Aries (March 19 – April 19)

Frustrating and, perhaps, unfair as the setbacks you’re facing seem, they’re in your best interests. You’ve been coasting along with certain arrangements for a very long time. Now, you’re being prompted to focus on these. They must now be reviewed and either updated or, as is more likely, come to an end.

Taurus (April 20 – May 19)

Of the 12 signs, you’re most easygoing about individual quirks, even annoying ones. However, there’s one trait that upsets you, and it’s those who keep information that would be useful for others to themselves. Before drawing any conclusions, ask the person in question why. Their response will explain everything.

Gemini (May 20 – June 21)

Issues have been troubling close friends or colleagues and, in turn, overshadowed your relationship. Now these are coming to a head. Tempting as it is to give others advice, you’d regret it. Instead, plan to do a lot of listening. This will mean far more than you realise.

Cancer (June 22– July 22)

Often petty disputes are exactly that. Now, these could expose either previously undetected errors or past misunderstandings. However, you won’t necessarily be able to spot these easily. Knowing that, be prepared to ask a few questions and, if necessary, delve into the matters in depth. It will be worth the effort.

Leo (July 23 – August 22)

You may not be in the mood to stand your ground with somebody who’s tricky on the best of days. While you’ve sidestepped aggravating discussions, the issues you’ve been avoiding have only become more complex. On the plus side, confronting these now enables you to deal with them all at once.

Virgo (August 23 – September 22)

It’s natural you’re eager to turn recent exciting ideas or offers into action, and those actions into commitments. While you’re encouraged to explore everything coming your way, it’s far too early to settle on one plan, and still less to organise arrangements involving others. There’s lots more yet to surface.

Libra (September 23 – October 22)

Only now are you realising the ideas one particular individual proposed and, perhaps, the arrangements you agreed to aren’t going to happen. These were a fantasy, conjured by somebody who enjoys creating what are little but fairy tales. Acknowledge that, learn from the experience, then firmly let it go.

Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)

Usually being truthful is a virtue. Stick to the facts now, and you’ll be forced to reveal the unwise antics of one particular individual. This would be unpleasant for you and could cause them serious embarrassment. The best strategy is to disappear discreetly until this blows over, which it soon will.

Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)

Planning ahead may be a virtue. Do too much of it now, however, and you’ll only create problems. The trick is to organise things enough you know what’s coming, but not so precisely that the inevitable changes would cause problems. Better yet, as you consider potential arrangements, explore other possible options.

Capricorn (December 22 – January 20)

For some weeks you’ve managed to avoid discussing certain increasingly complex situations. Although this has been a relief, things are becoming even more complicated. Now that events are forcing these to the surface, rethink your strategy. Become actively involved while you’re still able to influence the outcome.

Aquarius (January 21 – February 17)

There are decisions. And then there are final decisions. The latter are made either when certain unchangeable arrangements must be agreed or, equally, those involved must make life-changing commitments. Final as the decisions you’re making seem, they’re actually only part of a cycle of change.

Pisces (February 18 – March 18)

Somebody in particular isn’t just being unreasonable, there’s no hope of discussing certain crucial issues, at least now. That being the case, busy yourself with other matters. Once these are dealt with, you’ll have a sense of accomplishment and, happily, the individual in question will be in a better mood.

If it's your birthday tomorrow...

Discussing new ideas is one thing. Actually experiencing the events that will turn those ideas into action, and that into part of your life, is another matter. Uncomfortable, unsettling or even worrying as these are, your instincts are correctly telling you they’re timely. The trick is to explore absolutely everything, ideally with an open mind. Once you get involved, you’ll be amazed how unnecessary, and inaccurate, those doubts and anxieties were.
