Eventually, you’ll have to confront somebody who can be amazingly stubborn. While, understandably, you’re lining up facts for anticipated clashes, first review the actual issues. In some cases while your plans or ideas are probably better, there isn’t that much difference. In fact, letting others have their way may be more efficient.

It’s rare you undertake changes without thinking things through first. Yet even you are likely to have missed certain details, mostly because until recently they seemed unimportant. While this chaotic approach to decision-making isn’t usually your style, judging by the circumstances in question, it’s unlikely you could have avoided these. Take it slowly and focus on the details involved, and what you can learn from them. 

For you, life’s become an adventure. First, from mid-December, comes a cycle that’s about shedding past ideals, goals and maybe habits. While, initially, this is unsettling if not worrying, during January you’ll begin spotting new ways of living, working and even thinking, some on your own but as many involving others. From this point, the new cycle you’re experiencing shift from being puzzling to inspiring, if not exciting. The trick? Temporarily ignore your cautious, analytical side and let experience be your guide. You’ll never regret it.

Being ruled by the quick-thinking Mercury, you gather facts and turn them into lasting plans with amazing swiftness. Yet, as a sensible earth sign, you’ll be aware that before you can commit to anything truly far-reaching, you need to review what you’ve done and, even more, your future direction. This is wise. Take it slowly, aware that things are unlikely to come together until the courageous Mars moves into Virgo, on 29 July, to remain until mid-September. By then, both circumstances and your priorities for the future will be clear enough you can plunge in with enthusiasm and confidence. The questions you’ll be asking will also get you thinking about elements of your life you’ve regarded as unchanging. Once, they were. However, doors are opening, in ways as unexpected as, often, they’ll seem miraculous.
