Aries (March 20 — April 19)
There’s a fine line between doing things your way, which is your preference, and recognising that certain rules and regulations can’t be ignored. While you could begin certain plans or projects without taking these into account, you probably can’t sidestep them entirely. Knowing that, ensure any arrangements you make are flexible.
Taurus (April 20 — May 20)
After a period that’s involved little but decisions about your circumstances, the lives of others and far-reaching plans, you’ve accomplished a lot. But you could use a break. You’ll get it. On Friday, your ruler Venus departs this portion of your chart and moves to accent love and life’s pleasures.
Gemini (May 21 — June 20)
By no means are you stubborn. You’re always interested in what others are doing and in intriguing activities. Yet you’ll dismiss one or two concepts without a word. This reaction is based entirely on the past and could, for that reason, keep you from exploring worthwhile new ideas. Think about it.
Cancer (June 21 — July 21)
Challenging as actually finding the right time to talk over one particularly worrying issue might be, once you’re actually discussing things, it will be easier. Still, ensure you resist the temptation to downplay potentially upsetting facts. If you’re to resolve things for good, these must be raised and dealt with.
Leo (July 22 — August 22)
Several times in the recent past you’ve tried to impose order on certain chaotic situations, but with little success. However, the current superb aspect between your ruler the Sun and Pluto suggests you’ll find a way to motivate others to take the initiative. That will make all the difference.
Virgo (August 23 — September 22)
Being thoughtful and diplomatic is always important, but especially so if sensitive issues are involved. Still, if you don’t state your views frankly, others could mistakenly assume you don’t care about certain matters when, in fact, the reverse is true. For now, forget about tact and say exactly what needs saying.
Libra (September 23 — October 22)
Ordinarily, making commitments while still unsure whether others’ plans are reliable would make no sense. Still, for your own sake, you must get things organised. Set up those arrangements. But do so in such a way that, as the inevitable changes arise, you’ll be able to discuss plans with others and rethink those arrangements.
Scorpio (October 23 — November 21)
While you long ago realised that some people regard every plan as tentative, one particular individual takes it to the extreme. Yet you’re still sometimes annoyed when they change plans midstream. Acknowledge that, whatever the setting, they’ll rethink arrangements and, when they make those changes, they won’t come as a surprise.
Sagittarius (November 22 — December 20)
Unlikely as it seems now, you’re about to begin perhaps the most exciting period of this year. On the 13th the dynamic Mars moves into Sagittarius, beginning a six-week cycle of action, encounters and growth. While you may already have some plans in place, what’s least expected could prove best.
Capricorn (December 21 — January 19)
Things that come too easy, as is likely to be the case with several developments during September’s first half, make you wary. You’re happy to work hard to achieve your objectives, so worry when thrilling offers come from nowhere. In this case, however, what’s arisen is just as good as it seems.
Aquarius (January 20 — February 17)
Nothing is worse than trying to make far-reaching plans when you’re unsure what you’re doing today, and still less, next week. Yet others need to know if you can join them in certain ventures. Tell them what you can, explaining these are your intentions but they, by no means, constitute a guarantee.
Pisces (February 18 — March 19)
Judging by the series of powerful planetary aspects to your ruler Neptune, last week and over the coming weeks, you’re in a period of questioning and review. While unsettling in the short term, events are encouraging you to reflect on whether consistently unrewarding arrangements should remain a part of your life.
If it’s your birthday today
There’s a powerful message in your birthday chart, and it’s to say exactly what you’re thinking, to ask the questions you want to ask and to express your feelings openly. This may be out of character, but if you’re to benefit from the Sun’s stunning alliance with the planet of truth and transformation, Pluto, this is no time to hold back. Take it slowly at first. Soon, however, you’ll realise just how powerful, and appropriate, being forthright is.
