Aries March 20 April 19

It’s the rare Aries who’s happy dealing with tedious details. Tempting as it is to ignore these deep down you know that if you put them off they’ll only require more time and be less interesting. Bizarrely, once you’re actually involved and getting things done you’ll realise how much you’re learning from them.

Taurus April 20 May 20

Ordinarily you’d find a diplomatic way around minor but persistent issues. But while others aren’t concerned you find these increasingly worrying. Say that now then back off. Within days the attitude of others will change and change again until gradually they too agree that it’s time that something be done.

Gemini May 21 June 20

Only days ago you were feeling pleased with the fact you’d managed to get through certain potentially tricky situations without much drama. Then suddenly several minor issues turned into potentially serious upsets. But they needn’t be disastrous. The sooner you deal with them the less of a problem they’re likely to be.

Cancer June 21 July 21

There’s a fine line between making decisions that influence everybody and seeking their agreement at least at the time. The pace is so swift that discussion about this or other matters simply isn’t possible. Eventually you can talk things over. But for now everybody has to be a little more flexible than usual.

Leo July 22 August 22

Although every sign will benefit, the encounter on Monday between the fortunate Jupiter and your ruler the Sun will be bring a range of joys your way. While some will be no surprise a few will be so completely unanticipated that initially at least you won’t know what to think.

Virgo August 23 September 22

During periods as unsettling and occasionally disruptive as this one is it’s easy to misinterpret the shorttempered mood of others as irritation with you or criticism of what you’ve done or even your efforts on their behalf. Not only is it normal the odds are good you’re a bit on edge yourself.

Libra September 23 October 22

Watching an arrangement you’ve worked hard to organise come undone is no fun. However within a few days you’ll realise what’s going is clearing the way for the remarkable events, ideas or offers being ushered in by stunning alliances by the Sun and Mercury to the planet of good fortune Jupiter.

Scorpio October 23 November 21

You regard yourself as strong. However as a sensitive water sign at your deepest core you’re both easily touched and easily hurt especially by those who’re thoughtless or unkind. While you rarely discuss this try talking this over with certain of the individuals in question. You’ll both learn a lot.

Sagittarius November 22 December 20

Every sign is influenced by the current Full Moon. However the fact it’s accenting close alliances suggests that certain minor tensions are blowing up into major clashes . Actually that’s good. You’ve long known something would have to be done. It’s time you recognised these need attention and discuss them frankly and openly.

Capricorn December 21 January 19

Usually you’re firm about editing unworkable ideas and time-wasting alliances out of your life. Yet one or two have remained and worse are devouring your time and perhaps rousing unsettling or vulnerable feelings. Before eliminating these consider what you have to learn from them. The resulting insights could be amazing.

Aquarius January 20 February 17

You’re in a period of discovery. However if you’re to learn about and explore certain new ideas or options you’ll need to rethink others. Some have been part of your life for so long you can’t imagine a day without them. Yet in truth they’re a drain on your time, money or heart.

Pisces February 18 March 19

One particular individual has said they’re so sensitive they can’t even discuss certain tricky issues. And so others have been tiptoeing around them. Actually they’ve been very clever because this approach has turned everybody else including you into their servants. They’re not just tough, they’ve been clever enough to fool everybody including you.
