Aries March 20 April 19

Most Aries have been described as fearless. While that’s flattering the odds are good that you’re so anxious about one particular matter that you wish you could be exactly that, fearless. Discuss your concerns openly and especially seek others’ advice. You’ll learn a lot and could gain welcome and timely insights.

Taurus April 20 May 20

Usually planning ahead is a virtue. But with the powerful Taurus Full Moon taking place on the 24th and triggering changes in both circumstances and your perspective even simple plans are unlikely to remain as you first conceived them. That being the case the more flexible any arrangements are the better.

Gemini May 21 June 20

0rdindarly you’ve a talent for anticipating obstacles and finding a way around them before they cause serious problems. But with so much going on around you and in your own life there’s no way you can keep up with everything. That being the case make a point of asking others to update you.

Cancer June 21 July 21

It may be obvious to you that in certain situations changes are not just wise they’re inevitable. But not everybody sees things that way. Suggest this once, but say no more. The actual situation is far more complex than you realise and will go through several complicated twists and turns before anything is settled.

Leo July 22 August 22

It’s not that you mind clashes with family over tricky issues. On the contrary in some cases they’ll do wonders to clear the air. However with everybody on edge already even minor flare-ups could turn into major dramas. Knowing that, it’s probably best that you put off even mentioning those tricky issues.

Virgo August 23 September 22

Judging by the series of tricky planetary aspects being formed by your ruler Mercury during the past few days and next week even seemingly logical arrangements won’t last as they were first organised. Knowing that waste no time struggling to get things absolutely right. Actually you’re better off regarding all arrangements as tentative.

Libra September 23 October 22

Not only is there no polite way to confront others, one particular individual would regard a gracious approach as an indication of weakness. While you needn’t be overtly tough you’re urged to take a stance that makes it clear you know what you want and intend to have things your way.

Scorpio October 23 November 21

Mostly you react to setbacks as a challenge. These encourage you to review your own thinking and be more open-mined about others’ suggestions. This may slow the pace. Still what you discuss and the resulting insights will make up for lost time and could lead to consequences beyond anything you imagined possible.

Sagittarius November 22 December 20

There’s no wrong way to show somebody you care although certain difficult individuals aren’t necessarily good at showing how pleased they are. Say what you have to say or make that generous or loving gesture for the sheer joy of it. If they respond positively, terrific. If not know it’s still appreciated.

Capricorn December 21 January 19

As much as you dislike committing to a plan or making an agreement without knowing the details, with things moving so swiftly you’d no choice. Actually this is for the best. For now focus on the big picture. With so much in transition you’d have to rethink those details possibly more than once.

Aquarius January 20 February 17

With the dynamic Mars, planet of action, courage and endeavour having been in Aquarius twice this year, this time until mid-November, life’s been full of exciting experiences and intriguing options. While you’ll have to make decisions sooner or later you’re better off waiting until later this year when your options are clearer.

Pisces February 18 March 19

Every Pisces has experienced discussing a plan or idea for the future only to be told it’s completely unrealistic. Hopefully you’ve learnt to ignore those who’re so lacking in imagination they must dismiss the vision of others. That’s especially important now as certain of your dreams are on the verge of becoming reality.
