The Full Moon this week occurs in your sign. If there is any time to be noticed for something, it is now. The position you might want to take when it comes to any situation will be made quite clear by you. This won’t necessarily fit in with what others might want or expect, generating the need for them to reconsider.

Something you have been putting your energy into over the last 2 weeks might now require some rethinking, especially if you feel certain obligations take up too much of your time and might be better dropped.

Look at this as a first stage up to late October.

Developing greater personal freedom in the long term will be important.

There can be much to enjoy this week though there will be other situations that will provide some challenges.

You need to be creative with thinking or decision making to late October, especially if you are being put under pressure when it comes to the expectations of somebody else. Your focus will be to bring something to an end.

What is possible in the long term could become clearer, making you realise that what once seemed important might need to be rethought. This could be as a result of what someone else now wants or expects. You must not put your wishes to one side as there is the opportunity to fulfil those eventually, even if it is not obvious right now.

Don’t hesitate to either challenge or bring something to an end with somebody else if this will generate greater peace, balance or harmony to you on a personal level. This could bring some surprising things to the surface that you didn’t expect, making it necessary to rethink, to late September, the decisions you should make.

Your focus will move to finances to late September and this can have some sort of new beginnings attached, though this is a first stage. There could be final details you need to sort out so that you will be in a good position to handle any increase in responsibilities. The true position of somebody else could become more obvious.

You could come to the realisation, from now to late September, that it is better to scale down ideas you might have had late July to mid August to be able to take these things into the future successfully. Others might have bigger ambitions but you can be happier with small steps, allowing you to have a feeling of better control.

Somebody else could become surprisingly generous, which you might find hard to trust. When it comes to any definite decision making you need to take your time to late September. Matters will require careful contemplation especially in any situations where you need to scale back obligations rather than take new ones on.

You are in a position to late September to contemplate future plans and possibilities that you may have wanted from late July to mid August but could not finalise. You have the opportunity to engage with others and get a response. This could also have a lot to do with leaving the past behind up to 20th November so you can move on with a new life direction.

Something you thought had become evident since mid August where someone else’s decision making is concerned could again become more unknown to late September. It could be that they need to withdraw to make final decisions. These could involve taking your priorities into account as well as generating some sort of pleasure in life.

Interactions with other people can be pleasant on one hand but challenging on another when it comes to any situation where personal commitment from you is expected.

What should be aimed for in the long term can be communicated to late September, though this is a first stage. Winding things up is part of the process.

You could suddenly begin to realise that somebody else isn’t planning to be as agreeable as you have presumed.

This may make you wonder about exactly what might be building up behind the scenes that might prove difficult. Focus on what gives you greatest enjoyment and any decisions you need to make in these directions.
