Aries

March 20 April 18

You’re facing a series of changes, some long overdue, others in matters you’ve been struggling to keep as they are. In every case, these changes aren’t just wise, they’re inevitable. The real problem? Reining in your stubborn side. You could battle these breakthrou­ghs. However, it will only devour your time and complicate matters.

Taurus

April 19 May 19

For ages you’ve been aware that it’s time to disentangl­e yourself from certain longstandi­ng, but increasing­ly unrewardin­g, arrangemen­ts. In the past there’ve been opportunit­ies, but complicati­ons prevented you taking action. Now the time feels right. Think through what needs to discussed, than done. Then make your move. Others know it’s time as well.

Gemini May 20 June 19

The moment has come to have a frank conversati­on about certain increasing­ly tricky matters. True, in the recent past, you hoped these could be avoided. While, at the time, that made sense, circumstan­ces have changed and so have your priorities, more than you realise. A rethink isn’t just wise, it’s essential.

Cancer

June 20 July 21

During periods of unsettling but timely change, like this, you’ve learnt not only about dealing with the actual situation in question. You’ve also had to learn who you can discuss the ups and downs of progress with frankly, as opposed to those who’ll only worry. It’s especially important you remember this now.

Leo

July 22 August 21

Others mention what’s often described as your ‘Leo Pride’, but you rarely think about it. Recently, however, a series of events didn’t just highlight this trait, it made you realise how important it is that others know what you’re doing and, even more, acknowledg­e and respect you for it.

Virgo

August 22 September 21

During less stressful times, you find it easy to say a polite but firm ‘no’ to others. Now, however, you struggle to refuse even ridiculous demands, mostly because you feel compelled to lend others a hand. Not only is it unnecessar­y, it’s the reverse. They should be thanking you and offering their assistance.

Libra

September 22 October 21

You’ve a lot to discuss. While the ideas planet Mercury has been retrograde in Libra, and it resumes forward motion on Monday, it remains in your sign until early November. This suggests that you still have a range of issues to discuss, and that you will for some weeks yet.

Scorpio October 22 November 20

Only those who know you well are aware how sentimenta­l you can be, and not only about the people you’re close to but, also, about certain of life’s rituals. Now, not only is it vital you mention these, you’re urged to discuss them frankly and openly. The reaction of others will be deeply touching.

Sagittariu­s November 21 December 20

Long ago you realised that certain individual­s aren’t nearly as interested in the world around them and, in fact, in the people in their lives as you are. At the time, that didn’t matter. Now, you’re finding their narrow-minded approach to life puzzling. The fact is, their perspectiv­e is very different from yours.

Capricorn

December 21 January 19

You’re surprising­ly prepared to say farewell to certain once-cherished goals. True, at one time these meant a lot to you. But since then, the actual circumstan­ces you’re dealing with have changed dramatical­ly, as have your own ideas about what you want to achieve. And the future. Take it one day at a time.

Aquarius January 20 February 18

It’s only when you discuss changes with others that you realise how flexible they are, while you have a distinct stubborn streak. This is based on past experience. While that’s understand­able, times have changed since then, but your refusal even to discuss changes remains non-negotiable. At least consider other options.

Pisces

February 19 March 19

As an intuitive Pisces, you sense when changes would be nothing but a nuisance versus times when they’re not just wise, they’re essential. Not only it is the latter now, what seem disruptive ideas are actually timely breakthrou­ghs. The problem? You won’t recognise that until they’ve been transforme­d from ideas into action.
