Aries March 20 – April 18

Others are eager to turn the rather exciting discussions you’ve been having into plans. While that makes sense, you’re unsure about your own priorities and, more important, the actual circumstances in question are changing, and swiftly. Knowing that, organise those plans but in such a way they can be easily altered.

Taurus April 19 – May 19

Achieving peace in the world around you is challenging enough. Inner peace can be even more elusive. Yet today, both are within reach. The trick is to ignore any distractions that would keep you from focusing on what’s wonderful in your life and around you. That will work today, and in the future.

Gemini May 20 – June 20

Surprises are great fun, as long as they’re expected. This won’t make sense until you think of certain individuals who adore things being organised for them, but prefer being in on the process. This is particularly important, when you must deal with family and loved ones who can be a bit temperamental.

Cancer June 21 – July 21

You can choose your friends but your relatives are another matter. While you value your relationship with those closest, judging by the current tensions between Mars and Uranus, one particular situation is becoming a very real concern. Forget about seeking a diplomatic solution. This requires frank discussion, and without a moment’s delay.

Leo July 22 – August 21

It’s no secret certain individuals irritate you. Thus far you’ve managed to avoid a confrontation or the clash others are dreading. Yet if you don’t address those annoying issues soon, there could be serious problems. Think these through, then discuss them briefly. You’ll be amazed how cooperative the individuals in question are.

Virgo August 22 – September 21

During demanding periods, such as that you’re now facing, obviously, you wish things could be dealt with swiftly. However, there’s a great deal to be learned from these dilemmas. While this means you’ll be wrestling with difficulties for longer, what you learn will benefit you for the rest of your life.

Libra September 22 – October 22

After having tried subtle hints and discussing the source and remedy for persistent tensions, you’re at your wits end. While this is both uncomfortable and unsettling, it’s just the beginning of a cycle that will result in frank, if not explosive, discussions. Tackle these now and you’ll resolve problems but avoid tedious dramas.

Scorpio October 23 – November 21

Long ago you learned to accept the fact that certain individuals simply refuse to plan ahead. Ironically, you’re about to take on this trait. Or so it will seem, since frequent and sudden changes will force you, too, to make disruptive alterations. The secret? Ensure what you organise can be easily rearranged.

Sagittarius November 22 – December 20

Being a Sagittarius and a fire sign, you enjoy a lively exchange of ideas. You’ve even been known to overstate your view just to get a rise out of others. At the moment, certain individuals are taking such exchanges very seriously indeed. Enough you could easily end up facing a serious misunderstanding.

Capricorn December 21 – January 18

While you’ll react to the unkind or unreasonable words or actions of others, you try to keep such matters in perspective. Yet in several recent situations you wondered if the intent wasn’t to cause you distress. It may have been. Still, the best strategy is simply to pretend it didn’t happen.

Aquarius January 19 – February 17

Of the twelve signs you’re the best at dealing with the quirks of others. Yet even you could find yourself unsure how to handle the increasingly worrying actions and attitude of one particular individual. Your first step is to ask for an explanation. You might discover, given the situation, they’re being perfectly reasonable.

Pisces February 18 – March 19

There’s knowing what your feelings are telling you, which usually isn’t a problem. And then there’s explaining those instincts to others. While some will be receptive if not impressed by those insights, those who most need them could be dismissive. Ignore that. Deep down, they’ll know how right you are.
