Aries (March 20 – April 19)

Sometimes opposition is exactly that, your views on one particular matter versus those of others. But now, what seem pointless objections are actually about broadening your horizons. Recent developments have substantially altered the circumstances you’re dealing with. These can’t be decided with swiftly. A far-reaching review isn’t just overdue, it’s vital.

Taurus (April 20 – May 20)

Next Thursday your ruler Venus joins the forthright Mars and Jupiter, planet of growth and good fortune, in accenting love and life’s pleasures. This setup is as good as it sounds. Tempting as it is to begin tinkering with arrangements now, you’re urged to wait. By next week you’ll learn why.

Gemini (May 21 – June 20)

On the surface, the loss of one particular longstanding arrangement seems a real disappointment. It’s just that you’ve been increasingly less enthusiastic and increasingly more interested in other pursuits and people. Knowing this, express regret to those who’re genuinely upset, then quietly let it go.

Cancer (June 21 – July 22)

The time has come to abandon an idea that once seemed thrilling. So much so that despite changes in circumstances, you’ve refused to give up on it. If you can’t bear the idea of letting it go, at least consider making some changes. What you learn could revolutionise your thinking.

Leo (July 23 – August 22)

Sooner or later you’ll have to confront one particularly difficult individual, ridiculous rules and regulations, or perhaps both at the same time. Whatever the case, be prepared to be defeated, at least initially. But also recognise what you learn from this could enable you to win in the end.

Virgo (August 23 – September 22)

Planning ahead isn’t just efficient, it allows you, as a Virgo, to set your priorities for the present and the long term. Bear in mind, however, that with several of the planetary powerhouses — Jupiter, Saturn and Mars — having moved into new positions, even the simplest of arrangements are unlikely to last long.

Libra (September 23 – October 22)

Don’t be afraid to take a stance with somebody who’s behaving in an increasingly unreasonable manner. They’re trying to provoke you. The reason may already be clear, or you may have no idea what’s behind their manoeuvres. And you won’t know until you ask exactly what’s on their mind.

Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)

Although you didn’t reveal your feelings to others then, certain recent discussions upset you. The attitude of one particular individual, or circumstances they regarded as acceptable, seemed to you unfair. Now that you’re calmer, you can raise this issue. However, your perspective has changed substantially. So, too, should your views.

Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)

You seem to be facing two battles as the moment. One involves the pace at which certain plans should proceed and the other, the degree of detail necessary before going to the next stage. Annoying as this approach is, you’ll eliminate problems now, rather than have to face them later.

Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)

Judging by the attitude or behaviour of others, those who you thought were committed to certain arrangements don’t care as much as you imagined. Make no decisions just yet. Your assessment may be wrong. With the retrograde Mercury triggering confusion, the actions or words of others are easily misunderstood.

Aquarius (January 20 – February 17)

Destiny seems to have decided to rearrange elements of your life about which you’re truly contented. Obviously, you’re not thrilled. Look around you, however, and you’ll realise others are having similar experiences. These, and yours, are the result of a powerful, and unavoidable, tide of change in the world around you.

Pisces (February 18 – March 19)

Recent events have triggered the stubborn side of your nature. This is rarely seen, partly because you’re usually able to adapt to whatever’s going on. But, also, you’re superb at disguising these strong feelings. Now, that’s not only unwise, it’s impossible. Say exactly what you want, and with uncompromising clarity.
