Aries (March 20 – April 19): Flexibility is Key
If you’re into astrology, you’ll be aware there are periods when the planet of ideas and communication, Mercury, appears to be moving backwards, or is “retrograde”. This often triggers confusion. It’s retrograde from December 13 until January 2. Knowing that, ensure your plans are flexible.
Taurus (April 20 – May 20): Patience Will Pay Off
Only days ago, you were hoping that certain plans could become reality and that certain uncooperative individuals would be willing to join in. However, recent setbacks are worrying. While your concerns are understandable, be patient. Within a short time, things will fall into place, and almost by magic.
Gemini (May 21 – June 20): Embrace the Unexpected
Everybody likes to hear good luck is on its way. Not only is that the case, while some developments will be exactly what you’ve been hoping for, other events will be so unexpected you may not recognise their promise, right away, so make a point of exploring everything. You won’t regret it.
Cancer (June 21 – July 22): Flexibility in Planning Ahead
Usually, planning ahead isn’t just wise, it’s a relief to know what to expect and when. However, you may already have realised that you, and the rest of the world, are in a period of twists and turns. You can still make plans. The secret? Ensure they’re flexible enough to ride out ongoing changes.
Leo (July 23 – August 22): Spotting Others’ Mistakes
The suggestion that you’re about to be disillusioned may not sound promising. Once you know more and you’re talking things over with others, you’ll realise this is literally about spotting others’ mistakes, that is, errors they’ve been concealing with lies. Once the facts are clear, you can put things right.
Virgo (August 23 – September 22): Balancing Obligations and Joys
Under ordinary circumstances, you’d usually focus on dealing with obligations or practical tasks before shifting your attention to life’s joys. At the moment you’ve no choice but to blend the two. While, initially, you may worry it will be confusing, the more you do, the clearer it all will be.
Libra (September 23 – October 22): Embrace Changes for Timely Breakthroughs
Life would be easy if your carefully crafted plans proceed as you intended. However, judging by the current unsettling planetary activity, changes are inevitable. While these are bound to be unsettling, they could well lead to timely breakthroughs. The challenge? They’re unlikely to appear in the form you expected.
Scorpio (October 23 – November 21): Clear Communication is Key
In the past, your efforts to sidestep tricky issues have only led to confusion, if not serious problems. Now, increasingly, you’re choosing to explain problems clearly and in detail, then talk things through. In fact, at the moment, this is your best option. Worrying as this seems, things will go surprisingly well.
Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21): Explore Promising Opportunities
While the yearly Sagittarius New Moon took place a few days ago, you’re still experiencing the fresh perspective and breakthroughs that come with it. Mostly, the benefits were obvious. However, it’s worth checking out those that seemed less promising. Once you’ve learnt more about them, you’ll be glad you did.
Capricorn (December 22 – January 19): Recognizing Different Values
Certain people say you’ve no sense of humour. Actually, you do, but their careless approach to honesty or to commitments to others isn’t amusing. In fact, in certain cases, it’s been embarrassing. While you can’t change their thinking, you can keep in mind how different their values are from yours.
Aquarius (January 20 – February 17): Be Frank About Your Intentions
As an inquisitive air sign, you’re usually the first to spot and to investigate new ideas. While your interest is sincere, ensure that’s not mistaken for an intention to get involved. It’s happened in the past and, if you’re not careful, it could happen again. Clear cut as this is to you, be frank with others.
Pisces (February 18 – March 19): Embrace Frank Discussion
True, many worry about the period when the ideas planet Mercury is retrograde, or moving backwards in the heaven, as it will be until early January. However, the current cycle accents frank discussion, often triggered by untangling those minor mistakes. That being the case, the more questions you ask, the better.
Birthday Chart (March 20 – April 19): Embrace Change for Personal Growth
You don’t think of yourself as stubborn and, mostly, you’re not. However, the planetary setup in your birthday chart accents the importance of rethinking, if not substantially altering, certain habits. While once these helped speed you to organising your life and achieving a range of goals, they’re now distracting, if not delaying exactly that. The solution? Allow your inquisitive side free rein, and give serious thought to both potentially unsettling changes or, equally, unexpected ideas or offers. The more you explore, the more you’ll benefit.
