STAR GAZING

Aries March 20 April 19

Change is in the air and while, initially, you were unenthusiastic, now you are. So much so, in fact, that when things start moving swiftly, you’ll be delighted. Tempting as it is to decide the outcome you want now, go with the flow. The results will be better than you imagined possible.

Taurus April 20 May 20

After a bumpy period in certain already tense relationships, you assumed things were finally settled. They are, but the fact is, with circumstances shifting there’s bound to be yet more disruption. Once you realise this is normal and might even prove to be worthwhile, instead of battling changes, you’ll embrace them.

Gemini May 21 June 20

Since there would have been no escaping the hard facts revealed by the recent link between your ruler Mercury and the uncompromisingly truthful Pluto, everybody’s wondering when you’re going to tackle the matters in question. Do so now, if you can. If not, delve into issues you’re unclear about, then take action.

Cancer June 21 July 21

The Sun’s move into your sign on the 21st has lifted your spirits and made it easier to focus on certain increasingly pressing matters. While you’re relaxed about most, a few are urgent. Or so it seems. Delve into this and you’ll realise that urgency is based on others’ needs, not your requirements.

Leo July 22 August 22

Acknowledging you’re at a disadvantage isn’t easy for any Leo. But with your ruler the Sun in the most strategic portion of your chart and clashing with demanding Saturn on Wednesday, you’re urged to play it cool. While out of character, this will avoid pointless dramas and, on reflection, also be stunningly informative.

Virgo August 23 September 22

Inspiring as recent discussions were, you’re still wary about committing to anything without hard facts. While that’s logical and, as a Virgo, would make sense to you, things are moving too swiftly for that variety of reassurance. Instead, get involved, and learn as events proceed. It’s faster and will be easier, as well.

Libra September 23 October 22

It would be easy to mistake the misunderstandings, if not out and out clashes, over the past several weeks as evidence of their being serious problems. On the contrary, this was about breakthroughs, in both issues and in tricky situations involving others. Tackle them slowly and with Libra tact, and you’ll resolve them all.

Scorpio October 23 November 21

Usually, you’re the first to spot issues that need to be dealt with, if not discussed. The irony is, while you noticed tensions growing regarding certain matters a few days ago, you didn’t regard them as pressing. Now you realise they are, and that it’s vital you get others involved right away.

Sagittarius November 22 December 20

Frustrating as recent obstacles were, looking back, you’re now realising they forced you to face tricky issues you’ve been ignoring. What’s more, if you’ve already dealt with them, then you’ll be prepared, both in terms of facts and your arrangements, to move swiftly when the coming week’s stunning offers come your way.

Capricorn December 21 January 19

Ordinarily minor irritations are best dealt with swiftly. If they’re unexpectedly complicated, they can still be sorted out on the spot, and become history. But judging by the influence of Thursday’s emotionally intense Capricorn Full Moon, today’s seemingly simple issues will require more time and, perhaps, patience than you’d have imagined.

Aquarius January 20 February 17

As much of an achievement as recent discussions and the resulting agreements may have been, they were still a compromise. So now that the opportunity has arisen to revisit these, it won’t just be worthwhile, it could result in a far better outcome. At minimum, you’ll find you’ve more options to consider.

Pisces February 18 March 19

Recent frank discussions were by no means easy. Yet the fact you were finally talking over persistent issues was such a relief that you didn’t mind having to navigate a minefield of obstacles and emotions. Still, this isn’t the end. There’ll need to be several more such discussions before everything’s resolved. Dr discussions.
