Aries (March 20 – April 19) For ages you’ve been diplomatically sidestepping issues that involve those you’re close to at home or at work. Because the current Full Moon brings these matters to an emotional head it’s time to tackle these. For now simply acknowledge them. Any serious discussions regarding solutions should wait until the mood’s calmer. Taurus (April 20 – May 20) You know one or two people who are dear to you yet are being seriously irritating. One of these individuals has been misbehaving badly, then saying they’re insulted when others object to their antics. For now say no more. They’re going through a tough period and will soon be considerably calmer. Gemini (May 21 – June 20) Sooner or later a showdown with somebody who’s simply refused even to discuss increasingly pressing changes is inevitable. While obviously you want this dealt with, be patient. The individual in question knows this is an issue. Say nothing. This forces them to raise it when they’re ready to talk. Cancer (June 21 – July 22) Some changes are both natural and obvious, so much they’re easily put in to place. Certain other arrangements are more complex. These merit patient and thorough exploration. While you’ll probably pursue these, just how may not be clear until after the 16th when the Cancer New Moon introduces valuable insights. Leo (July 23 – August 22) It isn’t always easy to discern between those situations over which you’ve some control and those in which you must leave events to unfold as they must. However, judging by the number of planets positioned in the most strategic portion of your chart, in most cases things aren’t up to you. Virgo (August 23 – September 22) While it’s possible to live with powerful but unspoken issues for a very long time, there are times when events force such matters to the surface. That’s the case now, which means you may be better off raising these issues in question soon while you can still decide when and how. Libra (September 23 – October 22) The last thing you want is for your decisions to upset anybody. But equally, what others think best in certain crucial arrangements simply isn’t acceptable to you. Explain exactly that firmly but politely. Once the strength of your convictions is clear to everybody they’ll be far more willing to discuss alternatives. Scorpio (October 23 – November 21) Judging by this extraordinary week’s planetary activity you’re in for a range of surprises. While some may be unsettling, those that are of the greatest importance involve unexpected offers or opportunities that seem too good to be true. However, these are that good. The only challenge is you must respond swiftly. Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21) Most Sagittarians have a strong independent streak. Which is not to say you don’t enjoy both working with and loving others. Rather, you’re just as happy setting off on new plans on your own. Now, however, the planets are sending you the perfect partner in work, in life or perhaps both. Capricorn (December 22 – January 19) Every Full Moon brings issues, practical and personal, to a peak. But because this one is in your sign you could feel uneasy about matters that haven’t otherwise been of concern. If they involve your emotions, delve into them deeper. It could be the time has come to discuss issues frankly. Aquarius (January 20 – February 17) As an air sign you not only need to think things through before you commit to plans, you really enjoy the process. Now, however, the pace of events is making it impossible to consider anything. Don’t worry. Your instincts are already telling you how good things are. Pisces (February 18 – March 19) If you’re feeling downhearted about certain otherwise flourishing arrangements, pause and consider whether anything has actually changed. It’s likely they’re still in good shape. However, with the Full Moon heightening your feelings of vulnerability the concerns you’re currently experiencing could vanish as swiftly as they appeared.
