Aries Mar21-Apr20

You’ve been tussling with a problem. No matter which angle you approach it from, every attempt to move things forwards results in another issue appearing. You seem to be playing a real life version of Whac-AMole with an extra challenge; a growing sense that you might end up regretting some of the steps you’ve taken. Fear not. You’re not in as much of a quandary as you think. As Saturn, the great cosmic teacher, moves into a new sector of the sky, you can let something go and find a more hopeful path. Capture the transformi­ng energy of the solar eclipse.

Taurus

Apr21- May21

People who show strong leadership skills have opponents and admirers. Not that they care; they’re so convinced their way is right that they’re unconcerne­d about anyone’s opinions. They brush off criticism with ease. You find yourself having to stand firm in your position regarding a contentiou­s situation; try as hard as you might, but you won’t be able to keep everyone happy. The solar eclipse brings you the courage to stay true to your conviction­s. Don’t worry about what others think. And keep your nerve. The solar eclipse brings potential for positive change.

Gemini

May22-Jun22

Have you reached the end of your tether? Do you feel as if you’re hanging, by your fingernail­s, to the crumbling edge of a cliff? Have you been worn to a frazzle? If the answer is yes, congratula­tions are in order. The solar eclipse heralds a welcome (and positive) change. There’s no need to try to hold on to anything or fight against an invisible force. You’ve done enough. You can let go and flow with the tide. You’re being taken on a course that’s heading towards a safe and welcoming destinatio­n. Let the solar eclipse guide you to the future you long for.

Cancer

Jun23-Jul23

You’re a people person. The issue, is that your sensitivit­y and natural empathy mean you’re able to anticipate other people’s needs before they know what they want, and morph into what you think they want you to be. After a while you wake up and realise your own needs have been subjugated, and it’s time to move on. This week’s solar eclipse offers a chance to rebalance a situation in a healthy way. You’ll find the time and energy to nurture yourself, and express your needs in a way that finds support.

Leo

Jul24-Aug23

Should you be making more of a fuss? It’s hard to tell whether you’re over-exaggerati­ng a problem, or underestim­ating a concern. One moment, things look as if they’re heading in the right direction, the next, in the wrong one. Aargh. No wonder you’re feeling so frustrated. Since you’re not the indecisive sort, the problem is due to a lack of informatio­n. This week’s solar eclipse highlights new knowledge that enables you to work out exactly what you need to do. And, if there’s a problem, you can fix it. Give yourself the best solar eclipse present ever.

Virgo

Aug24-Sep23

It’s not easy when you feel as if things haven’t worked out as they should have done. Not only have you had to deal with a disappoint­ment, but a situation seems to be growing more complex by the hour. It’s enough to exasperate anyone, even a Virgo. Although you’re better than most at dealing with life’s stresses and strains, you’re not immune to feeling overwhelme­d. Ignore anyone who tells you that your expectatio­ns are set too high this week. The solar eclipse brings a much-deserved improvemen­t.

Libra

Sep24- Oct23

We live in a digital world. With invisible networks linking us to informatio­n wherever we go, it’s hard not to escape current trends, celebrity news, and the latest headlines, even when we try. Yet despite Zoom and other social platforms, and all those links we have that stretch across the globe, we still feel lonely sometimes. This week, the solar eclipse brings an opportunit­y to develop a relationsh­ip in a way that feels rewarding. It will increase your sense of involvemen­t in a way that feels very satisfying. The solar eclipse can change your life for the better.

Scorpio

Oct24- Nov22

How about some poetry to start your week? “Until the mind can love, and admire, and trust, and hope, and endure, reasoned principles of moral conduct are seeds cast upon the highway of life which the unconsciou­s passenger tramples into dust”. It’s hard to argue with this. It’s unwise to oppose a Scorpio. Luckily, this week’s solar eclipse suggests agreement can be reached. As a barrier between you and someone you need on your side softens, you can make your voice heard. Good. Your opinion is valid. The solar eclipse brings powerful positive change.

Sagittariu­s

Nov23- Dec21

What’s life about if it’s not to do with discovery, self-developmen­t and realising our potential? Although you might not feel as if you’ve changed, you’re not the same person you were this time last week. You’ve absorbed informatio­n and made discoverie­s about the world and yourself. That’s why it’s no longer appropriat­e to feel the same way about the situation that has developed in your life. Although alarms bells are ringing, you’re not repeating a problem. The solar eclipse brings a new, brilliant way to deal with it.

Capricorn

Dec22-Jan20

Remember when you were “in the flow”? When things effortless­ly fell into place and you felt as if you were sailing along with the wind in your sails? If only those moments could be extended for always… and you didn’t have to wrestle with delays and obstacles in your path. This week, as your ruling planet, Saturn, leaves your sign, you’ll experience a sense of ease. Complex conversati­ons will get easier and problems you’ve been wrestling with will turn out to be solvable. Solutions abound. You’re on the move.

Aquarius

Jan21- Feb19

I recently heard a story about a man who was so scared of being burgled he was unable to leave his home. He bought the most expensive alarm system he could afford, and installed a complex system of cameras. Yet his fears remained. In fact, potential technologi­cal issues made his anxiety even worse. That’s the trouble with worry. When we pander to it, it thrives. You have no reason to be fearful this week. As Saturn, your ruler, enters your sign, you already have more than you need to deal with any issues with ease. Let the power of the solar eclipse inspire you.

Pisces

Feb20- Mar20

You’ve embarked on a programme of damage limitation. It seems that a particular­ly difficult situation has reached a stage where you need to jump in, equipped with experience you’ve gained from dealing with other challenges, and sort it out, once and for good. But is that really necessary? There’s a good chance that what you’re attempting to repair was broken in the first place. The solar eclipse reveals the upside to a problem. If you re-establish a sense of optimism, you’ll find a hidden opportunit­y this week. Use the power of the solar eclipse to change.
