Aries (March 20 – April 19)

Obviously, you’re excited about encountering an idea, an individual or even an adventure that promises to take you into exciting new territory. Judging by the current planetary setup, that’s exactly what you’re experiencing. Tempting as it is give this priority, be wary. The stars suggest it looks more promising than it is.

Taurus (April 20 – May 20)

If you’re still talking about recent emotional exchanges and, quite possibly, the resulting misunderstandings, it’s no surprise. Unsettling as these seemed at the time, the resulting discussions forced those concerned, including you, to speak frankly about your true feelings. While, initially, you were hesitant, the timing couldn’t have been better.

Gemini (May 21 – June 20)

Ordinarily, you’ve no problem discussing new ideas. In fact, you enjoy a lively exchange. At the moment, however, certain individuals are short of facts and grumpy about it as well. Tempting as it is to suggest other approaches, the less you say, the better. You’ll soon learn how wise this is.

Cancer (June 21 – July 22)

Although the Cancer Full Moon took place in the middle of last week, you’re still reflecting on the insights it triggered. While it’s time to discuss some, others will require more thought and reflection. Most off all, take it slowly. The resulting insights will be valuable now, and even more so in the future.

Leo (July 23 – August 22)

For ages you’ve managed to sidestep certain tedious matters, mostly in the hope that, eventually, they’d resolve themselves. Actually, it’s been the reverse. They’ve become more worrying. Still, that doesn’t mean you need to deal with them now. In fact, with any luck, others will take over on your behalf.

Virgo (August 23 – September 22)

In mid-December, your ruler Mercury went retrograde, that is, it began moving backwards in the heavens. This has just ended, and Mercury once again is moving forward. While this is an optical illusion, there’s no question about its power, and the value in paying close attention to this and other, similar, cycles.

Libra (September 23 – October 22)

Once you understand there’s no simple and agreeable solution for issues with others, you’ll realise that you’re better off being frank, if not forthright. Worrying as this is initially, ultimately you’ll be better off tackling conflicts as they arise. After that, things will go far more smoothly than you expect.

Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)

For ages you’ve been struggling to avoid changes you’ve feared would be as troublesome as they were pointless. Now destiny has taken over, and you’ve no choice but to proceed. Don’t battle these. Once you know more, you’ll realise these aren’t just wise, they’re in your best interests.

Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)

The last thing you want is to get stuck in an arrangement with somebody who not only dislikes changing things, they’re doing all they can to prevent essential developments. Don’t argue. Back off and allow destiny to take over. The problems that surface will argue your case for you.

Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)

Nobody is more determined than a Capricorn who has weighed up the options and made a decision. However, with the foundation on which those plans are based changing, and with worrying frequency, you’re better off ensuring that everything you plan or organise is flexible. You’ll soon learn the reason why,

Aquarius (January 20 – February 17)

True, you’re superb at convincing even the most stubborn of individuals that changes aren’t just wise, they’re urgent. The problem? You’re battling similar matters, yet refuse even to discuss the actual changes in question. In this particular case, you’re urged to back off and let destiny do its thing.

Pisces (February 18 – March 19)

Ordinarily you’re amazing at making others feel that they, and their plans and ideas, aren’t just of interest to you, but that you’re supporting them. At the moment, however, this would lead to problems. Tempting as it is to try to explain everything, for now make a simple statement. You’ve no choice but to back off.

If it's your birthday tomorrow...

While the period when the ideas planet, Mercury, is retrograde is best known for the confusion it triggers, in your particular case, even unsettling developments will prove to be in your best interest. The secret? Sidestep discussing the matters in question, ideally for several weeks. Once the dust has settled, others will realise how wrong they were, and you’ll be far more confident about the decisions you made and, equally, your plans for the future.
