Aries March 20 April 19

No matter how sure you are of the facts and even more how confident you are about the plans you’ve organised you’re in for a few surprises. While some may be unsettling if not a nuisance others will delight you. What’s most important is that in every case these developments will be timely breakthroughs.

Taurus April 20 May 20

Clear-cut as both circumstances and your plans may seem to be life’s unlikely to be that simple. In fact with both the Sun and your ruler Venus challenging Uranus, the planet of innovation and the unexpected, twists and turns are inevitable. The more flexible your arrangements are therefore the better.

Gemini May 21 June 20

As concerned as you are about the situations others are facing or their plans, certain matters of your own need attention as well. In fact what you learn from dealing with these could prove helpful in issues of your own that currently seem minor but which in a short time will take centre stage.

Cancer June 21 July 21

Sooner or later you’ll have to battle out differences with certain already tricky individuals. While the issue in question has been on your mind, your instincts have been to wait and watch. Trust those feelings. There’ll be several more incidents before the time is right to talk things over.

Leo July 22 August 22

Having made a huge effort to lend a hand to one particular individual you’ve been expecting at least a thank you. But there’s been nothing. Strange as it seems ask about this. The odds are good somebody else has taken credit for your efforts and is benefiting from the resulting unearned, gratitude.

Virgo August 23 September 22

A few days ago you made the mistake of being diplomatic in a situation where clearly one particular individual was being dishonest if not just plain lying. While understandably you were reluctant to say exactly that, there’s still time to question the accuracy of their words. And the sooner you do it the better.

Libra September 23 October 22

For ages you’ve been sidestepping one particularly tricky issue knowing that once you raised it you’d have to see things through to the end. Now that events have forced this out in the open and you’ve realised others are equally anxious you’re far less concerned about being cornered into making unworkable arrangements.

Scorpio October 23 November 21

The New Moon was a few days ago, but because it accented the most reflective portion of your chart only now are you spotting the intriguing options and exciting ideas it triggered. Tempting as it is to mull these over, with the swift pace you’re better off plunging in and finalising things later.

Sagittarius November 22 December 20

As a Sagittarius and a fire sign you’ve a knack for spotting which tedious details need careful attention versus those that you can deal with swiftly or even ignore. At the moment however things aren’t quite that simple. Certain matters are more crucial than they seem. Knowing that, tackle everything with care.

Capricorn December 21 January 19

Sometimes disagreements are no more than that, a difference of opinion. Currently however the issues in question are far more important than they seem. While those crucial facts won’t be immediately apparent, with a little serious investigation you’ll spot them. Once you’ve recognised them and their significance you’ll know what to do.

Aquarius January 20 February 17

Judging by the influence of the Full Moon on Wednesday the 24th and the accompanying planetary activity dramatic changes are inevitable. Should you make any decisions this week therefore regard them as tentative. And even more when you make the changes necessitated by next week’s events be ready for a few dramas.

Pisces February 18 March 19

If your instincts are telling you that after a period that’s demanded a great deal of patience things are about to get going, that’s true. That begins on November 15 when the powerhouse planet Mars moves into Pisces. Until then review those plans that aren’t working and consider which in truth should go.
