Shelley von Strunckel offers a peek into what lies in store for your sign this week
Being an often impatient fire sign, you’re usually the one encouraging others to get things going. However, the current planetary setup accents the need to rethink existing arrangements before you or others tackle anything new. If, initially, the delays are annoying, with so much changing so swiftly, you’ll soon be relieved there’s time to rethink things. And for now? Explore every idea or offer that comes your way.
While Mercury’s retrograde cycle is probably familiar, your ruler Venus has been in reverse motion moment since 23 July and concludes this period on Monday, 4 September. It’s not about things going back to the way they were but, instead, exploring new options. Some have already come your way, others will appear this week. Consider everything. What seems least likely could be brilliant in the long run.
You’ve long struggled to find the right way, and the right moment, to discuss plans that mean a lot to you. This week’s amazing planetary setup indicates things won’t just fall into place, but seemingly simple ideas will soon blossom into unexpectedly far-reaching activities or alliances. The secret? Ignore others’ well-meaning advice to make detailed plans and, instead, be spontaneous. Take things one day at a time.
The Full Moon may have taken place on Thursday 31 August, but over the days since then, you’ve been increasingly aware of its influence on your feelings and those of others. Also, you’ll note changes in circumstances as unexpected as they are timely. The trick? Tempting as it is to turn events into lasting plans, ensure both arrangements and your attitude are flexible. You’ll soon realise how wise this is.
Since early August, you’ve juggled others’ suggestions about potential changes with your own, often very different, approach to rethinking things. Judging by the current planetary setup, there are yet more twists and turns to come. The trick? Discuss and, where possible, undertake those changes, but make it clear they’re a work in progress. That ensures others are ready for the coming week’s unexpected thrills.
True, life would be easier if plans, for now and equally, for the coming weeks were clear. Yet ongoing changes are forcing you to rethink even simple arrangements frequently. Actually, the odds are slim anything will be settled until you’re dealing with the fresh perspective triggered by the Virgo New Moon on the 15th. That being the case, for now, focus on clearing the way for those thrilling developments.
Your gift for handling even very difficult individuals is the envy of others, especially during recent tense situations. While the mood is calmer, ongoing changes in once solid arrangements need to be discussed and dealt with. The challenge? Certain individuals regard themselves as expert or, alternatively, think decision-making is their right. Gently, but firmly, inform them what to expect. That, alone, will change everything.
The issues you and others are dealing with are nothing new. Bizarrely, these developments are influencing several areas of your life. What’s more, they all share the unspoken and, often, tricky objectives of those who’re usually more easygoing. For now, look and learn but say nothing. The insights you gain over the next few days will both explain others’ thinking and clarify your role in the proceedings.
On several occasions over recent weeks you’ve agreed to plans, only to find events forced sudden changes. While ordinarily you’re easygoing about such matters, others’ apparent carelessness annoyed you. Now, finally, the facts surface and you realise a far-reaching rethink won’t just be helpful, it will lead to astonishing discussions. Be patient. Although this won’t be easy, events will soon lead to thrilling breakthroughs.
Capricorn December 22 – January 19
While you’re fascinated by a far-reaching variety of ideas and activities, they tend to focus on existing interests and passions. However, the coming week’s planetary setup accents broadening your horizon, in some cases in ways more far-reaching than you’d have imagined possible. Knowing that, when those offers or ideas appear from out of the blue, don’t debate. Just say ‘yes, thank you’.
Just when you thought that, finally, you’d dealt with situations as unsettling as they’ve been persistent, there’s a new, and unexpected, twist. Annoying if not upsetting as this is, the resulting discussions lead to insights as surprising as they are informative. These, in turn, will lead to plans that take you in the right direction, but in ways as unexpected as they’ll be thrilling.
Pisces February 18- March 19
Every Full Moon brings potential changes and, equally, unsettled feelings to a head. And while the Pisces Full Moon was on 31 August, its influence was so far-reaching that you’re still reflecting on your experiences and, since then, discussions with others. Often the resulting insights altered your understanding of certain individual’s views, but you’re also reviewing your own priorities. In every case, the process will be amazingly illuminating.
