Aries Mar21-Apr20

This week brings opportunit­ies to strike a deal and renegotiat­e an arrangemen­t. If you’ve been feeling as if you’re in a storm at sea, here comes a period of welcome calm. If your stress levels have been raised, they’re about to decrease. Take a few deep breaths and prepare for good news. Something that seems out of reach is about to become more achievable than you thought. Your imaginatio­n is being empowered, making you more effective, and more able to do what you want to do. If you’re overwhelme­d there’s a way forward.

Taurus Apr21- May21

It’s easy for us to overlook our talents. Since they come naturally to us, we find it almost impossible to evaluate them or think that everyone else hasn’t got the same abilities. We forget that other people need support in order to achieve what comes naturally to us. Something in your world (one of your attributes) has been taken for granted. This week, it’s time for you to receive the recognitio­n and respect you deserve. Hold your head high and enjoy the success that’s heading your way.

Gemini May22-Jun22

If you ever find yourself stuck in quicksand the best way to respond is to relax and stop panicking. The more you struggle, the more stuck you become and the more you sink. It’s much better to conserve energy and call for assistance. This week, you might find yourself in a situation that feels impossibly difficult to extricate yourself from. Yet, help is at hand. As your ruler turns retrograde, you don’t have to deal with a challenge alone. As long as you stay patient, the help you need will arrive in time. Feeling stressed and overloaded? Find a better way to cope.

Cancer Jun23-Jul23

“Sing like no one is listening, love like you’ve never been hurt, dance like nobody is watching and live like it’s heaven on earth”. It’s one of those sayings that is often found printed on cushions and tea towels. It reflects a spirit of hopefulnes­s and optimism that is, even in these challengin­g times of social distancing, a key factor in how we’re coming to terms with the new reality. It’s not impossible for you to have a very good week ahead. As long as you think magic might happen, you can make it happen.

Leo Jul24-Aug23

Back in the days when we were free to go where we wanted, theme parks with scary rides were hugely popular. Now, if we want to experience the rush of adrenaline that comes with intense anxiousnes­s, we have to watch a horror movie from our own sofa. An addiction to adrenaline is why some people’s lives are filled with conflict and tension. You don’t want any negativity in your life this week. All you need do is have faith in a happy ending to a recent developmen­t… and that’s what you’ll get.

Virgo Aug24-Sep23

As long as you have the right attitude this week, you don’t need to come up with a cunning plan or a cleverly thought-through strategy. If your attitude is positive, you’ll be laughing all the way to a very desirable conclusion. If you’re approach is pessimisti­c, though, you’ll probably end up crying. So, don’t do that. Let go of any negative expectatio­ns and, as your ruler turns retrograde, start hoping for the best. Even if it doesn’t look as if it’s on your horizon, a reward is making its way into your life.

Libra Sep24- Oct23

Is there trouble afoot? Not exactly… it’s just that you’re having to deal with a situation that could become troublesom­e. Since you’re wise enough to realise the benefits of dealing with difficulti­es before they grow into major challenges, you’re trying to head this issue off at the pass. Yet you need to be careful that your efforts aren’t making a mountain out of a molehill. As Mercury turns retrograde, try not to get caught up in your concerns. If you can rise above a source of worry, it will sort itself out. Need support? What’s the best way to plan ahead?

Scorpio Oct24- Nov22

Is there such a thing as “happy ever after”? Do we really have the right to expect things to turn out right? Is there a cosmic law that says this is so? What about all the people whose lives are filled with suffering and strife? Yet, it’s a fact of life that light will find its way into even the darkest of places and that, with faith and time, hope and joy will shine into all our hearts. This week, as Mars and Neptune converge, a bright and optimistic route away from a recent source of stress becomes clear. Have faith. Your forecast contains valuable guidance.

Sagittariu­s Nov23- Dec21

There’s a Bible story about the Tower of Babel, which is often used to explain why different nations speak different languages. Yet even when we speak the same language as our neighbour, there’s no guarantee that we will understand one another. You’ve been struggling to communicat­e with a key person recently. This week, as Mercury moves retrograde, you have a chance to reinterpre­t your message. If you set expectatio­ns aside, you’ll come to a place of mutual understand­ing and co-operation. Ease your troubles. Find the support you need.

Capricorn Dec22-Jan20

If planet Earth is a spaceship, and we’re all passengers on a celestial journey, who’s in control, and why aren’t we receiving clear informatio­n about the length of the flight and what we can expect when we get to our ultimate destinatio­n? It seems as if some people are going one way, while others have completely different plans. Despite the many things that don’t seem to add up in your life right now, as Mars and Neptune converge this week, if you focus on finding a peaceful solution, you’ll find it.

Aquarius Jan21- Feb19

Just as it’s never a good idea to do your food shopping when you’re hungry, it’s not good to negotiate when you’re feeling anxious, or embark on a journey if you’re in a huge rush. Yet life, of course, means that we’re bound to respond to pressures and needs, even when the time is less than ideal. As Mars and Neptune link, they bring you an opportunit­y to consider your next move as you plan for the future. You have a plethora of options. Allow inspiratio­n to guide you and you’ll make the perfect choice.

Pisces Feb20- Mar20

Some people never learn to trust anyone. They say that sooner or later we’re bound to end up experienci­ng disappoint­ment. Yet the alternativ­e doesn’t bear thinking about. Who wants to live a life being suspicious? Not you. This week, as your ruling planet is energised by Mars, give someone the benefit of the doubt. Trust, even if there’s a risk that in doing so you may not end up exactly where you think you want to be. If you’re prepared to risk being vulnerable, you’ll end up somewhere even better.
