Aries March 20 April 18

It’s been a tricky time. However, one of the biggest lessons of the past few months has been the importance of being true to yourself. While in many situations, this has been a relief, in a few you’ve been forced to acknowledg­e you were trying to please others, so denying your own priorities.

Taurus April 19 May 19

You don’t realise it, but when you’re on edge or nervous, you’ll take over the conversati­on. Deep down, your intention is to avoid those worrying issues. However, others sometimes feel that you’re preventing them from saying what they have in mind. If you’re doing this, back off. You’ll soon realise how wise it is.

Gemini

May 20 June 19

Working alongside others is one thing, and you rather enjoy it. At the moment, however, events are forcing you to hand the power to make plans and decisions to them. Obviously, you find this worrying. You should. They’re not nearly as well informed as they pretend to be. Disentangl­e yourself now, while you can.

Cancer June 20 July 21

Even the most practical of Cancerians have moments of sentimenta­lity, when a familiar element of life must go. Despite that, you’re well aware that the events behind these changes aren’t just worth exploring, they could develop into something wonderful. The secret? Resist the temptation to plunge in. You’re better off taking it slowly.

Leo July 22 August 21

Being a fire sign, you regard life’s dramas, whatever their form, as exciting, if not a thrilling challenge. However, you benefit froma strong ego and zest for life others lack. And that’s exactly what one particular individual is wrestling with. Fromyour perspectiv­e, they’re overdramat­ising but, in fact, they’re frightened and struggling.

Virgo August 22 September 21

Now that the Sun and your ruler Mercury, which is retrograde, have moved into new positions, the actual circumstan­ces you’re dealing with are coming undone, often in dramatic ways. While, ordinarily you’d try to pull things back together, take it easy. There’s no rush. This unsettling cycle will continue for some weeks.

Libra September 22 October 21

For days, and in some cases, for weeks you’ve been trying to find the right moment to raise and discuss several increasing­ly tricky issues. The fact is, these haven’t been clear until recently and, in some, the facts are still surfacing. Begin slowly, and gradually you’ll discuss and deal with each.

Scorpio

October 22 November 20

Obviously, you won’t be happy about it. But the fact is that, in certain tricky situations, you’ve no choice but to be patient. Not only are others not ready to discuss the matters in question frankly, you’re lacking vital facts. However, you won’t know what these are until you begin asking some questions. Do it now.

Sagittariu­s November 21 December 20

Recently, you’ve faced a series of challengin­g situations and, to your amazement, not only enjoyed tackling them, you’ve learnt from each. This is preparatio­n for the next round of challenges. They won’t be easy, but they’ll enable you to deal with, and bring certain burdensome issues to a conclusion, once and for all.

Capricorn

December 21 January 19

Ordinarily, you’ll work hard to create the perfect plan, both for the short term and long range. But as you’re discoverin­g, things are too unsettled for any such arrangemen­ts to last. The trick? Begin plans knowing sudden changes are likely, and instead of focusing on details, you’ll ensure everything else is flexible.

Aquarius January 20 February 18

The Full Moon, at the end of the month and the New Moon, in mid- November, both accent the need to conduct a serious rethink of certain elements of your life. While you’ll be tempted to make a plan now, it would prevent you exploring exciting, if unexpected, options as they arise.

Pisces

February 19 March 19

The last thing you want to do is upset somebody who’s already struggling with tricky situations. However, the individual in question is seeking support for their desire to stick with the past. Clearly this would be unwise. And, if they ask, that’s exactly what you’ll have to tell them, and quite firmly.
