Aries March 20 – April 18

Decisions haven’t made you anxious. Rather, every time you’ve been close to making a plan, the foundation on which arrangements would be based has shifted. This has been frustrating, but you’ve not only learned a lot, your understanding of the situation in question and your priorities have changed, more than you’d have imagined possible.

Taurus April 19 – May 19

It’s been a battle, but you hope you’ve found a way to avoid making pointless changes in elements of your daily routine or working life. This may seem a disruptive nuisance now. But not only do they constitute progress, they’ll actually be an improvement. But you won’t know that until you’ve made them.

Gemini May 20 – June 20

With the Sun and your ruling planet Mercury both moving into the down to earth Capricorn, the mood shifts from exploration and discussion to the practical side of life. While this is bound to involve certain rather dull tasks, you’ll also discover the joy of tackling everyday duties with those you care about.

Cancer June 21 – July 21

Change is in the air. While many are routine, and you don’t give them any thought, one or two don’t just involve others, they’re crucial. This means you’ll want to discuss them before making decisions. Be patient. Next week’s aspect between Mars and innovative Uranus will make these a priority for everybody.

Leo July 22 – August 21

Certain complex but persistent issues need attention. While you once hoped they could be resolved without having to resort to serious discussion, it’s now clear you’ve no option. Actually, this is best. Ask everybody involved for suggestions and they’ll come up with solutions and, better yet, will be committed to seeing them through.

Virgo August 22 – September 21

During quiet periods, it’s easy to make lasting plans. But as you’ve learned to your dismay, what works one day doesn’t the next. Since this powerful cycle of growth will continue well into the new year, the solution is to organise things in such a way that plans can be changed, and changed again.

Libra September 22 – October 22

Planetary aspects can be interpreted in many ways, which means selecting what’s most appropriate is difficult. But the powerful links formed to both Uranus and Pluto, which are already influencing you, can only be described as being about transformation. This applies to the world around you but just as much to you.

Scorpio October 23 – November 21

You sometimes forget that others don’t view agreements in the same way you do. When you give your word, you keep it, and to the letter. But some of those you’re dealing with regard even legal arrangements as flexible. Remember this and you won’t be shocked when certain individuals make sudden changes.

Sagittarius November 22 – December 20

Few things irritate you more than those who keep track of everything they do for others. Then when they want a favour, they list those deeds as justification. Obviously, this is counter to your way of thinking. But getting annoyed will only puzzle them. If you can do what they ask, say yes and nothing more.

Capricorn December 21 – January 18

While everybody’s familiar with the period when the ideas planet, Mercury, is retrograde, each planet has a similar period of reverse moment. Venus, which is positioned in Capricorn, will be retrograde until late January. During this period setbacks will call your attention to the misunderstandings you’re aware of and, importantly, those you’re not.

Aquarius January 19 – February 17

Often there’s no point in arguing with those whose views differ so from yours that there’s no common ground. However, with so much in transition in the world around you, the perspective of others and, indeed, your own way of looking at things is evolving. Enough that it’s worth revisiting even once-challenging issues.

Pisces February 18 – March 19

Although the Full Moon was earlier this week, you’re still experiencing the heightened feelings typical of the days just before it takes place. That’s because it accented the structure of your life and raised questions about arrangements that, you now realise, need to be rethought. While, unsettling, it’s obvious these changes are necessary.
