Aries

March 21 to April 20

Mercury’s angle with Pluto may find you irritated if you and another can’t agree. The desire to say exactly what you think could be strong. Yet if you do speak out, you might alienate this person for a long time to come. Is this what you want? While you may not feel ready to compromise today, things can change soon. By next week you might have found a solution.

Taurus

April 21 to May 21

Feel put on the spot? If so Taurus, just stick with the facts or the truth and you’ll be fine. Issues can arise if you’ve told a small white lie to get out of a difficult situation. It might come back to haunt you. On the other hand, Mercury’s angle to Pluto could coincide with a desire to expose a situation you feel strongly about. Be sure this is the best way to deal with it before going ahead.

Gemini

May 22 to June 21

Have an instinct that something needs looking into? If so, the current line-up could spur you on to find out more. An awkward angle suggests you’ll find out something that you really needed to know. What you do about it is another matter. Plus, with light-hearted vibes showing up, there’s ample opportunity for delightful meetings and outings with a chance to reminisce, Gemini.

Cancer

June 22 to July 23

If you don’t agree on something, you’ll need to say so, Cancer. Otherwise, you’ll have to put up with the consequences. As key planets square off, your desire to get your point across could seem urgent. Whoever this involves, the sooner you draw that all-important line in the sand the better. Plus, you may be inspired to connect with a teacher or a teaching that opens new doors.

Leo

July 24 to August 23

Getting too emotionally involved in matters could prove overwhelming and draining, while refusing to get drawn into such situations can leave you at peace. A major aspect involving Mercury hints that you may be preoccupied with a matter that won’t go away. Looking for a respite? Involving yourself with new people and activities might help put it in perspective.

Virgo

August 24 to September 23

The Moon in your sign means it’s time to give yourself some leeway, especially if you’ve been overdoing it lately. What do you feel about the key issues going on in your life? If you haven’t had time to tune in, then try it now. You may get a clear understanding of why things are as they are and what you can do about it. Plus, this is a time of opportunity for you, so stay alert, Virgo!

Libra

September 24 to October 23

You may not be in the mood to bite your tongue and spare someone’s feelings if a conflict has been building between you. It could come to a head, and as stubborn as you might feel about an issue, rest assured, they feel just the same. Want this relationship to continue? You’ll need to find a way out of this impasse. If you aren’t too bothered, then it can be goodbye for now, Libra.

Scorpio

October 24 to November 22

Lunar ties can be a call to connect the dots, and put things in perspective so that you know where you’re going. And yet Mercury’s angle with Pluto could make you hyper-critical, and you might blame yourself for anything that’s gone wrong. Even so Scorpio, over the coming weeks you’ll realise this isn’t true, and that everything is currently working towards the best outcome.

Sagittarius

November 23 to December 21

With the Moon scudding across your sector of ambition and responsibility, both head and heart may be focused on the tasks you need to do to keep things on the move. More urgent matters might also be on your mind, and perhaps you need to be kinder to yourself in this regard. With Mercury in Taurus angling towards Pluto, you’ll feel you should speed up, but try to slow down.

Capricorn

December 22 to January 21

While certain plans might be heading to a happy conclusion, there may be one that appears to have come to a halt. If things have reached a dead-end, then you could be more than ready for a breakthrough. Paradoxically, this can happen not by overthinking things but by allowing your intuition to lead the way. Some downtime might allow your natural genius to come to the fore.

Aquarius

January 22 to February 19

Connecting with people online and off, could give you much food for thought. With a strong focus on your sector of communication, you may benefit from getting to know someone with a sassy approach to life. Their uncompromising honesty and courage might fire you up to rethink some of your ideas and principles. What you learn from them can be priceless, Aquarius.

February 20 to March 20

If there has been an imbalance of give and take in your life, the Mercury/Pluto angle could encourage some discussion. Have tensions been building?

Don’t be too quick off the mark to voice your irritation, Pisces.
