Aries (March 20 – April 19)

Being forthright may be a virtue. But you long ago learnt that being too frank at the wrong time can lead to serious disappointment. However, you will have to discover and stick to the fine line between the two. This won’t be easy. Still, this tricky period requires exactly this variety of balance.

Taurus (April 20 – May 20)

A barrier between you and another individual is about to vanish. Long ago, you realised one particular topic was upsetting, so have avoided it. Obviously this has been tricky, but then, it did sidestep tiresome dramas. Now, magically, the issue in question has been settled, and you need no longer watch your words.

Gemini (May 21 – June 20)

You usually encounter with those who are obsessed with details and annoy you. So question everything. Soon, however, you will thank them. Pointless as their questions seem now, within days you will be relieved you have those facts to hand. Enough you may decide you want to discuss other, as crucial, matters with them.

Cancer (June 21 – July 22)

Nobody would blame you for hoping a magical solution will appear for increasingly worrying issues. While there is little hope on the horizon, don’t give up. Although eclipses, such as those on September 13 and September 28 are renowned for creating disarray, these could just as well trigger the miracles you are seeking.

Leo (July 23 – August 22)

Everybody dreams about offers that come from out of the blue. Now that you are being offered one, you’ll be surprisingly unenthusiastic. Thrilling as the ideas in question are, things are moving so swiftly you have little opportunity to put your own stamp on these developments, something you are not happy about.

Virgo (August 23 – September 22)

As a Virgo and an Earth sign, you never forget that facts are facts. But not everybody thinks that way, which is precisely the problem you are currently contending with. Acknowledge that one particular individual who pays no attention to such matters and instead of struggling, you’ll make your life a lot easier.

Libra (September 23 – October 22)

While everybody is familiar with Mercury’s retrograde cycle, and the accompanying confusion, the influence of the period when your ruler Venus is retrograde hasn’t been as clear, with the exception of past events needing attention. What’s more, now that it is resuming forward motion, your mind will be clearer and your confidence much improved.

Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)

Often ideas or offers that seem too good to be true are exactly what they are. Yet judging by the Sun’s superb alliance with your ruler Pluto, both encounters and the opportunities that are coming your way aren’t just good, they’re better than you possibly imagine. Still, you must first explore them.

Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)

Last minute changes in plan may be disruptive. But with two eclipses shaking up the second half of September, developments are likely to be as sudden as they are dramatic. This means going with the flow. The simple act of making that choice eliminates what would otherwise have been tedious struggles.

Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)

Initially, you ignored certain ideas or offers because taking them would mean undertaking a more extensive reorganisation than you were up to. But now you’ve no choice. Actually, that’s best, because not only have circumstances changed, so has your life. The time has come to rethink absolutely everything.

Aquarius (January 20 – February 17)

Knowing your plans will last would be a relief. However, your instincts are telling you they will change, and within weeks. You’re right. On September 18, the powerful Saturn moves to accent those decisions, and with it, the foundation on which plans are based will shift, as will, inevitably, many of those plans.

Pisces (February 18 – March 19)

Few things are more embarrassing than catching somebody telling a lie. While it is unlikely you can mention this in a forthright manner, it would be wise to make it clear you are aware they’re not exactly being truthful. You will find a way. It won’t be easy, but you’ll be glad you said something.
