COMMENTSAries (March 21st–April 20th)Mercury forces a drama you had hoped you may avoid. Let me tell you why this is a good thing, for it saves you going back for more fiction. You’ll soon have the facts. Decisions you make in the next two weeks can be the making of you.

Those you think hold no power in today’s dealings are likely to hold far more than you could possibly imagine, my friend. Be nice and show manners to all you deal with. Decisions others have to make regarding your future will be made as part of a team.

The Sun in Capricorn sextiles to Neptune in Pisces and ensures you can’t help but follow your instincts, rather than facts and figures in business today. Slow your pace when trying to convince others, or they may think you’re trying to pull the wool over their eyes. Contracts signed this month can change your sign’s financial status.

The future is calling, but brings with it the need to find closure about the past. You’re done with family who take but never give, and although the initial break may shake you, you’re sure to be happier in the long run, my friend.

Difficulties are something your sign can eat for breakfast. Don’t pretend to be rattled by who’s said words which all are dissecting. You knew before they did they were going to let everyone down, and pretty soon you’ll also realise they did you a favour.

I know you would like to have more time to decide what you do next, but time is not on your side. That does not mean that luck isn’t though, for the stars back big bold moves. You know the kind you make once in a lifetime if you’re lucky. Are you ready?

If you don’t ask others, then you can’t take on board their opinion. But of course your sign is known for seeking their self-worth through others, and it’s why you’re a sign that deserves to be loved and cared for. Today you realise who’s willing to go the extra length at last for you.

For a sign such as you, patience and perseverance have a magical effect, ensuring difficulties disappear and obstacles vanish. If you believe in your dreams going forwards then others will back you. What you want is closer than you think.

Thoughts of the past, and the effect a close one had on you, make it hard for you to be normal today. It’s ok to have emotions, and what’s most important is that you process what these feelings really mean to you. Choices you make over the coming days can shape your future world.

Stop worrying about what others think and focus on you and your needs, Capricorn. Others are only attracted by the drama, not what the end result may be. In fact, they could care less once the gossip is quiet. Be brave and admit what you want.

The tension between you and a close one can be felt by others, if you were wondering, Aquarius. You see things for what they really are, and those who can’t make it hard for you to trust your instincts fully. Today the stars do the hard work for you and reveal others in their true colours.

Freedom you seek does not come with ease, but the important thing is; it can and will come, Pisces. Those you have to force the hand of do not resist, for they know this was all actually a long time coming.
