You’ll want to make amends after feeling like you’ve missed out on shared activities. However, you must manage both your expectations and those around you, who’ll feel extremely disappointed if you overpromise. Make plans, but keep reminding everybody to remain flexible in their thinking until you’ve been given the green light by associates who know best.

Have you allowed somebody to silence you when you’d have liked to state your views on a worldly matter? With Jupiter reaching the high point of your chart, you’ll gradually feel that you’re as confident and well informed as whoever else is involved. But resist the temptation to single out one individual as having created the problem.

Faced with cynical comments, you’ll let your stubborn streak insist that you manage a partnership or joint endeavour your way. But that’s not fair to other interested parties. It’s far better to enter into negotiations that allow everyone to air their views and find a strategy that keeps all parties happy.

Aspects of your romantic or creative streak have been curbed recently, but rest assured that change is on its way. In fact, by late May, someone special should be willing to invest in your ideas and trust you every step of the way. Remember though: There’ll no longer be room for self-doubts on your part.

While certain individuals insist on discussing your long-term future, the lunar eclipse on 26 May means you’ll be more interested in travel plans or home and family developments. You obviously wouldn’t want to cause offence, so at least pay lip service to ways in which your reputation or finances might be enhanced.

Juggling your private life with your responsibilities in the wider world may have proved tricky, but news will soon arrive to convince you that somebody is willing to back you all the way. You won’t be relieved of ongoing commitments entirely, but you’ll feel better knowing you’re no longer expected to struggle alone.

Much as you might dispute the claims of friends or relatives when it comes to domestic issues, you mustn’t lay down the law. The Sun’s run-in with Saturn suggests you might assume authority to which you’re not really entitled. Make an effort to foster an atmosphere that’s collaborative and cooperative rather than power-based.

Exciting though it may be to be part of some kind of joint effort, it’s important to know what you’re expected to contribute and what might be the likely outcome. The danger is that you’ll assume you’ll be on the receiving end of something far more rewarding or valuable than is actually the case. Ask questions.

Though a small group of individuals might challenge your ideas, you’ll be keen to handle a financial matter (or one involving possessions) in a strict and boundaried way. And so you should, as significant planetary shifts hint at the possibility of incompetence. You have a reputation to safeguard, so stick to the rules.
