Last week, the communication planet, Mercury and Uranus, which is positioned in Aries, formed a fantastic link. The resulting discussions are now turning into plans. Tempting as it is to try to organise things swiftly, it would be unwise. With frequent changes, even the simplest of arrangements should be regarded as flexible.
Taurus | April 20 – May 20
For ages you’ve known changes in elements of your domestic or working life were inevitable but you’ve successfully put them off. However, not only does the current New Moon accent these, it ushers in timely breakthroughs. Still, if you’re to benefit, you’ll have to take advantage of them.
Gemini | May 21 – June 20
Nobody is better at thinking and responding swiftly, even to complex developments. Nevertheless, even you could be confused by the range of events triggered by recent powerful planetary activity involving your ruler Mercury. That being the case, for now, focus on asking questions, not making decisions, however urgent they seem.
Cancer | June 21 – July 21
Tempting as it is to review recent unsettling situations, you’d regret it. You’ll get the answers you’re seeking, but not until certain as yet obscured facts surface. In the meanwhile, focus on looking after your own interests, especially in terms of your resources and finances. They need a bit of attention.
Leo | July 22 – August 22
Although there’s a New Moon every month, the current one is in Leo. It’s all about a fresh start. Ironically, however, you won’t necessarily recognise what’s worthwhile when it arises. That being the case, explore absolutely everything that comes your way. What seems least promising could turn out to be spectacular.
Virgo | August 23 – September 22
After several frustrating attempts at talking over delicate issues, you’ve nearly given up on these. Don’t. Now that your ruling planet, Mercury, which accents communication, has moved into Virgo, you’ll be delighted how, suddenly, both the timing of discussions and their outcome falls into place, in a way that’s almost magical.
Libra | September 23 – October 22
Your chart is all about exciting if surprising discussions with those you know or, possibly, unexpected but thrilling encounters. Whatever the case, and there could be several such scenarios, each is about a breakthrough. Some will involve difficult situations, while others will constitute ideas or offers as welcome as they are unanticipated.
Scorpio | October 23 – November 21
The recent misunderstandings triggered by difficult planetary aspects to your ruler Pluto could be easily mistaken as underhand manoeuvres. They’re not. But you won’t know that until you actually talk things over frankly. While that’s probably the last thing you feel like doing, those discussions will relieve your doubts within moments.
Sagittarius | November 22 – December 20
For weeks, if not months, you’ve been wrestling with tricky issues, many of which roused feelings of guilt or helplessness. This is unusual for you, which means you’ve been unsettled and, worse, had no idea what to do. Yet, now that you’re looking back, you’re realising just how much you’ve learnt.
Capricorn | December 21 – January 19
Challenging aspects that involve Pluto, which is positioned in Capricorn, are raising questions about certain matters you regarded as dealt with. Once they were. However, while times have changed and things have moved on, these arrangements haven’t. In fact, they’re holding you back. Acknowledge that and you’ll know what to do.
Aquarius | January 20 – February 17
It’s the rare Aquarius who’s happy sidestepping difficulties. In fact, of the twelve signs, you’re best at tackling problems and the people involved without turning the situation into a conflict. This skill will come in especially handy now, since you’ll be facing a range of issues, some minor, others more serious.
Pisces | February 18 – March 19
While an exchange of ideas about differing views can go amazingly well, and may already have worked, serious discussions are far trickier. Between the formality and feelings, you must be careful to be clear. And though you’re bound to be uptight, you can’t wander from the subject. You must ensure others take your words seriously.
