STAR GAZING
Aries March 20 April 18
It would be no surprise if certain existing arrangements and, equally, plans you’re discussing are interesting but lack the kind of excitement you thrive on. Still, since there’s no avoiding these, you’re urged to tackle them soon, and in the detail required. That, too, may be tedious but as you’ll discover, it’s vital.
Taurus April 19 May 19
As a Taurus, you have a strong constitution. Still, you need breaks and, when you can, to rest properly. At the moment, that’s easier said than done. However, if you can’t escape and truly relax, you can disappear for long enough that at minimum, you’re able to restore your sense of wellbeing.
Gemini May 20 June 19
While, obviously, honesty is a virtue, that doesn’t mean it’s wise to speak your mind about already contentious issues. True, some need to be discussed frankly, which means compromise really isn’t possible. But others are less crucial. This which means that, for now anyway, you can either sidestep details or avoid them
Cancer June 20 July 21
The last thing you want to do is upset anybody. Yet if you’re going to cut through the half-truths that are preventing frank discussion of increasingly tricky issues, a certain amount of drama is inevitable. Actually, others will be so relieved that everybody’ being frank, they’ll focus entirely on their feelings of relief.
Leo July 22 August 21
When you’re inspired by an idea or inspired by the potential outcome, you tend to sidestep either pointless details or those that can be dealt with later. While, mostly, that approach works, at the moment it’s likely to lead to serious complications. Tackle those details the moment they arise. You won’t regret it.
Virgo
August 22 September 21
Few signs are adept as you are at spotting a worthwhile idea or exciting opportunity. However, you sometimes investigate so thoroughly that by the time you decide it’s worth pursuing, it’s too late. Out of character as plunging in may be, it’s the best way to both gather facts and ensure it doesn’t vanish.
Libra September 22 October 21
The communication planet Mercury is retrograde until 10 March. While there’s a tendency to blame every unexpected event or problem on it, judging by the tricky aspects involving your ruler Venus, you’ll be facing a range of personal, and as yet resolved, issues of your own. These are far more urgent.
Scorpio October 22 November 20
This is one of those complex periods during which listening carefully to what others say could be more informative than getting answers to what seem to be pressing questions. True, this means allowing conversations to wander, possibly in a seemingly pointless direction. Soon, however, you’ll realise how crucial what’s being discussed is.
Sagittarius November 21 December 20
Last Sunday, the courageous Mars moved to join practical Saturn, the uncompromising Pluto and your own ruling planet Jupiter in the part of your chart that accents life’s practicalities. While what you’re dealing with may be dull, you’ll profit from it, and in amazing ways. That justifies being bored while you tackle this.
Capricorn December 21 January 19
As an earth sign, and somebody ruled by the cautious Saturn, you rarely make changes without reflecting on the past and, especially, similar circumstances. Usually, that’s wise. But at the moment it could actually prevent you from taking advantage of ideas or offers so new they’ve no connection whatsoever with the past.
Aquarius January 20 February 18
Ordinarily, you’re confident enough about your capacity for decision making that, other than for practical reasons, you rarely seek others’ guidance. Now, however, you’re in new and very unfamiliar territory. And, wisely, you’re looking for somebody who’s not only knowledgeable enough to give that guidance, but where necessary, will challenge your thinking.
Pisces February 19 March 19
Usually, when somebody needs help, you’ll be there with both ideas and, if necessary, ready to lend a hand. Now, however, your instincts are telling you that the problems of one particular individual are theirs, and theirs alone, to deal with. Ideally, you’ll steer clear until they’ve dealt with things themselves.
