go where the whim takes you. However, with things moving so swiftly, you’ll probably be gathering those facts after you’ve committed to something. While unsettling initially, once you begin, it will be far more fun.

Pisces (February 18 — March 19)

This is no time for diplomacy. While your ability to set others straight without them realising they’ve been confronted is a gift and a talent, certain pivotal circumstances require a far more direct approach. Worrying as this is, at least initially, ultimately the process of making decisions will be much easier.
