STAR GAZING

Aries March 20 April 19

Tempting as it is to ignore the dull practical matters that everybody is discussing and debating these aren’t just important, the resulting decisions will have a huge impact on the way you live or work. Once you’re actually talking things over you’ll realise how much you can learn from the resulting exchange of ideas that follows.

Taurus April 20 May 20

As a Taurus and an earth sign, when organising plans you consider every potential option you can think of and try to deal with it in advance. Even then you’re unlikely to have anticipated the coming days’ thrilling if unsettling events. Explore them. Once you’ve learnt more you’ll decide they’re worth the bother.

Gemini May 21 June 20

After a period of facing important but unrelentingly dull business, practical or financial issues things are finally settled. Or at least they are to the extent you can now escape and explore the far more interesting ideas and get to know the intriguing people who’ve been on your mind for ages.

Cancer June 21 July 21

Ordinarily facts are exactly that, facts. However with three recent eclipses shaking things up the foundation on which even simple everyday arrangements are based has shifted. Which means when making even straightforward arrangements you may need to pause and consider whether there are any recent changes you’ll need to investigate and deal with.

Leo July 22 August 22

Tempting as it is to sidestep potentially unsettling matters the longer you put off those conversations the more complicated the actual discussions will be. Don’t worry about gathering all the facts beforehand. Initially the overall picture is all that matters. Those details that are so worrying can be dealt with later.

Virgo August 23 September 22

Eventually you’ll have to address one particular situation in which somebody you trusted has disappointed you if not caused serious problems. Bizarrely you’re worried mentioning this will be upsetting. But they let you down. Not only should you ask why, it’s appropriate. And equally that you ask how they’ll make up for it.

Libra September 23 October 22

Now that your ruler Venus has moved into the portion of your chart that accents practical and financial matters the time has come to address these. In some cases this is merely about making a decision. But in a few you’ll be reviewing your priorities and considering your options, some in great depth.

Scorpio October 23 November 21

The last thing you’re in the mood for is discussions regarding issues you struggle to face up to on your own. Yet say nothing and things will only get worse. What’s more once you’re actually delving into these you’ll realise that with some serious investigation simple solutions exist. They just need to be found.

Sagittarius November 22 December 20

As a fire sign and somebody who prefers to discuss even difficult matters frankly than tiptoe around the facts you’re facing a very tricky situation. If you’re too frank there’ll definitely be problems. Yet hiding troublesome issues seems dishonest. You can discuss these and in depth. Just not now.

Capricorn December 21 January 19

Sooner or later you’ll have to tackle differences with certain individuals. These aren’t that serious but remain a source of concern. True, with things moving so swiftly this isn’t the ideal moment. However when the mood’s calmer in a week or so you’ll be able to talk things over and without pressure.

Aquarius January 20 February 17

For ages you’ve been annoyed by the quirks of certain individuals, but they’ve never been so bad you’ve felt the need to say something. However either you’re spending more time with them or the issue is more pronounced. Which means it’s wise to discuss this. Be frank. The response you get will surprise you.

Pisces February 18 March 19

For ages you’ve been dreading that moment when you’d have to refuse one particular individual who generally ignores it when they’re told something simply isn’t possible. They think only of themselves and don’t understand why their demands would inconvenience anybody. Forget about explanations. Simply say the single word ‘no’.
