Aries March 20 April 18
Now that the Sun’s joined Mercury in Aries you’ll feel more on top of the world than you have for ages. Still, tempting as it is to turn the ideas you’ve been discussing into solid plans do a little serious exploration. What you learn will mean rethinking things, happily before you’ve done too much.
Taurus April 19 May 19
You may already be aware that the planet of energy and action Mars moved into Taurus on the 10th. This began a six-week cycle of review and, even more, restlessness. For now explore absolutely everything including what seems unrealistic. You’ll learn from all that you see, do and experience, often quite a lot.
Gemini May 20 June 20
Little is more frustrating for you as a quick thinking and fast moving Gemini than to be entirely lacking in worthwhile ideas. But that’s the case so you’ve nothing to talk about and, still less, do. You’ve been focusing on certain longstanding yet unproductive arrangements. Get rid of them. And now.
Cancer June 21 July 21
Not only is change in the air, certain elements of your daily life or activities out in the world need to be rethought. While you’ve come up with all sorts of ideas nothing has worked. Now at long last things will fall into place and without the struggles you’ve anticipated.
Leo July 22 August 21
While you had no choice in the matter, dealing with recent seriously tricky dilemmas gave you a real boost. So much you feel prepared to tackle other somewhat more complex issues. Not only is this wise, what you learnt from recent experience will come in handy and in a variety of ways.
Virgo August 22 September 21
At long last you’ve been able to deal with and put to rest several persistent issues. The process wasn’t easy and in truth tact proved more efficient than discussing practicalities. However a number remain. Because these are more contentious you’re urged to line up your facts and be prepared to stand your ground.
Libra September 22 October 22
It’s not that you’ve been avoiding certain topics as much as there’s never been a good time to raise and focus on them. However judging by the recent alliance between the communication planet itself, Mercury, and your ruler Venus things came together, issues were discussed and resolved and without much effort.
Scorpio October 23 November 21
Others seem determined to tackle and resolve certain contentious issues without allowing discussions to turn into disputes, but you regard it as unlikely. Actually talk things over right away and you’ll make substantial progress. Still, certain matters must wait, probably until events in a week’s time force them out in the open.
Sagittarius November 22 December 20
It seemed clear there’s plenty of time to deal with what needs doing and then focus on what and who you enjoy. But suddenly certain matters you regarded as unimportant have become pressing. While they are indeed urgent there’s time enough think carefully about what really must come first.
Capricorn December 21 January 18
From your perspective a recent battle was won unfairly. While that could seem to be the case ask a few questions. Once you’re talking things over you’re likely to discover the real problem was a misunderstanding. Had that been recognised and dealt with initially you could have avoided those dramas.
Aquarius January 19 February 17
When you made arrangements in early March you had certain concerns. While you agreed to plans various distractions prevented you addressing those questions. Judging by the swift pace indicated by the planetary activity between now and the end of the month you’d best raise these right away or not at all.
Pisces February 18 March 19
Since late February’s Pisces eclipsed New Moon you’ve been thinking about potential changes on your own and dealing with those triggered by this powerful cycle of transformation. Although it may seem things are calmer, the rapid pace of change continues. In fact the coming week promises yet more twists and turns.
