STAR GAZING
Aries March 20 April 18
As you may be aware, not only has the ideas planet Mercury been retrograde, or in reverse motion, for much of that period, it’s been in Aries. While Mercury resumes forward motion on May 3 it remains in your sign until the 16th, giving you plenty of opportunity for questioning and review.
Taurus April 19 May 19
The odd thing about dealing with dramatic changes such as those that were triggered by last Wednesday’s Taurus New Moon is their potential isn’t always recognisable for what it is right away. Only now are you beginning to see the promise in ideas that seemed far out if not just plain unrealistic.
Gemini May 20 June 20
Generally the best way to deal with those who’re critical by nature is to let them air their views but ignore what they say, thank them and then politely but firmly change the subject. Bizarrely however a number of their observations might be helpful if not crucial. Certainly they’re worth listening to.
Cancer June 21 July 21
Obviously the term ‘finalising arrangements’ is appealing. With so much in transition however even the simplest of plans are unlikely to proceed as they were first organised or as you intended. Knowing that, regard everything you do as a bit of an experiment and when changes arise you’ll be ready for them.
Leo July 22 August 21
It’s rare that any Leo is critical, and if so the focus tends to be practical issues. Yet recently somebody was so irritating you were stunned into silence. Now you’re upset and that’s turned into an uncharacteristic variety of bitterness. Discuss this openly and soon. And be frank. It will achieve wonders.
Virgo August 22 September 21
Making a plan in the midst of an unsettled period is alone an achievement. But also it’s worth bearing in mind that with your ruler Mercury retrograde until this coming Wednesday what seem solid facts could be unreliable. Knowing that, when you make plans try to ensure they can be easily rethought.
Libra September 22 October 22
While you find it difficult to believe that certain individuals were unaware that big-time changes were in the air, that’s genuinely the case. In fact because it’s an unsettled period everybody including you is juggling all sorts of changes, but especially in circumstances and just as much in your priorities.
Scorpio October 23 November 21
You rarely think about it, but you’ve a clever way of avoiding potentially unrewarding conflicts with others. You diplomatically sidestep the subject saying as little as possible until the focus shifts to another matter. While ordinarily that works, this won’t pass. The sooner you discuss the issue in question the better.
Sagittarius November 22 December 20
Certain of the signs tend to be critical of others and equally picky about how thing are done. While mostly you’re easygoing, in one or two matters you’re obsessed with both the timing and details of arrangements. This isn’t just unwise, judging by the current changeable state of things it’s unrealistic.
Capricorn December 21 January 18
There’s a tendency to blame every problem you come across on the retrograde Mercury. While it’s true, mixups can be more frequent they’ll often lead to amazing insights or unexpected but thrilling encounters. Knowing that waste no time trying to keep plans as they are. Explore and the more the better.
Aquarius January 19 February 17
As an air sign you’d rather define and deal with issues when they arise and are fresh in everybody’s mind. But some of what you’re facing goes back a long way, so far in fact that untangling the issues in question will take time and patience. Knowing that there’s absolutely no rush.
Pisces February 18 March 19
You long ago learnt that one of the best ways to escape pointless debates or battles with others is to sidestep the issue entirely. While that’s worked in the past do that now and it will be assumed you’re in agreement with existing plans which is by no means the case.
