Taurus | April 19 – May 19



Although the actual Full Moon was several days ago, you’re still wrestling with the fallout from tense issues that boiled over. Timely as the resulting discussions were, everybody was uptight, including you. Now that the mood’s calmer, it’s worth talking things over. You’ll be amazed how easily even tricky matters are resolved.

Gemini | May 20 – June 20



It’s understandable that certain individuals are eager to turn the ideas you’ve been discussing for ages into plans, and those plans into action. Force issues now, however, and you’ll regret it. Clear cut as what you’ve already talked about seems, the actual foundation of those arrangements will shift, and shift again.

Cancer | June 21 – July 21



Sudden changes may be disruptive. However, you’re well aware that in certain situations, there’s only one way to get things moving, and that’s to surprise those who’ve been battling new developments . The timing couldn’t be better. Once those changes are in place, those who resisted them most will thank you.

Leo | July 22 – August 21



While there’s no arguing that certain situations have been stuck, in the sense there’s been little scope for growth or change, things have been fine as they are. Now, suddenly, not only do arrangements need a rethink, within days circumstances could lead to developments as unanticipated as they are seismic.

Virgo | August 22 – September 21



The time has come to ask questions that are likely to ruffle a few feathers. The irony is, you’ve already had to face exactly the same issues, and while it wasn’t comfortable, you learnt a lot. You’re now hoping you can use this method to clear up confusion involving others.

Libra | September 22 – October 22



Unsettling as the changes currently being discussed seem, the real problem is they’re a departure from anything you’ve previously done or experienced. That lack of knowledge has made you hesitant about taking things further. It is, however, the only way you can learn about this or, in fact, anything else.

Scorpio | October 23 – November 21



Sudden change is in the air. From your perspective it’s a bit like being in the midst of a thunderstorm, while it’s thrilling to watch, that doesn’t mean you’d be happy if lightning struck nearby. However, the changes you’re dreading are quite another matter. They’re not just natural, they’re long overdue.

Sagittarius | November 22 – December 20



Every once in a while, life itself takes over, making decisions on your behalf. These include what will work, what won’t and who you’ll undertake those plans with. This is just such a time. Out of character as relinquishing control in this way seems, your instincts are saying how wise it is.

Capricorn | December 21 – January 18



Within the coming week, you’ll probably have to bow to the demands of somebody you’ve been battling for ages. In part, you disagree with their logic. But they’ve also been such a nuisance, you’ve wanted to teach them a lesson. Give in now, or you’ll be learning the lesson from them.

Aquarius | January 19 – February 17



As much of a relief as dealing with various domestic, family and work-related matters has been, and you have accomplished a huge amount, you’re longing for a break. You’ll get it when Mars departs this portion of your chart on the 21st. Before then, tackle those few remaining tasks.

Pisces | February 18 – March 19



Every once in a while, logic seems to depart from everyday life. If that appears to be the case now, it’s no surprise. With Venus just concluding its retrograde cycle and Mercury in reverse movement until early May, errors are inevitable. Ironically, you’ll learn a lot from untangling that confusion.
