Aries

March 20 April 19

It’s the rare Aries who gets hung up on possessions, and in fact, if something is cluttering up your life, you can be amazingly unsentimental about getting rid of it. Now, however, you’re contending with an individual who’s decided to help with this project. Understandably, you’re aggravated. Say nothing. Just quietly disentangle yourself.

Taurus

April 20 May 20

Only recently, you’ve begun to realise what once seemed stable and rewarding arrangements are becoming more demanding yet, equally, less worthwhile, and in a lot of ways. While you’ve no idea what’s needed, start by making a few changes, if only in your routine. That could make a huge difference.

Gemini

May 21 June 20

In early October, your ruler Mercury moved into the painstaking sign of Scorpio, triggering a cycle of both review and, frequently, emotional discussions with others. While this cleared the air, often they’d raise and discuss the matters in question again. This won’t have been easy but, ultimately, meant a lot to them.

Cancer

June 21 July 21

While there’s no denying the power of the recent move by the fortunate Jupiter into the partnership angle of your chart, the odds are good you’ll benefit because of others. While that might mean they’re able to fulfil longstanding promises, it’s far more likely developments will be a surprise to them and you.

Leo

July 22 August 22

Being a spontaneous and, occasionally, impulsive fire sign, when irritated you’ll sometimes have an outburst aimed at nobody. It’s more about airing your frustration. Still, others don’t realise that, and think you’re upset with them. Explain, and swiftly, that it’s not them, it’s you. Then do something unusual. Ask their advice.

Virgo

August 23 September 22

Your ruling planet Mercury was retrograde until 20 November. However, you’re still experiencing fallout, in the form of misunderstandings that are only now coming to the surface. While these are annoying, they’re also an opportunity to review certain arrangements you’ve meant to change. The more you investigate, the more sure you’ll be the time has come.

Libra

September 23 October 22

Understandably, others expect you to be excited about recent events or offers. It’s true, these are amazing. Yet you’re overwhelmed, and need time to become accustomed to them. Worse, you’re worried others will regard you as ungrateful. All of these are the result of sheer exhaustion. Sleep. It will cure everything.

Scorpio

October 23 November 21

If you’re feeling restless and intrigued by new ideas, interesting people and broadening your horizons, it’s no surprise. A few days ago the expansive Jupiter moved into the portion of you chart that’s about exactly that. For now, make a point of exploring everything that comes your way. You’ll be glad you did.

Sagittarius

November 22 December 20

After a demanding and, often, challenging period you must be both relieved and thrilled by the welcome events coming your way. And, understandably, you’re eager to get things moving. Take it slowly. This is only the beginning of a cycle of growth, and what’s good now is about to get a lot better.

Capricorn

December 21 January 19

True, you’re beginning a cycle of exciting and, ultimately, rewarding growth. Yet, at the same time, this means leaving certain arrangements and, as much, future dreams behind you. Tempting as it is to keep these going, while exploring what’s currently coming your way, you’ll soon realise it simply isn’t possible.

Aquarius

January 20 February 17

Usually the influence of a planetary link is felt only days before it occurs. However, that link between the fortunate Jupiter and your ruler Uranus, on the 15th, is so powerful you may already be experiencing the thrilling encounters and unexpected events it promises. Some will seem far out. Still, explore them all.

Pisces

February 18 March 19

Between now and this weekend’s clash between the Sun and your ruler Neptune, you’ll face worrying issues and, equally, talk to those whose struggles demand your attention. Urgent as these seem, check out the facts carefully before you do a thing. What you learn will be as informative as, often, it is surprising.
