STAR GAZING
Aries
March 20 April 18
For ages you were confident that, sooner or later, you’d be able to turn tricky situations into longstanding arrangements. However, the more you try, the more complicated plans become. As much as you dislike the ideas, back off and begin again. you’ll soon realise how wise a decision that was.
Taurus
April 19 May 19
As a Taurus and being born under the rulership of Venus, the planet of charm and elegance, you’ve a talent for winning others over to your way of thinking, often without too much time-consuming debate. Now, however, those discussions aren’t just important, they’ll bring crucial, but unspoken, facts to the surface.
Gemini
May 20 June 19
Judging by the current rather tricky planetary activity, even seemingly simple plans are unlikely to last for long, at least as they were first conceived. Still, be flexible. Within days, changes in the circumstances around you would mean conducting a top to bottom rethink. Once you begin, you’ll realise the timing is perfect.
Cancer
June 20 July 21
Since early January, you’ve struggled to keep certain once important arrangements going as they have been. While, initially, you were confident things could remain as they are, over the past few days it’s become clear that changes aren’t just necessary, they’re inevitable. The sooner you begin making them, the better.
Leo
July 22 August 21
Although Mercury’s retrograde cycle ended last week, you’re still wrestling with the minor errors it triggered. While, as a somewhat impatient fire sign, you’d rather get them dealt with and move on, things aren’t nearly as simple. The solution? Deal with the matters in question in detail, and the sooner, the better.
Virgo
August 22 September 21
Nobody would blame you for being grumpy about situations where, to be frank, certain individuals simply didn’t bother to deal with their end of obligations. Be aware, however, that they may have been short of facts or unsure what was best. If ever there was a time to be easygoing about such matters, it’s now.
Libra
September 22 October 21
Obviously you’d rather talk through tricky issues once, then regard them as part of the past. However, with the foundation on which they’re based shifting, you’re better off regarding plans as more of an experiment than anything meant to be lasting. Uneasy? Try it out. You’ll soon realise how wise this approach is.
Scorpio October 22 November 20
Ages ago you decided to keep certain tricky matters to yourself. You weren’t just unsure who to trust, others seemed equally short of facts. Now, suddenly, things are beginning to happen. Yet you’ve lots of unanswered questions. That’s fine. Tackle them, one at a time, and you’ll get the answers you need.
Sagittarius
November 21 December 20
Every once in a while, you need to get away from elements of your life that are important and, in many ways, rewarding. The problem? They’re dull, and there’s no hope of making changes. What you can do, however, is find something so exciting that it compensates for those tedious, and persistent, tasks or responsibilities.
Capricorn
December 21 January 19
Nobody makes more effort to ensure plans are organised wisely, in terms of timing and practicalities. However, with so much in transition, the odds are good you’ll have to rethink even the simplest arrangements, and more than once. While irritating in the short term, what you learn will more than justify the effort required.
Aquarius
January 20 February 18
Yet again, you’ve tangled with somebody who isn’t just narrowminded, they won’t even discuss ideas that excite you. For now, back off. Then, wait until the right moment, and raise these again, but as if somebody else suggested them. It’s irritating, but there’ll be a far more positive reaction.
Pisces
February 19 March 19
Several times recently, you made suggestions or encouraged others to take action. Your intention was to boost their spirits and, if things went well, for them to overcome persistent obstacles. The problem? Certain individuals misunderstood this as criticism. For now, say nothing. This will blow over, and surprisingly swiftly.
