Everybody makes last minute changes in plans from time to time. Others do and often you must too, as is the case now. The problem is, certain individuals are treating this as if it’s inconveniencing them, which is by no means the case. The solution? Ignore their complaints. They’ll forget them almost immediately.  

As you discovered last week, even seemingly minor differences are more complex than you realised. This has meant you’ve had to invest time and thought in getting to the facts, then reaching an agreement with others. While this will have been far more challenging that you anticipated, what you’ve learnt in the process of dealing with them will prove well worth the time and effort invested. 

January’s a major review. It’ll be demanding but more worthwhile than you’d imagined possible. The challenge? Those around you will be less enthusiastic about life and, even when things go well, they’ll complain constantly. There’s a trick. First, tend to your own plans. Then work on boosting others’ spirits. Encourage them to seek a more productive approach to obstacles. Mostly, however, this means backing off, ensuring they’ve vital space to make, and learn from, their own mistakes. And, equally, you’ll be discovering new joys of your own.

Knowing you need to make decisions is one thing. But during 2021, frequent and often sudden changes in your priorities or plans, or you own circumstances or those of others mean lasting plans ae unlikely, at least until midyear. Once that’s clear, instead of worrying about details, you’ll think about which elements of your life need to change, if not come to an end. Letting go won’t always be easy. However, the energy and determination triggered by fiery Mars’s move into Libra, on 15 September, kick-starts a cycle of exploration. This, in turn, prepares you for the fresh perspective that comes with the Libra New Moon, on 6 October. The result is a clarity that enables you to let go of the past and focus on the thrilling events that have already come your way, and will during the rest of the year.
