Aries March 20 April 18

You’ve often heard the phrase ‘agree to disagree’ used. While others seem happy with it, from your perspective as a forthright Aries it’s dishonest. Issues are meant to be discussed frankly and worked out. However in this particular case discussion and compromise are impossible while saying the minimum works for everybody.

Taurus April 19 May 19

Recently somebody was unkind to the degree you were embarrassed. So much so that you still haven’t said a word. While discussions of this nature are never easy the individual in question knows they’re in the wrong. Challenging as raising this will be, everybody will be relieved to discuss the situation.

Gemini May 20 June 20

Ordinarily you’re not stubborn even in situations where you’d have a right to stand your ground. This is mostly because you long ago realised that often sudden events can change everything possibly overnight. Not only is that likely now, what takes place will make you glad you played it cool.

Cancer June 21 July 21

Last-minute changes in plans are nothing new especially during a period that’s combined powerful planetary activity with two pivotal eclipses. While the impact of some of these events was clear soon after they took place others are still playing out and will continue to over the coming week or so.

Leo July 22 August 21

Tempting as it is to allow your enthusiasm for new and appealing ideas or offers to override the cautious side of your nature you’re right to be wary. This isn’t just about the actual situations in question, but as much about whether you or others are actually ready to commit to future plans.

Virgo August 22 September 21

The current unsettled mood may explain the tensions you and others are contending with. But with the second of the current pair of eclipses shaking things up the unpredictable mood is taking a toll as well. For now say nothing. What seems upsetting today could be of little significance tomorrow.

Libra September 22 October 22

As a Libra you’ll go a long way to avoid upsetting others. However when you observe somebody who’s not only thoughtless but who seems to ignore the effect of their actions on those around them you won’t just stand your ground, you can be fierce. It maybe you’ll have no choice.

Scorpio October 23 November 21

Few things are more upsetting to you as a Scorpio and somebody to whom truth is crucial than the discovery someone you trusted has been dishonest. Before you get too upset bear in mind that not everybody feels the same way you do. Raise this and others will be surprised it even bothers you.

Sagittarius November 22 December 20

Under ordinary circumstances you’d be wise to stand your ground with those who seem determined to make decisions that should be yours to make. But the fact is the individuals in question are more up-to-date on these matters than you are, so much that those decisions are in good hands.

Capricorn December 21 January 18

Usually you’re the first to question situations that seem too good to be true. But one particular individual has a talent for making these seem worth pursuing. Still your instincts say to be wary. Trust those feelings. Sleek as these arrangements seem on the surface, underneath it all there are serious flaws.

Aquarius January 19 February 17

While there’s a new Moon in your sign each year the fact this one is an eclipse marks it as a turning point both personally and in terms of the circumstances you’re dealing with. While some changes may be no surprise others could come as a shock. In the long run they’ll turn out best.

Pisces February 18 March 19

The last thing you want to do is be deceptive with others especially where there’s a bond of trust. Yet you don’t feel ready to discuss certain matters openly. That’s not being deceptive. It’s keeping things to yourself until you’re ready to discuss them. And when the time is right you will.
