Aries (March 20 – April 18)

Nobody would have blamed you for regarding the recent very odd behaviour of one particular individual as provocative. Yet you couldn’t help but feel this was more out of fear than anything else. Not only were your instincts correct, the resulting conversations have rebuilt links you regarded as beyond repair.

Taurus (April 19 – May 19)

Few things annoy you more than discussing various potential plans in depth, then reaching a solution, only to have the actual basis of those plans change. Frustrating as this is, look around you and you’ll realise others are struggling with exactly the same variety of confusion. The answer? Ensure arrangements are flexible.

Gemini (May 20 – June 20)

It’s not that you’re short of ideas. It’s that you’re lacking the facts necessary to take certain exciting plans to the next stage. Urgent as things seem, try to take it slowly. Ideally, in fact, you’ll avoid any fixed arrangements until after the insights that accompany the New Moon, in a week’s time.

Cancer (June 21 – July 21)

While often sudden changes are a nuisance, they can be an indication of serious problems. At the moment, however, they’re indicative of nothing more than what they seem, developments that are as unexpected as they are unsettling. The sooner you get involved, the more swiftly you’ll see how true this is.

Leo (July 22 – August 21)

In mid-July the courageous Mars moved into the most strategic portion of your chart, triggering a cycle of questioning and, occasionally, self doubt. Unsettling as this may have been, now that it’s moved into Leo, you’ll find you’re prepared to deal with the range of crucial decisions that suddenly come your way.

Virgo (August 22 – September 21)

Although the Virgo New Moon doesn’t actually take place until 5 September, you’re probably feeling the need to de-clutter both your life and your thinking. This clear-out is preparation for the fresh start it brings. The more you let go of now, the freer you’ll be to take advantage of exciting changes then.

Libra (September 22 – October 22)

Life may be exciting at the moment, but between rapid changes in existing arrangements and exciting new ideas, your plans are in chaos. As a result you’ve had to rethink and, in some cases, cancel previous arrangements. While ordinarily you’d simply set another date, it’s unwise. For now, things are best kept flexible.

Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)

Planning ahead may be a virtue and make you feel secure about what to expect. While you’d like to know what’s what, judging by the current unsettled planetary setup, even your most thoroughly researched efforts at getting organised would only lead to sudden changes. The more easygoing your approach to planning, the better.

Sagittarius (November 22 – December 20)

Not only are the decisions you’re making difficult, they’re pitting you against somebody who you care about but whose views are very different from yours. Tempting as it is to talk things over, it will only increase the tensions between you. This should be settled by the weekend. Try to avoid contact until then.

Capricorn (December 21 – January 18)

Ordinarily you’re very easygoing about who pays for what, figuring that in the long run everything will work out. But when you suspect that somebody’s trying to take advantage of you, it’s another matter. Usually you’ll be watchful and cautious. Instead, ask the individual in question what’s up. Their answer will surprise you.

Aquarius (January 19 – February 17)

Sooner or later you’ll have to make crucial decisions about tricky financial or business matters. While, on one hand, you’d rather resolve these now, you’re short of facts. More important, certain appealing options aren’t nearly as good as they seem. Once these flaws come to light, your options will be much clearer.

Pisces (February 18 – March 19)

As much as you’d like to make certain complex personal decisions, you don’t even know where to begin. That’s no surprise. Actually, at the moment you’re meant to be gathering facts. There is, in fact, no rush. This process is preparing you for the powerful Pisces Full Moon in about three weeks’ time.
