Aries (March 20 – April 19)

Eager as you are to put the ideas you’ve discussed recently into action, with the actual situations in question still shifting, you’d regret it. If you must do something, approach plans in such a way that, as circumstances shift, you can easily reorganise arrangements to accommodate changes as they unfold.

Taurus (April 20 – May 20)

Hopefully by now you’ve recognised that what seemed nothing more than annoying obstacles last week were actually calling your attention to problems that needed to be dealt with. If you’d done that, you’ve probably also realised certain arrangements you regarded as settled need to be rethought, and soon.

Gemini (May 21 – June 20)

Although you’ve no objection to making decisions at the last minute, the choices you’re making could have a far-reaching impact on your way of living or working. Still, you’ve no choice but to plunge in. Do exactly that, but in such a way that you can rethink plans as you learn more.

Cancer (June 21 – July 21)

Because you know from experience how hurtful thoughtless comments can be, you’re cautious about your remarks, especially around those who you’re aware can be sensitive. Yet now you must address one particular issue frankly. Any less and you risk being misunderstood. Think carefully and you’ll find a balance between the two.

Leo (July 22 – August 22)

Promising as recent ideas or offers were, check out the facts carefully. These were inspired by the powerful link between your ruler the Sun and Neptune, which signifies both imagination and illusion. Before taking things further, you’ll want to make sure that you won’t be contending with either of the latter.

Virgo (August 23 – September 22)

The pivotal Virgo New Moon, and its accompanying insights, was a week ago. However, the odds are good you’re still mulling over various questions these raised. That’s handy, mostly because this gives you time both for reflection and, as important, to observe how changes in circumstances could reshape your thinking.

Libra (September 23 – October 22)

When your ruler Venus clashed with both practical Saturn and the hot-headed Mars, early last week, the problems that arose were probably as surprising as they were worrying. Since then, you’ll not only have learned a lot from these, you’re beginning to realise they weren’t nearly as worrying as they seemed.

Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)

If you’re still thinking about the complex issues revealed by the clash between the demanding Mars and your ruler Pluto, a week ago, it’s no surprise. You were aware of these, but had no idea how far-reaching they are. Now that you know, you’ll need to rethink existing arrangements and future plans.

Sagittarius (November 22 – December 20)

Planning ahead for the unexpected isn’t easy. But judging by the stunning alliance between your ruler Jupiter and Uranus, the planet that’s all about innovation, on the 25th, the more flexible your arrangements are, the better. Difficult as it is to say exactly what’s coming, it will be brilliant.

Capricorn (December 21 – January 19)

All too often life demands you make changes without having had time to learn what’s involved, and still less ask any questions. Yet recent developments have made it abundantly clear what must go. This is timely, as you’ve plenty of time to explore what’s next, even though arrangements are a trial run.

Aquarius (January 20 – February 17)

You’ve a knack for encouraging others to do their thing, if not take the lead. Yet at the moment you seem determined to organise certain arrangements your way, no matter what. Ironically, not until you hand the reins over to somebody else will you realise why you feel so strongly about this.

Pisces (February 18 – March 19)

Last Friday the Sun challenged your ruler Neptune, creating a series of situations that forced you to state your views. While, in most, you knew exactly what to say, in a few you realised you were unsure where you stood. If you haven’t thought these through since, it’s time you did exactly that.

If it’s your birthday today

There’s a fine line between noticing problems and allowing your remarks to turn into complaints. The difference is that, after defining the issue, you do what you can to deal with or change it. And if you don’t know what to do, you consult somebody who might. The challenge is, deep down, you feel you should know the solution. While, as a Virgo, you know a lot, there’s still plenty for you to learn, today and in the future.
