Aries (March 20 – April 18)

Be wary of the issues you raise with others. Ordinarily you’d stand your ground until those with whom there are differences give in. Confident as you are your facts are right, you’re lacking vital information. While backing off is your best option, if you can’t do that, at least avoid arguments.

Taurus (April 19 – May 19)

Sometimes having an idea turned down or being refused by somebody important is an opportunity, although in disguise. While you may have targeted progress in one direction, what seem setbacks are actually encouraging you to go in a very different direction, but one that will ultimately prove more profitable.

Gemini (May 20 – June 19)

It should be obvious. In moving ahead, you must leave certain elements of the past behind. Yet you’re still hoping that you can continue with arrangements that are as reassuring as they are longstanding. While that may be true, these are also preventing you from exploring worthwhile ideas or offers.

Cancer (June 20 – July 21)

Obviously, when making a decision, you’d prefer that facts are reliable. But as is becoming increasingly clear, even the simplest of situations are in flux. That being the case, you’ll be forced to make guesstimates about both the actual circumstances you’re dealing with and what, and who, is trustworthy.

Leo (July 22 – August 21)

Being passionate by nature, if you’re upset, others will know about it. And, equally, when you’re enthusiastic, you don’t hold back. Unfortunately, however, somebody has mistaken that enthusiasm as meaning far more than you intended. Clear up this confusion immediately or there’ll be serious problems in the future.

Virgo (August 22 – September 21)

Everybody has habits that are so ingrained changes seem impossible. Others have pointed out the problems these are causing. But you can’t see how alterations could be made. Fortunately for you, the current New Moon accents exactly these matters and, better yet, casts them in a timely fresh perspective.

Libra (September 22 – October 21)

Someone has become increasingly lackadaisical about financial matters. Where, in the past, they’d have borrowed money then paid it back, it’s now taking longer. And, recently, they haven’t even mentioned their debt to you. They’re hoping you’ll be too embarrassed to raise this. You must show them you’re not.

Scorpio (October 22 – November 20)

Every Scorpio has an inborn knowledge that what remains unspoken can be far more important than what you actually say. Now, however, you’re urged to ensure others are fully aware of both your feelings and the practical side of certain arrangements. Waste no time. These matters need to be discussed immediately.

Sagittarius (November 21 – December 20)

Don’t allow the comments or criticisms of others to distract you from plans you’ve already made. While you might need to rethink these, and more than once, it will be your decision and not influenced by individuals who have absolutely no business interfering with what you’ve organised.

Capricorn (December 21 – January 19)

Few things worry you more than watching close friends or colleagues make unwise decisions. Obviously, you’ll want to express your concerns or give them advice. Once you’ve done that, you must back off and allow them to proceed as they see fit. Make it clear you support them, whatever they do.

Aquarius (January 20 – February 18)

The secret to dealing with the current rather chequered situations you’re facing is to do something out of character. And that is to make compromises and halfway decisions. This may cause confusion, but it will also give you room to manoeuvre when circumstances change as, inevitably, they will.

Pisces (February 19 – March 19)

Somebody has been trying to manipulate you by making you feel guilty, and they’ve done a very good job of it. So good you’ve agreed to their demands, despite feeling they’re unreasonable. Knowing that, go back to them and make your own demands, which is you’ll do things your way, or not at all.

IF IT’S YOUR BIRTHDAY TODAY

Learning that you’re in for contentious encounters may not sound like good news. However, judging by your birthday chart, these are designed to shake you up, and in a good way. Although you’re unaware of it, certain matters you’ve simply accepted as being the status quo are holding you back. These conflicts will force you to assess these and rethink, if not entirely alter them and, better yet to consider alternatives you’ve previously dismissed as uninteresting or unrealistic.
