Aries (March 20 – April 19)

You’ve been sidestepping an issue involving your aims and desires versus what family or loved ones think is best. While you’ll happily fight for what you believe is right, you fear this particular matter could lead to a rift. Don’t wait. The more swiftly you tackle it, the fewer dramas there’ll be.

Taurus (April 20 – May 20)

We all have plans we’ve worked hard to achieve and, perhaps more important, dreams we cherish. Now, however, sudden events are forcing you to review, if not let go of, many of these. This isn’t easy, but will free you. Still, only when you’ve done it, will you realise how much.

Gemini (May 21 – June 20)

Tricky practical or financial matters need to be dealt with. Actually, you’re better off waiting until this Wednesday, when your ruler Mercury joins the Sun in accenting these. Between then and mid-July you’ll find you’re able to tackle many of these in swift succession and, better yet, put most to rest.

Cancer (June 21 – July 22)

Judging by the present planetary setup, somebody you’re dealing with is being stubborn, if not just plain unreasonable. While it may seem that way, ask a few questions. Once they’ve explained about the circumstances that are influencing them as much as they are you, things will look very different indeed.

Leo (July 23 – August 22)

Altering longstanding habits is never easy. But judging by your chart, these changes are enforced, the result of events that aren’t under your control, so all the more aggravating. Ironically, they’ll force you to review similar habits which, while familiar and in some cases reassuring, are actually complicating your life.

Virgo (August 23 – September 22)

Judging by the series of tough aspects involving the uncompromising Pluto, between now and mid-July, between invasive questions and challenges involving hard facts, you’re in for a tough time. Still, you can prepare yourself. Note every arrangement that’s debatable, and gather the information necessary to back up your plans.

Libra (September 23 – October 22)

Few things are more difficult than asking questions you know will rouse issues others are struggling with. However, you’ve no choice. If the individual you’re talking to doesn’t already understand the background and reason you’re raising this, explain, as briefly as possible. Once they understand, they’ll be delighted to help.

Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)

Life would be easier if you could make one decision and stick with it. But during times of change, such as this is, while existing arrangements evolve, new ways of doing things inevitably lead to intriguing, unfamiliar ideas. Disruptive as getting involved with these would be, they’re worth serious exploration.

Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)

It’s the rare Sagittarius who objects to a lively exchange of ideas. And if that turns into a somewhat heated dispute, you assume it will clear the air. However, one particular individual has powerful feelings about the matter in question, and could take what you say more seriously than you intended.

Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)

Sooner or later you’ll have to tackle differences with somebody you’re close to on the personal or work front. What were once minor issues are swiftly turning into a rift that could lead to real problems. Yet you’re hoping they’ll somehow resolve themselves. They won’t. It’s up to you to deal with these.

Aquarius (January 20 – February 17)

Obviously, dealing with unsettling situations can be a big challenge. Yet, what you learn and the issues you’re forced to discuss with others almost make up for it. That’s certainly the case now. What comes to light could completely alter your thinking on what, previously, you regarded as unchanging arrangements.

Pisces (February 18 – March 19)

The time has come to be forthright, if not just plain blunt. This variety of communication may not be your style, but one particular individual will ignore all but the most direct of statements. It’s not that they’re not interested. It’s just their mind is way too cluttered with their own chatter.
