STAR GAZING
Aries March 20 April 18
It’s not that you’re being secretive. The real problem is the tendency of certain individuals to assume that, when talking over ideas, you’ll want their suggestions. While, in the past, you’ve listened, then proceeded, while ignoring their ideas, this time that won’t work. Avoiding them, and discussions, is your only option.
Taurus April 19 May 19
Leaving pressing matters undecided may be worrying and, in some situations, unwise. However, with the communication planet Mercury retrograde, and triggering confusion both in the matters in question but others, as well, you’ll have to assess what’s what. The more you learn, the more you’ll realise you also need to review others’ priorities.
Gemini May 20 June 19
Because of your far-reaching curiosity, what begins as a discussion about one particular idea can move on to another, and yet others. While ordinarily that wouldn’t matter, with so much on your mind, you could unwittingly commit to plans for one activity when, if fact, you were thinking about something else entirely.
Cancer June 20 July 21
For some time you’ve sensed one particular individual was being secretive. But the question is about what, and whether those matters involve you. Recently, asking would have been impossible. However, the mood is sufficiently improved that not only are such questions a good idea, the resulting discussions will be unexpected cordial.
Leo July 22 August 21
Over the past few days you’ve invested a lot of time in discussing, and dealing with, matters of concern to others. While you’ve been glad to help, certain issues of your own are increasingly in need of attention. These come next. Be aware, however, you’d best seek assistance with these elsewhere.
Virgo
August 22 September 21
Misunderstandings aren’t just normal when your ruler Mercury is retrograde. They serve a purpose. They help you spot mistakes from the past and current errors before they turn into serious problems. Knowing that, regard this as a treasure hunt, in which every error you uncover, past or present, eliminates a potential problem.
Libra September 22 October 21
The line between making plans you regard as more of an experiment than anything else, and those that are tentative isn’t clear. But then, with so much in transition, trying to settle on a lasting arrangement is probably overly optimistic. The trick is to ensure both your thinking and your ideas are flexible.
Scorpio October 22 November 20
Few things are more upsetting than discovering somebody has been discussing plans in half-truths. That is, while they haven’t actually lied, they’ve left out vital facts. Disillusioning as that is, instead of withdrawing to worry or brood, ask exactly what others have in mind. Their response will be a surprise and a relief.
Sagittarius November 21 December 20
Although the New Moon actually took place last Sunday, you’re only now benefitting from certain exciting, if complex, insights that arose in conversations at that time. While, ordinarily, you’ll tackle these right away, they merit the time, thought and discussion you’re giving them. You’ll turn those ideas into plans, but not right away.
Capricorn December 21 January 19
Obviously life is easier if you can plan ahead, both setting goals and knowing what variety of challenges you’ll be facing and when. However, judging by the powerful planetary activity over the coming month or so, including your ruler Saturn’s move into a new position, even simple plans should be regarded as tentative.
Aquarius January 20 February 18
Every once in a while, even the most carefully organised of plans hits a wall. Not only is that, in certain arrangements, the problems you’re facing constitute a lesson in strategic thinking. That being the case, back off and explore your ideas with those who can help you learn to restrategise.
Pisces February 19 March 19
Recently there’s been talk of reorganising elements of your life you regard as settled, so in no need of change. What’s more, you’re concerned these would upset others and, worse, mean rethinking certain familiar arrangements. That’s the point. These have remained the same for so long, they’re preventing exploring timely new ideas.
