Aries March 20 April 19
By no means are you rigid in your thinking or narrow-minded. Yet recently you’ve brushed aside certain new ideas or offers and without discussion. The problem is they reminded you of past arrangements and you assumed they’d be the same. Not at all as you’ll discover if you do some exploration.
Taurus April 20 May 20
Being an earth sign you’re well aware how important it is that as circumstances shift plans be updated. Yet you’d assumed that what’s been organised would work out despite recent changes. Now suddenly it’s clear you’re wrong. Get others involved and discuss what needs to be done and the sooner the better.
Gemini May 21 June 20
You seldom think about it, but you’ve a rare ability to describe an idea or explain an offer with such enthusiasm it’s irresistible. Only after that do you discuss the facts from commitments in terms of time or money. Take this approach now and you could regret it. Details aren’t just important they’re vital.
Cancer June 21 July 21
Judging by the presence of the Sun and Mercury in the most reflective portion of your chart, since late May you’ve already spent considerable time reflecting on certain tricky matters. While you’ll have resolved some, others remain puzzling. The insights triggered by the current New Moon could do the trick.
Leo July 22 August 22
Rethinking already complicated plans would be a nightmare. But changes in the foundation on which they’re based leave you little alternative. The idea is to get others involved and in some cases shift the responsibility for these matters their way. While they may make a few changes they might well constitute improvements.
Virgo August 23 September 22
It’s out of character, but you neglected to discuss your role in certain arrangements and as a result what’s expected of others. This leaves you with the tricky task of making last minute demands. While this worries you most of the rest of the world does everything this way and won’t mind at all.
Libra September 23 October 22
Because you invest a great deal of thought, time and, often, heart in the plans you make, watching them come undone is upsetting. Worse, nobody else seems to care. The fact is, everybody is juggling changes, and most are urgent as they are unsettling. Understandably, they’ve no choice but to put these first.
Scorpio October 23 November 21
At the moment, you see no alternative but to take decisive action yet keep certain facts to yourself. However, inevitably this will lead to confusion. Worrying as this is, it’s better than doing nothing, which is your only other alternative. Within days things will shift, and things will blow over, without a question.
Sagittarius November 22 December 20
Obviously you’re relieved to have discovered and dealt with certain potentially tricky situations before they become real problems. But not everybody is as happy about this, mostly because to those individuals, this means reviewing plans in detail. Or you could say nothing to them, tackle issues yourself, then discuss those details later.
Capricorn December 21 January 19
As is often the case with the New Moon, a fresh take on one particularly aggravating situation could resolve problems, possibly overnight. Take advantage of this inventive mood and review other matters that seem just as stuck. With a little thought and inventiveness, these, too, could be reviewed, rethought and put to rest.
Aquarius January 20 February 17
The changes, most sudden and many substantial, triggered by recent powerful planetary activity involving your sign will inevitably lead to you rethinking several arrangements, some longstanding. Certain individuals will agree, some will actually join in. Others won’t. Explain your intentions once, but no more. You needn’t justify your decisions to anybody.
Pisces February 18 March 19
What seem mere discussions regarding new ideas are actually the beginning of an exciting new cycle, one that’s about growth, if not exciting breakthroughs. Tempting as it is to do the minimum, this is about what you can learn and who you meet. These ideas and encounters will enrich your life in many ways.
