Aries March 20 April 19

Obviously tackling certain persistent problems is a relief. Still, with the actual foundation on which they’re based shifting even relatively simple solutions are unlikely to last long. While obviously this is annoying it means you’ve more time to delve into the actual issues in depth. That in turn enables you to resolve them for good.

Taurus April 20 May 20

However strong your feelings are about certain pivotal situations they’re not actually yours to deal with. So if your views are so strong you feel you really must confront others do so. Express your views once then back off. This may seem lacking in courage, but you’ll soon realise how wise it was.

Gemini May 21 June 20

You’re not narrow-minded. In fact most comment on your inquisitive nature and the fact you’re usually the first to know about interesting new ideas. Yet long ago you made decisions about certain activities, places or perhaps people and are unwilling to discuss it. Think again. Times have changed and so have these.

Cancer June 21 July 21

Recently you’ve been surprised if not shocked by critical and often negative attitudes of certain usually upbeat individuals. There’s more to this than you realise as you’ll discover when you talk things over. Be patient since certain facts will take time to emerge. Still, what you learn will more than justify the wait.

Leo July 22 August 22

As a Leo you’ve a powerful independent streak. Consequently you’re all the more annoyed by events that are forcing you to get involved in matters you’re simply not interested in. Yet now you’ve no choice. Give in. While this won’t be easy once you’re actually involved you be relieved you were so flexible.

Virgo August 23 September 22

When you first decided to sidestep certain potentially unsettling issues it was unlikely they’d come up anyway. Since then things have changed to such a degree these are now crucial. Don’t even explain why they weren’t previously mentioned. Instead focus on updating everybody and the more swiftly the better.

Libra September 23 October 22

Only days ago you were confident certain individuals were trustworthy. Yet recent discussions or events have made you wonder. The fact is things are changing and so are the situations you’re dealing with. Consequently questions of this nature are bound to come up. Talk them over and in detail. You’ll learn a lot.

Scorpio October 23 November 21

From your perspective even the simplest of plans must be done with care, caution and thoroughness. But as you learnt long ago not everybody agrees or even cares. That being the case you’ve no choice but to deal with certain of the arrangements currently being organised and from start to the last fact.

Sagittarius November 22 December 20

It’s not that you intended to be secretive or still less deceive anybody. Rather, based on past experience you assumed others wouldn’t be interested in certain matters so sidestepped even mentioning them. However times have changed and so have their interests. To such a degree it’s vital you talk these over frankly.

Capricorn December 21 January 19

This week both the communicative Mercury and Mars, planet of action and courage confront the uncompromising Pluto which is actually positioned in Capricorn. The resulting encounters or experiences won’t be easy. Still, most will be no surprise and better yet each will enable you to resolve vital and often longstanding issues.

Aquarius January 20 February 17

True, life’s easier if when making big decisions you say an uncompromising yes or clear-cut no. However with the actual circumstances you’re dealing with changing virtually every day and often dramatically you’re far better off regarding both what’s arranged and your own commitment as more of an experiment than single plan.

Pisces February 18 March 19

Loyalty takes on many forms. And at the moment one particular individual seems to think that means you taking their side when in fact you disagree with them. Worse, they expect you to take a stance you know is dishonest. Arguing with them will achieve nothing. However discussing your views frankly with them will.
