Aries March 20 April 18

It’s an exciting and busy time for you, so much that you’re struggling to keep tract of events. While, ordinarily, this would be wise, judging by the planetary setup for the next few days, you’re probably better off allowing things to unfold in whatever way they do. You’ll soon see how wise this was.

Taurus April 19 May 19

Not only are you contending with uncertain arrangements, you’re questioning your own priorities. That’s as it should be. Your circumstances are changing as are your priorities, so obviously your thoughts about plans for the future must be reviewed. The trick? It’s to do exactly what you want, and consider every option, familiar and less so.

Gemini May 20 June 19

Usually you’re happy for an exchange of ideas to be exactly that, you and others discussing various options. However, one particular individual seems to feel their job is to turn those discussions into a brainstorming session that will result in a single, lasting, decision. Let them. Then once that’s over, return to your own discussions.

Cancer June 20 July 21

Few things are as satisfying as corralling tricky matters and equally uncooperative individuals and turning what are currently only promising ideas into worthwhile plans. True, the success you have in mind may take a while to achieve. Despite that, once you begin, it will be clear you’re on the right track.

Leo July 22 August 21

Periods of swift and, often, radical change, such as you’re going through can be unsettling. So much so, you’ll try to minimise the extent of those changes. However, your instincts are correctly telling you, the more willing you are to take a chance, the more you’ll benefit. If in doubt, go for it.

Virgo

August 22 September 21

As a Virgo, you’re both inquisitive and cautious, which means that when you’re making arrangements, you’re often better informed than others. This seems to be the case now. Still, certain individuals regard themselves as knowledgeable. Listen to their suggestions. Discuss their ideas but then do whatever you think is best.

Libra September 22 October 21

Only days ago, you’d have been hesitant about even discussing plans, present or future, with one particular individual. This has nothing to do with the plans and everything to do with the often impossible attitude of the individual in question. However, they’ve learnt their lesson, and will be amazingly cooperative.

Scorpio October 22 November 20

Currently good fortune is coming your way, and in a range of forms. Appealing as this is, you’re still wary. That’s mostly because the control freak side of your nature would prefer to shape both the nature and the timing of events. While that’s understandable, you’re encouraged to adopt an uncharacteristically easygoing attitude.

Sagittarius November 21 December 20

Although you’re probably not feeling patient at the moment, if you can manage to do and say the minimum for the next few days, unexpected events could resolve issues you fear could turn into troublesome dramas. The problem is others’ misunderstood certain matters. Leave it to them to untangle that confusion. They will.

Capricorn December 21 January 19

The last thing you’re interested in doing is rethinking, if not entirely changing, arrangements that are as promising as they were challenging to put together. Yet recent events or ideas offer so much you really can’t ignore them. For now, focus on that. Once you learn more, you can think about changes.

Aquarius January 20 February 18

Only days ago, you were debating the pros and cons of certain intriguing but complex arrangements. As an inquisitive Aquarius, you’re always willing to explore something of this nature, if only to learn more about the idea behind it. Be cautious of others assuming you’ve committed, which could well be the case.

Pisces February 19 March 19

For ages you’ve meant to address a persistent issue involving somebody who’s selfish all the time, but recently has put their needs first and completely ignored those of others, including you. If you do speak up, forget about explaining the problem. Simply say what you expect from them, nothing more.
