Aries March 20 April 18

As an Aries, you’re often impatient, eager for things to happen soon. That comes with being ruled by the fiery planet Mars. However, if you’re especially on edge now, it’s no surprise, because after weeks of delays, on Sunday Mars actually moves into your sign, ending confusion and triggering a cycle of dynamic action.

Taurus April 19 May 19

As a Taurus, you’ve a strong sense of right and wrong and when you’re concerned about a particular situation, you’ll speak up. The problem at the moment is you’re short of facts. Don’t let this prevent you raising concerns. For now, focus more on raising questions than the facts you know.

Gemini May 20 June 19

For ages you’ve been tiptoeing around increasingly sensitive issues, knowing that once discussions began, there’d be no escaping them, at least with certain individuals. However, the time has come to raise these. While achieving an accord could take ages, at least you’ll have begun the process. That, alone, is an achievement.

Cancer June 20 July 21

If you’re being logical, you’d never agree to ideas, offers or plans without knowing the details. However, you can explore what’s arisen, and learn as much as possible. That way, when these mere ideas turn into something more solid, you’ll be well-informed enough to take things to the next stage.

Leo July 22 August 21

Often your stubborn streak is a helpful ally, especially when clashes over unwelcome changes have turned into personal battles. Between your Leo charm and ability to stand your ground, you’ll force those who’re determined to keep things as they were, whatever the cost. Things can’t remain as they are. A flexible approach is vital.

Virgo August 22 September 21

One particular individual prides themselves on being up to date on the latest developments. While it’s true, they’re knowledgeable about certain matters, they’re hopelessly behind on others. Now, they’re insisting you follow their advice. Thank them, saying you’ll think about it. Then quietly vanish. It’s the only way you’ll avoid an onslaught of their helpful suggestions.

Libra September 22 October 21

Every once in a while somebody you’re fond of decides life has been unfair to them. What’s more, they feel this means they’ve a right to demand the attention of those closest, such as you. While there’s no point discussing this, you can quietly avoid them until they’ve moved on to other matters.

Scorpio October 22 November 20

When you first decided not to mention certain issues, it was because you regarded them as personal. However, times have changed and so have the circumstances you’re dealing with. So much, in fact, you need to discuss them with others. Don’t be shy. They know more than you think and will be amazingly helpful.

Sagittarius November 21 December 20

By tradition, your ruling planet Jupiter symbolises good fortune, which is one of the reasons Sagittarians are said to be lucky. At the moment, however, certain perplexing developments have you wondering about that. While these aren’t exactly welcome, once you learn more, you’ll recognise them as the breakthroughs they are.

Capricorn December 21 January 19

Long ago you learnt to discern the difference between those who enjoy complaining for the sake of it, versus certain individuals who have an amazing knack for spotting potential problems, before the situation is urgent. That’s the case now. The more swiftly you act on their words, the better it will be for everybody.

Aquarius January 20 February 18

This is one of those strange periods during which the least expected of events or, possibly, alliances with others won’t just prove helpful, they’ll lead to developments as exciting as they are unexpected. True, taking these to the next stage will demand courage and that you undertake changes. This begins with exploring them, nothing more.

Pisces February 19 March 19

Knowing what a dream come true would be is one thing. Turning that into reality is something else entirely. However, at the moment that’s not only possible, if you act swiftly, things could happen very swiftly. The clearer your vision, the easier it will be to turn this into reality, and soon.
