Aries | March 20 – April 18
Although the New Moon took place last weekend, you’re still reflecting on both discussions with others and the amazing, if unexpected, insights you gained. There’s no rush to draw any conclusions, since this links to August’s eclipsed New Moon, which will trigger changes and usher in even more powerful insights.
Taurus | April 19 – May 19
The time has come to stand your ground over one particularly tricky issue. While, understandably, you were hoping this could be avoided, that’s becoming increasingly unlikely. Once you raise this matter, others will be so relieved to be talking it over, and in relative harmony, that they’ll be cooperative, and in the extreme.
Gemini | May 20 – June 20
Recent battles were minor, at least in terms of the big picture. But they did you a favour, because in arming yourself to take a stance or confront particularly tricky individuals, you were forced to explore certain ideas you’d always dismissed as dull. You now realise how untrue that is.
Cancer | June 21 – July 21
At the moment, there’s a right way to disagree and one that will lead to only problems. That so-called right way involves making a bold statement, refusing to back up your words and saying no more. While out of character, it’s about bluffing your way through conflicts, and not being bothered with facts.
Leo | July 22 – August 21
The last thing you’re in the mood to do is justify both existing plans and the decisions you’re making to others. Yet what you learn in the process could force you to face certain facts you’ve been hoping don’t matter. They do. Once you acknowledge these, you can deal with them rationally.
Virgo | August 22 – September 21
Every once in a while, you encounter a situation or, on occasion, an individual that undermines your confidence. Not only is this the case now, the issues being highlighted have been on your mind for ages, so facing them is actually a relief. Discuss your concerns with others. They’ll offer amazing insights.
Libra | September 22 – October 22
Now that Mercury has moved into the most strategic and reflective portion of your chart, it’s time to focus on certain issues about which you are, quite simply, obsessed. These worry you constantly, yet you feel there’s nothing to be done. Examine them in depth and you’ll realise they don’t matter, not at all.
Scorpio | October 23 – November 21
While you didn’t mean to be secretive, your reluctance to discuss certain of your ideas or future plans has left others wondering what part they’ll play in your future life. While you assume they know where you stand, they’re less confident about the nature of your feelings or of your long term intentions.
Sagittarius | November 22 – December 20
Standing up to others when necessary is no problem. What’s more, you believe a proper argument clears the air. It’s just this would devour time you don’t have. Knowing that, proceed as you see fit, and then if others make an issue of your actions or views, you can work things out then.
Capricorn | December 21 – January 18
There are many ways of saying the single word ‘no’. Recently, in one already contentious situation, you’ve been unclear, mostly because you didn’t want to waste time on battles with somebody who thrives on such clashes. Despite this, you’re urged to stand up to them. You’ll be glad you did.
Aquarius | January 19 – February 17
You’re only now beginning to realise that you’ve been underestimating both the experience and the wisdom of one particular individual. Take time to explore both your own ideas and certain joint ventures with them. What you learn won’t just be interesting, it’ll offer a much needed fresh perspective on certain tricky situations.
Pisces | February 18 – March 19
Tempting as it is to agree with somebody who seems to make a specialty of being difficult, you’d soon regret it. The issues you sidestep now will only reappear, and in an even more contentious form. The trick is to clearly draw a line about the matters in question but discuss things in depth later.
