STAR GAZING

Aries

March 20 April 18

For ages you’ve struggled to turn certain ideas you’re passionate about into lasting plans. But things have never come together as intended. Begin again, but this time, get others involved. Not only are they more experienced at dealing with the matters in question, they’ll help you focus on what’s most important.

Taurus

April 19 May 19

Some say you’re sometimes stubborn. While. In certain situations, there’s no arguing the truth of that, at other times you must disagree. Rather than debate who said what, invest your time in exploring the ideas in question with others. What you learn in the process will help clear up any confusion, often within minutes.

Gemini

May 20 June 19

Long ago, you realised that while certain individuals rarely show interest in exciting changes or completely new ideas, they’re always eager to get involved. Now that you need some support, ask if they’ve any advice to offer. The fact is, they will, and far more than, recently, you’d have imagined possible.

Cancer

June 20 July 21

Of the twelve signs of the zodiac, Cancerians are among the most intuitive and, equally, the most loyal. At the moment that’s leading to confusion, if not very real problems. Don’t be shy about raising these and talking them over frankly. Once you begin, the rest will be surprisingly easy.

Leo

July 22 August 21

Only days ago, you’d have battled certain changes, mostly because they’d be so disruptive. However, with the foundation on which those arrangements are based shifting, and dramatically, it’s all about organising these, and other arrangements, in an entirely new way. The sooner you begin exploring your options, the better.

Virgo

August 22 September 21

The last thing you want is to upset somebody because of their mistakes. On the other hand, those errors need to be dealt with, and swiftly. The secret? Bear in mind that the individuals in question aren’t nearly as painstaking as you are, and won’t mind their errors being spotted and dealt with.

Libra

September 22 October 21

Several times recently, you’ve battled to keep certain hard-won arrangements as they are. While this determination to stick with existing plans is understandable, the foundation on which those plans are based has changed, enough that a rethink isn’t just wise, it’s increasingly urgent. The sooner you begin exploring your options, the better.

Scorpio

October 22 November 20

Although Mercury’s retrograde cycle ended on the 18th, you’re still dealing with the fallout, especially in terms of others’ mistakes and the resulting misunderstanding. Annoying as these seem at the moment. each is offering you a valuable insight about how to organise plans for the future, and in a way that avoids similar confusion.

Sagittarius

November 21 December 20

Of the twelve signs, you’re not only best equipped to deal with the unexpected, you can turn sudden developments into thrilling opportunities. The problem? Those who can’t help but worry regard your optimism as uncaring. Out of character as it is, be sympathetic. But then offer a few worthwhile suggestions.

Capricorn

December 21 January 19

As a Capricorn and an earth sign, you think through even simple plans, and in detail that doesn’t occur to others. At the moment, however, things are moving so swiftly you’ve no choice but to rely on your instincts. Actually, they’re your best bet. As you’ll discover, they’re as wise as they are practical.

Aquarius

January 20 February 18

There is no wrong way to do the right thing. While you, as a logical Aquarius understand this, not everybody agrees. In fact, certain individuals believe they can do anything they want, as long as they’re not caught. Tempting as it is to talk this over, don’t. They’ve no intention of changing their thinking.

Pisces

February 19 March 19

No sign is better at influencing the thinking of others, yet encouraging the individuals in question to make their own decisions. Although you may not realise it, that’s exactly what you’re doing now. If you must discuss practical matters, stick to those, and those alone. This ensures decisions truly are in others’ hands.
