Aries March 20 April 19
Seeking advice is one thing. But being told what you’ve already organised needs to change and dramatically is another matter. Yet that seems to be what you’re facing. Irritating as having to discuss plans point by point and in detail may be, what you learn will more than justify the patience required.
Taurus April 20 May 20
Last week Uranus, the planet that accents new ideas and unexpected events, moved into Taurus for a lengthy stay. Knowing that, urgent as certain ideas or offers seem you’ve plenty of time to explore your options. The trick is to get involved and where you’re interested show it, but avoid lasting arrangements.
Gemini May 21 June 20
By no means are you resistant to change. On the contrary as a Gemini you thrive on new ideas. Still, intriguing as one particular idea or offer is it would mean handing control over to others completely. It’s worth it. What you learn about situations and from them will justify being more flexible.
Cancer June 21 July 21
There’s a difference between finding somebody who shares your ideas or vision for the future and the individual in question being reliable. While they might be, caution is wise at least initially. Their intentions may be good. However you’ll also want to ensure they will be there when the going gets tough.
Leo July 22 August 22
The problem isn’t the plans you’re making. They’re both inspiring and show progress. What’s worrying you is how you’ll disentangle yourself from certain long-standing arrangements. Discuss this frankly. Once you’re actually talking things over you’ll realise others are far more aware of your activities and even future plans than you think.
Virgo August 23 September 22
As a thorough and cautious Virgo, before you venture into new territory or even spend time with those who you don’t really know you like to learn whatever you can. But not only are things moving too swiftly for that in this particular case experience itself is by far your best teacher.
Libra September 23 October 22
Only days ago you were facing pivotal decisions but seemed to have few realistic options. Now things are changing and where before there was little to explore each day is offering something new and often intriguing. Learn as much as you can about these, conscious there’ll soon be yet other options to consider.
Scorpio October 23 November 21
Few things are more annoying than having worked hard to organise a plan being forced by events to rethink things. Actually this is no surprise. The recent powerful planetary activity will have shaken things up for every sign which means exploring various options with others is bound to be informative if not exciting.
Sagittarius November 22 December 20
Unsettling if not annoying as last minute changes in plans can be you really have no choice. In fact judging by Mercury’s powerful alliance with your ruler Jupiter every hour is bringing new ideas to discuss. Explore them all, but as there’s more to come later this week, for now put off solid commitments.
Capricorn December 21 January 19
While not every Capricorn is tidy, when it comes to making and carrying out plans you can be obsessively organised. So much you’ll struggle in an effort to keep existing arrangements as they are so have battled recent changes. Don’t. The more willing you are to make changes the more you’ll benefit.
Aquarius January 20 February 17
Planning ahead may be a virtue, but as you’ve undoubtedly noticed each day is introducing something new, exciting and often unexpected. Disruptive as some of what arises appears to be, make a point of exploring everything. What seems least promising now could as you learn more turn out to be fabulous.
Pisces February 18 March 19
If you have a sense of promise that’s no surprise. In fact it’s evidence of your Piscean intuition. You’re sensing the influence of Friday’s powerful link between fortunate Jupiter and your ruler Neptune. However since what seems good now could get better by then ensure that all your plans are flexible.
