Aries (March 20 – April 19)

There’s a fine line between loyalty, which is extremely important to you, and battles that are going nowhere. Judging by the planetary activity between now and August’s, you’ll be given an opportunity to relinquish these without drama. You can take it or continue with those familiar struggles.

Taurus (April 20 – May 20)

It’s worth bearing in mind that with your ruler Venus not only retrograde but also accenting family matters, it might be time to revisit certain unspoken issues. Long ago you decided there was little point in raising these but times have changed and so have everybody’s feelings. Discussions could be worthwhile.

Gemini (May 21 – June 20)

Somebody has a talent for making others feeling guilty, and lately they have targeted you. Suddenly you have found yourself offering to do things for them, then later regretting it. While there’s little you can say, as they’ll always wiggle out of such conversations, you can keep your distance. It’s the only solution.

Cancer (June 21 – July 22)

Even the most adventuresome of Cancerians, and there are many, dislike last minute changes in plan. Yet judging by this and the coming weeks’ planetary activity, even the simplest of arrangements won’t last as they were first conceived. Disruptive as this seems, ultimately, the outcome is likely to be an improvement.

Leo (July 23 – August 22)

In mid-June, the tough Saturn returned to accent the structure of your life. It was positioned there from late 2012 until the end of last year. This return, of three-month’s duration, is prompting a review of certain decisions you made then. You’ll be surprised how ready you are to change some of these.

Virgo (August 23 – September 22)

The time has come to cut out the deadwood from your life. That may sound harsh. You keep certain alliances, projects and plans going either for the sake of others or because you refuse to give up. However, these are an increasing drain on your resources. Say farewell, and soon.

Libra (September 23 – October 22)

As a Libra, you celebrate tact and regard confrontation as a last resort. Consequently, the past several weeks have been challenging. You’ve not only had to play it tough with certain individuals, you have survived several clashes. Better yet, you have realised it’s the best way to communicate with the individuals in question.

Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)

Everybody loves hearing about good fortune. Not only does the Sun’s link with the bountiful Jupiter, midweek, bring exactly such ideas and offers your way, you need only be prepared to say yes. However, because you won’t necessarily recognise them immediately, you are encouraged to explore everything that comes your way.

Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)

As a fire sign, you have long believed that sometimes a healthy, and somewhat heated, debate will both eliminate confusion and clear the air. While that might be true, now, certain individuals are anxious about the changes taking place. Knowing that, ideally, you’ll ensure that discussions are considerably less dramatic.

Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)

Some ideas are appealing the moment you hear about them. Those you are dealing with now, however, are raising unsettling questions about issues you have hoped you could avoid. Not only is that impossible, discussing any concerns you have now will lead to insights as unexpected as they are profitable.

Aquarius (January 20 – February 17)

It’s understandable that your initial reaction to sudden, and rather disruptive, decisions by others hasn’t exactly been positive. But don’t reject these without asking a few, very forthright, questions. Once you learn more, you’ll have a better understanding of the circumstances and, importantly, their influence on you.

Pisces (February 18 – March 19)

Obviously the nature of all joint ventures is exactly that, working together with others. It makes no difference whether it’s personal or professional. However, with both Jupiter and, now, the Sun accenting these close alliances, it’s up to others to set objectives and turn them into a mutually beneficial reality.
