Aries March 20 April 19
Not only does the Sun’s stunning link to your ruler Mars indicate your plans will work out as you hoped, thrilling and possibly unexpected offers could be coming your way. Knowing that, explore absolutely every idea or offer, since what’s least anticipated or even unappealing could turn out brilliantly in the long run.
Taurus April 20 May 20
Even suspecting that somebody you’ve trusted or, perhaps, care about has been dishonest is awful. But it may not be the case. With so much in transition, seemingly solid facts will change from one day to the next. The solution? Ask the individual in question to explain everything to you, step by step.
Gemini May 21 June 20
Judging by the current planetary setup, somebody is about to disappoint you and, worse, they’re unaware of it. Tempting as it is to hope the situation, and your irritation about it, will blow over, that’s unlikely. Risky as discussing this seems, what you learn will more than justify the effort required.
Cancer June 21 July 21
Certain individuals have a talent for pulling on the heartstrings of others. They’re warm and appealing yet vulnerable and, importantly, good at asking for assistance, support or even money. But be wary of them. While their need might be genuine, check out the facts, and in depth, before you make any commitments.
Leo July 22 August 22
As a Leo, you dislike it when timing or the pace of events prevent you from doing things in the thorough, polished manner you prefer. But at the moment, timing is tricky and, even worse, you’re short of facts. Still, do your best. It will be better than anybody else would have done.
Virgo August 23 September 22
Often when you wonder why an individual took a difficult route to accomplishing a particular goal, you’ll ask what their logic was. As a result, you’ve learnt a lot. Now, however, the mood is far too uptight for any such discussions. Focus on putting things right, now. Those discussions can wait.
Libra September 23 October 22
You’ll soon have to confront certain individuals about their lax attitude towards the facts. While, ordinarily, these minor inaccuracies wouldn’t matter, the actual facts in question will influence your own plans or personal arrangements. Explain this, clearly, directly and with no apologies. Then say what you need. That should do the trick.
Scorpio October 23 November 21
Only recently, you would have regarded the difficult situations you’ve been facing as something strictly private. Consequently, you’d never have discussed these with others. But as is becoming increasingly clear, the individuals in question already know a lot. This means you need only fill them in on the details.
Sagittarius November 22 December 20
It would appear you’re about to discover what could have been a mistake on the part of somebody you trusted or, worse, the realisation they deliberately deceived you. While at other times you might brush this off, instead, discuss this frankly. What you learn, about others and their situation, will be surprisingly informative.
Capricorn December 21 January 19
Being an earth sign, you long ago learnt the difference between facts and an opinion. And while you’ve strong views based on your opinions, you’d never try to pass them off a solid facts. However, others will, and do. Be wary of this and, when things don’t make sense, ask for proof. Opinions/facts
Aquarius January 20 February 17
Although the Full Moon took place a few days ago, it accented certain contentious issues. In fact, it brought them to a head. Now that others are voicing their feelings and you’re expressing your own, at long last you can talk things over, and frankly enough there’s hope they can finally be resolved.
Pisces February 18 March 19
Generally, you’re a good judge of character. But, every once in a while, somebody surprises you and is not at all what you thought. And at the moment, you’ve been disillusioned by one particular individual. Tempting as it is to justify their behaviour, the fact is, they’re selfish. There’s nothing more to say.
