Moon sign: Pisces

Rising sign: Gemini

You live in your head – while those deeply intuitive gifts get buried under a mountain of logic. But your other side is finally ready to be heard. And you’re wondering how to handle the new you. You’ve fulfilled your obligation­s and taken care of virtually anyone who’s crossed your path. Now you’d like to take care of yourself. Well, it’s about time. The energy of abundance and fabulous opportunit­y has arrived on cue, and you’re wondering where to put it. And sure, the next few weeks will be confusing. But if you write down your deepest desires, and read them out to Friday’s lunar eclipse, you’ll soon have a wonderful new adventure to dress for. Let yourself out of those cramped little boxes you’ve created. It’s time to play.

CANCER June 21 - Jul 22

Family could be driving you crazy, especially if you’re arguing over money. No use crawling back into your little crab shell, hoping the problem will go away. Besides, you’re not entirely alone. Love is going well enough for you to share your burdens, and even accept some advice. Mostly, you can trust your own heart. Your instincts are fabulous enough to create miracles.

LEO Jul 23 - Aug 22

As one who thrives on drama, some confused communicat­ion means bumping into an old love and possibly re-opening old wounds. Ghastly thought, but it has to be done, preferably before Friday’s lunar eclipse takes decisions out of your hands. Better news is establishe­d contacts will be more available and more open to unusual offers. Remember to finish the old before starting the new.

VIRGO Aug 23 - Sep 22

It’s a fascinatin­g time to negotiate as long as you play your cards close to your chest. At this point, you don’t really know who you can trust. Which doesn’t mean no one’s trustworth­y. Investigat­ions will reveal a completely different set of options – the kind you hadn’t thought of. If nothing else, stay flexible enough to rewrite your plans at a moment’s notice. Plan for a wild adventure.

LIBRA Sep 23 - Oct 22

There’s some deep thinking going on in your head; so deep it’s almost unconsciou­s. But it’s disturbing you nonetheles­s – possibly in dreams or flashes of fear. What’s going on and what can you do to help? Try not to push these thoughts aside. Write them down, find patterns, get help. Take action. The planets are pushing for change – and they don’t much care how it happens.

SCORPIO Oct 23 - Nov 21

You’ve taken a couple of knocks, and been forced to wonder whether the fault hasn’t occasional­ly been yours. You’re not being punished for a lifetime of sin, the planets are simply asking you to pull in the reins and refocus. You’re lost in your ego. A reality check is needed. And a reminder that if you want your life to change, you’re the one who has to do the changing.

SAGITTARIU­S Nov 22 - Dec 21

All that work you thought had gone down the tubes, is now revealing its value. Because suddenly, you’ve become aware that you’re not only an expert, but way ahead of the rest of the pack. Think carefully how best to make use of such an advantage. This is not the time for gloating. Get some advice on capitalisi­ng on your investment in yourself. The real games have only just begun.

CAPRICORN Dec 22 - Jan 20

Hardly able to drag yourself off the couch? Battling to find courage to get through the day? Or have you succumbed to the trauma and taken to your bed? Take a break if you want to, but the point is to enjoy it. Lying around feeling guilty will harm you more than getting off your butt and putting one foot in front of the other. Enormous patience is required — with yourself. A new you is slowly being revealed.

AQUARIUS Jan 20 - Feb 18

What you like to call a playful romance could seem to others like a cruel game. Take care. You may have covered your heart with armour-plating, but no one else has. Drop the inhibition­s and see what comes your way. It’s time to speak your heart. The mind has been heard and doesn’t have a clue what it wants. Intuition is speaking loud and clear.

PISCES Feb 19 - Mar 20

Bigoted ranting is not really you, is it? So what’s going on here. Fact is, the planets are asking for some goal-setting and action planning. The energies of higher learning are with you, asking you to walk your own talk – and even learn some new words. Meanwhile, the best way to dump the hangers-on is to empower yourself – not yell at them. Change doesn’t come easily to anyone. Have some patience.

ARIES Mar 21 - April 19

If your relationsh­ips survive this next planetary onslaught, you have something to be treasured. Be grateful. You may just become aware of how many people are trying to control you. Perhaps you discover that joint finances are not as you thought. One thing: no good decision was ever made in anger. Take your time with this. The planets are sending opportunit­ies every day.

TAURUS Apr 20 - May 20

Did you know that the stress trigger is there to warn you of impending danger? Not to keep you awake at night in a state. Watch your thoughts. They’re the basis of your reality, and a Taurus thought is one of the most powerful there is. Light green candles for abundance and white for happiness. Next month will be better.

GEMINI May 21 - June 20

Career changes — upheavals even — come with Friday’s lunar eclipse. Now’s your chance to harness an energy that allows access to all your intuitive gifts, while sending the intellect on a break. Do you turn into an idiot or discover your brilliance? It’s up to you. Either way, save 15 minutes for a love life that’s finding its way. Understand­ing is needed and a willingnes­s to listen to the undercurre­nts. They may be subtle, but they know what they want.
