Aries (March 20 — April 19)
Although it may not seem so now, the time has come to celebrate the end of a challenging but productive cycle. Circumstances cornered you into dealing with tedious but vital facts and figures. While you may not have enjoyed this, what you learned will prove amazing helpful, and surprisingly soon.
Taurus (April 20 — May 20)
When you organise something, you do so with the intention of it lasting. You think things through, from the big picture to the smallest detail. Despite that, events are throwing all manner of existing arrangements into disarray. Rather than battle those changes, recognise they’re inevitable. It will make things a lot easier.
Gemini (May 21 — June 20)
When others talk about fine-tuning plans, listen to their ideas, then diplomatically change the subject. Judging by the coming week’s intense planetary activity, even the simplest of arrangements is unlikely to remain as first organised. Knowing that, there’s little point in investing time in discussing and refining them in detail.
Cancer (June 21 — July 21)
Living with differences isn’t easy, but it can be done. Still, the knowledge that there’s a strong potential to strike an accord is bound to be a relief. True, this may mean doing a lot of listening and, quite possibly, making a few compromises. Still, it’s a small price to pay for harmony.
Leo (July 22 — August 22)
Sooner or later you’ll have to straighten out the rather misguided views of somebody you care about but often disagree with. The problem is, such discussions are both time-consuming and aggravating. Knowing that, wait until your mood is serene and your diary is relatively uncomplicated.
Virgo (August 23 — September 22)
Nobody is more interested in learning about new ideas, places and what others are up to. Getting involved in those activities yourself is quite another matter. Yet judging by your ruler Mercury’s recent alliance with Uranus, planet of innovation, you may already have undertaken sudden, and surprisingly exotic, changes.
Libra (September 23 — October 22)
There’s a difference between simply speaking the truth, which in one particular situation, you must, and provoking a drama. You’ve been given the impression that things going smoothly is dependent on your words and actions. It’s not. Others are manipulating you for their purposes. The solution? Busy yourself elsewhere.
Scorpio (October 23 — November 21)
If ever there was a moment when it’s important to take time out for yourself to be with those you care about, it’s now. True, this may require reorganising your entire schedule. While those seemingly pressing obligations can wait, these events are too rare and too important to be missed.
Sagittarius (November 22 — December 20)
Being an inquisitive Sagittarius, you long ago learned how unwise it is to say a categorical ‘no’. Occasionally, seemingly unappealing or even unwise ideas are actually amazing but, at the time, their promise was hidden. Bear that in mind now, since equally amazing opportunities have already appeared and will continue to.
Capricorn (December 21 — January 19)
The sign Scorpio is known for carrying a grudge. But when you feel you’ve been wronged, as could be the case now, you, too, will find a way to get back at the individual in question. The difference is, you move swiftly and often are happy for them to know who’s behind their downfall.
Aquarius (January 20 — February 17)
By no means have you been secretive. Rather, you simply assumed others understood how enthusiastic you are about certain intriguing ideas. But now, as you’ve raised these, you’ve been greeted with puzzled stares. Invest time now in detailing both the facts and your feelings, and make a point of reminding others regularly.
Pisces (February 18 — March 19)
Few things are more worrying than organising plans you know will upset others, sooner or later. Yet you’ve no choice but to proceed. You could discuss these concerns now. You may be able to work things out right away or, better yet, discover others don’t care as much as you feared.
If it’s your birthday today
Ordinarily, you wouldn’t associate revealing conversations with charm, yet the powerful and positive link in your birthday chart between Venus and the uncompromisingly honest Pluto suggests exactly that. So where you might tend to sidestep controversial issues or potentially upsetting facts, mention them, but gently, without any drama. The conversations that result will both explain issues and enable you to understand and, therefore put to rest, even those misunderstandings you’ve struggle to deal with.
