STAR GAZING

Aries March 20 April 19

Exciting as the matters you’ve been dealing with and the people you’ve been meeting have been life’s been about discussion, not action. And understandably you’re getting impatient. Frustrating as this is, every step you take is essential if things are to work in the long term. You’ll soon be thankful you make those efforts.

Taurus April 20 May 20

This is one of those strange periods during which seemingly simple discussions can easily turn into disputes and those into very real disagreements. If these helped untangle issues that would be fine. But mostly they’re prompted by the current unsettled mood so will achieve little but cause upset.

Gemini May 21 June 20

After weeks during which your ruler Mercury was either retrograde or forming a series of tricky planetary aspects it’s moved into a different position, one that shifts the responsibility to several of those tricky issues in the direction of others. This isn’t just good timing it’s is a huge relief.

Cancer June 21 July 21

Long ago you learnt there’s no point in arguing with somebody who believes they’re always right. However one particular issue is beginning to be a problem for you enough something must be done. Instead of discussing this openly ask for their advice. This will boost their ego and they’ll be much more cooperative.

Leo July 22 August 22

If you’ve experienced setbacks when trying to turn exciting plans into action it’s no surprise. It’s been a tricky period and a surprising number of people around you have been unrelentingly negative. Don’t give up. Judging by the planetary set-up by next week both circumstances and the general mood will improve.

Virgo August 23 September 22

While obviously when you make a plan or do something you try your best to ensure things go according as you intend. However with so much intense planetary activity shaking things up twists and turns are inevitable. Unsettling as these events are in the short term many could work out well if not brilliantly.

Libra September 23 October 22

There’s a talk of making big-time changes in elements of your domestic setup. While you agree certain things would benefit from a rethink or some loving attention, you fear the disruption the process would cause. That’s true it would. However the benefits would far outweigh any temporary discomfort you’d experience.

Scorpio October 23 November 21

Hearing sudden changes are coming over the next seven days may worry you more than it thrills you. Yet as these appear you’ll realise that whatever amount of disruption you’ll be facing will be more than justified by the exciting ideas, activities or individuals that are about to become part of your life.

Sagittarius November 22 December 20

Tempting as it is to say an enthusiastic yes to appealing ideas or offers take things slowly. You’ve just begun a lengthy period of growth and opportunity. This suggests that the ideas and offers appearing will get better and more exciting as the weeks and months unfold.

Capricorn December 21 January 19

Chatting about life and the world around you is one thing. But with the communication planet Mercury in the most reflective part of your chart the focus has been on both more personal matters and your often powerful instincts. Discuss these with those you trust. What you learn will be astonishing.

Aquarius January 20 February 17

There’s no easy way around the misunderstandings you’re currently facing. The real problem is you weren’t aware of these until feelings had been hurt and mistakes made. Because you weren’t responsible for these you can’t really apologise. But you can comfort those who’re struggling at least for the time being.

Pisces February 18 March 19

The time has come to put your foot down. One particular individual has made promises, but not kept them too many times. Initially you feared that a confrontation might upset them. But at long last you’ve realised they’re so self-centred they don’t care about the inconvenience they cause anybody including you.
