Aries March 20 April 18

The last thing you’re in the mood for is lengthy discussions about what’s gone wrong recently and how similar situations can be avoided in the future. You’d rather tackle any such difficulties when they arise, if they do. Despite that at least listen to what others have to say. It’s important.

Taurus April 19 May 19

When you first decided not to mention certain issues or perhaps sidestep those matters entirely they weren’t of much significance. But now they are, which means you owe it to yourself and others to raise these and discuss them frankly and openly. Waste to time wondering when. Do it as soon as possible.

Gemini May 20 June 20

While there’s no denying that certain people are aggravating, you long ago learned to work around their peculiarities. Now however it seems their worries simply can’t be avoided. That being the case raise the issues you know are bothering them. This will both surprise them and ensure you’re in control.

Cancer June 21 July 21

Some say you’re a mind-reader. While it’s true you seem to know more about others’ feelings than they do it’s because they ignore the ups and only respond to the downs when they’re nearly overwhelming. Rather than rescue them, help them learn to be more attentive to their own emotions.

Leo July 22 August 21

Every day and hour is precious, especially when you’ve lots of commitments but want to spend time with somebody who touches your heart. Yet certain individuals don’t understand why this is a priority. You could explain, but because not everybody’s feelings run as deep as yours, a few misunderstandings are inevitable.

Virgo August 22 September 21

Obviously you’re still hoping there’s a single uncomplicated solution for one particularly tricky situation. But the more you learn the clearer it’s becoming that things aren’t that straightforward. On the plus side others are eager to be helpful. Let them. Their intentions are good and, better yet, they’re well informed.

Libra September 22 October 22

Judging by the series of planetary links being formed between the communicative Mercury and most of the planetary heavyweights between now and the end of March there’ll be lots of discussions. While they’ll be hugely profitable few decisions will have been made. Ideally these can wait until late next week.

Scorpio October 23 November 21

Sometimes things simply fall into place. But more often even the most welcome of arrangements require some thought, discussion and change. Not only is this the case now, certain individuals don’t yet understand why alterations are necessary. Instead of arguing, ask them to trust you while you make those changes.

Sagittarius November 22 December 20

When you committed to one particular plan life was less complicated and you were excited about the promise it held. Since then both your enthusiasm about its potential and about the individual in question have waned. Say nothing. That would trigger unnecessary battles. Instead quietly but steadily disentangle yourself from this arrangement.

Capricorn December 21 January 18

Judging by the tricky aspects between Mercury and Jupiter to Pluto which is positioned in Capricorn, differences with others or unexpected events will mean rethinking plans. While in some cases these will be so simple you won’t notice, others will be as challenging as ultimately they prove to be informative.

Aquarius January 19 February 17

The past week hasn’t been easy and judging by what’s next, life’s just becoming more complicated. Consequently this hardly seems the ideal time to raise unresolved issues with others. However these are related to several of the situations in flux. Tackle both at once and you’ll be amazed how much you accomplish.

Pisces February 18 March 19

The last thing you want to do is upset anybody. Yet judging by the rather intense planetary activity between now and the end of March you’ll need to take the lead including in certain situations where others view themselves as in charge. For now you’re responsible for plans and long range decisions.
