STAR GAZING
Aries March 20 April 18
Your ruler Mars moved into the most reflective portion of your chart on 13 May. While you’ve had to face a range of tricky issues, you’ve learnt a lot. Focus on those insights. They’ll prove invaluable when Mars actually moves into Aries, on 28 June, kick-starting an exciting new cycle of your life.
Taurus April 19 May 19
Obviously, every sign is influenced by the current pair of eclipses, on 21 June and in early July. However, because these accent your perspective on certain crucial matters, you’ll find yourself questioning your own convictions. While unsettling in the short term, what you learn will justify whatever struggles you’ve faced.
Gemini May 20 June 19
During periods of change, such as this is, luck comes in a range of forms, some as unexpected as they will prove exciting. However, their promise isn’t always immediately clear. The trick is to explore absolutely everything, knowing that, each discussion, idea or offer will prove informative in some way.
Cancer June 20 July 21
Between the powerful Cancer eclipsed New Moon on the 21st and equally powerful planetary activity accenting the structure of your life, changes aren’t just likely, they’ll be as thrilling as they are sudden. While you’ve been aware of the possibility of something exciting, what arises could go well beyond your wildest dreams.
Leo July 22 August 21
Saying farewell to longstanding arrangements about which you were once passionate won’t be easy. But there’ve been changes, and these must go as well. The trick is to be aware of that stubborn streak in your nature that dislikes giving in, even if it’s in your best interests. Take a deep breath and let things come to an end.
Virgo
August 22 September 21
There’s a fine line between sticking to what seems best for everybody, especially during unsettling periods such as this and being frank. While you’d think that’s the last thing that would be helpful, it will do wonders. Not only will others reveal how vulnerable they’re feeling, it will result in unexpected but brilliant ideas.
Libra September 22 October 21
Long ago you learnt that while certain periods almost seem designed for discussion and creative thinking, others bring challenges that demand all your time and attention. While it’s true, within a short while, you’ll be discussing solutions, now and over the coming weeks, you’ll have to stick to the hard facts.
Scorpio October 22 November 20
The problem isn’t that those who once laughed at your ideas have decided they’re a good idea. It’s that the individuals in question are now claiming they came up with those concepts. While, obviously, you’re furious, wait and watch. Within a short time their lack of knowledge will reveal their unscrupulous manoeuvres.
Sagittarius November 21 December 20
As much as you enjoy discussing recent plans and the changes you’re currently making, this isn’t the ideal time to turn those ideas into action. In fact with Mercury retrograde until mid-July, the odds are good you’ll go through several versions of ideas and arrangements before you can regard any as settled.
Capricorn December 21 January 19
Sometimes obstacles are exactly that, difficulties that require time, thought and persistence but which can be overcome. However, certain matters are so complex you doubt even your best efforts will achieve much. Don’t give up. The trick is to persist. Do nothing now, but be ready to move swiftly when the moment comes.
Aquarius January 20 February 18
When bizarre changes in certain longstanding arrangements were first mentioned, you assumed it was more of a joke than anything else. Since then, you’ve realised the individuals in question were serious. An even greater surprise, still, is the fact you’re now beginning to agree with their thinking and ideas for the future.
Pisces February 19 March 19
Most of the time, the beginning of Mercury’s retrograde cycle, and the accompanying confusion, is greeted by moaning. This time, however, the minor errors it triggers could be as amusing as they are illuminating. The trick is to ignore those who’re in a rush and deal with each task as it arises.
