Aries March 20 April 18 It’s not that you’ve been dishonest as much as you’ve sidestepped facts you regarded as both a distraction and unimportant. Once perhaps that was true. But now these don’t just need to be reviewed, it should be in detail. Only once you’re discussing them with others will you realise how crucial they are. Taurus April 19 May 19

Only recently you weren’t just committed to certain arrangements you were battling to keep them afloat. But various discussions have disillusioned you to such an extent that you’re questioning your continued interest in these. That’s wise. Times have changed and so have your priorities, enough that these now have surprisingly little significance. Gemini May 20 June 20

Irritating as the attitude and actions of one particular individual are you’re in no position to complain. While unquestionably they’re annoying you’ll need to define exactly what bothers you, enough you can describe it clearly. Only once that’s done should you even think of discussing this with the individual in question. Cancer June 21 July 21

Usually planning ahead isn’t just wise, it enables you to set priorities and organise your time cleverly. Yet with several of the planetary heavyweights moving into new positions over the coming weeks even simple arrangements will need to be rethought. Knowing that, ensure whatever you organise can be easily changed. Leo July 22 August 21

Sometimes it’s easy to make long range plans. But as you’ve undoubtedly noticed, with so much in transition around you and in your own life even the simplest of arrangements are bound to change and change again. Don’t let this worry you. On the contrary every change constitutes thrilling growth and progress. Virgo August 22 September 21

The time has come to take a tough line with somebody who is on the best of days temperamental. While the anxiety you’re experiencing about their reaction to your demands is understandable they know they’re out of line. An offer to suggest solutions will be welcomed and with open arms. Libra September 22 October 22 Don’t be shy about stating your desires or in fact expressing your feelings. True, as a Libra you’re cautious and try to select the ideal moment for crucial discussions. However with things moving so swiftly you’re better off saying what needs to be said now than waiting too long and regretting it. Scorpio October 23 November 21 For ages it’s been clear a frank discussion about certain tricky issues was in order. Yet somehow this hasn’t happened. While this week will offer a number of appropriate times or situations you’ll still need to bring these up. Much as you’re dreading it, actually raising them will prove surprisingly easy. Sagittarius November 22 December 20

The Full Moon is about energy and brings both feelings and the actual situations you’re dealing with to a head. And what’s more, because the current one accents who and what you care about most the issues in question will require time, thought and in some cases considerable patience. It will however be worth it. Capricorn December 21 January 18

Only now are you beginning to recognise the potential in recent unsettling if not unwelcome changes. The problem is because these were triggered by an aspect to the unpredictable Uranus events would have been so sudden you had no idea what to think. However to your surprise they’re turning out brilliantly. Aquarius January 19 February 17

It’s not the new ideas being discussed that worry you. The problem is the abrupt changes these would trigger in your already somewhat overwhelming routine. While that’s understandable there’s only one way to deal with these and it’s by plunging in. Once you do, amazingly everything else will make sense. Pisces February 18 March 19

Being a sensitive water sign you’re usually cautious about what you say to others especially if the issue could be contentious. However the matters you’re dealing with now demand a far more forthright approach. Bear this in mind yourself and equally be sure everybody understands that being completely frank is essential.
