Aries March 20 April 19
As much as you enjoy working closely with others from family and friends to colleagues, because you think and act more swiftly you’re usually in charge of decisions and details. However with your ruler Mars accenting joint ventures that’s exactly what you’re facing, the need to go along with what others decide.
Taurus April 20 May 20
Understandably you’d rather deal with the contentious issues currently facing you without tensions turning into actual dramas. However judging by the coming days’ planetary activity you may have no choice. In truth it would be better if everybody aired their feelings then once that’s dealt with you can seek a lasting resolution.
Gemini May 21 June 20
For ages you’ve known you’d have to deal with certain tedious obligations or boring details, but something has always come first. Now that these are pressing you’ve realised you’re also short of facts. Happily certain individuals aren’t just interested in these matters they’re experts. Ask them for guidance.
Cancer June 21 July 21
Disruptive as sudden changes in plans may be, what’s next promises to be as exciting as it will be unsettling at least in the short term. Still, deep down you’ve been aware these are exactly what your life has needed. While you’re unclear where they’re going your instincts say they’re in your best interest.
Leo July 22 August 22
It may seem ages from now. But once you understand it’s unlikely you have the facts you need to make lasting decisions about pivotal domestic or professional matters until later in the month you’ll stop worrying and will instead continue to explore. What you learn will be interesting now and valuable then.
Virgo August 23 September 22
Judging by the position of your ruler Mercury which has been accenting practical and financial matters you’ve invested considerable time in reorganising your life. While as a Virgo you rather enjoy such pursuits even you need a break. Now that this cycle is over you’ll get it. Relax. You deserve it.
Libra September 23 October 22
For ages you’ve been tolerant of the bad behaviour of one particular individual partly because it wasn’t that disruptive, but also their antics amused you. However circumstances have changed and the individual in question is becoming more annoying by the day which means it’s time to say enough is enough.
Scorpio October 23 November 21
You’re only just now beginning to realise that what you regarded as difficult situations were in large part because of your unwillingness to discuss certain changes. While you’ve good reason to view these as unsettling, at the same time they’re not only timely they’re inevitable. Delve into them. That will explain everything.
Sagittarius November 22 December 20
Of the 12 signs you have the greatest tendency to be bored which is the reason you actually enjoy unexpected changes even if they’re sudden or disruptive. But not everybody feels the same way which could be a problem. The fact is this is all about exploration. Decisions can and should wait.
Capricorn December 21 January 19
Don’t be surprised if the influence of this particular New Moon is both powerful and lasting. Because it accents both close relationships, personal and those out in the world and equally is highlighting personal matters that need thought you’ll be weighing up your options for several days if not the weeks to come.
Aquarius January 20 February 17
In mid-September the forthright Mars moved into Aquarius, its second visit this year. This began a cycle of powerful, restless self-examination. While you’ll already have made a few dramatic changes it remains in your sign until November 15 which suggests there are many exciting options and thrilling offers yet to come.
Pisces February 18 March 19
It’s happened before and it will again, but that doesn’t make it any easier. Somebody you’ve trusted has disappointed you. While you could raise this the odds are slim the individual in question will understand why you’re upset. The solution? It’s to acknowledge that others simply don’t share your values or priorities.
