Aries March 20 – April 19
Last week the move by the planet of charm, Venus, into Aries, triggered a cycle that’s about dealing with tensions in several important alliances. While most of the resulting encounters have gone brilliantly, those over the coming week are far more complex and will require considerably more caution, tact and thoughtfulness.
Taurus April 20 – May 20
As an earth sign, you automatically assess the practical side of plans or arrangements. But others don’t. In fact, one particular individual rarely thinks about such matters until a problem arises, at it often does. Since it’s unlikely you’ll be able to alter their character, you’re better off accepting them as they are.
Gemini May 21 – June 20
Most Geminis are optimists by nature, which means you tend to regard obstacles as an invitation to come up with a creative solution. Yet now events are forcing you to stick with certain restrictive rules or regulations. Tempting as it is to try to find a way around these, the results wouldn’t justify the effort.
Cancer June 21 – July 21
Sometimes you can make a single plan and stick to it. Try to do that over the next few days and you’ll only be frustrated. Obviously, you’ll want to consider your objectives. Do that, but keep your ideas flexible enough they can accommodate those inevitable, yet often surprising, twists and turns.
Leo July 22 – August 22
The line between being stubborn and sticking to what’s familiar, and therefore seems safe, is never a clear one. While you understand the conflicts others are experiencing, you can’t help but want to encourage them to take action. Especially now. While that’s what you would do, it may not be best for them.
Virgo August 23 – September 22
Obviously you’d rather avoid a confrontation, especially because the situation in question is complex and the potential for somebody being upset is high. Still, the longer you wait, the more intense emotions will be. Knowing that, move swiftly, even if that means you’ll be short of facts. You’ll soon learn why.
Libra September 23 – October 22
Often you can keep potentially upsetting facts under wraps. Yet judging by the coming days’ clashes between your ruler Venus and both Pluto, planet of truth and revelations, and the unpredictable Uranus, all sorts of things are likely to surface. Knowing that, you might raise some of those issues now.
Scorpio October 23 – November 21
Certain individuals may once have had questionable characteristics. But times have changed and so have they. Yet, somehow, you still believe they’re true. These are undermining your relationship with them. Discuss these frankly, the sooner, the better. What you learn will change your attitude about the individual in question, probably overnight.
Sagittarius November 22 – December 20
You savour the differences between people. However, you find those who’re critical and who, worse, try to tell you how to live your life, particularly difficult. You can listen, in silence, for only so long. Still, it’s better than making a futile attempt to justify your way of living or working.
Capricorn December 21 – January 19
In mid 2013, the bountiful Jupiter formed the first in a series of three spectacular aspects to your ruler Saturn, beginning a cycle of extended, and often unexpected, good fortune. The final of these is on May 23. Knowing that, explore every idea or offer that comes your way. The result could be life-changing.
Aquarius January 20 – February 17
What begins as a minor disagreement could easily turn into serious clashes, and overnight. While you can’t avoid these, you can avoid mentioning your own views, at least for now. Once things are calmer, in a week or so, you can discuss matters frankly. For now, the less said, the better.
Pisces February 18 – March 19
It’s understandable you’d want to challenge one particular individual on their unthinking, if not actually unkind, attitude about the struggles of others. Before you do, ask what’s behind those views. Not only will you realise you’ve misunderstood them, what you learn will revolutionise your thinking about the issue in question.
