Aries March 20 April 19

You’re on the verge of having one of those battles that could deteriorate into a contest of who lasts longest and is able to shout the loudest. The real problem is that with so much in transition there’s no simple solution for this and for several other similar matters. The less you say the better.

Taurus April 20 May 20

While you can stand up for yourself when you need to, being ruled by the gracious Venus you’d rather deal with issues with diplomacy. However one particular individual is so determined and equally so self-centred that they won’t even notice what’s being said. With them it’s be blunt or say nothing.

Gemini May 21 June 20

Long ago you learnt that if you have something to say there’s little point in waiting until you’re feeling upbeat or the mood of others improves. This is especially the case now. However with things moving so swiftly regard this as only the first of a series of informative but extended discussions.

Cancer June 21 July 21

Letting go of a plan or passion that means a lot to you and has for ages won’t be easy. But lately you’ve felt you were hanging on to this more out of pride or even habit than because of genuine conviction. That being the situation it’s time to say farewell.

Leo July 22 August 22

It’s not that you’ve been secretive as much as certain issues were so complex untangling them would take ages. But equally they didn’t matter at least until recently. Now that these are about to take centre stage you’ve good reason to delve into how and when these turned into serious problems.

Virgo August 23 September 22

Take time to pause, reflect on the present and consider the future. The Virgo New Moon constitutes your own personal new year. Pause and review what works and what doesn’t and even more make a list of what and who you’d like to become part of your life during the coming 12 months.

Libra September 23 October 22

Only days ago you’d have done all you could to avoid mentioning certain matters that not only upset others, but about which there’s little they can do. However with the actual circumstances changing swiftly suddenly the time has come to raise and discuss these. And frankly. The results could be miraculous.

Scorpio October 23 November 21

When you care about a situation or individual you’ll take a powerful stance, one that’s whole-hearted. Currently however there are several matters about which your feelings are unclear. While it may seem you’ve plenty of time for reflection the pace is about to pick up. That being the case gather your thoughts now.

Sagittarius November 22 December 20

Clear-cut as certain matters seem, it’s worth noting that you’re dealing with the influence of the New Moon which is all about a fresh perspective. This may be due to changes in circumstances or equally your own changing views. Whatever the case explore each and every option as it arises.

Capricorn December 21 January 19

While you don’t particularly enjoy confronting anybody, long ago you learnt that it’s better to raise it and frankly the moment an issue arises than say nothing, wondering when to speak up. This is especially the case now. Ironically the odds are good others will be relieved you mentioned the issue in question.

Aquarius January 20 February 17

Usually you’re inquisitive about everything and everybody. But there are several matters that you long ago decided are dull and you still feel that way. However now certain of these have taken centre stage which means first adopting a more open-minded attitude then updating your views if not giving them serious thought.

Pisces February 18 March 19

In one increasingly tricky situation you must be more direct. As a Pisces you assume others care about doing things properly the way you do. But their priorities are very different. In fact you must remind them to consider the needs of others as much as they do their own.
