Aries Mar21-Apr20

Do you want to get into a discussion about minor details, or would you rather stand back and appreciate the bigger picture? Do you want to get drawn into a debate, or would you prefer to stop talking and start taking positive action? When you see them written down, the answers to these questions are obvious. But it’s not so easy to keep perspective when we’re caught up in the middle of a drama. As your ruler, Mars, links with Uranus, be on the look-out for impulsive reactions. It’s important to keep sight of your long-term vision.

Taurus Apr21- May21

Everyone knows about the care and consideration you give to people lucky enough to fall under your protection. But this week, when you find yourself engaging with a new project, be ready for a different experience. Although Mercury’s reconnection with Pluto brings the insight to respond to an exciting opportunity, if you want to stay at the forefront of the action, you’ll need to keep up with your entourage. If someone has skills you don’t have, be generous enough to accept their help.

Gemini May22-Jun22

Every one of us is at the mercy of the gods. We’re blissfully unaware of how, when we’ve had to go back for our phone, and are running a few minutes late, we’ve actually been saved from an unfortunate event. Yet just because we don’t understand the complex nature of our relationship with the cosmos doesn’t mean that we don’t have some control. This week, you can make simple changes that alter your attitude and empower you to make more effective decisions. A tweak to your thinking can have a big impact on your future.

Cancer Jun23-Jul23

What makes you prone to moodiness? Maybe it’s because you’re ruled by the sensitive moon; your bigheartedness means that you care. And, just as energy can’t be created or destroyed, emotions are powerfully present in your world – you can’t just switch them off. Which is great when you’re feeling hopeful and optimistic, but more challenging when you’re feeling frustrated. Your compassion grows from your awareness of life’s bitterness as well as its sweetness. This week brings the cosmic equivalent of chocolate.

Leo Jul24-Aug23

One of my classmates at school was a gifted guitarist. A few years later, it was his impressive song-writing and vocal skills that led to a growing reputation in the music industry. Sometimes life encourages us to switch our attention away from something we know we’re good at, and inspires us to develop other skills. And sometimes, that’s when we start to find success. You’re a multitalented Leo. This week you’ll be reminded of your attributes. Seize an opportunity to use a hidden talent in an advantageous, profitable way.

Virgo Aug24-Sep23

I’m sure you’ve noticed that astrologers often talk about your pragmatic, logical side. They’re not wrong… of course you have these qualities. But your natural Virgoan wisdom and mental acumen are only part of the picture. When the mood takes you, and the timing’s right, you can be imaginative, creative, expressive and spontaneous. You have a fiercely independent side, so you don’t feel as if you have to explain your actions to anyone. And when you act on impulse, the results are impressive. Trust your intuition this week.

Libra Sep24- Oct23

Have you been given information you don’t want to hear? Or shown something you’d rather not see? Would you rather bury your head in the sand and carry on regardless? Before you think about how to proceed, it’s worth checking the reliability of your news. How much has it been coloured by an opinion, a hope or a fear? As Mercury turns direct, if you look again, you’ll be able to sort out misinformation from the reality. Can you find something new and inspiring within all that seems to be so cut and dried? Absolutely.

Scorpio Oct24- Nov22

I wonder if you’d mind getting a bit closer to the words on this page and taking a deep breath. Perfect. They’ve been imbued with a wonderful subtle fragrance that will enable you to relax and fully appreciate the information in your prediction. Don’t panic. Of course, that would be manipulative and power-wielding – I’d never do that. But somewhere in your life, it’s as if you’re under some sort of spell. Remember, this week, you’re in control of your life. Unless you want to be seduced by something or someone, you don’t have to be.

Sagittarius Nov23- Dec21

We have ideas about how things are “supposed” to be. Of course, our expectations rarely match the reality. Our personal storylines don’t always end up with the endings we’d like. You’ve been dealing with a drama that’s been taking a lot of your energy. There’s still a lot to do. Yet what’s happening is happening for the right reasons. Eventually, you’re going to feel greatly relieved and very pleased. Just do whatever you need to do while remaining as optimistic and open-minded as you can be. You’re going to enjoy this.

Capricorn Dec22-Jan20

Whatever anyone needs this week, they can count on you to supply it. With Mars in Capricorn you’re more resourceful than usual. And, with generous Venus and communicative Mercury also in your sign, you can share information in encouraging ways. If you find yourself feeling a bit worn down – as if you’d like to be the recipient of a generous gesture or two, remember that it’s when we start to give, that we start to really receive. Good things are coming your way this week. The less you demand, the more you’ll enjoy.

Aquarius Jan21- Feb19

It’s easier to be critical than to be creative. It’s less work to tear something down than to rebuild it. We live in a world where demolishing the opposition is simpler than providing an alternative. Yet we’re capable of so much more. With the sun in your sign, it’s time for you to think about your intentions. Whatever you dream you can do, you can do. Once you recognise your power, you’ll see that your beliefs are a valuable resource. They can empower you to move on from a situation you’ve been stuck in for too long.

Pisces Feb20- Mar20

Imagine the scenario; one person, who’s carrying a violin, asks another, who’s pulling a double bass, “Excuse me. How do I get to The Royal Opera House?” They reply “Just keep practising”. That’s the piece of advice I need to give to you this week. You’re not sure where you need to get to. Although you’ve got a vision, it’s not quite fully formed and the route ahead doesn’t appear to be straightforward. Yet, you’re good at what you do. Be confident that if you keep doing what you’re doing, you’ve got the talent to succeed.
