STAR GAZING
ARIES ( MARCH 20 – APRIL 18) Exciting as recent ideas are, you’re urged to check out the practical side of arrangements now. You’re not worried. By Thursday, when the Sun’s at odds with the cautious Saturn, you’ll probably have to deal with the concerns of some people, so you may as well gather your facts now. LEO ( JULY 22 – AUGUST 21) Take advantage of the energy and enthusiasm generated by the recent alliance between your ruler the Sun and the courageous Mars. This will provide the extra boost necessary to motivate others or to keep your spirits up in the face of rather challenging obstacles. TAURUS ( APRIL 19 – MAY 19) Little is as bad as clashing with somebody who cares more about winning than honesty. Yet it would appear you’ve been contending with exactly that. Exasperating and unfair as the situation in question has been, there’s only one way to win, and that involves remaining charming no matter how frustrating things are. GEMINI ( MAY 20 – JUNE 19) Some people take life far too seriously. So when one of these individuals raised questions about certain arrangements, your first impulse was to dismiss their concerns. That would be unwise. In this case they’ve noticed something that deserves your attention. VIRGO ( AUGUST 22 – SEPTEMBER 21) Few things are more disheartening than witnessing arguments between loved ones that are really more petty disputes than about legitimate issues. Or so they seem. Do a little discreet delving, and you’ll discover there are serious issues behind these. However, these are strictly theirs, and theirs alone, to acknowledge and deal with. LIBRA ( SEPTEMBER 22 – OCTOBER 22) Important as talking things over may be, it’s better to take action first and analyse situations later. While the circumstances you’re dealing with may be ideal now, with a swift pace you could easily lose that advantage. Whatever you must discuss can wait. PISCES ( FEBRUARY 19 – MARCH 19) Disruptive as reviewing existing alliances and exploring new ones may be, the time you invest in such matters will repay you handsomely. Now that Venus has moved into your sign, the actual foundation on which these relationships is based is changing, and for the better. CANCER ( JUNE 20 — JULY 21) If you’re still mulling over both what you experienced and the emotions that were roused by the Cancer Full Moon it’s no surprise. While you were aware of what was going on, the intensity of your feelings is likely to have been as illuminating as it was unanticipated. SCORPIO ( OCTOBER 23 – NOVEMBER 20) You’ve no intention of discussing issues that you regard as strictly private. While this is understandable, it’s also putting those around you in a difficult position. They can’t ignore those issues, but don’t know how to handle them. At least give them a hint. SAGITTARIUS ( NOVEMBER 21 – DECEMBER 20) Only days ago you were so optimistic about certain plans that you made promises that were perhaps a bit rash. Now events are bearing that out. While you could say nothing and hope things will unfold as you hope, that would be unwise. Inform others about your concerns. CAPRICORN ( DECEMBER 21 – JANUARY 19) Recent conversations weren’t just frank, you’re now concerned you revealed far too much. While you may have been more open than is your habit, as a cautious Capricorn, the reaction will be wonderful. You may not know it, but you’ve given new life to fatigued relationships. AQUARIUS ( JANUARY 20 – FEBRUARY 18) Acknowledging certain decisions simply aren’t up to you isn’t easy. Do so, however, and everything else is much easier. Besides, with the Sun, Pluto and communication planet, Mercury, all in the most strategic portion of your chart, this period is about observation, not fast action. Sometimes you need to be more aggressive than you think wise, or overly cautious. If you overdo it, you’ll be able to backtrack and get things right. This will take time. Still, you’ll recognise that’s the best approach to changes that are necessary but far beyond anything you initially had in mind. Most important, be patient.
