Aries (March 20 – April 19)

You pride yourself on your ability to deal with challenges. In fact, the tougher they are, the more stimulating you find them. Yet you’re trying to avoid one particular matter, mostly because it requires following plans somebody else has organised. Stop being stubborn and instead go with the flow.

Taurus (April 20 – May 20)

For ages you’ve sworn you’d never give up on one particular plan. It’s dear to your heart and would help others. Or so you think. Review that plan. Times have changed and, as a result, if your vision is to work out properly, you might need to begin again.

Gemini (May 21 – June 20)

If something’s holding you back but you can’t figure out what, think again. The issue isn’t an arrangement or plan but a habit. You’re unaware of it, which means spotting it won’t be easy. But once you do, you’ll realise why it’s prevented you taking advantage of certain ideas or offers.

Cancer (June 21 – July 21)

Are you feeling listless, perhaps even lacking in ambition? That’s as it should be. The period before the New Moon, which is on Monday, is about reflection. Being still. Investing time in considering what works, what doesn’t and, in particular, what you might consider saying farewell to.

Leo (July 22 – August 22)

Facts are important and, in certain matters, crucial. However, several potentially thrilling plans are stuck. All the analysis in the world won’t get things going. But creative thinking will achieve wonders. Set aside time to brainstorm, on your own or with others. You’ll be amazed what you come up with.

Virgo (August 23 – September 22)

With the Sun moving into Virgo, and the New Moon in your sign, only two days from now, you’re bound to get a boost. Bear in mind, however, this also indicates a fresh start. That could mean finally admitting to yourself it’s time to say farewell to certain increasingly unrewarding arrangements.

Libra (September 23 – October 22)

Being ruled by the gracious Venus, you believe even very challenging situations can be dealt with in a civilised manner. As you’re well aware, not everybody feels that way. Worse, somebody you must now contend with doesn’t care. Knowing that, your only choice is to be as tough as they are.

Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)

Everybody hopes for luck. The irony is, while you’re benefitting from the influence of the planet of good fortune, Jupiter, in the pivotal midheaven angle of your chart, you haven’t necessarily recognised the events it’s triggered as being worthwhile, much less lucky. Say yes, and you’ll discover the fortunate event they’re introducing.

Sagittarius (November 22 – December 20)

Yet again, you’re succumbing to the demands of others to plan ahead and so, find yourself trapped in arrangements that are taking you in entirely wrong direction. Say exactly that. Judging by the influence of the coming New Moon and its accompanying fresh perspective, they’ll feel the same way.

Capricorn (December 21 – January 19)

When you turned down certain offers recently, you didn’t think about it. Rather, you decided long ago what and who is of interest to you and what isn’t. While knowing yourself is good in some ways, it can also mean you cut yourself off from experiences that could broaden your horizons.

Aquarius (January 20 – February 17)

Progress is generally viewed as wonderful thing. This could be the reason it simply hadn’t occurred to you that, moving closer to achieving certain longstanding goals, will mean saying say farewell to familiar elements of the past. Impossible as this seems, once you do, you’ll feel and new and unexpected freedom.

Pisces (February 18 – March 19)

Ordinarily, you welcome change. Yet in certain areas of your life, your thinking is so rigid it doesn’t even occur to you changes are possible or, as is the case now, wise. Consequently, you dismiss others’ suggestions you do things differently. Being alert to this is the first step to tackling it.
