Aries (March 20 – April 19)

By no means are you rigid in your thinking or your habits. However, it’s not until circumstances force you to pause and conduct an analysis that you’ll notice where changes would be of benefit. Make them now and soon, if not overnight, you’ll realise how much easier life has become.

Taurus (April 20 – May 20)

The circumstances you’re dealing with require both frank exchanges and, with certain matters, a great deal of delicacy. While you’re more than capable of handling the resulting conversations with the necessary sensitivity, you’re less sure about others. Knowing that, if you can’t avoid the topic entirely, keep discussion to a minimum.

Gemini (May 21 – June 20)

It’s rare that you feel the need to be tough with anybody. Yet at the moment several individuals are taking you for granted. However easy-going your manner seems, you’re well aware who’s grateful for your company, ideas and enthusiasm and, equally, those who’re thinking of themselves and nobody else.

Cancer (June 21 – July 21)

Usually the line between life’s obligations and its pleasures is clear. But now, while you’ve no choice about certain tasks, you’ve found those that are challenging are also becoming a source of increasing joy. Give some thought to how you can organise other tasks so they’ll be as pleasurable.

Leo (July 22 – August 22)

There’s been a lot going on, so there’s lots to talk about. While ordinarily nobody takes such discussions seriously, now you must. They’re forming the foundation for a year of amazing growth. Knowing that, be more restrained than is your habit. The ideas and offers you’re considering need to grow in peace.

Virgo (August 23 – September 22)

For some months you’ve been tiptoeing around one particular issue, knowing those involved have passionate feelings. So much, you’ve feared clashes. Now that those seem inevitable, be prepared to face whatever they dish out, as aggressive or irrational as it may be, and to say what needs saying in return.

Libra (September 23 – October 22)

Sometimes the word no means “let me think about it”. On other occasions, however, it means exactly that the conversation has come to an end. While you’re an expert at sensing which is which, certain individuals aren’t nearly as sensitive to these subtleties. Remember this or there will be serious confusion.

Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)

You’re often puzzled at how certain individuals can be so incensed with a situation one day, then get over it the next. When you’re upset, it lasts. Often, in fact, you’ll remember until there’s been revenge in some form. Yet now, bizarrely, the New Moon has you ready to forgive and forget.

Sagittarius (November 22 – December 20)

When you’re swept by the excitement and enthusiasm that new ideas inspire, it’s easy to forget the impact of the resulting plans on others. Yet judging by the present planetary emphasis on those closest, personally and in-work relationships, it would be wise to discuss any plans with them. And now.

Capricorn (December 21 – January 19)

As a Capricorn, you’re capable of going it alone. But you prefer to have company, both in your working and personal life. And now, with the Sun, Jupiter and, as of the 31st, Mercury, all accenting joint ventures, the plans you undertake with others promise to bring all manner of rewards.

Aquarius (January 20 – February 17)

For you, it’s natural to go out of your way to avoid calling attention to the errors of others. Yet at the moment, one particular individual seems to enjoy discovering, and announcing, the faults of those around them. Including you. Be patient. They’re mid-crisis. Once it’s resolved, they’ll behave better.

Pisces (February 18 – March 19)

Are you feeling restless? It’s no surprise. You’ve not only had a range of burdensome responsibilities to take care of, you haven’t had much of a break. That’s coming, so soon, in fact, that you’re urged to tie up any loose ends. This ensures you can move swiftly when the opportunity arises.
