Aries March 20 April 18
Bizarre as the idea of making plans you’ll only need to change seems, in several increasingly unsettled situations it’s really your only option. The trick is to organise things in a way that will allow you to rethink them possibly more than once. This means you can explore intriguing ideas as they arise.
Taurus April 19 May 19
Earlier this month on the 4th the Taurus Full Moon brought both unsettling concerns of your own and persistent issues with others to a head. While you discussed and dealt with most then, a few remain unresolved. Tempting as it is to hope they’ll work out they won’t. The sooner you tackle these the better.
Gemini May 20 June 20
If you’re unsure about even simple arrangements it’s no surprise. While you’ll need to make decisions about these you’re short of facts and probably will be until next week when your ruler Mercury’s encounter with practical Saturn will both reveal what you need to know and help clarify what you should do next.
Cancer June 21 July 21
While there are a few Cancerians who’re capable of being blunt, most avoid it for fear of causing upset or being misunderstood. Now however you’ve no choice but to speak frankly and where necessarily as directly as possible. Any less and there’ll be the kind of confusion that’s difficult to untangle.
Leo July 22 August 21
A month ago Jupiter moved to accent the structure of your life. It’s about expansion ranging from new activities to a new way of living or working. While changes of this nature may have been on your mind already, some of what arises could be so surprising that initially you won’t recognise its promise.
Virgo August 22 September 21
Although it’s not always visible you not only have a stubborn side, certain situations have really brought it out. Because of this you’ve a tendency to dismiss suggestions before actually considering them and just when you could use some new ideas. At least explore these. You’ll be glad you did.
Libra September 22 October 22
Don’t be surprised if you’re utterly convinced one particular individual is destined to be the perfect colleague, a close friend or even a lover, only to discover days later you don’t actually like them very much. And more than once. Bizarre as this seems you’ll learn a lot from these experiences.
Scorpio October 23 November 21
Weeks ago you decided to keep certain sensitive matters to yourself mostly because you personally hadn’t managed to get a grip on them. Now that you’ve defined these you’re ready to discuss them but are unsure what to say. You need only mention them. Others know more than you think they do.
Sagittarius November 22 December 20
Few things aggravate you more than those who get so caught up in details they can’t see the big picture. However the actual things that are worrying them are important enough they merit at least a little thought and once all the facts are clear, probably a fairly substantial rethink.
Capricorn December 21 January 18
With your ruler Saturn, Mercury and now the Sun all in the most reflective and strategic portion of your chart, urgent as taking action seems you really must think things through first. This could take days if not weeks. Still, what you learn won’t just be interesting, it could substantially alter your perspective.
Aquarius January 19 February 17
The time has come for you to break a few habits. While most of what you do routinely is in your best interests, in one or two cases things have changed but your approach to certain situations or even individuals hasn’t. You’ve sensed things weren’t right. Change them now before they go very wrong.
Pisces February 18 March 19
Obviously when you’re thinking about long term plans you’ll try to take possible changes into account. While ordinarily that would be wise, at the moment it’s not only important that you put you and your interests first, it’s essential that others recognise that you’ve no intention of making unnecessary changes.
