Aries (March 20 – April 19)

Few things irritate you more than having to deal with pointless rules and regulations. Yet judging by the clash between Mars, in Gemini, and the exceedingly conventional Saturn, that’s exactly what you’re facing. Ask why they’re in place. What you learn may not only explain them but will convince you they’re wise.

Taurus (April 20 – May 20)

Suggesting that you trust your intuition is easy, but doing it is another matter, especially when situations are of a practical nature. The trick is to plunge in, but in a manner that would allow you to extricate yourself, if necessary. While it’s unlikely you’ll need to, it will be reassuring.

Gemini (May 21 – June 20)

Your ruler Mercury is in Gemini for all of May, June and into early July. This both boosts your spirits and encourages timely long term planning. However, between this Tuesday, the 19th and June 11, it will be retrograde. While confusion is inevitable, some of it could be amazingly revealing.

Cancer (June 21 – July 22)

For ages you’ve been concerned about issues as sensitive as they are complex. If it were just you, there’d be no problem. But these involve others, and you’re unsure what would upset them and what wouldn’t. Discuss this frankly. It won’t be easy, but it’s better than facing dramas later.

Leo (July 23 – August 22)

Being a forthright Leo, you say what’s on your mind, which makes for lively conversation and, on occasion, revealing exchanges. Still, one or two individuals are being secretive, so much so you wonder what they’re keeping under wraps. Ask them. It may be they’d no idea it mattered or anybody cared.

Virgo (August 23 – September 22)

Balancing tact with the need to be forthright about issues that require this variety of direct discussion isn’t easy. This is especially the case now, because you’re dealing with somebody who takes offence easily. Tempting as it is to sidestep the matter entirely, speak up. It’s important that you do.

Libra (September 23 – October 22)

As an air sign, you’ve a healthy respect for the facts. Yet being ruled by Venus, which accents charm and grace, even when dealing with complex situations, you’ll also rely on your intuition. Not only is this wise, the resulting insights could lead to arrangements as wonderful as they are unexpected.

Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)

There are many ways to question the truth of what somebody is saying without suggesting that they’re lying, even though that’s what you’re thinking. The problem is, this particular individual is adept at sidestepping such issues. You’re better off gathering whatever facts you can, then stating your concerns frankly and openly.

Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)

Ordinarily you won’t even be thinking of the next Full Moon, which is in early June. But because it’s in Sagittarius and so brings both personal issues and those involving others to a head, certain matters are already on your mind. Although it may seem these are urgent, they’re not. Take your time.

Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)

Certain close relationships, personal and professional, have been under stress. Now that the planet that’s all about love and life’s pleasures, Venus, has actually moved into the portion of your chart that accents such alliances, you can relax. Letting your guard down may take time, but it will be worth it.

Aquarius (January 20 – February 17)

Substantial shifts in elements of your life, the circumstances of others or, perhaps, the need to rethink your living arrangements has meant making major changes. Unsettling as these seemed initially, now that you’re more relaxed, you’re beginning to enjoy the pleasure of exploring options that only recently simply weren’t possible.

Pisces (February 18 – March 19)

This is one of those strange periods during which the bonds of friendship, family or affection enable you to ride out what would otherwise be impossible situations. In fact, those links have strengthened those who are involved, including you, and, increased everybody’s confidence that a solution is within reach.
