STAR GAZING
Aries March 20 April 18
You were both upset by unfair events and, equally, annoyed that those who could have been helpful weren’t. You may not be feeling patient. Still, wait and watch. Within days you’ll realise you were short of facts and, actually, those who so irritated you were right, and had your best interests in mind.
Taurus April 19 May 19
Just when you thought life was getting a bit calmer, yet another exciting but unsettling event is shaking things up. Understandably, at the moment, you’re unsure what to do. The trick? For now, make a point of exploring absolutely everything. Decisions? They can wait until the dust settles, later this month.
Gemini May 20 June 19
This hardly seems the right time to step back from an arrangement you’ve regarded as reliable. While, at one point, that was true, circumstances have changed, and so have you. Possibly more than you realise. The secret? Take it slowly. And, ideally, ask somebody you trust to guide you in the process.
Cancer June 20 July 21
Certain individuals can be moody, if not seriously difficult. especially if they feel they’ve been mistreated. Now, however, it’s you who’s struggling with those feelings. Obviously you’re eager to move past them. Forget about apologies. Simply say you’re sure others will be as eager to make these part of the past as you are.
Leo July 22 August 21
Caring deeply about others is one thing. However, being willing to put up with the increasingly irritating attitude of certain individuals, despite your feelings for them, is quite another matter. If discussions are getting you nowhere, simply back off. The resulting time and space isn’t just important, it could make a huge difference.
Virgo August 22 September 21
If you’re into astrology, you may already be aware that, on Tuesday the 10th, your ruler Mercury begins its retrograde cycle, when it appears to move backwards in the heavens, triggering confusion here on earth. While it’s often unsettling, what you learn when untangling the resulting misunderstandings more than justifies the effort required.
Libra September 22 October 21
For ages you’ve been trying to figure out a discreet way to disentangle yourself from a once-rewarding arrangement. Time has passed and circumstances have changed, but nothing has changed with the matter in question remains as it was. The secret? Discuss those changes frankly. Others are more eager to make them than you think.
Scorpio October 22 November 20
It’s not that you’re unforgiving, as some say. It’s just you’ve learnt from experience that, whatever you say, certain individuals will put themselves first. And that can cause other problems. Think about it. You’ve done the same. Discuss this frankly. Once you’re talking, you’ll realise how similar your thinking is.
Sagittarius November 21 December 20
Since the beginning of the year, your ruler Jupiter’s position has focused on a range of important but dull family and domestic matters. This meant dealing with them was more about discipline that excitement. Consequently, you’ll be thrilled to learn that on Tuesday, Jupiter is moving to accent love and life’s joys.
Capricorn December 21 January 19
Nobody is better at spotting something that’s promising, whether it’s an idea or a potential alliance. Whatever the case, you’ve a remarkable track record for making the best of these. Now, however, you’re unsure if not anxious. That’s because this isn’t about life’s practicalities, that is, these touch your feelings.
Aquarius January 20 February 18
You’re a good listener. Or you are when the individual speaking is interesting. At the moment, however, you’re dealing with tedious situations and the variety of people that come with them. Tempting as it is to cut any discussions short, listen carefully. Their grip on those dull details is far better than yours.
Pisces February 19 March 19
Several individuals are struggling with a range of issues, some minor, others more complex. However, the matters in question are similar, and as a result, you’ve far-reaching ideas for potential remedies. Discuss these, but keep in mind that with Mercury retrograde from next Tuesday, unexpected developments could mean rethinking those plans, possibly overnight.
