Aries March 20 April 19
Only days ago you were dreading discussions that would inevitably involve issues where there have been ongoing misunderstandings. While you rarely put things off you’re tempted to sidestep these until the mood improves. The problem is it’s unlikely to get better without considerable effort. Which means the sooner you speak up the better.
Taurus April 20 May 20
Every once in a while others are in a bad mood and complain whatever you say or do. However that goes as swiftly as it arose. Now you’re wondering how to handle one particular individual who’s unhappy no matter what. The only solution is to back off and leave them to their own misery.
Gemini May 21 June 20
Many discuss the importance of being true to yourself. But now that you’re in a position that demands you do exactly that you’re beginning to realise how uncertain you are about certain matters. While reviewing these will take time what you learn in the process will prove invaluable now and often in the future.
Cancer June 21 July 21
The last thing you want is to disappoint anybody. Yet when you made certain plans things were different and you were under less pressure and had more time. Changes in the actual circumstances mean you need to reorganise arrangements yet you’re hesitant. Speak up the sooner the better. Others will understand.
Leo July 22 August 22
By the time of the New Moon on Monday the situations you’re dealing with will have changed as will your mood. Knowing that urgent as decisions seem, sidestep any formal arrangements and if possible ensure everything you plan is tentative. Taking that approach will make life a lot easier.
Virgo August 23 September 22
There are many varieties of temptation. There are those of indulgence or gluttony. But for you there’s also always the temptation to fine-tune arrangements that are already in good order. It’s just your need to tinker with them. While it comes naturally to you be aware that others could find it worrying.
Libra September 23 October 22
Only now are you beginning to realise that in your effort to ensure others felt included in discussions you neglected to mention certain concerns of your own. Now that it’s clear these need to be included in your thinking and future plans there’s no time to waste. Tackle these right away.
Scorpio October 23 November 21
Handing tasks that really are yours to deal with over to others is out of character. However judging by sudden changes in circumstances you can’t do both. What’s more certain individuals know the situation and can give a hand. The next step is to say ‘yes, thank you’ then focus on those pressing matters.
Sagittarius November 22 December 20
It wouldn’t be the first time you’d stood your ground against somebody you know is in the wrong despite being short of facts. In the past a combination of your own conviction and a gift for seeming more knowledgeable than you are worked and it probably will this time. Still there are no guarantees.
Capricorn December 21 January 19
For ages you’ve sensed one particular individual was bending the truth to suit their needs, but lacked facts enough to confront them. Now that you’ve more information you’re unsure what to do. First challenge the individual in question. Note not only their words but how they react. The latter will be more revealing.
Aquarius January 20 February 17
Last-minute changes in plans can be both unsettling and annoying. But not only do you have no choice about those you’re currently facing they’re actually very well-timed. That being the case resist the temptation to minimise them and at least explore what’s involved. You’ll be glad you did.
Pisces February 18 March 19
As a tactful Pisces you’re often able to deflect potential clashes by convincing others they’ve no interest in potentially troublesome situations. At the moment not only is that unlikely to work it could backfire. Instead be frank. Challenging as the resulting conversation may be, once it’s over there’ll be no more dramas.
