HOROSCOPE

Oct 23 – Nov 21

PLANNING ahead may be a virtue. But now, prior to the allimportant Scorpio New Moon on Nov 11, life’s about reflection. Focus on what doesn’t work or might go. Be fearless. This editing process is decluttering your mind, and preparing you for the offers and insights soon to come your way.

Nov 22 – Dec 21

ACKNOWLEDGING that certain individuals aren’t as admirable as you thought may be disillusioning. But, as you reflect on what you’ve learnt, it will explain certain persistent problems. Say a firm farewell to these but, as you do, note the danger signals so that, in the future, you can spot them more swiftly.

Dec 22 – Jan 19

TEMPTING as it is to blame others for disappointing situations, deep down you knew something was wrong. It’s just you couldn’t define the issue well enough to discuss it or express your concerns to others. You didn’t need to justify those feelings. Simply acknowledging and acting on them would have been enough.

Jan 20 – Feb 17

BEING understanding is a virtue. Still, as much as you sympathise with the dilemmas others are facing, they’re not alone. Everybody is wrestling with one or two challenges, and that includes you. That being the case, firmly dismiss that as an excuse for others not fulfilling certain obligations.

Feb 18 – March 19

GOOD fortune can appear in many ways. At the moment, it could take on the form of something in your life coming to a conclusion and, perhaps, an ending that you find upsetting. Yet, what’s going is making way for something that isn’t just better, it’s the beginning of a thrilling new cycle for you.

March 20 – April 19

HAVING already realised that certain arrangements aren’t going according to plan, you’re all the more determined to achieve your objectives. Think twice before you commit. The actual foundation on which those plans are based is shifting. You’re better off waiting for things to clear before finalising those plans.

April 20 – May 20

THIS is no time to make promises. In fact, even the simplest of plans are unlikely to proceed as you anticipated. This is no indication of problems. On the contrary, the ideas or offers currently coming your way will, inevitably, mean rethinking what you have already organised, and if not, to eliminate them altogether.

May 21 – June 20

ADMITTING that you’ve no control over certain increasingly-worrying situations isn’t easy. But it’s true. Only once you let go of the reins will you have a clear enough perspective to make more far-reaching decisions. These, in turn, will influence those matters currently so much on your mind.

June 21 – July 22

DON’T make the mistake of assuming that the unexpected obstacles you’re currently facing mean once-promising plans have gone wrong. On the contrary, they’re very right. So much so that it’s time to declutter your life and future plans. What once worked needs to go, and before too long.

July 23 – Aug 22

THERE’S a difference between making decisions, which you must do, and finalising arrangements. Not only is this unwise, as you’ll discover over the coming days, it’s impossible. The actual foundation on which events are based is itself shifting. Knowing that, regard everything as somewhat of an experiment.

Aug 23 – Sept 22

LEARNING that something’s gone wrong or, worse, that one particular individual has been deceiving you is no fun. However, at least you now know why certain things simply didn’t add up. Do what you can to put things right. But, even more important, explore the source of those problems to begin with.

Sept 23 – Oct 22

THE idea of progress is very cheering indeed. But we tend to forget that in the process of embracing new plans or ideas, inevitably certain elements of the past must be left behind. This is what you’re battling now. Acknowledge that these arrangements must go and your life will be a lot easier.
