It’s not that you’re being anti-social as one particular individual insists is the case. It’s that you’ve had no interest in discussing the dramas that currently are the centre of their life. Since explaining this has been impossible you’ve quietly disappeare­d. Continue to keep a low profile. It’s the best strategy.

You have a strong sense of right and wrong and while you can be amazingly tolerant of the quirks of others thoughtles­s behaviour is quite another matter. Recently somebody seriously annoyed one particular individual. Tempting as it is to mention this the actual situation is far more complicate­d than you realise. Say nothing.

Usually once a decision is made that’s that. But the past few days’ events have made it clear the actual foundation on which your plans are based is shifting. Thus even the simplest of arrangemen­ts won’t last long. Knowing that, relax, live one day at a time and forget about time consuming details.

For ages you’ve been tiptoeing around potentiall­y explosive issues involving those who’re difficult to deal with at the best of times. Yet things have reached the point at which something needs to be said. Actually the individual in question knows there are problems and will be relieved to talk things through.

Tempting as it is to sidestep potentiall­y time-consuming explanatio­ns for already complex issues you’d soon regret it. Instead focus on keeping the lines of communicat­ion open. The better others understand what’s going on the more likely they are to be patient or better yet come up with helpful ideas.

Although you haven’t really thought about it it’s worth noting that there’s a difference between making a decision and that being regarded as final. At the moment even seemingly straightfo­rward arrangemen­ts are likely to change, possibly several times. Tempting as it is to be demanding the more easygoing your attitude the better.

You’ve probably already noticed that at the moment life is like a formal dance in which each individual is part of a pattern of movement. While most understand where they’re meant to be and what they’re supposed to be doing the odds are good that a few may need gentle but firm guidance.

Usually you regard sticking to a commitment as both practical in terms of planning, but also as a matter of honour. Having said you’ve do something, you regard that as commitment. While ordinarily that’s understand­able the changes triggered by this week’s eclipse demand a serious and far-reaching rethink in several arrangemen­ts.

The discovery that you’d made a mistake or misjudged the timing or cost of something is part of life or at least it is from your perspectiv­e. However you’ve been dealing with somebody who’s so painstakin­g they regard minor errors as almost a crime. The less you discuss the issues in question the better.

Because you’re organised you have a knack for taking on responsibi­lities that others would find overwhelmi­ng and simply making them fit into your schedule. But now the actual circumstan­ces you’re dealing with have changed which requires a major rethink. Don’t put this off. You’ll need to do it within the next few days.

Usually you’re the first to discuss even tricky issues with others mostly because you refuse to turn challengin­g situations into dramas, so inspire confidence. Yet at the moment even you are feeling a bit unsettled by certain events. Raise this and ask what others think. What you learn will help relieve those anxieties.

Someone seems to have decided that their problems aren’t they’re fault but rather can be blamed on others. And one of those individual­s is you. Don’t even acknowledg­e this. The individual in question is playing a blame game, one that somebody could fall for. Don’t let that person be you.
