Aries (March 20 – April 19)

The Full Moon may not be until next Thursday. But because it accents practical and, especially, financial issues, certain matters are very much on your mind. Learn what you can and discuss your options but, ideally, you’ll avoid making any lasting commitments until things come together, in a week’s time.

Taurus (April 20 – May 20)

Once you hoped an increasingly troublesome matter involving somebody close, personally or in your working life, would resolve itself. It’s now clear it won’t, leaving you no choice but to address this. Understandably, you’d rather get this over with. Instead, wait until mid-month and the issue will arise effortlessly.

Gemini (May 21 – June 20)

Nobody is better at winning others over exciting ideas or plans you believe in. Yet with things moving so swiftly, you’re urged to review the facts before raising these with anybody else. Changes in circumstances have so altered the circumstances in question that you may need to rethink your views.

Cancer (June 21 – July 21)

Although Mercury’s retrograde cycle ended a week ago, you’re still wrestling with all sorts of errors. When you think this through, it’s no surprise. It’s bound to take a while for those mistakes that went undetected at the time to surface and be dealt with. This is exactly what you’re at present facing.

Leo (July 22 – August 22)

Confident as you seem, there are also matters about which you’ve vulnerable feelings. You avoid acknowledging and still less, discussing, these. Yet if you don’t deal with them soon, events will force you to talk them over, and openly. Knowing that, raise these now, while you can decide when and how.

Virgo (August 23 – September 22)

It may be out of character, but when you’re making plans focus on the big picture and forget about detail. You’ll soon realise why this is wise. With the foundation on which those plans are based changing, and often, all the effort you make to organise those details would be wasted.

Libra (September 23 – October 22)

Only days ago you’d have forgiven others for saying one thing and doing another, thinking that everybody changes their mind, including you. But now, because you’re discussing lasting commitments, you need reassurance the individual in question understands the nature of this arrangement and is reliable. Talk this over now, and frankly.

Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)

Eventually, you’ll have to confront one particularly tricky situation. As much of a relief as having this dealt with will be, your instincts are saying not to rush things. They’re right. Ideally, in fact, you’ll wait until the 10th, when Mars’ encounter with your ruler Pluto brings everything to a head.

Sagittarius (November 22 – December 20)

The idea that somebody deliberately tried to short-change you isn’t appealing, which means you’re regarding the questionable behaviour of one particular individual as an accident. Soon the facts will surface. With the forthright Mars meeting truthful Pluto in early next week, events will expose the truth for everybody to see.

Capricorn (December 21 – January 19)

Joys can appear in life in all sorts of settings and situations. They can be part of very personal pursuits, have to do with the achievement of goals or the discovery of something new to learn about. Or they can be the result of appreciating each day, no matter what it offers.

Aquarius (January 20 – February 17)

The terms progress and loss are rarely linked. But certain of the arrangements you’re making will, inevitably, mean you must say farewell to familiar elements of the past. This won’t be easy, but you’ll soon realise that in letting these go, you’re clearing the way for a more rewarding future.

Pisces (February 18 – March 19)

This hardly seems the ideal moment to take a tough line with anybody. You’re so enjoying exploring new ideas and ventures that you’d rather not be distracted. Yet if these plans are to last, they need a firm foundation. That’s the reason your preparations need to be down to earth as well.
