Aries (March 20 – April 19)

Few things are a source of greater pleasure than giving others a hand. While you’re usually able to make things happen swiftly, a few situations have been a source of persistent frustration. Finally, help appears. In fact, this week’s surprising but welcome events will deal with those dilemmas, many overnight.

Taurus (April 20 – May 20)

Although you’re accustomed to dealing with the confusion triggered by Mercury’s retrograde cycle, the situations triggered by your ruler Venus’ period of reverse movement are of a different nature. They could, in fact, lead to timely changes that, in turn, enable you to escape from troublesome, costly or badly timed alliances.

Gemini (May 21 – June 20)

Balancing life’s pleasures and its obligations is always a challenge. Still, with the Sun, Venus and energetic Mars accenting what you enjoy, you’re figuring out ways you can sidestep certain tasks. While you can do it now, they won’t vanish. In fact, some will become more complicated and time consuming.

Cancer (June 21 – July 22)

It always surprises you when anybody will happily watch others undertake unwise plans and say nothing. Yet now you’re in a similar situation. Except the problem is, you’ve offered one particular individual your advice, and they’ve firmly declined it. That’s your cue to back off, and without another word.

Leo (July 23 – August 22)

Exciting as the developments of the past week or so have been, you can’t do everything. Consequently, you have some decisions to make. Only days ago, you’d have struggled with these. However, the clash between your ruler the Sun and Saturn is making it abundantly clear what will work and what won’t.

Virgo (August 23 – September 22)

There’s a growing planetary presence in Virgo. Still, several of the heavenly bodies remain in the most strategic portion of your chart. This indicates situations where you feel guilty or for various reasons, you’re obligated to put others first. However, times are changing and so, too, are these circumstances.

Libra (September 23 – October 22)

Good fortune can appear in an odd and, at the moment, a surprising manner. Knowing that, at least explore every idea or offer that comes your way, especially those that seem unappealing or unrealistic. Once you learn more, you’ll realise they’re exactly what you’ve been looking for, if in an unrecognisable form.

Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)

In early August, Mars, planet of focus, energy and courage, moved to accent the structure of your life. It’s there until late September, leaving you plenty of time to deal with potential changes. While some are welcome, others may trigger concerns. If so, the more swiftly you explore these, the better.

Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)

By no means are you stubborn. Yet your reaction to alterations in familiar elements of your life triggered by the current cycle of change hasn’t exactly been enthusiastic. This is mostly because you loathe the details and distractions these would involve. Still, the benefits will more than outweigh these burdens.

Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)

The time has come to acknowledge that certain longstanding objectives don’t just need to go, they could cause you problems. For now, explore your options. What you learn about these could help convince you that those changes you’re currently dreading would free you, and for something far better.

Aquarius (January 20 – February 17)

Recent events have brought out your stubborn streak. In the past, this side of your character has sustained you when facing unreasonable situations or, indeed, very difficult individuals. Now, however, it’s you who needs to bend. If you can’t agree to certain changes, at least explore them. You’ll soon understand why.

Pisces (February 18 – March 19)

Having encountered those who have blithely dismissed your feelings about certain matters, you’re careful to respect what others are going through. Still, if you don’t tackle certain increasingly tricky differences head on, what currently seem no more than minor misunderstandings could turn into major complications.
