Aries March 20 April 18

There is no right way to have fun. However you’re contending with somebody who not only believes that’s true, they’re trying to show you what’s best. While their intentions are good obviously you’ll do things as you like. Tempting as it is to confront them, back off. Anything you say will result in a drama.

Taurus April 19 May 19

Being tender-hearted by nature you’ll do almost anything to show those you love how much you care. Thoughtful as this is discuss your ideas first. Much as you’d like to surprise them their interests have changed far more than you realise. This means what you do for them must too.

Gemini May 20 June 20

Being you, you rarely run out of ideas. Yet in one particular matter you’ve absolutely no idea what to do. Explore your options, but bear in mind it may not be until the New Moon on the 20th with its accompanying fresh perspective that you’ll be able to assemble all the puzzle pieces.

Cancer June 21 July 21

Although you try not to be critical of others, especially if their attitude or antics won’t really affect you, one particular individual has become seriously annoying. Bizarrely they not only know that, they actually enjoy being irritating. The only solution is to firmly put them and their provocative activities out of your mind.

Leo July 22 August 21

Others are saying to sidestep worrying issues. They fear discussions will turn into dramas. While you don’t mind a bit of theatrics you’re now wondering whether you should be concerned. The solution is to wait. Within a few days tempers will have calmed enough to discuss these matters in a civilised fashion.

Virgo August 22 September 21

When you first talked over certain tricky issues you sidestepped points you feared would turn discussions into an out and out battle. However these matters remain a source of concern. Create a special occasion to tackle these and these alone. While you’ll need to be seriously diplomatic the results will justify your efforts.

Libra September 22 October 22

Long ago you committed to an arrangement because of a mistake and were trying to make it up to the individual in question. You’re only now realising things weren’t nearly as bad as you were told. While this gives you every right to disentangle yourself you’re still hesitant. Think carefully about that.

Scorpio October 23 November 21

Only days ago you were battling ideas or even solid plans that excited others, but which you regard as risky. Since then however events have revealed just how sound and timely these arrangements are. Yet you’re still wary. It isn’t easy to admit, but it’s more about your ego than facts.

Sagittarius November 22 December 20

Being one of the three fire signs you’re always happier when you’re free to use your instincts to make decisions. However judging by the series of recent and future aspects that involve the painstaking Saturn you’ll have no choice but to investigate the facts and base plans on them and them alone.

Capricorn December 21 January 18

Certain individuals are in a difficult mood. This could take the form of complaining about nothing, being demanding or criticising you. Whatever the case, tempting as it is to address the issue in question you’re better off ignoring it. Try to be patient. The whole thing will pass as swiftly as it arose.

Aquarius January 19 February 17

Being an inquisitive air sign you not only enjoy spending time with those closest, when they’re struggling with issues you’re happy to listen if not lend a hand. Now however they’re wresting with the same sudden developments you are which means you’ll want to analyse, then work these through together.

Pisces February 18 March 19

The problem isn’t expressing your views about certain worrying issues. It’s that you’re being less than frank about both the actual situation and your concerns about what will happen if arrangements aren’t altered and substantially. Once you begin others won’t just agree they’ll be relieved you had the courage to speak up.
