Aries March 20 April 19
Long ago you learnt that the best way to resolve differences with others is to be frank about your concerns and clear about what you want to see happen. But not everybody is as direct which means you may have to encourage others to speak as frankly. Still you’ll need to be patient.
Taurus April 20 May 20
This is one of those odd periods during which what seems unchanging circumstances won’t just shift, but could do so swiftly and to a far greater degree than you’d imagined possible. Knowing that organise whatever you can now, but aware that within days what you’re dealing with could change radically.
Gemini May 21 June 20
When you’re in a hurry or the facts you’re dealing with are complex and therefore time-consuming you’ll often sidestep them. While this makes sense most of the time at the moment it could cause you problems. What seem unimportant facts to you won’t just be significant to others, they’re crucial.
Cancer June 21 July 21
There’s a fine line between being discreet which is necessary and in several situations and actually being secretive. In some cases in fact others would benefit from hearing the full facts. True, telling them won’t be easy and initially they may not thank you. But ultimately they’ll be grateful.
Leo July 22 August 22
One particular individual has a talent for making seemingly sincere promises then backing out at the last minute and often without a word. Obviously this is annoying. Discuss this, asking gently but firmly what the problem is. The fact is they regard this as normal and are unaware how irritating it is.
Virgo August 23 September 22
No sign is more thorough when it comes to dealing with facts and more thorough when those facts seem unreliable. However with your ruler Mercury challenging several of the planetary heavyweights over the coming weeks sudden developments or the need to delve into the background of certain arrangements could lead to surprising revelations.
Libra September 23 October 22
Obviously you’d rather commit to and make exciting changes now. But as has become clear these need to be undertaken in stages. What’s more the next round will have to wait until later in the month. Annoying as this is now, once the promised breakthroughs take place you’ll be glad you were patient.
Scorpio October 23 November 21
Long ago you learnt that often being patient is more powerful than an impressive but hasty strategy. So you’ve no problem with allowing certain matters to unfold at their own pace. However certain individuals are in a hurry. Explain tactfully but firmly why these must unfold at a measured pace.
Sagittarius November 22 December 20
If you sense somebody is being dishonest about one particular situation or equally seems to be making up their plans as they proceed that’s probably true. While you can ask what’s up their reply won’t necessarily be honest. Your best bet is to be observant and learn from what you see.
Capricorn December 21 January 19
Usually challenging periods are exactly that, it seems everything goes wrong. And equally during fortunate times there’s good news from every angle. Currently however it’s a blend of the two and you won’t always be sure what’s worthwhile and what isn’t. That being the case explore absolutely everything with an open mind.
Aquarius January 20 February 17
Just when you think you’ve finally got through to one particular individual you’re in for a disappointment. The problem is they’ve no intention of altering certain habits however inconvenient they are to others. You’ve two choices. One is walk away, but the best one is to learn to tolerate with their antics.
Pisces February 18 March 19
You’re in a mood that can only be described as inspired. And judging by the superb link between the Sun and your ruler Neptune this could lead to amazing developments. Ideas will appear about everything from perplexing issues to the next step in your life. List these, then explore them one by one.
