Aries March 20 April 19

Understandably you’ve put off dealing with certain tasks that are pressing but also tedious. While you can wait for a moment of inspiration the odds are good that what motivates you to get these dealt with will be practical necessity or the fear of making somebody very angry indeed.

Taurus April 20 May 20

There are many varieties of luxury and for you at the moment this is being able to take even a brief break from certain important but dull arrangements you can’t escape. You can however plan to give yourself a treat after these are dealt with. And ensure it’s luxurious enough to work for.

Gemini May 21 June 20

Now that your ruler Mercury has joined the Sun in accenting your domestic life, activities out in the world and the balance between the two you can finally make some decisions. True, with the foundation on which these are based shifting each should be considered but one stage of the final outcome.

Cancer June 21 July 21

As much as you’d like to clear up certain tricky issues this is by no means the ideal time to tackle any such matters. For now mention your concerns but say no more. That way when the mood is more sociable next week certain individuals will be aware what’s on your mind and will be ready to talk.

Leo July 22 August 22

Others debate whether instincts are no more than feelings so should be ignored. However you follow those feelings. True, because you rarely pause to analyse the source of your decisions you’re usually unaware of it. Still, if you look back you’ll realise those intuitive decisions were some of your best.

Virgo August 23 September 22

Exciting as certain ideas or offers are there’s no question that turning them into something lasting will be a challenge. While obviously you’d rather get these dealt with right away take your time. Many of the most worrying issues will soon be history and without you having to do a thing.

Libra September 23 October 22

Understandably you’ve avoided even mentioning certain tense issues especially as it seemed little could be done to remedy them. Recently that was the case. But now and over the coming days a combination of changing circumstances and sudden revelations could open the door to discussion and believe it or not a solution.

Scorpio October 23 November 21

After weeks of confusion and the occasional setback you’re both weary and wary. As a result you’re not exactly thrilled by the prospect of new ideas or sudden changes. While that’s understandable at least consider what’s coming your way. This is good now and within a short time, will get much better.

Sagittarius November 22 December 20

Facts may be exactly that, facts. However what you learn over the next day or so will turn what seemed unarguable situations upside down. That is, you’ll gain a new and helpful perspective on arrangements you’ve regarded as unchanging. This process could be demanding. If so the results will justify the effort involved.

Capricorn December 21 January 19

Few phrases cheer up a Capricorn who’s struggled to organise a plan more than the two words ‘final decision’. Appealing as the ideas of everything being settled may be you’re in the midst of an exciting but unsettled period which means what seems your best option will change and change again.

Aquarius January 20 February 17

The New Moon doesn’t actually take place until Sunday, but you’re already facing the variety of breakthrough decisions that are part of this portion of the lunar cycle. In this case it’s about letting go of elements of the past while you’re unsure of the direction in which the future will unfold.

Pisces February 18 March 19

True, being forgiving is a virtue. But that doesn’t suggest you ignore the bad behaviour of others. In some cases it’s vital that you point out the impact of their actions and explain the upset they cause. Bizarre as this seems the individuals in question may not realise the problems they’re causing.
