While a side of you may be thinking ahead to the future, you might also be dwelling on events that keep you stuck in the past. A lingering Sun/Pluto merger could find you so tired of something that you’re quite willing to drop it.

PISCES 20 FEB - 20 MAR

The emphasis on a sensitive zone means it’s time to learn from your mistakes and tie up loose ends ready for when the sun enters your sign soon. Your dreams may contain wisdom and guidance that will be useful as you head into a new phase.

ARIES 21 MAR - 20 APR

You can push and manipulate as much as you like, but if something isn’t ready to happen then it won’t. With the sun conjunct Pluto you may be guilty of forcing things. If anything, a more relaxed approach might work out better.

TAURUS 21 APR - 21 MAY

The sun’s lingering tie to Pluto can enhance any ambitions you might have. It’s time to blast through your limits and see what you’re capable of. You could feel this way now, but a few days down the line, the desire to excel may fade.

GEMINI 22 MAY - 21 JUN

If you want someone to support you, you could find it difficult unless what you’re offering is appealing. Will they benefit? If not, this might be a sticking point. The sun’s link to Pluto hints that you’ll need to offer more than a few perks to get them aboard.

CANCER 22 JUN - 23 JUL

Joint financial matters may be on your mind. If you made some decisions recently they might be helping you feel better about things. The Gemini Moon and its link to Venus suggests that when it comes to one relationship you seem to be on the same page.

LEO 24 JUL - 23 AUG

It’s no good hoping that others will follow your lead. The sun’s link to Pluto in Aquarius puts the ball firmly in their court. If you want to have an impact, you’ll need to treat them as equals and learn to listen, or even compromise.

VIRGO 24 AUG - 23 SEP

Bogged down in details and a desire to get things right? You need to step back and get your bearings or you’ll lose sight of the grand design. Remind yourself why you’re putting in so much effort and what you hope to get from it. Sometimes it’s best to just get on with it.

LIBRA 24 SEP - 23 OCT

With the sun in a dynamic area of your chart, it may be easier to forget about petty irritations and squabbles, especially where family’s concerned. If you’re overwhelmed with domestic responsibilities, use the opportunity to indulge in some pleasure.

SCORPIO 24 OCT - 22 NOV

Determined energies in your communications sector encourages you to make the first move in a budding friendship, or to discuss a creative project. You have an opportunity to take advantage of key influences to move things along.

SAGITTARIUS 23 NOV - 21 DEC

The sun’s potent tie with Pluto in Aquarius suggests you may get a clear signal that you should connect with someone. This might not seem logical, but they could help you accomplish something important. Working together can be quite an experience.

CAPRICORN 22 DEC - 20 JAN

If you’re not getting what you’re worth, it may be time to increase your income. This might mean a change of scene, a new job or starting a side hustle. With the Sun and Pluto in your money zone, you could be acutely aware that you deserve more.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY: You want change and you’re ready to embrace it. But first you’ll need to resolve a situation that you might prefer to ignore. If you deal with it, the transformation you hope for could be very swift.
