Aries

March 20 April 19

Although the Aries Full Moon took place over a week ago, you’re still dealing with the fallout from a range of emotional issues. True, you discussed and dealt with some right away. But others seemed overwhelming, so much you’re avoiding them. Don’t. The sooner you tackle them, the easier it will be.

Taurus

April 20 May 20

While you’ve admitted there’s no way around one particular issue between you and somebody who can be incredibly stubborn, you’re still hoping they’ll see the light. And so, you mention reasons they should give in, in the hope you’ll win them over. You won’t. In fact, they’re getting more irritated by the minute.

Gemini

May 21 June 20

For ages you’ve successfully tiptoed around issues you knew concerned others and which you’ve had no idea how to deal with. However, it’s increasingly clear these aren’t just going to need to be dealt with, if they’re ignored for much longer they could turn into serious problems. The sooner you act, the better.

Cancer

June 21 July 21

Long ago you learnt that as much as you’d like to see tricky issues on the domestic front dealt with swiftly, those you’re facing can’t be hurried. If others complain, let them. Sooner or later they, too, will realise it’s better to do something once, and properly, than to tackle it in a rush.

Leo

July 22 August 22

Understandably, you’re still weighing up the idea of saying nothing about certain tricky matters and hoping they’ll work themselves out versus discussing them frankly now. While the latter may seem wise, you’re short of vital information. The fact is, you’d be better off taking it slowly or, waiting, watching and seeing what happens.

Virgo

August 23 September 22

In early October, your ruling planet Mercury moved into the sign that’s all about focus, frank discussion and getting to the facts. While you’ve never regarded yourself as secretive, what you’ve been talking about has made you realise how frequently you sidestep certain matters. Now, you’ll be more open about them.

Libra

September 23 October 22

The events and insights kick-started by the Sun’s move into your sign, and the Libra New Moon, during September’s final week have led to a period of questioning, discovery and exploration. While you’ve already made some changes, others are as yet undecided. Move swiftly, or destiny will make those decisions for you.

Scorpio

October 23 November 21

With both Mercury and Venus, which accents what, and who, you value in life both positioned in Scorpio since early October, you’ve been thinking about and discussing a range of issues, some as persistent as they’ve been puzzling. While you’ve made progress in many, answers regarding those that remain will appear within days.

Sagittarius

November 22 December 20

One of your greatest gifts is your ability to deal with, if not surmount, obstacles swiftly and often without much thought. Now, however, you’re urged to carefully analyse what you’re doing, and point by point. That may seem unnecessary now. But within days you’ll realise how crucial certain seemingly minor decisions were.

Capricorn

December 21 January 19

Most of those born under the sign of Capricorn have an instinctive understanding of the need to tackle things in stages, especially complex plans or projects. However, it seems certain well-meaning but thoughtless individuals are encouraging you to move swiftly. Thank them for their advice, then quietly resume your measured pace.

Aquarius

January 20 February 17

Timely and, in many ways, as welcome as the recent efforts of one particular individual have been to guide you have been, you’re also somewhat irritated. The issue isn’t what they said or suggested but, rather, there’s a part of you that feels you should be entirely self-sufficient. Reflect on that, and at length.

Pisces

February 18 March 19

Recent discussions about certain seriously worrying matters weren’t just worthwhile, they made you feel optimistic about these for the first time in ages. However, things aren’t going that well. It’s the idealistic side of your Piscean nature, colliding with reality. This will work out. Just not as smoothly as you hoped.
