Aries (March 20 — April 19)
Feeling restless? It’s no surprise. Admirable as the focus and discipline you’ve mustered over the past months has been, it’s also been exhausting. Fortunately, you’ve already been benefitting from Jupiter’s stunning alliance to Uranus, which is positioned in Aries and introduces thrilling, if unexpected, ideas and offers and potentially life-changing opportunities.
Taurus (April 20 — May 20)
There’s a difference between being honest, which can mean telling the truth, but only that which you know others are ready to hear, and being forthright. This is about addressing both circumstances and your views fully and openly. While this could ruffle a few feathers now, you’ll avoid misunderstandings later.
Gemini (May 21 — June 20)
Having done everything you could to avoid it, circumstances are forcing you to come down hard on one particular individual. You rather admire their carefree attitude. But, unfortunately, it’s led to problems for you and for others. While you may remain friends, there’s no way you’d rely on them again.
Cancer (June 21 — July 21)
By no means are you secretive. Yet it wouldn’t occur to you to mention certain personal issues and those involving close relationships. Usually this doesn’t matter. Now, however, it’s worth talking these over with somebody you trust. Their views and advice could be more helpful than you’d believe possible.
Leo (July 22 — August 22)
Recently you’ve had to devote a great deal of time to either certain family members or domestic matters. While there was no question about these coming first, now that things are more settled, you need a break. You’re about to get it, although quite possibly not in the form you’d anticipated.
Virgo (August 23 — September 22)
In early September your ruler Mercury moved to accent financial, business and practical matters and since then, you’ve been dealing with exactly that. While it hasn’t exactly been fun, you’ve achieved more than you’d imagined possible. Still, you’ll undoubtedly be delighted to learn this cycle ends on the 27th.
Libra (September 23 — October 22)
Long ago you learned that there are several ways to make your point. And since, at the moment, you can’t be forthright, you’ve no choice but to take a diplomatic approach. This requires thought. Your priority is ensuring others realise that, despite the measured way in which you’re expressing yourself, you mean business.
Scorpio (October 23 — November 21)
The move by Mars, planet of energy and ego, into Scorpio in late July, began a six-week cycle that was all about you. Having previously focused almost exclusively on others’ needs, your interests took priority. Now, as this is coming to an end, you’re realising just how much you’ve dealt with.
Sagittarius (November 22 — December 20)
You don’t think of yourself as proud. But either you’ve already refused somebody’s offer of help or are about to, and because you’re confident you can deal with the issues in question yourself. Actually, you can’t. It won’t be easy, but go back and say yes. You’ll be glad you did.
Capricorn (December 21 — January 19)
Of the twelve signs, you have perhaps the best understanding of the importance of taking a strategic approach, especially in difficult situations. Now that Mars has moved into the portion of your chart that accents exactly that, you’ll find that in several situations even you must think carefully about what’s best.
Aquarius (January 20 — February 17)
For you, as an Aquarius, loyalty is central to important relationships. Recently, certain individuals haven’t been behaving as they used to. In fact, their attitude seems causal and uncaring. That may be true. Or, perhaps, their idea of what constitutes a close relationship may have become very different from yours.
Pisces (February 18 — March 19)
Watching arrangements you worked hard to organise come undone isn’t just disillusioning, it’s a disappointment. You thought certain individuals would fight to keep these going. But not everybody cares as much as you do. What’s more, they may be right to look ahead. Something better is about to appear.
If it’s your birthday today
The concept of speaking for yourself seems simple. But it’s more complex than you’ve anticipated. While you may know what you want to get across, the position of your ruler Mercury in your birthday chart accents the need to assess how your words are likely to be received by others, to consider what might need explanation or even be upsetting. This may seem a lot but it’s key to worthwhile discussions, however short or long.
