STAR GAZING

Aries March 20 April 18

It would be no surprise if you’re not only struggling to get things organised, everytime you think you have the big picture, the actual circumstances you’re dealing with change. This may be frustrating but it’s also forcing you to explore options that, otherwise, you’d have ignored. For now, focus on exploration.

Taurus April 19 May 19

Soon you’ll be facing a series of situations, each of which will involve a pivotal decision. Tempting as it is to explore your options with others, the swift pace will prevent even brief discussions. Actually, that’s for the best. If ever there was a time to trust your instincts, it’s now.

Gemini May 20 June 19

A series of recent discussions weren’t just interesting, they made you realise your instinctive distrust of one particular individual wasn’t your imagination. You’re right. It’s just others were anxious about revealing the full facts. And it’s true, that achieves little. The solution? Steer clear of the individual in question.

Cancer June 20 July 21

It’s not that you’ve been keeping secrets. Rather, you’ve known certain facts would upset others, so avoided even mentioning them. While at other times that would have been wise, note frank discussion isn’t just important, it’s vital you talk things over every day, and that you be as forthright as possible.

Leo July 22 August 21

For ages you’ve struggled to keep certain arrangements going, partly because they’re important, but just as much, you’ve a sentimental attachment to the people involved. Yet now a rethink isn’t only necessary, it’s vital. Times have changed and so, too, must certain longstanding elements of these arrangements. It’s all about

Virgo August 22 September 21

After a week of twists and turns, you’re feeling overwhelmed. However, others are asking about your plans for arrangements and activities currently being discussed. The secret? Focus on exactly that, discussion. And if you make plans, regard them as an experiment from which you’ll learn a lot, not something that’s meant to last forever.

Libra September 22 October 21

For ages you’ve put off having a serious, if not frank, conversation with those individuals who have a talent for turning even simple events into unsettling dramas. True, the presence of fiery Mars in Libra boosts your courage. Still, be aware, they’re rambunctious by nature. That simply can’t be changed.

Scorpio October 22 November 20

Now that you’ve had a few days to reflect on the changes in circumstances triggered by the recent New Moon, you’re beginning to recognise that what seemed pointless disruptions were actually breakthroughs. Continue to explore. As you do, you’ll realise there’s lots more left to discover.

Sagittarius November 21 December 20

By no means are you secretive. Yet you’d sometimes avoid mentioning what you’re currently doing or future plans because of the lengthy explanations others will expect from you. While this is understandable, sooner or later they’ll need to know. The secret? Reveal the facts slowly, as if it were a mystery unfolding.

Capricorn December 21 January 19

For ages you’ve kept one particularly tricky arrangement going, partly out of loyalty, but also because there are times when you’ve given, and received, remarkable support. That could well be the case now. The problem? With so much changing so swiftly, plans must be based more on instinct than on logic.

Aquarius January 20 February 18

Being a clever air sign, you’ve a talent for discussing even very tricky matters, and asking penetrating questions but without upsetting anybody. Now it’s the reverse. What you learn from discussing certain seriously perplexing situations with others will both broaden your horizons and, better yet, could result in a solution for ongoing issues.

Pisces February 19 March 19

Initially you assumed minor misunderstandings could be dealt with easily. However, you’re recognising you underestimated the stubborn nature of the individual involved. They truly believe that they’re never wrong. The secret? Focus on one situation at a time, ideally one that involves unarguable facts. Gradually, you’ll make progress, possibly more than you expected.
