Aries Mar21-Apr20

Don’t be overly confident. Don’t drive yourself too hard. Don’t try to get to grips with a problem and show it who’s boss. Well, by “don’t”, I mean don’t do any more than you need to. And not any more than you’re doing. You’ve already managed to negotiate a peaceful settlement so that people who don’t agree are working together. But life is about more than creating strategies that bring benefits to other people. It’s important to enjoy yourself too. Look forward to some fun this week… a drama is coming to a happy ending.

Taurus Apr21- May21

Sometimes, it’s only when a need has been met that we become aware of it. But if it’s never met, we might have two unfulfilled needs. We need whatever it is that we don’t know we need, and we also need to know what it is that we need, if we’re going to be in with a chance of fulfilling the other need. No wonder we sometimes feel confused about what we want. This week, you become more aware of a need that’s not easily addressed. But at least you’ll know what you’re looking for. There’s a good chance you’ll find it, too.

Gemini May22-Jun22

With Mercury, your ruler, heading into your sign, it’s time to stop thinking about a missed opportunity. The past is the past. Of course, as a Gemini, you know this. You have a natural sparkle of youthful vitality that enables you to look forwards, identify potential problems and work out what to do. It’s just that it’s often easier to apply this approach to others (rather than yourself). We all need a taste of our own medicine sometimes. This week, you’ll see, rather pleasingly, that a simple shift of attitude moves an obstacle out of your way.

Cancer Jun23-Jul23

It’s not as if you expect to be assisted by a magic wand; you know it’s going to take some effort. But there’s so much you want to reorganise. And there’s a situation that has been a longterm cause of consternation that you’d love to renegotiate. That’s a perfect dream to have in a week when Mercury’s moving into its celestial home and Venus and Neptune are converging. Of course, you can set a process of positive change into motion. You might have to do a bit more than just say abracadabra. But cosmic help’s available.

Leo Jul24-Aug23

Some creative acts are instantly rewarding. We have a spark of an idea. We put it into action and we feel immediately satisfied. Yet others take longer to come to bear fruit. Of course, the more effort we invest in chasing a dream, the more satisfied we feel when it becomes a reality. But that’s not much help when we’re not confident that we’re going to be successful. As creative Venus links to mysterious Neptune, no matter whether you’re being creative or chasing an emotional goal, a breakthrough is more likely than you think.

Virgo Aug24-Sep23

Are you ready for an exhilarating journey of discovery? Or have you got too many duties to fulfil, commitments to keep and challenges to conquer? Surely that’s what adventure is all about? As your ruler, Mercury, takes up residence in its other celestial home, you may feel as if the great celestial storyteller, who dictates the course of your life from afar, has changed the direction of the plotline. Recently, you’ve been dealing with a lot of struggle (and not so much reward). In the next chapter, the opposite is true.

Libra Sep24- Oct23

When times are challenging, and we’re dealing with demanding situations, we summon our inner survival mechanisms. They’ve been carefully constructed so that they’re big enough to hide behind and we can safely poke out our head to check on enemy advances. If you’ve recently found yourself having to take shelter from a tumult of trouble, fear not. As your ruler, Venus, links with imaginative Neptune, it brings new hope. You’ll find an easy way to solve an impossible problem. Just stay optimistic and open-minded.

Scorpio Oct24- Nov22

There’s no getting away from the fact that some scenarios are complex. And some problems are tricky to solve. And certain matters require research before they can be understood, let alone dealt with. I mention this because as Pluto, your ruler, turns retrograde, you may be more aware of such situations. But when I say that this week brings inspiration, I’m not saying it for the sake of it. As Venus and Neptune converge, don’t be drawn into any confusing conversations. If you stay clear in your own mind, success awaits.

Sagittarius Nov23- Dec21

The news that Venus and Neptune are converging in Pisces, which is where your ruling planet Jupiter is residing, is enough for any astrologers to stop reading right here. They know everything they need to know without having to read another word. You’re experiencing a wonderfully encouraging cosmic climate. You’re being blessed with the opportunities you need in order to make a big breakthrough. You’ve been up against a challenge for a while. Here comes the luck you need. Your job this week is to supply the effort.

Capricorn Dec22-Jan20

Most of us are engaged in a struggle to make ends meet. It’s rare that we manage to grab both ends at the same time and tie them together. It’s never long before they somehow unravel and we need to find a way to navigate the coach of cold-comfort to the station of security. It’s not an easy journey – especially when unpredictable weather creates heavy traffic and we have to leave familiar routes behind. You’ve done well to maintain a steady pace. This week, the road will clear and you’ll reach your destination.

Aquarius Jan21- Feb19

There are times when no matter how hard we try, we don’t get as far as we want. No wonder we feel frustrated when we see other people cruise into pole position, without appearing to make much effort. How’s that fair? Of course, as observers, we never see the full picture. Maybe they’ve been working hard for years and it’s only just paying off. Maybe it’s their turn to be swept along on a tide of good fortune. As we move towards the black moon, a boost of celestial assistance will soon have heads turning in your direction.

Pisces Feb20- Mar20

Venus is conjunct Neptune, in your sign. If this week were a piece of music, it would emanate from the very best sound system and be so delightfully harmonious that it would instantly suit your mood and fit in with your circumstances. What’s more, it would have such a good groove and feeling that you’d want to dance. With all this energy swirling around, the week’s filled with the potential for inner vision that enables powerful change. You can even write a new, tuneful song that others will enjoy and sing along with. It’s going to be fun.
