STAR GAZING
Aries March 20 April 18
There are many ways to say the single word ‘no’, and at the moment you’re urged to be as flexible as possible. Ordinarily you’d regard that as a compromise. But the fact is, however strong your convictions are at the moment, as the actual circumstances change so, too, will your views.
Taurus April 19 May 19
While every sign is influenced by Mercury’s retrograde cycle, because it’s actually positioned in the portion of your chart that accents communication, you’re facing two forms of confusion. First, there’s others’ mistakes. But, also, you’re having to acknowledge, and deal with your own errors of judgement, both from the past and the present.
Gemini May 20 June 19
It’s not that you’ve regarded certain topics as forbidden, in the sense nobody’s willing to discuss them. The real problem is everybody’s been short of facts, including you. Within days, however, revelations won’t just mean everyone’s talking about what they’ve learnt, they’ll be discussing possibilities for the future as well.
Cancer June 20 July 21
When you decided to keep certain tricky issues to yourself, it was because even revealing them could cause upset. What’s more, they weren’t that important. However, circumstances have shifted and now these are of considerable significance. That being the case, be the first to raise them, and discuss them frankly and openly.
Leo July 22 August 21
Every once in a while, you lose your temper. But most of the time you’re able to deal with even very difficult individuals and retain your perspective and, ideally, your sense of humour. Now, however, you’ve no choice but to say exactly what you think of others’ actions, and take a tough line.
Virgo August 22 September 21
You’re an expert at advising others when to take a break, either to get away or, when they look seriously exhausted, to rest. And, mostly, others thank you. However, when the tables are turned and you’re advised to slow down or relax, you brush it off, even if, in fact, that advice is timely.
Libra September 22 October 21
Being gracious comes naturally to you. This skill ensures things run smoothly, and you employ it even when dealing with those who’re impossible, and unlikely to change. However, one particular individual requires a special approach, often called the ‘cold shoulder’, which means whatever they say or do, you ignore them.
Scorpio October 22 November 20
Being a cautious Scorpio, you’re always wary of offers that seem too good to be true. However, judging by the recent link between the fortunate Jupiter and your ruler Pluto, even suspiciously generous offers are likely to be just as good as they seem. Waste no time on debate. At minimum, explore them.
Sagittarius November 21 December 20
Your easy-going nature isn’t just charming, it means that when you’re facing the confusion typical of Mercury’s retrograde cycle, you’re often able to turn those twists and turns to your advantage. However, not everybody is as clever and some, in fact, seem determined to struggle, whatever it is that comes their way.
Capricorn December 21 January 19
Long ago you learnt that opportunities that come from out of the blue are often more about others’ dreams than anything lasting or promising. However, with so much in transition, even what seems unlikely could work out. Knowing that, explore every idea or offer that comes your way. It’s unlikely you’ll regret it.
Aquarius January 20 February 18
Often, in discussions, you’ll sidestep past issues that were both confusing and a problem, knowing they’re less important now. Still, sooner or later, these are bound to crop up. The time you invest in untangling these now means, should these arise in the future, there’ll be no concerns about them causing problems.
Pisces February 19 March 19
Diplomacy isn’t just important, when you’re dealing with seriously tricky people, it’s vital. However, one or two matters have become so confused that you must go to the other extreme and state the facts fully and clearly. Once that’s done, you can have a realistic discussion about the present and the future.
