Aries March 20 April 18

It hadn’t occurred to you until recently that certain activities you’ve felt increasingly passionate about would interfere with the rest of your life. They’re now beginning to do exactly that which means you’ll soon have to make some decisions. Discuss these with others. They’ll be more helpful than you anticipated.

Taurus April 19 May 19

Recent discussions about previously tricky issues went so well you’ve been worried something would go wrong. While this is likely, the odds are good those issue will be minor and unlikely as it seems trigger helpful if not enlightening discussions about the matter in question. Certainly there’s no need for concern.

Gemini May 20 June 20

One of the characteristics you find most irritating in others is a refusal to consider new or different ideas. But to your horror you’ve only just realised that in one particular matter your attitude’s been is just as rigid. Having recognised that, you’re now asking lots of questions and learning something every day.

Cancer June 21 July 21

Those who speak with authority about matters they don’t really know or care about have always fascinated you. Yet judging by the current planetary setup it seems that in at least one situation that’s exactly what you’ll have to do. The trick is not to take it seriously. Others don’t and neither should you.

Leo July 22 August 21

For ages you’ve been very sure about both certain plans and equally which passions come first. Yet now you’re not only questioning your priorities, you can’t help but think about certain new pursuits. There’s no better time than now to be considering what and who is of the greatest importance to you.

Virgo August 22 September 21

Long ago you learnt there’s little point in arguing with those who’re short of facts or insistent about doing things their way. Instead you’d simply avoid them. Now that circumstances are forcing you to deal with them you’ll be surprised to discover that despite their ill-informed façade they’re actually very knowledgeable.

Libra September 22 October 22

Judging by the current tense planetary climate those around you won’t be in a mood to discuss complex issues. Yet you’re well aware certain matters need to be dealt with. They do, but they’re not nearly as urgent as you think. In fact even if you do nothing they could well resolve themselves.

Scorpio October 23 November 21

Although the New Moon which is about a shift in perspective took place last Sunday you’re only now beginning to recognise that certain unsettling events were encouraging you to view matters from this unaccustomed angle. Focus on it in greater depth and you’ll spot other equally intriguing new ideas.

Sagittarius November 22 December 20

It’s not that you’ve been secretive about your plans or intentions. Rather you’ve been unclear in your own mind so didn’t know enough to even begin discussing them with anybody else. Ironically talking things over will force you to clarify your own thinking and better yet you’ll benefit from others’ ideas and suggestions.

Capricorn December 21 January 18

Circumstances seem to be forcing you to give some serious thought to the way in which you employ your resources, that is your money, but also your time and even your ideas. All of these are of value yet in one or two situations you’re giving more than you’re getting in return.

Aquarius January 19 February 17

Being a clever air sign you long ago learnt that even the most contentious of situations can be defused by talking things over and in particular by encouraging others to voice their feelings and views. Never was that more the case than now. What’s more, others’ ideas could offer amazing insights.

Pisces February 18 March 19

There’s a distinct line between everyday chats with those at home or at work and the variety of discussions that are on the horizon. While you’ve long been aware these matters would need time, attention and tact you won’t necessarily be prepared for the depth and the detail these will require.
