Aries (March 20 – April 19)
Only days ago, somebody promised to give you a hand. Not only did they seem sincere, they’ve proved reliable in the past. Yet now they’re backing out. This has nothing to do with you and everything to do with unexpected difficulties they’re unable to discuss. They’ll explain. But not now.
Taurus (April 20 – May 20)
Sooner or later you’ll have to take a firm hand with one particular individual who simply refuses to recognise how upsetting their behaviour is. Or so it seems. They’re well aware of it, and actually enjoy irritating others. Bide your time. Soon events will reveal a way to handle them.
Gemini (May 21 – June 20)
Now that the Sun has joined your ruler Mercury and the planet of energy and action, Mars, in Gemini, you should be able to put certain plans you’ve spent considerable time organising into action. No matter how carefully you’ve thought them through, ensure they’re flexible. With Mercury retrograde, changes are inevitable.
Cancer (June 21 – July 22)
Every once in a while you must say farewell to a familiar element of your life. While, often, it’s clear the arrangement in question is coming to an end, you’d always assume this would last forever. It must go. That’s difficult. Still, it’s making way for something better.
Leo (July 23 – August 22)
You think of yourself as being both canny and, when the situation demands, tough. Yet somebody seems to have hypnotised you into going along with their ideas which, under other circumstances, you’d regard as seriously unwise. Within days, events will jar you out of this spell and force you to face reality.
Virgo (August 23 – September 22)
For ages there’s been talk of substantial alterations in your lifestyle or activities out in the world, but nothing has worked. Now events are forcing your hand. This may seem premature, if not just plain unfair. Yet what you learn while dealing with these sudden changes will answer all your questions, and swiftly.
Libra (September 23 – October 22)
The capacity to hope for the best when there’s a great deal that’s worrying is a gift. While you’re encouraged to continue to take an optimistic approach to somewhat tricky situations, be alert to the questionable words and actions of others. If your instincts tell you to be concerned, they’re probably right.
Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)
While usually you’re able to be amazingly patient, even when others are complaining about things not getting done, now it’s you who’s on edge. That’s because the issue in question is one over which you’ve little control. The solution? Accept there’s nothing you can do and busy yourself elsewhere.
Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)
Backing out of arrangements is no problem, whether it’s you or somebody else who’s altering plans. Or usually that’s the case. Now you’re so involved in one particular plan, idea or venture that you’d regard changes, by others or your own, as disastrous. Rethink this. You’ve lost your perspective.
Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)
Many view the dilemmas triggered by Mercury’s retrograde cycle as irritating but minor problems. The irony is that if you delve into those issues and errors, you can learn a lot. In some cases it’s a matter of putting things right. But in a few, insights could revolutionise your thinking.
Aquarius (January 20 – February 17)
Although the Full Moon isn’t until early June, it would be no surprise if you weren’t already focusing on the combination of exciting ideas and personal passions that it accents. Take advantage of the opportunity this gives you to explore your options now, before matters come to a head then.
Pisces (February 18 – March 19)
Mars can be hot-headed. However, you may already sense the more manipulative side its clash with your ruler Neptune is bringing out. It could be others who’re annoyed but pretending to be sympathetic about tricky dilemmas or, indeed, it could be you. Whoever it is, there’s only one remedy. The truth.
