Aries March 20 April 18

The one characteristic you’ll need over the next few days is patience. This isn’t merely because things aren’t moving as swiftly as you’d like. But, even more, the individuals you’re dealing with are in an annoyingly indecisive mood. Still, their support is vital, which means you must invest time in winning them over.

Taurus April 19 May 19

After having been so enthusiastic yourself about certain future plans and, better yet, shared those upbeat feelings with others, the setbacks you’re facing are really disappointing. Instead of becoming disenchanted and giving up, you’re urged to regard these as inspiration to seek another option or even a completely different

Gemini May 20 June 20

As an inquisitive Gemini and an air sign, not only are you always exploring new ideas, from your perspective, plans are meant to evolve, if not change dramatically. However, not everybody agrees, as you’re about to discover. Discuss your ideas in detail, and you’ll win over even those who’re most concerned.

Cancer June 21 July 21

You’re busily reviewing a range of plans. But in several situations those included others and, certain of those individuals have their own ideas about how things should be done. Get them involved now, which includes giving them all the facts. They’ll soon be overwhelmed and, as a result, will lose interest.

Leo July 22 August 21

One of the reasons you’re hesitant about taking certain plans to the next stage is you fear the chaos changes would cause in your personal, domestic or working life. Yet things really do need to be done differently. What’s more, once you begin, you’ll realise how timely, and easy, these would be.

Virgo August 22 September 21

Judging by the series of powerful alliances between several planets and Uranus, which is all about the unexpected and breakthroughs, changes are inevitable. While some have been in the air, so will be no surprise, others will be completely unexpected. Ironically, those that are most disruptive could be best in the long run.

Libra September 22 October 22

This is one of those wonderful but strange times during which changes arise suddenly, and are as thrilling as they are unanticipated. Consequently, while you must plan ahead, you’re urged to ensure those plans are flexible enough that as those amazing developments arise, you’re in a position to say yes.

Scorpio October 23 November 21

Last Tuesday, the 10th, the planet of growth, opportunity and just plain good fortune, Jupiter, moved into Scorpio, for a year. Yes, that means stunning ideas and offers. But what turns out best in the long run could be least expected. That being the case, say no to nothing, at least initially.

Sagittarius November 22 December 20

Life would be much easier if you could make a single plan, take action, get things done and move on to whatever is next. But as you’re discovering now, the pace has changed and so, too, must your approach to certain existing arrangements and, as well, to those you’re currently organising.

Capricorn December 21 January 18

Perhaps your greatest strengths, as a Capricorn, is your capacity to stick with what, or who, you’ve committed to. Yet even when you’re deeply involved in a plan or project, or possibly a personal passion, occasionally, it’s wise to back off. To get some space. This is exactly what’s needed now.

Aquarius January 19 February 17

As an air sign, you’ve an instinctive understanding that certain plans, projects and, especially, relationships simply take time to grow. Yet in one particular situation you’re on edge, and seeking some form of guarantee. You can ask, but deep down you know that’s unrealistic. Being patient won’t be easy, but it’s the only solution.

Pisces February 18 March 19

Often those who’re struggling will ask for help, in the form of support, ideas or they’ll make you feel it’s your job to boost their spirits. None of this is true, which means you could be acting out of guilt. This isn’t unusual for you, as a Pisces, and worth thinking about.
