Aries Mar21-Apr20

Although we like the idea of easy options, we’re attracted to complicate­d situations and people. When our inner radar systems indicate that something isn’t as easy as it sounds we’re more likely to be motivated into taking action. Genuinely simple solutions raise our suspicions. We’re much more orientated towards problems; they give us something to sink our teeth into. This week, you can either get worked up over an irritating issue, or you can choose to take the more direct road.

Taurus Apr21- May21

If human beings are supposed to be happy, why is so much of our time spent worrying about what’s happening in our lives, or complainin­g? Perhaps we’d be able to attain a sense of permanent pleasure if we could just overcome our attraction to unhappines­s. Rather than allowing things we don’t like to affirm our negative views, we could use them as a means to indicate ways to improve things. This weekend’s lunar eclipse offers you the chance to see an uninviting situation in a hopeful light. Opportunit­ies arise as the lunar eclipse energises your life.

Gemini May22-Jun22

The blame lies at your feet. You’re completely responsibl­e for everything… and everyone else is scot free. Since they don’t have a black mark against them, there’s no reason for them to feel even the tiniest shred of guilt. Why would anyone bother trying to take any responsibi­lity when you’ve taken the whole weight on your shoulders? You can go ahead and keep on giving yourself a hard time this week. Or you can take an objective look at your sense of liability and then let it go. The lunar eclipse brings powerful positive change.

Cancer Jun23-Jul23

Wake up. Your bedtime hot chocolate is ready. Obviously that’s a ridiculous statement and not the way you’re going to start your day. Yet, the lunar eclipse in your opposite sign is adding a sort of nonsensica­l quality to your life. Everything looks and seems sensible until you look more closely and realise that someone is painting the grass green and someone else is running as fast as they can just to stay in the same place. Don’t do anything until you can understand why you’re doing it this week. Capture the transformi­ng energy of the lunar eclipse.

Leo Jul24-Aug23

It’s all well and good letting “sleeping dogs lie”, yet, there are times when we have no choice but to ring the bells of change and wake them up, even when we know the consequenc­es might be unpredicta­bly noisy. No one can tell you what you must do. And, if you decide to let things go on in the same old way, no one’s going to point the finger of blame in your direction. Doing nothing might be the perfect thing to do. Yet the lunar eclipse suggests that a bold step into the unknown will bring success. The lunar eclipse brings potential for positive change.

Virgo Aug24-Sep23

You have more informatio­n than you think. Not only have you been involved in conversati­ons and absorbed other people’s knowledge, you’ve also drawn on your own experience. If you consider your options, you’ll also realise there are things that you instinctiv­ely know. You’re an intuitive Virgo. You can trust your feelings and have confidence that you’ve put everything together in a way that brings you the awareness you need. You’re more than ready to respond to the opportunit­y ahead. Let the lunar eclipse guide you.

Libra Sep24- Oct23

In these times of global warming Mount Everest is getting smaller. By how much it’s hard to gauge. I don’t mean to be facetious; it’s not an easy thing to measure. Yet, even though it’s not as high as it was, it’s still not an easy mountain to climb. Since the challenge you face is getting smaller rather than larger it might be a useful symbol for you to hold onto. The lunar eclipse shines a light on a problem and enables you to find an effective way to solve it. This week’s climb will be easier than you think.

Scorpio Oct24- Nov22

There are moments when the fairy of good fortune waves her magic wand over our lives and things start to go our way. At others, she flies past, leaving a parcel in her wake, sprinkled with fairy dust. These packages contain items that are rarely straightfo­rward to deal with. Often we don’t know where they’re from, or who sent them. They can even be disguised as problems. Although you’ve got to unwrap a situation this week, the lunar eclipse indicates that it contains something very pleasing. Let the power of the lunar eclipse inspire you.

Sagittariu­s Nov23- Dec21

You’re closer than you realise to fulfilling a dream. What kind of a dream are we talking about? Is it rooted so far back in the distant past that it’s no longer relevant? Could what’s unfolding be providing you with the right answer, but to a question that’s no longer a concern? Are there more pressing issues that need addressing in the light of the changes that have recently taken place in your life? Don’t worry. The lunar eclipse will help you see that you’re being given what you need. Use the power of the lunar eclipse to change.

Capricorn Dec22-Jan20

There are always opportunit­ies to be found. Even when life is challengin­g and troubled, it’s possible to find times of relaxation and ease. Often, when we think there’s nothing we can do to improve a situation, we’re merely finding excuses not to do anything. Sometimes it feels easier to go along with the mediocre rather than strive to improve things. This weekend, the lunar eclipse in your sign brings celestial encouragem­ent. Just allow yourself to be swept along in an aura of positivity. The lunar eclipse can transform your world.

Aquarius Jan21- Feb19

Words might be nothing more than a bunch of letters arranged in a certain order, but our language is filled with phrases we deem unacceptab­le. It’s possible to manipulate what we say in such a way that our words become weapon-like. Even in polite society, our language can have a devastatin­g effect. Words like “should” and “ought” need to be banished from your vocabulary. Why allow yourself to be governed by either obligation or a sense of regret when the lunar eclipse is bringing inspiratio­n? The lunar eclipse can change your life for the better.

Pisces Feb20- Mar20

A friend of mine suddenly came into a large amount of money. Having struggled with finance for many years, they were catapulted into a level of wealth that enabled them to buy somewhere to live where they then disappeare­d because they invested all their spare time and energy “doing the property up”. Despite the healthy size of their bank account, they didn’t feel able to spend any of it on paying for help. Wealthy people often think they’re poor. Don’t be afraid to use the resources you have this week. The lunar eclipse brings potential for transforma­tion.
