Aries March 20 April 19

Accepting the fact that a range of decisions is now in the hands of others may irritate you. But think again. While you’ve put off tackling several of these because they’re dull, as many will be time-consuming yet have little impact. Think of them in those terms and letting go will be easy.

Taurus April 20 May 20

It’s not that you don’t trust others to make decisions as much as in certain situations you’ve had to discuss several matters point by point which has been exasperating if not time consuming. Don’t give up. Actually judging by your ruler Venus’ shift to accent decisions you’ll have far more to say.

Gemini May 21 June 20

Sometimes the confusion triggered by Mercury’s retrograde cycle is nothing more than that. However judging by the planetary setup those errors could expose the efforts of certain individuals to keep important matters to themselves. Ironically those minor mistakes could force the individuals in question to reveal everything.

Cancer June 21 July 21

Despite your efforts to untangle recent misunderstandings little has been accomplished. The real issue is that you care far more about this than others. Doing nothing may seem unwise. But if you can leave things untouched until problems become a serious nuisance you’ll force those who’ve been lazy to take action.

Leo July 22 August 22

Although the powerful eclipsed New Moon in Leo isn’t until Saturday you may already be feeling restless if not ready for bigtime changes. That’s because it’s an eclipse, the third of a series, so is about shakeups in the world around you, but even more breakthroughs in your own thinking.

Virgo August 23 September 22

If you’re still battling plans you regard as pointless or which you fear will lead to unwise activities think again. True you’re amazing at assessing such matters. Still, even you sometimes resist timely change with such fury you regard it as unwise if not dangerous. That could be the case now.

Libra September 23 October 22

After weeks of handling big egos tactfully and manoeuvring around pseudo-experts the tide has turned. Since early July your ruler Venus has been in the most strategic portion of your chart, thus the need for caution. Now that it’s in Libra you can speak frankly and are in fact in charge.

Scorpio October 23 November 21

As a determined Scorpio no matter how overwhelming tricky situations seem, deep down you know you’ll find a way to deal with them, one that everybody else is happy with, but which importantly suits you. Still, at the moment you’re unsure about certain matters. Be patient. These will work out, but in time.

Sagittarius November 22 December 20

Don’t be surprised if carefully organised arrangements or promising plans come undone. This is far more about this week’s disarray than what you’ve organised. On the other hand with so much in transition you may be better off keeping things flexible. That way you’ll easily accommodate all of those surprises.

Capricorn December 21 January 19

Judging by the tricky planetary activity of the past week or so even the simplest of plans are unlikely to have proceeded as you anticipated. Bear in mind however that with Mercury retrograde until the 19th changes are probable and they could occur more than once. The solution? Keep plans loose.

Aquarius January 20 February 17

Tempting as it is to try to figure out how misunderstandings occurred or where certain arrangements went wrong the less thought you give to these matters now the better. In time the actual facts will surface. But with so much in transition it’s unlikely you’ll learn anything of use now.

Pisces February 18 March 19

The problem isn’t that somebody was dishonest. You’ve told white lies often enough. But your intention was to prevent hurting the feelings of others while this was all about taking advantage of others and it’s now clear you. Even more, to the individual in question this is normal. Remember that.
