STAR GAZING
Aries March 20 April 19
It’s the rare Aries who worries about ensuring others see things as you do. In fact you find differing views can bring about stimulating discussions and worthwhile new ideas. Better yet the resulting brainstorming could lead to solutions for tricky problems you thought you’d just have to live with.
Taurus April 20 May 20
Somebody seems to regard themselves not only as an expert on certain matters, they’re convinced you’ll want their advice. While obviously you’ll listen to what they have to say actually taking their advice is quite another matter. Make it clear now from the outset that decisions are up to you.
Gemini May 21 June 20
True, your independent streak can be an asset. However it can also mean that even when you need help it doesn’t occur to you to ask. Equally you refuse offers of assistance, but don’t realise it. And with so much going on you’d benefit from exactly that variety of support. Just ask.
Cancer June 21 July 21
Often the best thing you can do for somebody who’s struggling is listen. Nothing more. Still, at the moment you’re being asked to give advice as well. It’s risky. Back out by saying you’d like to reflect then don’t mention it again. Listening isn’t just best it really is all you can do.
Leo July 22 August 22
When you agreed to one particular plan it was because the individual in question needed a hand and you thought you could be helpful. Since then you’ve realised things are far more complex than anybody realised. Tempting as it is to continue, reflect on it. This battle really isn’t yours to fight.
Virgo August 23 September 22
The last thing you’re in the mood for is one of those discussions that begins cordially but swiftly descends into debates about who’s right and who’s wrong. However in one particular situation these issues can’t be ignored. Knowing that, arm yourself with the facts and be ready to stand up for them.
Libra September 23 October 22
World-renowned astrologer Shelley von Strunckel writes a daily column exclusively for tabloid! As a Libra you’ve a talent for turning a seemingly casual conversation into a constructive discussion even regarding serious matters. Then you’ll need to be patient. First this involves several individuals each of whom has their own ideas, what’s best, but even more the circumstances in question are shifting and frequently.
Scorpio October 23 November 21
While you’ve no fear of standing up to somebody when the circumstance merits you’d rather deal with tricky situations in a more peaceable manner. However the individuals in question think more clearly when their reasoning is challenged. Consequently if you want a lasting arrangement you’re better off adopting a confrontational approach.
Sagittarius November 22 December 20
Developments may be as exciting as they are sudden, but that doesn’t mean you should act on them right away. Judging by the current planetary set-up either you’re short of facts or things aren’t as they seem. Still if these appear promising show your interest but without actually making a commitment.
Capricorn December 21 January 19
Recent issues weren’t just tricky, you couldn’t possibly be fair to everybody. While some accepted this others are still complaining and a few are causing problems. Explain again and again if necessary. While they’ve a right to complain they still have to face the facts which is they can’t have things their way.
Aquarius January 20 February 17
Usually when facing a decision you’ll gather the facts, review your priorities then opt for what’s best. But with so many options and equally circumstances in transition a clear-cut decision simply isn’t possible. Actually that’s best. This is no time to finalise anything. The more flexible your arrangements are the better.
Pisces February 18 March 19
Appealing as the idea of resolving certain persistent issues once and for all may be, judging by next week’s dramatic planetary activity changes are inevitable. Knowing that, organise things the way you hope they’ll go but ensure they’re flexible. That way should those changes arise which seems likely they’ll be easy to make.
