STAR GAZING
Aries March 20 April 19
While you’re undoubtedly familiar with Mercury’s retrograde cycle your ruling planet Mars is currently in reverse motion until August 27. And because it’s your ruler the issues that arise have to do with what and who you put first and especially elements of your life it’s time to question if not let go of.
Taurus April 20 May 20
Obviously you’d rather approach a potentially contentious issue delicately and ideally at the right time. But judging by the current planetary setup, and the swift pace at which things are moving you have no choice but to raise the matters in question, learn what everybody thinks then come up with a solution.
Gemini May 21 June 20
As much fun as gossiping about what others are up to can be it’s risky. And with your ruler Mercury retrograde, you could unwittingly cause yourself problems. For now stick to the facts. This may not be as much fun as catching up with the latest, but it will make life a lot simpler.
Cancer June 21 July 21
Theoretically the heightened energy and sudden changes triggered by last Friday’s eclipsed Full Moon will pass now that it’s over. However because this is the second of a series of three the last of which is on August 11 you’re urged to prepare yourself for yet more excitement and yet more changes.
Leo July 22 August 22
Knowing that at long last others are committed to working out ongoing issues is a relief. However with Mercury retrograde until mid-August and triggering confusion there are bound to be twists and turns. Ironically what you learn while untangling these will mean discussions take longer, but they’ll result in a lasting harmony.
Virgo August 23 September 22
Not only are you as a Virgo expert at problem-solving even when it comes to complex personal matters you enjoy giving others a hand when they need it. However with so much in transition be wary. What seems the best solution one day could change the next and the day after that as well.
Libra September 23 October 22
No sign is better at untangling misunderstanding than Libra. Even better you ensure everybody feels they’ve been dealt with fairly. Still with the retrograde Mercury triggering confusion even you could struggle to keep discussions civilised. Still, with a certain about of tact and encouraging others to talk things over it can be done.
Scorpio October 23 November 21
While you’d rather not go to battle over what you once regarded as minor issues you’ve been cornered into standing your ground. The real problem is a misunderstanding, one that began over as something simple and goes back a long way. Once you spot and undo that then the rest will be easy.
Sagittarius November 22 December 20
There are many ways to refuse an offer or idea. While often you’re forthright about such matters at the moment you’re encouraged to avoid saying a firm ‘no’ even to what you’re sure is of little interest. The more you explore the more intrigued you’ll become with these and what they have to offer.
Capricorn December 21 January 19
There’s no arguing this is a tricky and often perplexing, period. Yet equally the situations you’re facing are forcing you to venture into new territory in terms of places, people and even ideas. Unsettling as what you encounter seems, what you learn will add to your life and in all sorts of ways.
Aquarius January 20 February 17
If ever there was a time to stand up for yourself it’s now. While in the past you’ve avoided such confrontations this period is unique. What you do, say and especially demand for yourself and who and what matters in your life will have a pivotal influence now and for the years to come.
Pisces February 18 March 19
Be wary of those who’re complaining. Ordinary your instincts regarding those who’ll moan about anything versus those who’re actually struggling are very good. However the current intense planetary activity has heightened everybody’s feelings of vulnerability. If in doubt be forthright. Ask exactly what’s worrying them. The resulting discussion will benefit you and them.
