Aries March 20 April 19

Understandably you take pride in being right especially when that view meant standing up to individuals who were arrogant or uncooperative. In this particular case you’d actually be helping others, because you’d force them to realise how rigid their thinking is and how in the past that has led to a range of missed opportunities.

Taurus April 20 May 20

After several weeks of unsettling events and discussions that verged on battles, suddenly things are falling into place. To such an extent that you’re unsure whether what once seemed so important still is. Actually it’s worth thinking about this. Times are changing and the odds are good that your priorities will as well.

Gemini May 21 June 20

Obviously the idea of finalising plans appeals. But not only is it unlikely it’s not in your best interests. Actually it’s unlikely you’ll be clear what’s wise until after the Gemini Full Moon and that’s on the 23rd. Knowing that, regard ideas and plans as an experiment, not as anything long-term.

Cancer June 21 July 21

For ages you’ve been trying to turn an idea, plan or passion into something lasting, but nothing has worked. Bizarrely the current dramatic shakeup in the heavens is likely to give your vision a boost. True, some changes may be necessary. Still within weeks the odds are good that you’ll have achieved wonders.

Leo July 22 August 22

The last thing you’re in the mood for is justifying your plans or ideas to somebody whose views you disagree with. Yet you’ve no choice. Irritating as this is what you learn from the questions they ask and the resulting exchange of ideas will be so informative you’ll be thrilled those discussions took place.

Virgo August 23 September 22

Ordinarily the exciting new ideas triggered by last Wednesday’s New Moon would have required a little juggling then fallen into place. But as is becoming increasingly clear with so much in transition even the simplest of arrangements are bound to go through several versions, some as surprising as they are worthwhile.

Libra September 23 October 22

This is one of those weeks during which ups and downs aren’t just dramatic, the outcome promises to be better than anything you’d have imagined possible. True, in some cases this will require patience and mean going along with others’ plans. Better yet you need only back off, wait and watch.

Scorpio October 23 November 21

While you may sense somebody isn’t being entirely honest that isn’t necessarily the case. However you may not learn why until about a week from now. On the 17th the communication planet Mercury goes retrograde. Bizarrely after that those mixed-up facts will come to light and end that confusion.

Sagittarius November 22 December 20

For most of your life you’ve ignored the advice of those who’ve cautioned you to take things slowly. When something has seemed promising you’ve plunged in and had few regrets. This is very much the case now. Sudden changes in existing arrangements or new ideas or offers all merit investigation.

Capricorn December 21 January 19

For ages you’ve managed to keep certain long-standing issues by the sidelines which has been a relief. However several elements of these are about to surface and really can’t be ignored. Talk them over frankly and openly. But stop there. Further discussions will require both serious thought and a lot of preparation.

Aquarius January 20 February 17

Ordinarily you’re not only the first to sense when big-time changes are on their way. You’ve a knack for helping others understand what’s involved so deal with them without excess drama. Yet even you are likely to be foxed by current developments mostly because they’re not mere changes, but genuine breakthroughs.

Pisces February 18 March 19

One particular individual may seem fragile. But that vulnerable façade is part of their act. Once they decide they want to do or achieve something nothing will stop them. And they have some element of your life on their mind. Review your priorities then prepared to stick to them.
