STAR GAZING

Aries

March 20 April 18

You’re only just realising that what seemed straightforward arrangements only days ago are far more complicated than you anticipated. While you could do the minimum and deal with issues as and when they surface, you’re well aware how risky this strategy is. Tackle these now. You’ll soon be glad you did.

Taurus

April 19 May 19

Ages ago, you promised yourself and, possibly others, that you’d do your best to keep certain arrangements as they have been for ages. Obviously, this was based more on sentimentality than hard facts. Now that those circumstances are changing, a top to bottom rethink is inevitable. Explain that there’s no choice.

Gemini

May 20 June 19

Certain well-meaning individuals are urging you to be cautious about plans or commitments you’re currently making. They fear you’re committing to more than you can reasonably expect to do. Possibly. However, the only way you find out is by giving it a try. Once you have, the rest will be much clearer.

Cancer

June 20 July 21

Every once in a while, you forget that certain otherwise agreeable individuals seem to enjoy upsetting others or causing disarray in carefully crafted arrangements that involve others. However, this has little to do with you. That being the case, resist the temptation to suggest a solution. Quietly, and firmly, back off.

Leo

July 22 August 21

Because you think and move swiftly, when you make plans or commitments, you check things out thoroughly before you take things to the next stage. Despite that, confusion is inevitable. The trick? Since changes are unavoidable, ensure whatever you organise is flexible enough that, should arrangements need to be rethought, you can do it easily.

Virgo

August 22 September 21

Sooner or later you’ll have to extricate yourself from an increasingly tricky arrangement. Your intention wasn’t to remain involved for long but, rather, to show your support for others. You’ve done that. The individuals in question can most definitely cope on their own. You can now withdraw, and without feeling guilty.

Libra

September 22 October 21

Be aware that, usually, when others complain, it’s because one particular situation or, possibly, individual is bothering them. Now, however, the individual in question may be grumpy because they don’t know how to spot, and appreciate, life’s joys. Spend a little time with them exploring this. It will do wonders.

Scorpio

October 22 November 20

As a cautious and thorough Scorpio, you rarely commit to plans or a person without serious investigation. Now, the actual foundation on which your life, those of others’ and the actual arrangements in question are shifting. While you could wait until things are calmer, plunge in. You’ll soon realise how wise this was.

Sagittarius

November 21 December 20

Certain promises you made weren’t that long ago and, equally, they weren’t that complex. Still, recent events have turned everything upside down, which means a top to bottom rethink. While, initially, this will seem a nuisance, within days you’ll realise how important what you’re learning is, for now and the future.

Capricorn

December 21 January 19

Ordinarily you think carefully before making plans, so once things are organised, you can turn your attention elsewhere. But as you’ve undoubtedly noticed, at the moment things are a lot more complicated. The trick? It’s to explore every idea or offer, if only to learn from it. Decisions? They can and should wait.

Aquarius

January 20 February 18

The time has come to say farewell to a habit that once brought you, and family or friends, joy and pleasure. However, times have changed and this is about to become history. Tempting as it is to stick with what’s familiar, go with the flow. Others have some unexpectedly delightful options in mind.

Pisces

February 19 March 19

Not only are most Pisceans highly intuitive, because of that, you’re often able to understand the issues others are struggling with, and better than they do themselves. Now, however, you’re urged to be wary. You could easily slip from knowing what needs to be done to shouldering responsibility for the matters in question.
