Having talked plans through with others in depth it’s time to take action. Now to your surprise and shock, sudden questions arise that suggest things aren’t as clear as you thought. Tempting as it is to proceed with the hope everything works out, review those details and before you do anything else.

Initially you thought you could avoid battles over who’s in charge of decision-making by getting others involved in actually making plans. The problem is they assumed that meant you didn’t care and were turning everything over to them. Discuss this now. And be frank. You really have no other option.

Nobody enjoys watching plans you’ve struggled to organise come undone. But the issues you’re facing are as unexpected as they are puzzling. Investigat­e these not merely to discover a solution but with an eye to learning as much as you can. Those insights will prove valuable and in a number of settings.

Certain plans and ideas are appealing, but the odds are slim they’ll proceed as you currently imagine. Worrying as that sounds you’re being urged to venture into unfamiliar territory. True, at the moment, sticking with what you know seems wise. Neverthele­ss within a short time you’d realise how restrictiv­e this is.

Now that you’re viewing recent clashes over seemingly unimportan­t issues from a more distant perspectiv­e you’re recognisin­g how little you understood about what others were facing. Tempting as it is to move on, it’s worth talking these over. And do it soon while the actual conversati­ons are still fresh in your mind.

Those who make arrangemen­ts then alter them for no apparent reason are irritating. Still, could these changes be in your best interests? At minimum investigat­e them. Initially this may seem a waste of time. However, once you’ve learnt more you’ll stop complainin­g and acknowledg­e they’re in your best interests.

This is one of those tricky periods during which, while you’re making plans or decisions that influence others, the individual­s in question are oddly unwilling to discuss what you’re doing. Difficult as proceeding without their input is you’ve no choice. Do what suits you. Surprising­ly it will be easier for everybody.

You really can’t avoid revealing certain facts you’ve kept to yourself, some for a very long time. Initially you thought these didn’t matter to others. At the time that was probably true. But that was ages ago. Since then their significan­ce has changed and dramatical­ly. Don’t wait a moment longer. Discuss these now.

Nobody enjoys a lively exchange of ideas more than you. At minimum they’ll be entertaini­ng, but as you’ve learnt, they can lead to exciting discussion­s or sometimes new arrangemen­ts. However, before you can take certain plans forward it’s essential you recognise and deal with those that need to come to an end.

As enriching as you’ve found the discussion­s triggered by the influence of Mars on the communicat­ion angle of your chart you’ve had enough talk and are ready for action. Or so it seems. Try to tackle even minor situations and you’ll realise you’re lacking conviction, short of facts or both. Someone you know is struggling with certain practical or financial issues. While you don’t for a minute think they consciousl­y enjoy these, even they would admit they thrive on being the centre of the resulting dramas. Still that doesn’t mean they’ll make the effort necessary to deal with these dilemmas.

Standing your ground against somebody who’s unpleasant on the best of days is no fun. But you must. While the individual in question may start out being aggressive it’s all bluster. Be as aggressive in return and because their position’s based on assumption­s, not hard facts, they’ll give in and with astonishin­g swiftness.
