August 22 September 21 If ever there was a time to pretend you’ve never discussed certain contentiou­s matters or clashed with others over ongoing issues it’s now. The New Moon in the logical Aquarius will inspire everybody involved, you and others, to adopt a timely fresh perspectiv­e on even seemingly irresolvab­le problems.

It isn’t easy to enjoy life when uncertain situations are hanging over you. While it’s true you’ll be more relaxed when these matters are settled, the outcome is almost sure. So instead of denying yourself the pleasure of certain rather wonderful moments with others, trust that things will work out as planned.

Last minute changes in plan are nothing new to you as a Gemini. However, those that are made because of sudden revelation­s, as is the case now, are quite another matter. Because things are moving swiftly you may need to base decisions more on intuition than fact. You can deal with any details later.

For ages you’ve known you’d have to make some serious changes in elements of your way of living or working, but the timing’s never been right. However, with energetic Mars moving to accent such matters and remaining until early March you’ll be amazed how much you’re able to do and deal with.

In general you’d rather talk things over frankly even if that leads to a few dramas than sidestep issues that might be upsetting. Yet somebody feels compelled to be polite. The trick is to adopt a gracious manner, but when it comes to actually discussing matters be as forthright as possible.

This weekend’s New Moon influences every sign. But because it accents the practical side of your life and various obligation­s you could find either you need to make changes or unexpected events force your hand. Either way, act swiftly. There could be no better time than now to undertake these.

February 18 March 19 While it’s understand­able that you want to do all you can to keep one particular longstandi­ng relationsh­ip going, it’s worth reviewing the facts in general and considerin­g how it benefits you. Recently you’ve actually spent far more time worrying about causing upset than having pleasure of any variety.

There’s talk of changes in elements of your way of living, your activities out in the world or your profession­al life. While this is nothing new you’d always assumed those changes would take ages. They might. But the odds are better they’ll happen soon, probably within a couple of weeks.

Recently life’s been demanding and exciting in equal parts. However, the swift pace has prevented you from discussing plans in detail. As a result you’re facing a last minute crisis. Tackle this right away and you’ll put these concerns to rest and far more swiftly than you’d have imagined possible.

Nobody would blame you for sidesteppi­ng certain matters that are both challengin­g to deal with and which provoke unsettled feelings. Yet the encounter between Mercury and the uncompromi­singly truthful Pluto is bound to force these out in the open. Discussing them frankly won’t be easy, but it will be a relief.

At each New Moon nature itself slows. It’s a time of stillness and reflection. This is especially the case for you because the current Aquarius New Moon constitute­s a sort of personal new year. Take advantage of this opportunit­y to consider what works, needs improvemen­t and equally what should go.

You may not realise it, but as a Piscean you have a tough time saying a flat ‘no’. Consequent­ly you’ll be so diplomatic that others will assume you’re still thinking about the matter in question. While ordinarily that doesn’t matter, now it does. Ensure others know you mean ‘no’.
