Aries March 20 April 19
Few things are more tedious than having to discuss the same issue frequently or being forced to explain what’s behind your vision to those who didn’t listen the first time around or don’t understand. Frustrating as this is, it’s an investment on your future, so worth being patient, even if it’s a struggle.
Taurus April 20 May 20
Ordinarily, if you’re unhappy with a plan, whether it’s your own or one devised by others, you’ll do something about it. But currently you’re facing a tricky combination of an already difficult situation and one particularly delicate ego. For now, back off. Tackling this now would only make things worse.
Gemini May 21 June 20
Being kind is always wise and, for those to whom such things matter, chic. Still, certain strange individuals remain convinced that adopting a tough manner makes them cool and, therefore, admirable. And they’ve no interest in discussing the matter. Eventually they’ll realise how wrong they were. Until then, say nothing.
Cancer June 21 July 21
You, and the rest of the world, have reached a turning point. While certain of your plans are unfolding as you hoped, others are coming undone. That’s because it’s time to rethink these, from the bottom to the top. That may seem overwhelming, but once you begin, you’ll realise how much you’re learning.
Leo July 22 August 22
For ages you’ve been tip-toing around decisions that would force others to make changes you know they’re unhappy about. The fact is, these are no surprise. The sooner you talk things over with the individual in question, the more swiftly you can move on from those upset feelings and focus on the future.
Virgo August 23 September 22
If ever there was a period when listening is important, if not crucial, it’s now. While what others have to say won’t always make sense and, often, will have little to do with you, the simple fact you made time to listen to them will mean a lot, if not change their lives.
Libra September 23 October 22
There are two reasons not to agonise over the decisions you’re making. First, as vital as you think they are, they’re not that important. Second, the actual circumstances are likely to change, and within days. The more flexible any arrangements you organise, and even more, your own perspective, the better.
Scorpio October 23 November 21
Others aren’t just enthusiastic about new ideas, they insist they’re the remedy for a range of previously impossible issues. Obviously you’ve doubts. Still, judging by the current planetary setup, these could actually be as good as others say. Certainly, in exploring them, you have nothing to lose and everything to gain.
Sagittarius November 22 December 20
Judging by the current tricky planetary set up, there’ll be a lack of solid facts, combined with unsettled situations until nearly the end of the month. Obviously, any decisions should be regarded as tentative. While you can live with this, others may try to force issues. Tell them how unwise that would be.
Capricorn December 21 January 19
Having invested a great deal of time and, in some cases, heart in certain matters you won’t let recent setbacks get to you. Yet it’s worth analysing them, if only to learn from what went wrong. This could be informative now and make a huge difference in the future.
Aquarius January 20 February 17
Usually, you’ve a talent for monitoring the moods of others, and spotting when they’re uptight versus a more relaxed mood. But now the tides of others’ feelings are shifting rapidly and unexpectedly, which means you’ll need to be on your toes. Note, these sudden changes in mood will influence you as well.
Pisces February 18 March 19
Analysing matters of a practical nature is one thing. But conducting the same variety of detached analysis of close emotional relationships seems strange, if not rather cold. Yet in one or two complex, and increasingly worrying, situations this detached approach is not only wise, it really is the only option you have.
