STAR GAZING
Aries March 20 April 19
Although every sign is influenced by Mercury’s retrograde cycle and so will be relieved it’s coming to a conclusion you’ve learnt a lot from the recent one. While you’re well aware of certain insights others will surface only after things have settled down. But even now you’re experiencing the benefits from it.
Taurus April 20 May 20
Appealing and perhaps worthwhile as certain business or financial ideas are you’re concerned others will get involved without asking the right questions. First ask yourself whether this involves your position, property or finances. If so address this issue frankly. If not, for now, ask them how much research they’ve done then back off.
Gemini May 21 June 20
It’s rare you consider this. However there’s a distinct difference between a plan you think will work and a final plan, that is one that’s meant to be lasting. With so much in transition even simple arrangements are unlikely to last so had best be regarded as a bit of an experiment.
Cancer June 21 July 21
Difficult as it is to watch others make mistakes, ones that could be costly in terms of time, money or their reputation there’s only so much you can say. And if you’ve expressed those concerns clearly you’ve no choice but to back off. Certain people can only learn from their own mistakes.
Leo July 22 August 22
Standing your ground is one thing and at the moment is especially important. Of as great significance is having the strength of convictions necessary to stick with what you’ve decided without reviewing, still less discussing, plans with others. Explain what’s behind the conclusions you’ve reached calmly and without inviting debate.
Virgo August 23 September 22
Tempting as it is to point out the potential problems in plans you’ve made with others they’ve brushed off your advice. The fact is they’re not nearly as practical as you and tend to tackle such matters when they arise, not before. What’s more these aren’t yours to deal with. Busy yourself elsewhere.
Libra September 23 October 22
As a logical air sign you think through every option before committing to even the simplest of plans. Still, with so much in transition even you are unlikely to have envisioned some of what’s coming your way. However these are by no means the last of these surprises. There are lots more to come.
Scorpio October 23 November 21
There have been so many times in the past when you’ve kept your own feelings under wraps mostly because you didn’t want to upset others only to discover this gave them the impression you don’t care. Now do the reverse. Tell them what you feel and at length and in detail.
Sagittarius November 22 December 20
Every sign is influenced by Mercury’s retrograde cycle which began on November 17 and is ending now. However because it’s been in your sign for much of this period and returns to Sagittarius on the 12th unexpected events and sudden developments will raise questions about arrangements you’ve regarded as unchanging.
Capricorn December 21 January 19
You can decline an offer so gently others wonder if you really mean it. Lately however you’ve felt the need to be forthright if not just plain blunt. With so much unsettled at the moment this is no time to be easygoing. Being firm is really the only way to deal with such matters.
Aquarius January 20 February 17
Every sign is influenced by the current New Moon and its accompanying fresh perspective. For you however the resulting insights are pivotal as they’re shedding light on a persistent and perplexing issue with one particular individual. Once you recognise that quite simply they’re lying to you everything else will make sense.
Pisces February 18 March 19
With so much in transition it’s easy to get hung up on decisions for today, tomorrow and the coming week. While these are important the actual foundation on which these are based is shifting which means you’ll need to rethink them often. Knowing that, focus on ensuring plans are flexible rather than perfect.
