Aries (March 20 – April 18)

When your ruler, Mars, first moved into the thorough and rather painstaking sign of Scorpio in early January, you began a cycle of questioning and reflection. Tedious and often infuriating as the resulting slow pace has been, now that you’re nearly through this cycle, you’re realising how much you’ve learnt.

Taurus (April 19 – May 19)

There are many ways to say the word no, some of which mean you need time to think; others that mean non-negotiable refusal. Yet this is the approach you’re taking to an already complex matter. Don’t be surprised if those around you are confused. It’s logical.

Gemini (May 20 – June 19)

There’s a difference between discussing potential changes in your domestic or working life, which you’ve been doing, and actually making them. Remote as those changes seem now, between the Sun moving to accent these on the 19th and the New Moon a few days later, they’re closer than you think.

Cancer (June 20 – July 21)

Next week’s Full Moon accents your perspective on certain controversial matters, and you’re already somewhat on edge. Take this opportunity to delve into those feelings. Face and deal with them now, so when the time comes to talk things over, your mood and attitude will be more relaxed.

Leo (July 22 – August 21)

Patience isn’t usually your strength. But after a week during which it’s apparent some so-called setbacks prevented you doing something you’d have regretted, you’re beginning to realise that taking certain things slowly isn’t just wise, it actually saves you time. Remember this over the coming days.

Virgo (August 22 – September 21)

After weeks of battling changes in your daily routine for fear of the resulting disruption, there’s no choice now. While obviously your objective is to limit these as much as possible, once you begin, you’ll realise several arrangements would benefit from a serious rethink — and there’s no better time to do this than now.

Libra (September 22 – October 21)

Parting from others on a tense note is agony for most Libras. But, as you’re well aware, not everybody cares about such matters and that’s very much the case at the moment. In fact, the individual in question is likely to forget any differences swiftly and you should, too.

Scorpio (October 22 – November 20)

Some would say that practical matters and duty must always come before pleasure. But judging by your chart at the moment, not only do you need a break but also those closest to you need your time and attention. Besides, those obligations aren’t nearly as pressing as you think: They can wait.

Sagittarius (November 21 – December 20)

Usually you’ll happily reorganise your schedule and, when necessary, rethink your priorities. But you’re struggling with certain sudden changes. This is no surprise. You may not have realised how attached you are to both existing arrangements and plans you’ve been discussing, but they need to change.

Capricorn (December 21 – January 19)

As a Capricorn and an earth sign, you know how important it is that you keep track of the practical and financial ends of arrangements. But between sudden changes and unexpected developments, that’s been difficult. You’ll be happy to learn, therefore, the planetary focus is shifting to exactly such matters.

Aquarius (January 20 – February 18)

Usually you’re not only quick to assess situations, you’ll be the first to express your views. Yet recently you’ve been uncharacteristically hesitant about speaking up. Now, suddenly, vital facts will come to light. These clarify both certain matters and your priorities, so you know exactly what to say.

Pisces (February 19 – March 19)

With the Sun, now Mercury and soon Venus all positioned in the most intuitive angle of your chart, you’re urged to heed your instincts as much, if not more, than hard facts. What surfaces won’t just answer persistent questions about troubling issues, you’ll also realise why certain arrangements didn’t work out.
