Aries March 20 April 18

Annoying as last-minute changes in plans are, you really have no choice. While, obviously, these will slow your pace, tackle them now and what’s needed won’t be that complicated. Put things off, and you’ll have to deal with the building pressure and situations that are becoming more complicated by the day.

Taurus April 19 May 19

Usually, when you’ve differences with others, a combination of patient discussion and a willingness to be flexible does the trick. But the ideas being proposed are so far out that you can’t imagine how they’d work. Trust those who’ve made these suggestions. The individuals in question know what they’re talking about.

Gemini May 20 June 20

For ages you’ve been trying to find a solution for issues that once seemed minor but which, over time, have become increasingly bothersome. The actual problem is very different from what you imagine. Be patient. Others are eager to talk things over. But before that happens, they must wrestle with these themselves.

Cancer June 21 July 21

Long ago you realised that certain people simply are completely unaware of their own intuition and, still less, would trust those feelings in making decisions. Yet that’s exactly what you’re about to do. Tempting as it is to try to explain, you’ll only confuse them and end up frustrated yourself. The less you say, the better.

Leo July 22 August 21

It may seem you’ve all the time in the world to deal with certain tedious dilemmas. Once that was true. But you’ve put off tackling these for so long that they’re now pressing. If you don’t take fast action, others will be forced to. And probably without discussing their intentions with you.

Virgo August 22 September 21

When you first decided to sidestep certain matters, it was because they seemed unimportant, at least compared to certain other topics that are very much on your mind. Yet recent, and unexpected, developments have changed all that. As a result, a serious review of the matters in question now is your priority.

Libra September 22 October 22

The mood isn’t just about to improve. With both your ruler Venus and, on Saturday, the Sun moving into your fellow air sign of Aquarius and to accent life’s pleasures, you’re about to get a break from certain relentless issues. And once you do tackle them, they’ll be far less complicated than before.

Scorpio October 23 November 21

Don’t be surprised if, over the coming week or so, you find yourself explaining your thinking regarding various situations or even defending certain decisions. This may sound worrying but, in truth, others will be eager to learn more, especially about both the facts and your own views, on which those decisions were based.

Sagittarius November 22 December 20

Usually you deftly sidestep, if not ignore, the manipulative approach of one particular individual to life in general, and especially, their dealings with you. This is mostly because you steer clear of formal arrangements. Now you’ve no choice. Decide what’s non-negotiable, stick to that, and as to the rest, say nothing.

Capricorn December 21 January 18

Long ago you decided to keep certain facts to yourself, either because you felt others would misunderstand the nature of the situations in question or, alternatively, you regarded them as nobody’s business than your own. Then, that was OK. Now, however, it’s not. Discuss these frankly, and the sooner, the better.

Aquarius January 19 February 17

Although the powerful Aquarius eclipsed New Moon is in a month’s time, it’s worth thinking about the kind of changes you’d like to see, in your own life and the world around you. While you can’t control the actual events, focus on changes and by the eclipse, you’ll already have got things going.

Pisces February 18 March 19

By no means are you a control freak. Still, when it comes to handling delicate matters, you can’t help but be aware that not everybody is as conscious of the feelings involved as you are. Still, discuss the issues in question now, since certain individuals are aware of important facts you’ve somehow missed.
