Aries March 20 April 18

As an Aries, you live life to the full. You thrive on action and enjoy getting as much done as possible. However, there’ve been times in the past when you were moving so swiftly you didn’t realise you needed a break. It’s the same now. Stop, get your breath, and restore your energy.

Taurus April 19 May 19

Only days ago, you wondered why certain individuals were complaining about the current unsettled mood. At the time you’d managed to avoid trying to make joint decisions or planning with more than one person. Now that you’ve experienced the impact of this unsettled period, you fully understand the source of their complaints.

Gemini May 20 June 19

For you, as a Gemini, one of life’s joys is meeting somebody interesting and, even better, an individual who knows about things you don’t. Not only is this likely now, the odds are good the time spent with them, and your conversations, will add to your life, and in unexpected yet wonderful ways.

Cancer June 20 July 21

Planning ahead may be wise and, better yet, ensure you know what to expect. However, judging by the coming week’s thrilling planetary activity, much of which will be as unanticipated as it is thrilling, the more flexible your thinking and your arrangements, the better. For now, keep an open-mind. You’ll soon learn why.

Leo

July 22 August 21

Only days ago, you’d have sworn you’d never raise, still less discuss, certain complicated issues. Then events themselves cornered you into doing exactly that. While, initially, you dreaded these exchanges, once you began talking openly with others, you realised they were far better informed than you imagined. The rest will be easy.

Virgo

August 22 September 21

This is a tricky periods. While everybody has strong views about what’s best, the foundation on which those plans are based is shifting, and far more dramatically than anyone anticipated. While, obviously, this is sudden and unsettling, be patient. When you’re looking back, you’ll regard those changes as timely breakthroughs.

Libra

September 22 October 21

After weeks of sidestepping certain tricky financial or business issues, they’ll not only take centre stage, you’ll find yourself discussing them with unexpected enthusiasm. The change? It’s that you’re now benefitting from the informed enthusiasm of one particular individual. They’re clarifying what needs to be done, and the best approach to take.

Scorpio

October 22 November 20

Only days ago, you’d have refused to even discuss certain changes. You’ve enjoyed the stability that various elements of your life have brought in the midst of struggles. Now, however, you’re beginning to recognise these were part of the problem. That, alone, will free you. The more swiftly you move, the better.

Sagittarius

November 21 December 20

Usually you’re easygoing about changes in plans, even those that are sudden or unsettling. Yet at the moment you’re a bit on edge. Worse, things are so unsettled you’re unsure what tomorrow or next week will bring. Stick with the adage that says to live one day at a time. Never was it more meaningful.

Capricorn

December 21 January 19

The last thing you want is to upset anybody. However, recent events have made it impossible to keep certain promises that you know meant a lot to others. Explain, then apologise, and with exactly those words. But, of even greater importance, ensure others know that those promises won’t be forgotten.

Aquarius

January 20 February 18

Nothing and nobody is more unhappy than a bored Aquarius. Yet you’re stuck in a situation that’s as tedious as it is unchanging. The real problem? You’re struggling with the loss of your freedom to explore, something vital to you, as an Aquarius. That will return, and sooner than you think.

Pisces

February 19 March 19

You could easily be swept away by others’ dramas. However, these truly are theirs to resolve. Not only is their lack of attention to certain tricky issues the cause, if you take over, they won’t recognise their role in causing these problems, so be able to avoid them in the future.
