Aries March 20 April 19

Few things are more exasperati­ng to you as a quick-thinking Aries than dealing with those who take ages to make a decision. Still, you need their support so must wait. Instead of getting irritated, ask what their concerns are and why. Not only will this be distractin­g you’ll also learn a lot.

Taurus April 20 May 20

While you may be more familiar with Mercury’s retrograde cycle in early October your ruler Venus began moving backwards in the heavens. This particular period isn’t about errors as much as it prompts questions about both habits and longstandi­ng beliefs some of which you’ve changed. A few remain. It’s worth reviewing them.

Gemini May 21 June 20

As much as you enjoy a lively exchange of ideas an out and out fight is something else entirely, especially if it upsets others. Yet increasing­ly you feel the need to stand your ground with one particular individual. Do exactly that. Tell them what’s acceptable and what isn’t and stop there.

Cancer June 21 July 21

Nobody would blame you for being sensitive about certain situations you thought were going well but which suddenly are being criticised. For now wait and watch. Judging by the current unsettled planetary setup someone is using this as an excuse to create a drama, one that has nothing to do with you.

Leo July 22 August 22

For ages you’ve been thinking that certain elements of your domestic or working life would benefit from being rethought, but haven’t achieved much. However the recent New Moon accented these matters and shifted your perspectiv­e on these. To an extent that at last you know exactly what you want to do.

Virgo August 23 September 22

Informativ­e as recent discussion­s about certain tricky issues were you’re sure that potential solutions were ignored. Be patient. By the time of the powerful Full Moon late next week the mood will have become much more inquisitiv­e. Ask those same questions then and you’ll get far more constructi­ve answers. The misunderst­andings you’re dealing with, and there are several, all involve situations where you were tactful rather than truthful. At the time of course this seemed the best option. Since then however certain facts have surfaced. As a result it’s vital you update those involved on what’s what and in detail.

Libra September 23 October 22

As you begin this week the odds are good you’ll still be reflecting on the insights triggered by the recent powerful Scorpio New Moon. While on one hand this clarified several existing issues it also raised questions about new appealing but also somewhat unsettling arrangemen­ts. Wait and watch. You’ve lots left to learn.

Scorpio October 23 November 21

Last week your ruler Jupiter which moves into a new position only once a year entered Sagittariu­s. This begins a new cycle, one that will be as fortunate as often events will be unexpected. That being the case ensure you explore absolutely every idea or offer. What seems least likely could turn out best.

Sagittariu­s November 22 December 20

Planning ahead may enable you to get a lot done, often more than others. But with so many planets moving into new positions and the resulting change if not chaos the more flexible arrangemen­ts and equally your thinking are the better. Also explore every option. What seems least promising could be brilliant.

Capricorn December 21 January 19

Neither change nor the most unexpected of developmen­ts bother you. In fact from your perspectiv­e they keep life interestin­g. Still, the return by your ruling planet Uranus to its previous position and to accent your views could seem unsettling. Soon however you’ll realise you’ve lots to say and it’s time to speak out.

Aquarius January 20 February 17

Often the events triggered by powerful and positive planetary alliances such as the recent link between the Sun and your ruler Neptune are immediatel­y apparent. While some of what’s arisen may be due to that, other even better developmen­ts are on their way. Be on the lookout for them and respond swiftly.
