Aries | March 20 – April 18
While you understand that dealing with certain tasks demands routine, that doesn’t mean you like the idea. On the contrary, it’s boring. Still, at the moment certain tasks require exactly that degree of focus. Rather than battle these, plunge in. Give it a try. The odds are good you’ll enjoy yourself.
Taurus | April 19 – May 19
For weeks you’ve been tolerant about the rudeness of one particular individual, towards you but also regarding others. They’ve little respect for anyone else’s time, so are often late, but once they arrive, they’re distracted. While you can’t improve on their general attitude, you can ensure they’re punctual and well behaved with you.
Gemini | May 20 – June 19
By no means are you narrow minded. Yet in certain situations you’ve turned down intriguing ideas or offers others insist are thrilling. And mostly because this would mean altering certain habits. The odds are good, however, this isn’t about those habits but, rather, you’re anxious about venturing into the unknown.
Cancer | June 20 – July 21
Judging by the powerful planetary activity involving the unpredictable Uranus between now and the Full Moon, on the 18th, even simple arrangements are unlikely to last as they were first organised. Knowing that, talk everything through in detail and, equally, ensure plans can be easily altered if not changed substantially.
Leo | July 22 – August 21
Planning ahead is wise, especially the dull practicalities you tend to ignore until the last minute anyway. Yet judging by the changeable nature of the coming weeks, you’d need to rethink those plans, probably frequently. The secret is to outline your objectives but ensure that what you organise is flexible.
Virgo | August 22 – September 21
True, certain matters seem pressing. But with the Sun positioned in the most strategic portion of your chart and remaining there until the 22nd, when it moves into Virgo, you’re urged to weigh up your priorities. Clear as these seem, circumstances have changed, enough you need to give these a rethink.
Libra | September 22 – October 21
Intense as recent clashes were, it seems there’s little fallout from them. Others are in a good mood and nobody’s mentioning the issue in question. Yet you note a certain distance and are worried. While you needn’t be, the actual situation remains unresolved, so is bound to resurface.
Scorpio | October 22 – November 20
Certain arrangements on the domestic or work front may seem solid. Still, the Full Moon, in a week’s time, is likely to kick-start a series of changes. While some may constitute improvements, others could seem worrying, at least initially. Once you explore them, you’ll realise how timely they are.
Sagittarius | November 21 – December 20
By now you’ve undoubtedly realised even simple plans are unlikely to last long. This has little to do with what you’ve organised and everything to do with the fact so much is unsettled. Instead of grumbling about this, take advantage of these changes to explore unfamiliar territory. You’ll learn a lot.
Capricorn | December 21 – January 19
Only days ago, you’d have battled to keep certain longstanding arrangements going. Since then, however, you’ve had a chance to think about how much you invest in terms of time, effort and, perhaps, heart and what you get in return. Viewed from that angle, you might be better off saying farewell.
Aquarius | January 20 – February 18
Positive as the coming week’s events will be in the long term, you may not be that happy about them now. In fact, those that are disrupting far-reaching arrangements may seem a disaster. Yet if you’re to take advantage of what’s coming, there’s no choice. These must change or go.
Pisces | February 19 – March 19
Yet again you’ve been backed into a corner, and all because you’ve put the needs of others first. The real problem is that certain selfish individuals don’t realise you’ve made changes to accommodate them, at some cost to yourself. Worse, mention it and they’ll neither acknowledge it nor thank you.
