Aries (March 20 – April 19)

Yet again you’ve got so caught up in life’s dramas that those closest have had to wait for your time and attention. Now that things are a bit quieter, the moment has come to shut everything else out and do all you can to reassure others they come first in your life.

Taurus (April 20 – May 20)

It’s unlike you to insist on having the last word, whether the conversation is an amiable chat or one in which conflicts are being discussed and dealt with. But now it’s very important that certain individuals understand your perspective on crucial matters, and you won’t rest until they do.

Gemini (May 21 – June 20)

The time has come to take a tough line. This may involve practical matters, your work or, perhaps, the individuals you rely on. While you prefer to take an easy-going approach, certain situations are spinning out of control, and it’s because others are being inattentive or just plain lazy.

Cancer (June 21 – July 21)

It’s been two years since the forceful Mars was in your opposite sign of Capricorn, which accents practicalities and close relationships. Since then, a lot has changed, in the world around you but also in your own life. Review existing arrangements and you’ll find some need to be updated.

Leo (July 22 – August 22)

Only weeks ago you’d have found those who insist on discussing tedious matters irritating. You had no intention of tackling these, so managed to sidestep them then. Now, however, not only are events giving you little choice, the pace and range of changes is far greater than you’d imagined possible.

Virgo (August 23 – September 22)

Celebrations are in order, although you may not realise why right away. This is because the demanding cycle during which the powerful Mars was accenting domestic and family issues has come to an end, and its emphasis is shifting to certain far more agreeable matters, those being love and life’s pleasures.

Libra (September 23 – October 22)

If you believe in someone or something, you’ll be loyal until the bitter end. Now, however, if certain arrangements are to survive, you must be prepared to undertake unsettling changes. Initially this may seem a compromise. Once you begin you’ll realise this is exactly what was needed all along.

Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)

When you began certain recent discussions, you had no intention of revealing anything to anybody, but that happened. And bizarrely, in a number of situations. Actually, according to the stars, that’s as it should be. Uncomfortable as these conversations may be, they’re not only necessary, they’re clearing the air.

Sagittarius (November 22 – December 20)

Sometimes it’s obvious that before you can take a step forward, you must take a few backwards. This could mean undoing arrangements, unloading possessions or even forgiving those whose words or actions you thought you’d never forget. Whatever the case, doing it now paves the way to a happier future.

Capricorn December 21 – January 19

Because it takes two years for demanding, courageous Mars to go through all twelve signs, it’s been that long since it was last Capricorn. Thus its move in your sign begins a cycle of both review and action. While it’s there until early December, you can expect things to begin moving swiftly.

Aquarius (January 20 – February 17)

Saying farewell to people or habits that have become an important part of your life may not be easy. Yet judging by your chart, you’re moving into a new chapter, and with that comes a change in the scenery and some of the cast of characters in your own personal drama.

Pisces (February 18 – March 19)

Long ago you learned there are certain individuals with whom you can discuss what your intuition tells you and others who simply don’t understand. This is the case now. What you learn over the next couple of days may not make sense right away. But gradually all the puzzle pieces will fit.
