Aries (March 20 — April 19)

Next week both charming Venus and your ruler Mars depart one of the most practical angles of your chart. While you’ve dealt with numerous tedious but essential matters while they’ve been in this position, a few remain undone. It’s tempting to hope they’ll work themselves out. They won’t. Tackle these now.

Taurus (April 20 — May 20)

Few things are more upsetting than discovering somebody you’ve trusted isn’t reliable. Don’t jump to any conclusions, at least not yet. There are important facts of which you’re unaware. People just haven’t had the time to tell you about events influencing their circumstances.

Gemini (May 21 — June 20)

Usually, planning ahead makes life easier. However, by the 25th when the powerful Gemini Full Moon takes place, your priorities could change dramatically. Knowing that, consider what works, what doesn’t and what may need to go, but save any lasting decisions for later.

Cancer (June 21 — July 22)

Are your ideas good, but lacking in vital facts? Judging by the current planetary set-up, in certain crucial situations, you’re facing both persistent and, often, unexpected developments and a scarcity of information. Don’t let this stop you. Just ensure that, as facts surface, you can easily make the necessary changes.

Leo (July 23 — August 22)

Since mid-October, there’s been a tremendous emphasis on practicalities, from money to the wise use of your other resources. While this has forced you to face several important matters, it’s been seriously dull. There are a few left. Tackle and put them to rest before this cycle ends next week.

Virgo (August 23 — September 22)

It’s not that you’ve been secretive in sidestepping certain facts. On the contrary, you didn’t realise that this information is crucial. Take time to review these, from the beginning to now. This will not only eliminate confusion but also make it far easier to discuss the ideas you have in mind with clarity.

Libra (September 23 — October 22)

While usually, weighing up your options before making a decision is wise, with things moving so swiftly, you’ll have little time to think and still less for examination. That being the case, do something out of character and act purely on instinct.

Scorpio (October 23 — November 21)

For weeks you’ve been shoring up certain plans. The real problem isn’t those arrangements, but the fact you’re determined to keep things as they are. Worrying as even minor changes seem, try them out. Doing so will end those struggles and, at the same time, considerably broaden your perspective.

Sagittarius (November 22 — December 21)

Long ago you learnt to ignore those who insist you plan ahead. While they’ll happily lay out their activities and objectives for the weeks, months and even years to come, you regard arrangements of this nature claustrophobia-inducing. Still, certain matters need to be organised and soon, or there’ll be chaos.

Capricorn (December 22 — January 19)

It’s the rare Capricorn who’ll allow anybody to take full responsibility for crucial tasks. While you may deputise somebody to deal with certain details, you’ll keep an eye on the proceedings. Now that you’re being distracted by other matters, you may have no choice but to trust the individual in question.

Aquarius (January 20 — February 17)

You’ve been making a lot of decisions lately, mostly because taking certain plans further has required ending others. However, you recognise these are by no means all the decisions you’ll need to make over the coming weeks. Knowing that, you can afford to be more adventurous.

Pisces (February 18 — March 19)

Between the Sun’s superb alliance with your ruler Neptune last week and the current one involving the ideas planet, Mercury, you’re in an extremely fortunate position. While your past efforts are bearing fruit, new and worthwhile ideas are coming your way. Respond swiftly.
