ARIES March 21- April 20 W

more can you do when you’re doing your best? No, before you start wondering if you really are trying your hardest, let’s look at what that means. Does it always entail struggle and hardship? Do you assume the need for sacrifice and compromise? There are times when it’s best to stand back and allow yourself to be picked up and guided. As your ruler and Uranus powerfully align, they bring so much oomph that you can afford to do just that. With so much energy around, you can sit back and see where it takes you. IN YOUR LOVE LIFE: The enormity of a key development will soon strike home in a surprisingly inspiring way. These are special times.

TAURUS April 21- May 21 T

hey

say that pride comes before a fall. But, with life so full of slippery paths, we’re bound to take the occasional tumble. There’ll always be the odd, surprising banana skin. As Mars and Uranus create upheaval and surprise, there’s a high chance that something will make you feel silly. You’ll wonder if you’ve taken a wrong step or miscalculated a situation. You’ll be aware of potential repercussions. Yet, as long as you know that every road has ups and downs, you’ll realise that the one you're on, is the one you need to be on. IN YOUR LOVE LIFE: Love, money and happiness? Change an old attitude... and all the other changes you need will happen too.

GEMINI May 22- June 22 I

the scenario. King Canute strode towards the shoreline, wearing his robes and his crown, surrounded by his courtiers and much excitement. His voice must have boomed out as he commanded the incoming tide to stop. Yet, the sea ignored him and carried on rolling in. As Mars and Uranus connect, they bring a wave of craziness into your life and tempt you to sort an exasperating situation by trying to do the impossible. Yet Saturn and Neptune bring cosmic reassurance and the promise that valuable help is at hand. IN YOUR LOVE LIFE: Forget the dramas, there are also reasons to feel very hopeful. You are not wasting your time. Give it your best shot.

CANCER June 23- July 23

S ometimes, a little bit of luck can carry us a long way. This is especially true when we find ourselves close to the edge of either success or failure. But to get to that precarious place, we need to have taken risks. Then, there's a high chance of pushing ourselves too far and being reckless. You've made a great effort to resolve an issue of communication so that you can make a move away from a difficult situation. The cosmic indication is that this week, you can take positive action, without risking your reputation or your integrity. IN YOUR LOVE LIFE: You are stepping over an emotional threshold into a world where your reality is far better than your fantasy.

LEO July 24- August 23 A

Mars and Uranus make their final powerful alignment, you can finally begin to see why the information you’ve been seeking is unnecessary. Although you’ve been baffled and confused by a series of events, as long as your intuition is being respected, you don’t actually need to understand the ins and outs of what’s going on. Listen to your inner wisdom. You’re the beneficiary of serendipitous occurences which, even if they don’t appear to make sense, will bring inspiration and encouragement. You’re on the right path. IN YOUR LOVE LIFE: There’s a fine line between wise caution and foolish fear. Is something happening by mistake or by choice? Decide.

LIBRA September 24- October 23 T

alignment of Uranus and Mars suggests that you’re dealing with an issue that involves the complicated difference between being tactful and honest. You find yourself the keeper of knowledge which could be the key to a successful strategy. Yet what you know might be explosive and create tensions; it’s not easy to know how much of it to divulge and to whom. When there’s a possibility of conflict, we always have a choice. Since you don’t want to create a difficult situation, you can choose to move forward with discretion. IN YOUR LOVE LIFE: Wrestling ifs, buts and maybes? Stop thinking about them. Don’t deprive yourself of what you need; all will be fine.

VIRGO August 24- September 23 A

the planets spin and encircle each other, our universe is much like a merry- goround. We become particularly aware of this when planet Earth returns to the place it occupied at the moment we were born. This cyclical event is our solar return, otherwise known as our birthday. It brings blessings, and reminds us of the potential to change. With the energy of Uranus and Mars adding a spark to the already heady mix of energy you’re experiencing around your birthday, you’re about to be the beneficiary of a welcome surprise. IN YOUR LOVE LIFE: When smile, your think clearer. Whatever makes you smile now can be made to keep you smiling for a long time.

SCORPIO October 24- November 22 A

of the many advantages of having Venus in your sign is an improvement in your finances. Does this mean that your overdraft is going to suddenly disappear? Will your salary be exponentially increased? It’s more likely that enhancements will be less obvious but still beneficial. You’ll find it easy to make better financial arrangements and realise potential ways to gain future wealth. Even if you’re still feeling hard up, there are reasons to feel okay and optimistic. Where you're feeling uncertain and anxious, support is at hand. IN YOUR LOVE LIFE: You have an idea of what is possible. Don’t be talked out of it, just because someone else can’t envisage this!

SAGITTARIUS November 23- December 21

he only people who think they know all the answers are asking themselves the wrong questions! Life is full of uncertainty. The wisest folk are the ones who know this and make space for it in their lives. With so much disruptive energy around this week, no wonder you’re unsure of what to do for the best. That’s the perfect way to be feeling. It means there’s no danger of you pushing ahead with something that you’d be better staying away from. If you bide your time, there’s a great deal to learn this week. It’s OK to be fallible.

IN YOUR LOVE LIFE: You have to communicate ‘ an inconvenient truth.’ Is it really such bad news? Find the upside and deliver that.

CAPRICORN December 22- January 20 I

f

you find yourself under a clear night sky this week, try looking into space. Surely, when each star in the Milky Way galaxy is a solar system, there must be life out there somewhere? There’s a high chance that highly- evolved civilisations exist, ones that have found ways of dealing with life on their particular planet. Maybe those extra- terrestrials find common sense an easier concept than we do. As your ruler and Neptune link, they’ll inspire you to think illogically. And, an alien concept could show you the way to finding just what you need. IN YOUR LOVE LIFE: Boundaries and barriers? You really need only be impeded by a restriction that you consciously elect to respect.

AQUARIUS January 21- February 19 Y

always have authority and can command respect, yet you usually prefer to take a more go- with- the- flow approach. Yet, as your ruler Uranus links with Mars, you’re becoming aware of a gift for leadership, and being provided with opportunities to show other people what you’re capable of. Your idiosyncratic, creative style can, if channeled in a focussed way, inspire innovative collaboration. A metaphorical mountain can be moved. Just watch where you invest your energy, because you have more power than you think. IN YOUR LOVE LIFE: Missing something? The only reason you don’t want to want it now, is because you are not sure that you can have it.

PISCES February 20- March 20 A

situation is taking up a great deal of your attention. The question, as your ruler and Saturn harmoniously align, is whether you’re right to put your energy in this specific place. Sometimes, when we’re feeling daunted, it’s easy to become fascinated by something that’s actually irrelevant. It seems much simpler to focus on something small and relatively unimportant than to stare into the vastness of the seemingly impossible. Yet, if you focus your attention on what’s vital this week, you can make astonishing progress. IN YOUR LOVE LIFE: Your idea seems a little far- fetched to some. If you could turn it down a little, you could actually make it very viable.
