Aries (March 20 – April 19)

You don’t think of yourself as stubborn. But when an individual or event challenges a plan or decision that’s dear to your heart, you’ll fight for it with all your might and being. While often that’s a virtue, give some thought to the circumstances in question. Those changes could prove timely.

Taurus (April 20 – May 20)

Sometimes obstacles are no more than that, problems to be overcome. But those you’re currently facing are prompting you to review certain longstanding arrangements. While these have worked well, and for a very long time, the foundation on which they’re based has shifted, so much these may need to be rethought.

Gemini (May 21 – June 20)

There are many varieties of good ideas. Exciting as those you’re currently facing may be, deep down you’re wary of either the people involved or the demands they’d place on you. This is wise. Ask a few direct questions and do some investigation. What you learn will reveal just how right you were.

Cancer (June 21 – July 22)

Often we blame everything that goes wrong on Mercury’s retrograde cycle, which lasts for another week. Yet, ironically, the errors triggered by this particular cycle will prove illuminating if not actually helpful. Sometimes it’s not until things go wrong that you’re prompted to ask crucial questions, as has been the case.

Leo (July 23 – August 22)

Being a fire sign, you don’t wait around for things to happen. If there’s something you want to do, achieve or experience, you’ll plunge in. While, usually, this gets things going, at the moment it could actually complicate matters. Unprofitable as further investigation seems, it’s by far the best option.

Virgo (August 23 – September 22)

On the 18th, Saturn, the planet of focus, moved to accent the structure of your life. While, of the twelve signs, you give the most thought to what’s wise and what isn’t, this begins a powerful, often challenging, but ultimately worthwhile cycle of review. What you learn will prove immensely valuable.

Libra (September 23 – October 22)

There’s no right or wrong way to clash with those you care about. Tempting as it is to smooth over issues to avoid a confrontation, you’re better off raising these now. The odds are good that, once you actually discuss these matters, you’ll discover others aren’t nearly as on edge about them as you imagine.

Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)

Urgent as certain decisions are, it’s worth bearing in mind that the communication planet, Mercury, is both retrograde and positioned in the most strategic angle of your chart. Knowing that, state your case, but save serious discussions for after it moves forward, on the 9th, when conversations will be less complicated.

Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)

For ages you’ve managed to sidestep certain tedious rules or regulations. For you, it’s seemed like a victory, because you regard these as ridiculous and a waste of time. Now that Saturn, which accents all such matters, is in Sagittarius, the odds are good you’ll need to deal with these.

Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)

Usually disappointments are exactly that, situations in which events or the circumstances of certain individuals prevent plans progressing as intended. Now these are prompting you to ask some serious questions about what or, perhaps, who you’re dealing with. What comes to light as a result could be informative.

Aquarius (January 20 – February 17)

Living with minor disagreements is an art, one that involves both a genuine ability to tolerate the foibles of others and, equally, a sense of humour. Still, one particular situation is now causing you serious aggravation. Speak up. The resulting discussion will be far less complicated than you anticipate.

Pisces (February 18 – March 19)

You’ve a remarkable knack for spotting trends, in the world, in others’ lives and in your own. Yet the changes currently taking place involve an area you try to ignore. Now, and over the coming weeks, it won’t just be on your mind, crucial decisions will force you to focus on it.
