Aries March 20 April 19

Sometimes minor disagreements are exactly that, issues that can be forgotten only minutes after they arose. At the moment however those seemingly minor arrangements could become the foundation for pivotal if not lasting, plans. Be as clear as possible, but also be aware you can make changes later.

Taurus April 20 May 20

Tempting as it is to debate if not actually dispute certain decisions being made by others on your behalf it will achieve nothing. It’s up to them and that’s that. However with the actual foundation on which these are based shifting and within weeks you’ll have plenty of opportunity to alter those arrangements.

Gemini May 21 June 20

During a period as rich in exciting if often unexpected developments even simple plans are unlikely to last for long. While this is no surprise to you not everybody understands that periods as exciting as this one will inevitably lead to unsettling events. And those who complain? Be sympathetic, but no more.

Cancer June 21 July 21

This hardly seems the ideal time to let go of plans as extensive as they are exciting and begin again. However the actual circumstances you’re dealing with have changed enough you actually do need to rethink everything. And those past efforts? Once you begin with the new plans they’ll prove amazingly valuable.

Leo July 22 August 22

Although the powerful Leo eclipsed Full Moon took place in late January you’re still dealing with several of the many twists and turns it triggered. That’s to be expected. True, some changes were straightforward. However others are as much about a shift in your perspective as in the circumstances in question.

Virgo August 23 September 22

Theoretically there’s no right or wrong way to disagree. However as a logical yet sensitive Virgo you’ve long been aware of the importance of taking the feelings of others into account whatever you’re saying and even more if the issue is tricky. While not everybody agrees, that doesn’t matter. Your own views are clear.

Libra September 23 October 22

The last thing you’re in a mood for is an argument about already tense issues. But they’re pressing and you fear there’s no escaping them. While these will indeed need to be dealt with things aren’t actually that urgent. Your time with others is about relaxing and enjoying their company, nothing more.

Scorpio October 23 November 21

On February 14 the powerful Mars moves into a new position and in your chart to accent close alliances. During its stay of about six weeks you’ll find you’re encouraged if not forced to be open about both your feelings and concerns. While challenging initially the results could be life-changing.

Sagittarius November 22 December 20

While you prefer making decisions on your own you’ll sometimes discuss various ideas with those whose views you value. Now somebody is horning in, assuming you’ll want their views too. The only problem is they’re assuming you’re seeking and will take their advice. Set them straight on this and right away.

Capricorn December 21 January 19

The line between being determined to achieve one particular objective and being obsessed is never clear. And at the moment you fear you’re close to the latter. Still, you keep saying to yourself just one more try. Instead consider taking a break. Back off. It may give you much-needed fresh perspective.

Aquarius January 20 February 17

For ages you’ve sidelined certain plans, desires or even passions mostly because you assumed pursuing them would complicate other important elements of your life. However powerful changes in the heavens suggest that your perspective on these isn’t just shifting, you’ll find a way to have everything you’ve been hoping for.

Pisces February 18 March 19

Usually you’ve an instinctive understanding of where the line is drawn between a playful battle and a genuine disagreement. But not everybody does which means one particularly uptight individual could react powerfully and irrationally to an offhand comment. If so waste no time calming them. Instead simply change the subject.
