Aries (March 20 – April 19)

Often obstacles are no more than that. But judging by the current planetary set-up, if you do a little investigation, those dilemmas can be very revealing. The trick is to ask more questions than, strictly, is necessary. Gradually the answers will fill out the picture in an unexpectedly informative manner.

Taurus (April 20 – May 20)

Because the Full Moon, early next week, accents the structure of your life, it’s time to deal with certain changes. You’ve discussed them, their promise, potential problems and the timing with anybody who’d listen. What you haven’t done is actually committed to a plan. Events are about to force your hand.

Gemini (May 21 – June 20)

Being an air sign, you’ve an instinctive understanding of others’ emotional ups and downs. But that doesn’t mean you think it wise to discuss those feelings in detail. Still, at the moment, somebody you care about is struggling and needs you to listen. That, and no more, is all that’s necessary.

Cancer (June 21 – July 21)

Although it may not seem likely at the moment, you’re still benefiting from the influence of the bountiful Jupiter on your financial or business life. It remains in this portion of your chart until midyear. Between now and then a number of remarkable, and profitable, ideas and offers will appear.

Leo (July 22 – August 22)

Sometimes minor differences are no more than that. However, with so much changing so swiftly, simple misunderstandings can easily be neglected until they blossom into more serious issues. The minute you catch confusion of any kind, instead of ignoring it, make untangling it your first priority.

Virgo (August 23 – September 22)

When you’ve things to do, you persist until everything is finished. And if there’s more the next day, and the next, you don’t even consider stopping. Yet not only should you, when you take a break, you both rest and gain a much needed fresh perspective on those tasks.

Libra (September 23 – October 22)

Turning down requests that mean a lot to others is never easy. This is all the more difficult because you hate disappointing them. In one particular case, in fact, the individual in question mistook your response for a positive one. Clear that up now, and this time you’ll need to be blunt.

Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)

Everybody faces confusion when Mercury is retrograde, as is now the case. Yet because you’ve remained silent about certain plans, you may not hear about the changes triggered by this cycle as swiftly as others. Discuss what you’re doing more openly and, in turn, others will ensure you’re updated.

Sagittarius (November 22 – December 20)

Making plans swiftly may be efficient. However, with so many people organising things, then rethinking them, often within days, the foundation on which arrangements is shifting, and often. Ensure everything is flexible. While more time consuming initially, this will make your life a lot easier in the long run.

Capricorn (December 21 – January 19)

In late December your ruler Saturn moved into the most thoughtful and strategic portion of your chart. It would be fair to say you already analyse anything you undertake in depth. Still, this variety of analysis is very different. While somewhat confusing initially, you’ll learn a great deal from it.

Aquarius (January 20 – February 17)

It’s easy to blame the retrograde Mercury for all sorts of problems that would have arisen anyway. At the same time, you’re aware certain misunderstandings were inevitable, and are in fact, relieved that they’ve surfaced. These, too, are due to the influence of Mercury being in reverse motion.

Pisces (February 18 – March 19)

Having invested time in organising plans that are both promising and exciting, you must now focus on the practicalities. True, these are dull and worse, could mean rethinking some of what’s most inspiring. Still, these are better dealt with now, while it’s easy, than when in the midst of a crisis.
