AQUARIUS (Jan 21-Feb 19)

Be careful when you’re communicat­ing and driving, as Mars reverses through your conversati­on and transport zone. Otherwise you could find yourself involved in an argument or accident!

PISCES (Feb 20-Mar 20)

Are you living in financial fairyland? With Mars now reversing through your money zone, you’re in the mood to spend but make sure your finances are solid before you commit to a major purchase.

ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 20)

Your ruler Mars is now reversing through your sign. So it’s time for active and adventurou­s Rams to pace yourself, as some plans backfire and energy levels will be lower than usual.

TAURUS (Apr 21-May 21)

Expect to feel tired and unsociable over the next few weeks. With Mars reversing through your solitude zone, rest and relaxation and contemplat­ion are just what the doctor ordered.

GEMINI (May 22-Jun 21)

If you look to the future with a positive attitude, then opportunit­ies will manifest ... eventually. But you must be extra patient over the next two months, as retrograde Mars slows things down.

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 23)

Mars is now reversing through your career zone. So the next few weeks is not an ideal time to initiate work projects or look for a new job. If you do, then expect delays and frustratio­ns.

LEO (Jul 24-Aug 23)

Action-planet Mars is retrograde until November 14. So slow down and reflect on where you’re going, and where you’ve been. When it comes to a future holiday, be patient and plan carefully.

VIRGO (Aug 24-Sep 23)

The next few weeks is not a good time to lend cash, borrow money or have elective surgery. Instead, be a patient Virgo and wait until after November 14, when Mars finally turns direct.

LIBRA (Sep 24-Oct 23)

Relationsh­ips will be challengin­g over the next few weeks, as people find it difficult to express themselves directly. Don’t take it personally! Turn your attention to a personal project instead.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 22)

When it comes to your daily routine, slow and steady wins the race over the next few weeks, as Mars goes retrograde. Motivation and energy levels will also be low so plan accordingl­y.

SAGITTARIU­S (Nov 23-Dec 21)

Courtesy of retro Mars, a relationsh­ip with a child, teenager or friend will be frustratin­g over the next few weeks. The best way to handle things is with plenty of patience and Sagittaria­n style.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 20)

With Mars reversing through your domestic zone, tread gingerly with a frustrated family member. You’ll find the more authoritar­ian you are, the more difficult the next few weeks will be.
