Aries March 20 April 18

Being a fire sign you’ve no objection to last minute changes. On the contrary often these add a little spice to arrangements that, while worthwhile, have become far too predictable if not just plain boring. Still think carefully. You might be better off starting something new on the side.

Taurus April 19 May 19

You’re the last person to be critical about either what others do or their ideas of style or elegance. Yet it would seem you’re on the verge of turning a minor debate about such matters into a major clash. Tempting as it is to have the last word you’d regret it. Back off. Now.

Gemini May 20 June 20

Some would ignore an idea or offer because it seems unappealing. As a Gemini you’re well aware you can learn from what comes your way despite the ultimate outcome. However not everybody is as inquisitive which is the reason you may not want to discuss what you’re exploring with certain individuals.

Cancer June 21 July 21

As unwise if not just plain wrong as the decisions being made by one particular individual seem, they’re theirs to deal with. What’s more they haven’t asked your advice and the outcome will have little influence on you. Make suggestions if you feel you must, aware it’s really not your business.

Leo July 22 August 21

While it’s unlike you to leave crucial decisions or tasks in the hands of others that’s exactly what you’re doing and in a surprising range of situations. They won’t just take these off your hands. The individuals in question are both knowledgeable about the matters and eager to take full responsibility.

Virgo August 22 September 21

Although in many ways this is a tricky week, one during which you’ll have to be alert to unexpected and often disguised changes, there’s still a lot that’s exciting in the air. Since it won’t be clear which is which, at least initially explore everything. You can decide what’s worthwhile later.

Libra September 22 October 22

The process of making decisions can be a torturous one for you as a Libra. Time-consuming as weighing up your options can be, once you know what’s best you’ll be confident about that decision and stick to it. However with things moving so swiftly there’ll be little time for investigation.

Scorpio October 23 November 21

You rarely think about it. But there are certain matters about which your ideas are very fixed and equally you’re reluctant to even discuss changes. Yet judging by the coming days’ planetary activity you’ll have no choice. Bizarrely once you start exploring these you’ll realise how fascinating they are.

Sagittarius November 22 December 20

Of the 12 signs you’re probably best at dealing with sudden and perhaps unsettling changes. Yet what comes your way over the next few days could be overwhelming even for you. Tempting as it is to put off tackling these, do the reverse. The sooner you get involved the better.

Capricorn December 21 January 18

The time has come to review if not break away from certain once rewarding arrangements. Initially these didn’t just seem promising, you regarded them as a dream come true. The more you’ve learnt about them, however, you realise they were all about the surface and underneath they had little to offer.

Aquarius January 19 February 17

The mood triggered by every New Moon is one that combines editing out unworkable elements of the past with an exploration of intriguing possibilities. Bear in mind and especially remind others that the fact you’re focusing on certain of those options by no means suggests you’ll take them further.

Pisces February 18 March 19

There’ve been times in the past when others have complained you’ve changed your thinking, your priorities or plans too often. The irony is those who spoken out loudest followed the lead you took. Learn from this. Often a complaint is a compliment, but one that’s expressed in an unusual manner.
