Aries (March 20 – April 19)

Your initial reaction to facts you don’t what to hear will be to reject them. But as will become clear over the next few days, these are true and there’s yet more to discover. Once you’ve acknowledged this, it will be far easier for you to deal with everything else. 

Taurus (April 20 – May 20)

Every once in a while a situation arises in which you must take a stand. This is exactly what you’re facing. While you could invest time in gathering more information, you’re better off confronting the individual in question. Express your concerns, then listen carefully to what they have to say. 

Gemini (May 21 – June 20)

Being told you’re about to be disillusioned may not sound like good news. But think what this means. You’re about to recognise where or how you’re being been deceived, which is the essential first step to gathering the full facts. Once that’s done, you can consider what changes must be made. 

Cancer (June 21 – July 22)

The moment has come to take a tough line with one particular individual. You may have a soft spot for them or, alternatively, you’re aware they’re facing opposition and doing their best. Still, their errors are costing you greatly in time and, recently, money. Seriously consider giving them other responsibilities. 

Leo (July 23 – August 22)

While there’s no way you can avoid the disappointing situations triggered by the clash between your ruler the Sun and Neptune, you can make a point of learning from them. Immediately begin asking questions, and instead of brooding on what went wrong, you will instead focus on putting things right.

Virgo (August 23 – September 22)

There really is no way you can avoid crucial frank discussions. True, these may require that you confront certain individuals with their lackadaisical attitude towards planning and details. The irony is, they’ll acknowledge this is true, but they’ll also confess that they don’t really care. It’s unlikely they’ll make changes. 

Libra (September 23 – October 22)

Obviously the welfare of those you care about is crucial yet, you’re conscious you must look after elements of your own life and well being. In fact, you’ve been neglecting them. With both the forthright Mars and, until early December, your ruler Venus in Libra, you and your interests must take priority. 

Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)

Simply addressing certain complex issues is challenging enough. Deciding what to do about the facts that come to light is quite another matter and could seem overwhelming. In most cases, you need do no more than discuss various options with those concerned, ideally, in depth. Those decisions can wait. 

Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)

Don’t be surprised if what you’re told by others and observe doesn’t add up. While these discrepancies may be minor errors, planetary activity involving the sometimes deceptive Neptune suggests somebody is trying to pull the wool over your eyes. Double check what others insist are solid facts very carefully indeed. 

Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)

Once again, you’ve over-extended yourself. Now, you’re exhausted but, also, worried about whether you’ve done things right. These anxieties are more about stress and self-doubt than hard facts. The best remedy is time and a bit of rest. Within a few days, things will look very different indeed. 

Aquarius (January 20 – February 17)

Nobody is more sympathetic about the plight of others than an Aquarius. You note what those around you are doing, what’s going well and where they’re struggling. As much as you’d like to see them overcome those difficulties, be wary of offering advice or, worse, help. You’ll soon regret it. 

Pisces (February 18 – March 19)

Sometimes disappointments are exactly that. But with so much in transition, these setbacks are really an invitation to review your existing arrangements and, equally, to reconsider your future plans. Unnecessary as this seems now, within days you’ll realise why it’s necessary, and will be thankful you did.
