Aries March 20 April 19
There have been all sorts of excuses for the increasing distance between you and somebody who once was an important part of your life. While it’s true, you’ve been busy and so have they, that fact is, you simply haven’t made time for them. Do it now. Once you’re together again, you’ll be glad you did.
Taurus April 20 May 20
Recently, you’ve dealt with numerous tricky domestic matters. Now, finally, they’re part of the past. In fact, with Mars having moved into your fellow earth sign of Virgo last Monday, and both Venus and the Sun joining it during the week’s last half, you’ll be focusing on life’s joys and pleasures.
Gemini May 21 June 20
Everybody dreams of meeting somebody thrilling or a magical offer that comes from out of the blue. Judging by the current amazing planetary setup, that’s exactly what’s coming your way. But, bizarrely, you may regard what arises as disruptive, so much so you’re actually considering saying no. Think again.
Cancer June 21 July 21
It would be easy to assume the silence of others means they disagree with you, dislike your plans or, perhaps are angry and unwilling to communicate at all. Or, equally, it could be a simple misunderstanding. But you won’t know that if you don’t ask. Do exactly that, and the sooner, the better.
Leo July 22 August 22
Everybody has their own ideas about what’s fun, how things should be done and even life’s pleasures. While you accept that, recent clashes over certain rather silly differences have turned into a battle. Since this is more about ego than hard facts, simply back off. Soon it will all be forgotten.
Virgo August 23 September 22
You haven’t exactly been patient. But you have been forced to recognise that no matter how unfair circumstance have been, there is no single solution. While the coming days’ sudden events will eliminate obstacles, these matters still can’t be rushed. Continuing to be patient won’t be easy but will pay off, and bigtime.
Libra September 23 October 22
Having recently been put in the position of having to defend yourself from blame for the badly made decisions of others, you’re increasingly cautious. And you’re also comparing notes with those involved. This isn’t so much for their advice as to ensure that everybody’s aware of your objectives and long term plans, and happy with them.
Scorpio October 23 November 21
Joy comes in many forms. It can be organised and sometimes even scheduled. However, what’s coming your way is likely to be as surprising as it’ll be delightful. Being unexpected, you might not recognise what’s coming when it first appears. The secret to spotting it? It’s whatever lifts your spirits.
Sagittarius November 22 December 20
When you first undertook certain plans, the process was as exciting as it was demanding. While it involved dealing with a new challenge nearly every day, it also involved venturing into new territory in terms of ideas and meeting people. As much as you’ve dealt with, be prepared for yet more changes.
Capricorn December 21 January 19
There’s a fine line between discussing the best option and getting down into an exchange of ideas that slowly descends into a battle about who’s right. Not only is that possible, neither you nor anybody else is likely to give in. The solution? Sidestep the evaluation process and simply make a plan.
Aquarius January 20 February 17
Few things annoy you more than trying to organise plans with somebody who refuses to focus on the big picture but, instead, thinks only about details. Actually, this is ideal. You dread fine-tuning matters but are superb at dealing with the overview. That being the case, you can split your duties.
Pisces February 18 March 19
Every once in a while, somebody comes up with an idea so far out that, initially, you think they’re joking. But as discussions have unfolded, it’s becoming increasingly clear they’re serious, and expect you to go along with their plans. Back out, and without discussion. It really is your only option.
