STAR GAZING

Aries March 20 April 18

Disagreements over details can devour time and lead to temporary disruption in close alliances, personal or professional. However, the clashes you’re currently facing are as important as they are pressing. Tempting as it is to get hung up on details, they’re unimportant. Focus on the big picture. It matters most.

Taurus April 19 May 19

Obviously, giving up ground in arrangements you’ve struggled to organise is upsetting. Still, you’ll realise just howmuch the circumstances in question have changed, and dramatically. Thus the process of rethinking things isn’t just wise, the more questions you ask, and the more you discuss, the clearer it will be that it’s necessary.

Gemini May 20 June 19

During this week of twists, turns and surprises, you’ll spend lots of time untangling misunderstandings. Aggravating as this can be, within a short time you’ll realise just how informative many of these are. In fact, several are revealing answers to persistent questions. The more you explore, the more you’ll learn.

Cancer June 20 July 21

Life is a lot easier when you can discuss, then resolve, issues. However, as you’ll already be aware, certain of these matters are so complex they’ll take ages to deal with. While accepting that fact won’t be easy, once you do, you’ll find it much easier to live with the rest of the chaos.

Leo July 22 August 21

As a generous and enthusiastic Leo, you’ll notice when others are doing well, and say so. While, the individual in question enjoys that, sometimes they’ll be teased by those who’re envious or unkind. Be on the lookout for this and, equally, be prepared to confront those who’re so shockingly petty.

Virgo August 22 September 21

Recently, you knew discussing the full facts would only cause upset and hurt, so told a series of minor white lies. At the time, this strategy worked. But now that the matters in question are taking on greater importance, every fact is being reviewed. Discuss those white lies, and the sooner the better.

Libra September 22 October 21

No sign is better at dealing with even tricky issues discreetly, often to the extent others are unaware of your manoeuvres. Now, however, not only must certain matters be discussed openly, in some cases you’ll need to provoke others into revealing their views. This may not be your usual style. Still, for now, it’s best.

Scorpio October 22 November 20

The recent New Moon didn’t just put you in a reflective mood, it set the scene for the questions you’re currently asking about your priorities and the structure of your life. Although some decisions are clear, other matters are proving to be unexpectedly complex. Be patient. Decision- making will take time.

Sagittarius November 21 December 20

Nobody is better than a Sagittarius at finding a way to sidestep tedious obligations. However dull certain matters threaten to be, they’re important to certain individuals you care about, and they’ll be upset if you simply ignore what’s going on. Regard your time and effort as a gift. That’s exactly what it is.

Capricorn

December 21 January 19

For ages you’ve sensed surprise events would shake up even seemingly simple arrangements. However, what’s coming your way between now and the end of the month will be as surprising as it is unsettling. The secret is to approach planning in a completely un- Capricorn manner, that is, to leave events to destiny, and do the minimum.

Aquarius January 20 February 18

Ordinarily, you enjoy a lively discussion, especially if views differ. At the moment, however, certain individuals are clinging to views that are either outdated, and could lead to problems, or ideas they’ve heard fromothers, but haven’t thought through. The trick? For now, listen but say nothing. At least, for the moment.

Pisces

February 19 March 19

There is no wrong way to be kind to others, although certain critical individuals can manage to find flaws in almost anything or anybody. Tempting as it is to try and reason with them, it’s pointless. There’s only one solution, and that’s to say exactly what you think, then walk away. End of discussion.
