ARIES

March 20 – April 18

Just when you thought decisions involving elements of your work or lifestyle would go smoothly, they turn into tedious power struggles. Obviously, the resulting delays are irritating. But they’re actually doing you a favour, because they prevent you from finalising arrangements before Thursday’s eclipsed Full Moon, which promises dramatic developments that could change everything, and in a twinkling.

TAURUS

April 19 — May 19

There are few things you loathe more than being badgered by those who’re trying to impose their views on you. However, because planetary activity involves Pluto, which signifies both truth and transformation, others’ ideas could reveal vital facts, some of which could free you from restrictive beliefs or arrangements. Tempting as it is to ignore provocative statements, they’re well worth exploring.

GEMINI

May 20 — June 20

This week’s frank exchanges and unexpected revelations alter your perspective on numerous situations – and individuals – some dramatically and permanently. In most cases this is good, as it eliminates half-truths and a few outright lies. However, some of what you learn will be disillusioning, enough you might find yourself reconsidering plans you’ve simply assumed would proceed as previously agreed.

CANCER

June 21 — July 21

Either too much of your time or money has gone in one direction when it would have been better employed elsewhere, or somebody owes you bigtime. Or, possibly, both. This week’s events expose these, which means you must discuss delicate matters frankly and, perhaps, tread on a few toes. With Thursday’s eclipse forcing issues, this couldn’t be more timely.

LEO

July 22 — August 21

You dislike few things more than conducting a painstaking review of past issues. Tedious as this is, minor problems or misunderstandings could fester into something more serious. Only once you’ve actually discussed these will you realise how they were already undermining certain close relationships. Besides, the resulting insights – about others and yourself – prove invaluable, now and in the future.

VIRGO

August 22 — September 21

It could be difficult circumstances or a desire to avoid upsetting others that’s kept you from raising tricky situations. But with your ruler Mercury moving into Virgo and aspecting the uncompromising Pluto, these can no longer be ignored. Similarly, sudden changes in on-going arrangements force a serious rethink of unacknowledged habits. Both are significant, far more than you realise.

LIBRA

September 22 — October 22

For ages, you’ve avoided even mentioning potentially upsetting issues, fearing the resulting dramas. Now, because circumstances expose these, nobody can blame you. Yet others may still try. If so, be tough. As important, take this opportunity to reorganise things so they’re fairer to you and others. Maintaining this frankness ensures you avoid a repeat of these unfair arrangements in the future.

SCORPIO

October 23 — November 21

You believe that what others don’t know can’t hurt you. So, even the most sociable of Scorpios, keeps certain provocative facts and delicate feelings under wraps. Consequently, when these are exposed by events, you’re concerned. However, you soon experience a completely unanticipated freedom. Once you stop worrying, you realise how much effort to conceal these, and how little they matter.

SAGITTARIUS

November 22 — December 20

Agonising over decisions, even serious ones, isn’t your style. Tempting as it is to opt out of what could be lengthy debates about finances, personal and involving others, you owe it to yourself to get involved. The facts that emerge could have a lasting impact on your financial well being. This is a small price to pay for keeping up to date.

CAPRICORN

December 21 – January 18

Situations involving finances and partners, at work or at home, and are already chaotic and are complicated by unspoken issues and confusion about responsibilities. Raising these isn’t easy, but once you’re actually discussing them frankly, you’ll resolve them with amazing ease. Even more important, this enables you to tackle other persistent problems you thought you’d just have to live with.

AQUARIUS

January 19 — February 17

Bear in mind the difference between exploring every new idea or offer, which you must, and agreeing to any one. The more you’ve learned about and considered, the better prepared you’ll be for the sudden, unexpected and life-changing events triggered by Thursday’s Aquarius eclipsed Full Moon. Unsettling as some seem initially, what’s least likely could prove to be your best option.

PISCES

February 18 — March 19

Exciting as recently discussed plans seem, you’ve worried that putting these into place would upset others. But sudden events are forcing your hand. Go along with even seemingly disruptive changes. You may not understand why now, but those about whom you’ve been so concerned need a shake up of this nature to get them going. And so do you.
