STAR GAZING
Aries March 20 April 18
Every once in a while, you get caught trying to please somebody who, whatever you do or say, will never be happy. The real problem is that they enjoy complaining. The setting or situation makes no difference, there’ll always be a problem. While you can’t cut them out of your life, you can politely but firmly ignore them.
Taurus April 19 May 19
It’s not that you distrust others but that, in certain situations, they don’t know as much as they think they do. However, that doesn’t mean they’re ready to hear your advice. The secret? Ask what they’d suggest, then gradually broaden that discussion into an exchange of ideas. Once that begins, things will get exciting.
Gemini May 20 June 19
Others are complaining about how constant changes in the circumstances you’re dealing with are forcing you to rethink plans frequently. The problem? From your perspective, the process of gathering information and turning it into plans is exciting. However, others aren’t in the least inquisitive, so want nothing more than a final decision.
Cancer June 20 July 21
Certain individuals won’t even think of discussing a plan unless there are facts enough to result in a lasting arrangement. While you can understand their impatience, the foundation on which those plans are based is shifting, which means even the simplest of arrangements really must be regarded as a trial run.
Leo July 22 August 21
Planning ahead may be a virtue. But as the past few days’ events have made clear, even simple arrangements are likely to change, and change again. As a creative fire sign, you’re brilliant at thinking on your feet. The challenge? Those who want detailed plans. Say they’ll get them, but not right away.
Virgo August 22 September 21
You’re only just beginning to realise that one particular individual hasn’t just been manipulating you, but they’ve tricked others into taking responsibility in matters that are theirs, and theirs alone, to deal with. The solution? Simply walk away, and without an explanation of any kind or making excuses. They’ll know you’ve spotted the facts.
Libra September 22 October 21
If you’re one of those rare Libras who has a talent for keeping track of life’s practicalities, from what you owe to others to your financial accounts, you’ll know exactly what to say to those who’re suddenly making demands. If not, you’ll ask them for the facts, and won’t be in the least embarrassed.
Scorpio October 22 November 20
Only days ago, you were defending the increasingly unpredictable behaviour of somebody who, usually, is as discreet as they are reliable. Now that you know more about the difficulties they’ve been facing, not only do you have a better understanding of their antics, you’ll be wondering what you can do to help.
Sagittarius November 21 December 20
Certain individuals are dear to your heart. However, every once in a while your views differ, and to such an extent that you question whether it’s worth bothering to talk things over. The solution? Back off for a day or two. And, equally, make a point of sidestepping those explosive issues. That’s all.
Capricorn December 21 January 19
For ages you’ve been trying to find a way around certain increasingly tricky issues. However, your instincts are currently telling you these not only won’t vanish, but they’ll need your attention, and soon. Overwhelming as they seem, once you begin, you’ll realise just how much you’re learning from them.
Aquarius January 20 February 18
Being an air sign, you’ve a knack for delving deeply into certain matters and, if necessary, looking into the workings of somebody’s mind. That is, you’ll spot what they’re hiding and why. The next step? Getting them to open up about the matters in question. It won’t be easy but you can do it.
Pisces February 19 March 19
Every once in a while you need to stop and do nothing. Every Pisces needs to pause. To take time to get away from the dramas going on in the wider world. But, even more, it’s time to reflect on recent developments and, especially, the joys that have come your way.
