Rather than avoid mentioning the elephant in the room, you should insist that you and someone close confront a sensitive issue. You’re too pessimistic about the likely consequence and remaining silent can only make matters worse. Despite some awkwardness when you first broach it openly and honestly, you’ll be pleased and relieved with the outcome.

No one could blame you for adding a new and inventive slant to ongoing areas of responsibility. But be prepared to stand your ground if others insist you’re getting it wrong. With Uranus opposing Mercury and the Sun, anything unorthodox will have to be defended pretty vigorously. But it should be worth it in the end.

Laugh off any suggestion that your creativity is adding little to some mundane ideas. Tell yourself that your critics are struggling to admit you’re actually making a good job of it. In fact, there’ll be a good chance that this could lead to something exciting and beneficial in the not-too-distant future. Wait and see.

Quite rightly, you’ll feel that friends or colleagues should adopt a grown-up attitude towards their ongoing commitments. But is it down to you to keep them on track? No. The Sun confronting Saturn mustn’t bring out that streak in you that’s overbearing within territory way outside your remit. Take a step back and keep quiet.

Any excitement about a journey or get- together mustn’t be depleted by pessimistic comments made by those on the sidelines. You’ve waited to fulfil plans that have had to be revised several times. So you mustn’t be discouraged at this stage by the unhelpful behaviour of people who would give anything to be in your shoes.

There’s no reason why you shouldn’t make enquiries about money coming in and going out. But you’ll be dealing with somebody who could become defensive, especially if you’re clumsy with your line of questioning. Handle facts and figures that’s about to be disclosed with the lightest of touches and don’t point an accusing finger at anybody.

Feelings of resentment about someone else’s behaviour will dissipate, to be replaced by empathy and understanding. In fact, the lunar eclipse in your sign will leave you wondering whether you’ve always been a little too harsh on this particular individual. Is it too late to show a different, more sympathetic, side of your nature? No.

Your instincts are about to tell you that somebody needs help regarding health and wellbeing— and you might be the right person for the job. However, before you make your first move, be sure to have the latest data and information to hand. This isn’t a field in which you can afford to make mistakes.

Those hinting that you’re overspending on luxuries or off-duty activities probably mean well. But that won’t prevent you from feeling you’re being criticised unfairly. Instead of waging war, it would be far better to ask yourself why it matters that these individuals disapprove of what you’re doing. And of course, it doesn’t really, does it?

Just at the point at which attention starts shifting from plans or projects with which you’re involved, influential people will ask questions and make useful comments. So promise yourself that you’ll redouble your efforts and let everybody see that they’re certainly not wasting their time or energy by investing in you and whatever you’re doing.

Don’t be afraid to broach an awkward topic with a special friend or companion. You’ve procrastinated for long enough so you should make good use of Jupiter allied to the Sun and resuming a forward direction. Everything should turn out brilliantly provided you have great respect for the other person concerned and masses of optimism.

The time’s approaching when shared initiatives or finances will have to be reviewed. But don’t assume you’ll meet resistance from whoever else is involved. Having been conflict-averse within the area concerned, you’ve allowed things to fade into the background rather than bring them out in the open. That’s what you must do any day now.
