A source of irritation between yourself and someone special may get out of hand.
CANCER
22 JUNE - 23 JULY
A source of irritation between yourself and someone special may get out of hand. Rather than rush to your own defence at the first hint of trouble, you should suggest that the two of you take a break and allow yourselves breathing space. Truth is, you’re fighting over something that actually has no substance or significance.
LEO
24 JULY - 23 AUGUST
Aspects of your work or ongoing responsibilities are likely to become more complicated than usual. Don’t be afraid to tackle one or two people who seem keen on making your life more difficult. Use the extra dynamism provided by a Pluto-Mars clash early in the month to prove you’re anything but an easy target.
VIRGO
24 AUGUST - 23 SEPTEMBER
Those expecting you to come out fighting when faced with a challenge are about to see a different side of you. Circumstances will force you to admit that you can achieve a lot more by adopting a conciliatory approach, rather than an aggressive one, with people who seem to enjoy seeing sparks fly. Why not spoil their fun?
LIBRA
24 SEPTEMBER – 23 OCTOBER
You’re right to resent someone casting doubts over the way you manage your home or family. When circumstances demand it of you, you’ll assert yourself pretty vigorously. Don’t even stop to ask why you’re on the receiving end of such offensive behavior—just focus on bringing it to an end, once and for all.
SCORPIO
24 OCTOBER – 22 NOVEMBER
With so much cosmic energy flooding an important sector of your chart, you might think you’re obliged to take on everybody’s problems and fight their battles for them. Far more important is one particular facet of your own life to which you’ve given insufficient thought recently. You’re allowed to put yourself first at times like this.
SAGITTARIUS
23 NOVEMBER – 21 DECEMBER
Respond positively to those calling on you to inject colour and creativity into a set-up that’s becoming dull or mundane. But act quickly, because around 21 July, when the Sun squares up to Uranus, a rival or competitor could come up with all sorts of schemes that might thwart your plans. Stay well ahead of the game.
CAPRICORN
22 DECEMBER - 20 JANUARY
If a much-wanted deal or arrangement gets off to a slow start, you must be patient. By pushing too hard, you’ll be in danger of antagonising the other person or persons involved and you could end up losing out. News arriving fairly late in the month should provide you with a new and different take on the situation.
AQUARIUS
21 JANUARY – 19 FEBRUARY
From the beginning of the month, you may wonder why a relationship or formal set-up is making you anxious. Much should be revealed after 9 July, under the influence of the full moon in Capricorn. You’ll be able to decide what is, or is not, worth worrying about. Knowing what you’re really up against can be extremely empowering.
PISCES
20 FEBRUARY – 20 MARCH
No one needs to tell you how little self-care you practise. Deep down, you know that a period of rest and self-indulgence is overdue. You might invent all sorts of reasons as to why it’s impossible to slow down, but who are you kidding? If you can make time for everything and everybody else, why not for yourself?
ARIES
21 MARCH – 20 APRIL
Loved ones or friends may hide their feelings regarding a situation with which you’re closely involved. Don’t keep pushing for answers and explanations.You don’t want to irritate them at a time when you have more important things to think about. Tell yourself they’re playing a game that you do not need to engage in.
TAURUS
21 APRIL – 21 MAY
Holidays and travel ventures will be under discussion, but so too will the opportunity to enhance some aspects of your home and family life. Someone with a hidden agenda may try to manipulate you into making a decision that goes against your best instincts. Don’t do it. Your judgment is to be trusted, now more than ever.
GEMINI
MAY 22 - JUNE 21
People may assume you’re fully acquainted with certain restrictions on financial or business wheelings and dealings. But around 10 July, when the Sun opposes Pluto, developments might make everyone realise that nothing is as straightforward as first thought. Dig deep and dredge up every relevant detail so as to ensure that you’re operating on safe ground.
