Aries (March 20 – April 19)

Somebody seems to think they can have their way by manipulating you. They’re trying to make you anxious, then force you to agree to their plans or ideas. While, obviously, this is infuriating, they’re aware of certain facts you’re not. Obtaining that information could mean playing along with their game.

Taurus (April 20 – May 20)

Although your instincts may have told you to steer clear of tense situations that aren’t really your affair, doing it is another matter. The real problem is issues are more complex than they seem, which makes disentangling yourself tricky. If you simply avoid getting involved, life will be a lot easier.

Gemini (May 21 – June 20)

During periods of intense change, such as this is, it’s easy to misunderstand others or their intentions and, equally, they could be bewildered by yours. While you can’t explain everything you do, you can ensure you respond to any questions immediately and, equally, be on the lookout for indications of confusion.

Cancer (June 21 – July 21)

Every once in a while there’s an issue that’s so contentious discussions are simply impossible. Despite that, you’re tempted to get the parties involved together to talk things over. Consider this carefully. It could make things worse. Instead, back off and allow destiny to decide when and where others meet.

Leo (July 22 – August 22)

Recent developments weren’t just frustrating, they brought out the warrior side of your nature. You’re determined to do something about these, if only so others won’t face the same aggravation you have. Do a little investigation first. Once you learn more, you might think twice about taking these on.

Virgo (August 23 – September 22)

Obviously you want seriously difficult issues resolved. You may already have tried and met with frustration. That’s no surprise. You’re short of facts, which means your best efforts would come undone, and within a short time. For now, focus on learning as much as you can. Those facts will prove crucial.

Libra (September 23 – October 22)

There’s a difference between being asked for advice and it being wise to give it. As you’re well aware, exceedingly tricky situations have made everybody uptight, including you. Still, you might wonder if, with a little encouragement, you could boost the spirits of others. Not at the moment. Don’t even try.

Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)

In most situations you’re right to be hesitant about getting involved with people you don’t know or ideas that are foreign to you. Yet judging by the current unsettling planetary setup, the swift pace precludes even questions. This means you’ll need to get involved, and get acquainted, at the same time.

Sagittarius (November 22 – December 20)

Those born under the practical earth signs would have figured out and organised the financial arrangements before committing to a thing. Being a Sagittarius and a fire sign, however, you plunged in and are now facing facts and doing your sums. This last-minute approach annoys others but comes naturally to you.

Capricorn (December 21 – January 19)

As a Capricorn you rightly pride yourself on being reasonable, even when things are unfair, as is now the case. Instead of sticking to that rational way of dealing with these, you’d be better off adopting a theatrical attitude and perhaps plunging into risky offers. They’ll work out far better than you anticipate.

Aquarius (January 20 – February 17)

Having watched others allow minor differences to deteriorate into battles often enough, you try to be both fair and understanding. Still, the recent antics of others are puzzling. Forget about trying to figure out their intentions. Ask them. And be forthright. They’ll explain, and what they say will surprise you.

Pisces (February 18 – March 19)

Although you can anticipate the fresh perspective that accompanies the New Moon, even at your most intuitive, it’s unlikely you’ll anticipate what those insights will be. Knowing that, your time is better spent considering what doesn’t work and might go, in the process clearing the way for what’s next.
