STAR GAZING

Aries March 20 April 19

Recently you’ve teamed up with others to put numerous issues to rest. Obviously it’s a relief. However one particular individual insists those issues be reviewed point by point and wants you to take part. As much as you dislike the idea get involved. Once there’s been progress you can quietly withdraw.

Taurus April 20 May 20

Disturbing as recent issues over practical matters have been they’ve also triggered a worthwhile exchange of ideas. This hasn’t just forced you to consider reorganising increasingly troublesome arrangements. What you’ve learnt has altered your perspective so much you’re considering options you’d have once rejected.

Gemini May 21 June 20

Nobody is better at making it seem you’re being open and forthright with others when in fact you’re carefully sidestepping potentially troublesome issues. Still you’re urged to be cautious what you say because certain individuals will be focusing on every word and could try to turn what you say to their advantage.

Cancer June 21 July 21

Tempting as it is to battle for what you know is both wise and right take a few minutes to check your facts. The circumstances in question have changed recently far more than you realise. What you learn won’t just be informative it could lead to a substantial rethink of existing arrangements and future plans.

Leo July 22 August 22

When you first discussed certain already complex plans you sidestepped details you knew would result in lengthy discussions and as a result delays. While that was wise at the time these details are now crucial and need attention. Raise these, suggesting what you think best. Others are likely to agree and without argument.

Virgo August 23 September 22

Few things upset a Virgo more than being told they’ve got their facts wrong or worse have deliberately misrepresented the facts. However this could happen to you. Before you react, double-check both what you’ve said and equally the situation in question. Sudden developments could have changed everything possibly overnight.

Libra September 23 October 22

Having been born under what is perhaps the most understanding sign of the zodiac you’ve a talent for overlooking others’ shortcomings. While this is a virtue at the moment you’ll need to confront somebody about their antics and soon. What’s more you’ll need be far more blunt than is your habit.

Scorpio October 23 November 21

Sometimes minor disputes are exactly that, issues that can be talked through in a few minutes. However certain seeming simple matters are far more complex than you realise. Be prepared for this and when they arise, instead of trying to deal with them swiftly you’ll give them whatever time they take.

Sagittarius November 22 December 20

As exciting as certain ideas, plans or offers seemed last week, now that you’re actually organising them you’re overwhelmed. And not having much fun. Still, persist. Once you’ve managed to get all these tedious details behind you what’s left will be the variety of creative activities and inventiveness you really enjoy.

Capricorn December 21 January 19

There are few things more uncomfortable if not embarrassing than catching somebody in a lie. You can’t really ask if they intended to be deceptive. Still, you want the facts. Judging by the current link between Mercury and the truthful Pluto which is positioned in Capricorn if you’re patient you’ll get those facts.

Aquarius January 20 February 17

What began as a frank if not an aggressive discussion only a few days ago hasn’t just changed. It’s turned into an unexpectedly worthwhile exploration of ideas, one you’re enjoying. What’s most amazing is that in the past you’ve dismissed the subject as dull. It’s increasingly clear that’s by no means the case.

Pisces February 18 March 19

For ages you’ve managed to sidestep certain contentious topics. While in the past that’s been a relief, with the actual circumstances in question changing you’ll need to discuss these matters frankly. Worrying as that seems, once you’re actually talking things over you’ll realise that they’re far less complicated than you feared.
