Aries March 20 – April 18 Ordinarily your enthusiasm is an asset. Recently, however, you’ve been so excited by events you’ve ignored what seemed minor details to get things going. Except you’re now discoverin­g just how important those details are. Delve into them now, before you do anything else. You’ll soon learn why this is so important.

Taurus April 19 – May 19 Living with uncertaint­y is no fun. However, tempting as it is to make a single, lasting arrangemen­t, with so much in flux you’d soon regret it. The trick is to consider every option that intrigues you and begin narrowing your focus, but still ensure you can make any changes you think wise.

Gemini May 20 – June 20 You seldom think of it, but when you’ve decided to get something done, you’re amazingly determined. If one plan doesn’t work, you’ll come up with another until something works. Even then, you’ll rethink things as you proceed. This creativity is one of your greatest gifts as a Gemini.

Cancer June 21 – July 21 Long ago you realised that certain individual­s are so egotistica­l that, unless you praise their abilities beforehand, they’ll simply ignore any request. Annoying as this is, within days certain seemingly minor issues will turn into major problems for them and for you. The solution? Begin flattering them now. You’ll be glad you did.

Leo July 22 – August 21 You don’t think of it until you’re dealing with somebody who’s lacking imaginatio­n or who has no sense of humour, but these aren’t just helpful when you’re facing seriously challengin­g matters, they enable you to let go of tensions. This is also why it’s vital you check in with friends from time to time.

Virgo August 22 – September 21

Usually you’ve a clear sense of what needs to be discussed versus what’s unimportan­t. But now it’s others who are insisting certain matters are pressing. While you simply can’t see it, let them say what they regard as so urgent. At minimum, they’ll be happy. And they may just be right.

Libra September 22 – October 22 Dealing with somebody who isn’t just in the wrong but who delights in the upset and inconvenie­nces they’re causing others is challengin­g. Tempting as it is to tell them off, their antics are all about getting attention. Give them exactly that, but in the form of loving support and, bizarrely, approval. It will do wonders. 0904 470 1147 (65p per minute)*

Scorpio October 23 – November 21 Every once in a while your instincts tell you that, whatever others say, it’s wise to ignore their words. That’s because they’re either in a tricky mood or have their facts wrong. For now, say you’ll think about it. Then gently but firmly change the subject to something lighter. They’ll soon thank you.

Sagittariu­s November 22 – December 20 Recently you managed to avoid discussion­s you feared would be as tedious as they were long and drawn out. While that’s true, this is inevitable, it’s also what makes them important. The details you’re focusing on aren’t just important, they’ll enable you to review and rethink your own priorities.

Capricorn December 21 – January 18

You’ve probably noticed you’re in a period that’s about declutteri­ng your life. This refers to needless possession­s, but has as much to do with distractin­g issues and unresolved tensions with others. While getting rid of stuff is easy, resolving those issues could take time and thought. If so, your efforts will be more than justified. 0904 470 1150 (65p per minute)*

Aquarius January 19 – February 18

For ages you’ve managed to sidestep what you’ve feared would be an open conflict with one particular­ly aggressive individual. However, things have reached the point at which you must either go along with their ideas or take a stance. The latter could end those plans. If so, it’s no loss.

Pisces February 18 – March 19

One particular­ly troublesom­e individual has a technique for silencing the objections of others, including what you say. That is, bizarrely, they say you’re lacking a sense of humour. Obviously, what’s upsetting you has nothing to do with that. The solution? Speak frankly and be blunt in a way that you never before have been. 0904 470 1152 (65p per minute)*
