Aries (March 20 – April 19)

It’s been a steady diet of practical matters and obligations. While some have been straightforward and a few complex enough to interest you, nothing has been exciting enough to hold your attention. Still, having these dealt with will free you for the more rewarding activities due in a week’s time.

Taurus (April 20 – May 20)

Often when you run into problems, you’ll think carefully about the full range of possible causes before focusing on any one in particular. However, what’s arisen is as straightforward as it seems. Better yet, what you learn in the process of dealing with it will more than justify the effort involved.

Gemini (May 21 – June 20)

While you enjoy a lively debate, you draw the line at accusations, name-calling or serious anger. Yet one particular individual feels these intense clashes clear the air. For them, perhaps. If things get too hot for your comfort, say so, and frankly. Equally, if necessary, be prepared to walk out.

Cancer (June 21 – July 22)

The term ‘disillusionment’ sounds worrying but, in reality, it means exchanging an unrealistic view about a situation or, perhaps, individual for one that’s based on fact. While this might be somewhat of a letdown initially, your instincts had already told you something was amiss. This just confirms that observation.

Leo (July 23 – August 22)

There’s a difference between making decisions, which you’ll be doing lots of, and those turning into lasting arrangements. While, obviously, you’d prefer to get things settled so you can move on, a change in the basis on which plans are made will demand you rethink them, probably more than once.

Virgo (August 23 – September 22)

Although the emotionally intense Full Moon was several days ago, you’re still suffering from the fallout from it. This is taking the form of worries about errors or misunderstandings and whether they caused upset. The individuals in question may have said they didn’t, but you’re allowing those concerns to haunt you.

Libra (September 23 – October 22)

Somebody has just said you upset them. At one point in your life, this news would have caused you serious concern. Since then, you’ve learnt that often those who make statements of this nature, weren’t actually hurt but, rather, regard this as a way of manipulating you into doing what they want.

Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)

Only weeks ago, you assumed certain individuals were silent about important facts because they were reserving vital information for their own use. Now and over the coming days, you’ll realise how untrue that was. They had no idea about these matters and, even now, know far less than you do.

Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)

Life would be easy if plans were left to you. However, several important arrangements are joint ventures and are, in fact, being delayed by the indecisiveness of others. You need be patient until only Tuesday, when the forthright Mars moves to accent these individuals and lights a fire under them.

Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)

Just when you thought that once-shaky arrangements would survive, there’s a setback. Think carefully about these, balancing your hopes and feelings with certain hard facts. These have been difficult because of their nature, and that isn’t going to change. Is that something you’re willing to live with?

Aquarius (January 20 – February 17)

Try to adopt a ‘wait and see’ philosophy. With both May’s recent Full Moon and its New Moon, on the 18th, accenting the structure of your life, things are likely to become and remain unsettled for some weeks. Instead of battling changes, explore every option. You’ll be amazed what you discover.

Pisces (February 18 – March 19)

Every sign is influenced by Mercury’s retrograde cycle. While it doesn’t actually begin until May 19th, because the little planet of communication is accenting domestic, family and property matters, it’s worth double checking your facts now. This ensures that you’re confident about what’s accurate and what isn’t.
