Aries March 20 April 19

As an Aries and a fire sign you’ve no problem with last-minute changes. But certain individuals complain about them so much you try to avoid these. Still, judging by what’s taking place you owe it to yourself and to a certain extent to them to at least pursue these ideas or options.

Taurus April 20 May 20

Between the Sun’s clash with the volatile Uranus and its link on Friday with your ruler Venus events are bound to be unpredictable. This is no time for problem-solving. Instead focus on these events, what they’ve meant to others and as much their impact on you. Decisions? They can and should wait.

Gemini May 21 June 20

While you don’t mind unexpected developments what’s coming your way could be such a surprise you won’t know what to think. You might even be tempted to put off doing anything until you know more. Resist that temptation and plunge on. What you learn will be as surprising as it is reassuring.

Cancer June 21 July 21

Naturally you’d want as it is to reassure those who’re struggling with certain tricky situations that all will be well. But it’s not that simple. Unsettling as what’s arisen may be those seemingly worrying events are ushering in timely changes. However their promise is unclear which is the reason you’ll need to be patient and encourage it in others.

Leo July 22 August 22

True, last minute changes in plans are disruptive. Despite that they’re actually in your best interest. The trick to dealing with these is to recognise that whatever you do, arrangements should be regarded as tentative. Ironically these prompt you to explore existing options or quite possibly new ideas that otherwise you’d have ignored.

Virgo August 23 September 22

Every once in a while you run into somebody who doesn’t realise the amount of time and thought you give to even simple arrangements which is the reason things you organise tend to go smoothly. Still, don’t argue with the individual in question. Encourage them to investigate what you’d planned. That should do the trick.

Libra September 23 October 22

It’s not that you were being secretive as much as you knew certain matters have been a source of concern to others in the past so were trying to avoid raising them. However one particular individual tends to be suspicious anyway and has drawn the wrong conclusion. Gently but firmly explain your intentions.

Scorpio October 23 November 21

Every sign is influenced by the Full Moon. But because the current one brings both feelings to a peak and accents already tense alliances personal and otherwise you’re tempted to avoid tricky issues. On the contrary, raise them. There’s no point waiting. This is the ideal time to discuss these matters and frankly.

Sagittarius November 22 December 20

Not only do you enjoy dealing with the unexpected, if life becomes too predictable you’ll seek out something to add a little excitement to each day. However at the moment not only is that unlikely to be necessary, the extent and pace of events might be overwhelming even for you.

Capricorn December 21 January 19

Occasionally you forget that not everybody cares as much about organising things properly and often gives it little thought. However that’s exactly what you’re dealing with. Waste no time reminding them about their responsibilities. Simply deal with those matters on their behalf. It will be easier for you and for them.

Aquarius January 20 February 17

Making decisions about changes in your own life, habits or career is one thing. But decisions that would involve others is another matter. The problem is you know they’re unlikely to be enthusiastic about these. Or alternatively you could simply proceed and discuss the details with others later. it might be easier.

Pisces February 18 March 19

Tempting as it is to tell somebody what you know they want to hear and therefore avoid disappointing them you’d soon regret it. The fact is sudden changes are shaking up elements of everybody’s life including the individuals in question. Explain the situation then discuss it with them. They’ll understand.
