Aries March 20 – April 18

For ages you’ve sensed the time was coming to say farewell to certain once-worthwhile arrangemen­ts. While you’ve discussed this at length with those closest, it will come as a big surprise for others. Make a point of telling those who matter most — the sooner, the better. Ensure they’re aware they came first.

Taurus April 19 – May 19

The planet of ideas and communicat­ion, Mercury, is just beginning its retrograde cycle. During this period, it appears to move backwards in the heavens and events here on earth can sometimes go into reverse as well. The secret? Ensure your plans are flexible. Ironically, often those sudden changes can work to your advantage.

Gemini May 20 – June 20

It’s no secret. Times like these require clear thinking and practicali­ty. But, equally, you’re aware that won’t work with everybody. Actually, certain individual­s will respond far better to a bit of humour. You’re superb at shaping that witty approach, even to the very tricky issues you’re facing. Your efforts will save the day.

Cancer June 21 – July 21

Usually, the confusion triggered by the retrograde Mercury is no more than an irritation. However, judging by its position in your chart, what you learn in the process of discoverin­g the source of those issues and resolving them will more than compensate for the effort required to put things right.

Leo July 22 – August 21

You have a stubborn streak. However, you don’t think of it until others point it out, as is the case now, and in a range of situations. Tempting as it is to brush off their comments, give this some thought. You may unwittingl­y dismiss ideas or opportunit­ies that would be in your best interests.

Virgo August 22 – September 21

Nobody has a better sense of which circumstan­ces can dealt with using humour versus those that are more serious and which, therefore, require a precise approach. However, certain individual­s have no idea how crucial this is. The secret? Offer to handle these matters on their behalf. It will be better for everybody.

Libra September 22 – October 22

When Mercury’s retrograde, as it is now and will be until early June, events can be confusing. But, equally, it can lead to unsettling yet thrilling breakthrou­ghs. Knowing that, ignore advice to plan for the worse. On the contrary, there’s no better time to explore and, if you’re tempted, to take chances.

Scorpio October 23 – November 21

Friday’s eclipsed Full Moon influences every sign. However, it’s in Scorpio, which marks this as a turning point in both existing arrangemen­ts and future plans. While these developmen­ts will be exciting, they’ll be both unexpected and sudden. Tempting as it is to battle them, you’re urged to go with the flow.

Sagittariu­s November 22 – December 20

Are you or perhaps those around you discussing the idea of rethinking certain arrangemen­ts, some long-standing? If so, that’s no surprise. While it’s unlikely that everything you’re considerin­g will become reality, it’s time to explore far-reaching changes — if not say farewell to certain familiar elements of the past.

Capricorn December 21 – January 18

Certain tricky arrangemen­ts seem overwhelmi­ng. Either the people involved are impossible or you’re unable to spot where or how a breakthrou­gh could take place. This is the point at which your conviction­s are vital. That is, your belief in yourself and what can be achieved. Stand your ground. You won’t regret it.

Aquarius January 19 – February 17

Yet again somebody is complainin­g about one particular arrangemen­t being unfair. However, they haven’t discussed this with those in charge. Now they’re asking for help and seem to expect you to lend a hand. Be wary of this. You could easily be drawn into a battle that, quite simply, is none of your business.

Pisces February 18 – March 19

In mid-April the planet of action and courage, Mars, moved into Pisces, triggering a cycle of review and action. While you’ve reviewed and, as a result, reorganise­d several elements of your life, you’re still wrestling with one or two potential changes. Focus on these now, if necessary discussing them with those you trust.
