Aries March 20 April 19

While you’ve reason to confront certain individuals about the arrangements they’re discussing, the timing isn’t right. In fact, it may well be that circumstances themselves will deal with these matters, and far better than any single person would. The trick is to remain involved but let things unfold slowly and gradually.

Taurus April 20 May 20

True, the cycle of powerful and often unsettling eclipses has come to an end, and along with it, ongoing disruption. However, because this Sunday’s Full Moon accents close emotional alliances, feelings are likely to run high and you’ll have no choice but to discuss tense situations, and the issues behind them.

Gemini May 21 June 20

Since the middle of July you’ve faced a cycle of sudden change, disorder and growth triggered by the recent series of three eclipses. While some things went well, others stalled or, worse, fell apart. Don’t give up. Many of these will spring back to life, and with more vigour than you’d imagined possible.

Cancer June 21 July 21

If ever there was a time to aim high, it’s now. True, you’re still dealing with the fallout from the retrograde Mercury. However, the link between the Sun, practical Saturn and Uranus is so powerful that what arises will have a life of its own. The more options you explore, the more you’ll benefit.

Leo July 22 August 22

It’s rare that you, as a quick thinking fire sign, get so involved in a particular issue or personal differences that you forget everything else. Yet, in one certain matter, there’s the risk of exactly that. Be wary of allowing it to devour your time and emotions. It’s not really that important.

Virgo August 23 September 22

The past weeks have been challenging. Now that the Sun’s moved into Virgo, that’s pretty much over and, in fact, you’re benefitting from the upbeat mood that accompanies this shift. Better yet, the Sun’s stunning links with practical Saturn and inventive Uranus promise ideas or offers as exciting as they are unanticipated.

Libra September 23 October 22

As a Libra, you value harmony, in life itself, and in close alliances, both personal and out in the world. However, certain individuals actually seem to enjoy stirring up conflict. Not only is this the case, they’re proud of it. Accept this and you’ll find them much easier to deal with.

Scorpio October 23 November 21

True, everybody was influenced by the two recent eclipses, in late July and on Saturday 11 August. However, because these accented the structure of your life, you’re still wrestling with the changes these triggered. Initially, they seemed nothing more than disruptive. But now, you’re beginning to recognise them as the breakthroughs they are.

Sagittarius November 22 December 20

Surprise events, and the resulting chaos, doesn’t bother you in the least. However, those whose discussions about rethinking plans turn into dramas drive you crazy. Still, you can’t ignore them or what they have to say. Let them talk. Eventually it will reach the point when you can actually exchange ideas with them.

Capricorn December 21 January 19

Being industrious by nature, you’re usually the first to deal with tasks or duties. However, you dread certain situations, mostly because one element is unclear or confusing. The actual problem is you dislike asking others for help or facts you feel you should know. Overcome that, and the rest will be easy.

Aquarius January 20 February 17

Unsettling as totally rethinking plans may be, if ever it was wise, that’s now. These sudden but thrilling changes are highlighted by the current planetary setup, which is so positive and upbeat that both past arrangements and what arises now are both likely to go brilliantly. You need only say yes.

Pisces February 18 March 19

Although you’re always happy to discuss what others are doing, their recent passions and, occasionally, tragedies, ensure it’s clear that the fact you’re listening by no means indicates you intend to get involved. In the past your attentive attitude has been mistaken for being a commitment. That could be the case again.
