Aries March 20 April 19

Only days ago you assumed certain plans were settled and you could move on to other matters. But you’ve just discovered that numerous pivotal decisions have been neglected. Tempting as it is to hope things will work out eventually they won’t. These really can’t wait. Make tackling these your top priority.

Taurus April 20 May 20

Judging by the clash between your ruler Venus and the planet of both truth and power struggles, Pluto, several unspoken issues are about to emerge. Mostly this will be a relief. But in others you’ll worry about the reaction to sensitive matters. While your concerns are valid the sooner these are discussed the better.

Gemini May 21 June 20

Sometimes progress in one area of your life means giving up ground in another. That certainly seems to be the case now. It’s not that you’ve been battling change as much as it hasn’t occurred to you it might be necessary. Now not only is this becoming apparent certain decisions are increasingly urgent.

Cancer June 21 July 21

On occasion even the most even well tempered of Cancerians wakes up feeling grumpy which seems to be the case now. And you already know which matters are causing you concern if not irritation. Avoid discussing these. Within days they’ll vanish of their own accord and you’ll be relieved you said nothing.

Leo July 22 August 22

As time-consuming as talking over certain persistent issues would be, it’s the only way you’re likely to make any progress. The real problem is you haven’t discovered the actual source of these difficulties. Getting to the bottom of this will inevitably take a while. Once you have however the rest will be easy.

Virgo August 23 September 22

As a Virgo you not only have a talent for knowing when to adopt an easygoing attitude versus those moments when a stern approach is vital you’re superb at making others recognise what’s happening. Yet now even you are unsure what’s wise. That’s as it should be. Wait, watch and learn.

Libra September 23 October 22

Both the swift pace and nature of events during the last half of May led to making plans without thinking them through. Now in retrospect you’re wishing you had. While changes are likely you won’t need to initiate them. With the actual foundation on which plans are based shifting they’ll be no problem.

Scorpio October 23 November 21

Obviously losing ground in situations in which you’ve had to work hard to get anywhere is a disappointment. Or so it seems. Actually this is giving you a timely opportunity to explore new, recent or completely unexpected ideas or offers. Those that seem least likely could turn out best in the long run.

Sagittarius November 22 December 20

As much as you enjoy a lively exchange of ideas, especially when the topic is intriguing to you or the people involved interesting discussions as lengthy as they are tedious are another matter. The subject may be burdensome. But it’s also important enough you’d regret brushing it off without serious investigation.

Capricorn December 21 January 19

Long ago you learnt that there’s little point arguing with those who’ve no intention of listening to your thoughts and still less of changing their thinking. Yet now that’s your attitude. You’re refusing even to discuss certain new ideas, dismissing them as unrealistic. Once perhaps they were. But no longer.

Aquarius January 20 February 17

Don’t be surprised if your mood about certain once straightforward arrangements suddenly changes. This is in part because of several facts that come to light. But just as much you’re becoming impatient with the slow pace of events or possibly the lackadaisical attitude of those who you’ve regarded as reliable.

Pisces February 18 March 19

Although you try to be understanding, those who seem to regard it as their duty to correct others are tedious. And that’s especially the case lately. Yet there’s one particular situation in which you wish you could ask them to point out and deal with the havoc somebody is causing.
