ARIES 21 MAR - 20 APR

Feel like you’ve reached a dead end? If you’re facing difficulties and can’t see what to do, think about taking a step back . The angle between the Scorpio Moon and Pluto suggests you won’t want to give up easily. This aspect highlights your resourceful side.

TAURUS 21 APR - 21 MAY

You may be buzzing about a plan or project, but other people’s doubts might dilute your focus and intention. To make the best of coming days, trust your instincts. You can always start small and take things step by step.

GEMINI 22 MAY - 21 JUN

You may be over-cautious in one area of life, but feel like being more spontaneous in another. Treading a middle path might help you avoid excesses. If you’re finding a certain situation too uncomfortable, the temptation to drop it could be strong.

CANCER 22 JUN - 23 JUL

The Moon/Pluto angle can give you valuable insights into a situation that’s been bugging you. And although you could be ready to do anything to bring this to an end, reflecting on it might help you see a way through.

LEO 24 JUL - 23 AUG

If you sense that something is not as it seems then trust your gut, as you’re more in sync with the complexities than you realize. You might also hope that things will sort themselves out, but it’s better to tackle the matter right away.

VIRGO 24 AUG - 23 SEP

While your friends may often be a constant source of support, they can make mistakes, as could be the case today. If someone has advice to share, be sure they know what they’re talking about. Check the source and ask a few pertinent questions before you act.

LIBRA 24 SEP - 23 OCT

Thoughts and feelings may be more intense than usual, which can make it harder to maintain a diplomatic approach to certain matters or people. Even if you know what you want to say, tact could prevent you from being as honest as you’d like.

SCORPIO 24 OCT - 22 NOV

Today’s Moon/Pluto tie could find you in an uncompromising mood, which might work against you. You may be reading more into a situation than is there, and this could intensify suspicions that are groundless.

SAGITTARIUS 23 NOV - 21 DEC

Taking charge of your wellbeing and perhaps changing a few things could lead to fresh efforts to maintain good health. The cosmos encourages you to give some thought to your wellness routine. A little self-care can make the world of difference.

CAPRICORN 22 DEC - 20 JAN

While you’re capable of ignoring your feelings so business can be done, a more ethereal focus may see you embracing them. You could toggle between both over the next day or so. But know that someone, somewhere might be grateful for your help.

AQUARIUS 21 JAN - 19 FEB

The Moon in Scorpio and a high-flying zone could empower you, and yet its link to Pluto might cause you to focus intensely on an opportunity and feel compelled to get involved. You need to be realistic.

PISCES 20 FEB - 20 MAR

You can try ignoring an issue by pretending that it doesn’t exist, but that will only make things worse. As time marches on it might seem easier to bury your head in the sand. Yet the only way out is through. Start with baby steps.
