Aries March 20 April 18
For weeks you’ve sidestepping certain obligations, mostly because they’ll be as tedious as they are drawn out. The problem? The longer you wait, the more complex those tricky matters will become. Tackle them now and you’ll be free for the extraordinary events promised by the current and coming planetary activity.
Taurus April 19 May 19
As somebody ruled by the charming Venus, you’re a talent for winning others over to your way of thinking, and without even a battle. However, certain situations are becoming so tricky that talking things over isn’t just important, it’s inevitable. Prepare to discuss these frankly. When looking back, you’ll be glad you did.
Gemini May 20 June 19
You don’t think of yourself as being sentimental and, mostly, you’re not. However, your feelings about one or two arrangements or, possibly, individuals are so intense they make up for the rest. While, often, these can be challenging, the ways you benefit and joys you experience justify a few compromises.
Cancer June 20 July 21
The time has come to say farewell to certain once-reassuring arrangements. You’ve long sensed they were a drain on your time, money and possibly your heart, but lacked an alternative. Now not only is that coming your way, what arises will be far better and, equally, more exciting than you imagined possible.
Leo July 22 August 21
For ages you’ve been trying to break away from an arrangement that was once amazingly rewarding but which has become increasingly troublesome. While disentangling yourself may be your best option, it’s worth examining the issue, then discussing it with somebody who you trust. The answer may be simpler than you imagine.
Virgo August 22 September 21
Not only are you super careful about making commitments to others, you also try to be aware that those around you aren’t always as careful about the details. That’s especially the case now. Knowing that, you’ll regard plans as tentative until they’re actually taking place. You’ll soon realise how wise that was.
Libra September 22 October 21
Few things upset you more than the discovery that you’ve no choice but to disappoint somebody, even if the situation isn’t your fault or responsibility. The fact is, you and the rest of the world are in a period of ultimately rewarding, but unsettling, change. And those disappointments are a small part of it.
Scorpio October 22 November 20
Sometimes obstacles are no more than a difficulty to be overcome. However, judging by the current and coming weeks’ planetary focus on certain issues you’ve been reluctant even to mention, it’s about defining these clearly to yourself. Once that’s done, you’re urged to talk things over with others, and the sooner, the better.
Sagittarius November 21 December 20
You’re beginning to notice that while certain individuals insist plans or ideas need to be turned into action, and soon, they’re short of facts. Actually, with ideas planet Mercury retrograde from Monday the 27th, errors are likely anyway. The secret? Proceed, aware that frequent and, at times, dramatic changes are inevitable.
Capricorn December 21 January 19
Obviously, you prefer plans proceed as intended. However, you also rather enjoy the kind of challenges that force you to devise a creative solution. Now it’s the reverse. Unexpected ideas or offers are so good you’re wary. Despite those doubts, you’ll soon discover that things really are just as good as they seem.
Aquarius January 20 February 18
For ages you’ve known that certain elements of your life are in the midst of far-reaching change, but that not everybody understands or supports these. The problem? The time’s come to tell them about those plans. Do exactly that. Inform them what you intend to do, then firmly change the subject.
Pisces February 19 March 19
Good luck is in the air. While you’ve already recognised the potential of events, certain individuals are unwilling to take a chance until there’s proof. Don’t argue. Simply procced with the assumption they’ll soon catch on, and realise that if they don’t move swiftly, they’ll miss all those golden opportunities.
