Control is your thing and when you don’t have it you feel like your world is falling apart. Get used to it. This is your year for surrender and trust. By 2025, your life will have transformed completely. But for now, you’re learning to accept and love your life just the way it is. Yes, that’s far more difficult than it sounds, but you have options. For the next two years, the planet of abundance is with you, offering an increase in optimism, money, change, friendship, movement, lovers. You’ll have the chance to decide which parts of your life you’re happy with and which you’re not. Your instincts are telling you to wait and see what happens. But as you’re rapidly discovering, the moment you wait for life to take its own course, you turn into a powerless victim. Generally, this year is asking you to heal yourself and prepare for a different life. How about keeping a diary or writing your life story? You’ll be fascinated by the memories.
LIBRA
Sep 23 - Oct 22
There’s a storm coming; one of those slow, sneaky storms that clobbers you just when you think it’s passed. For now, stick with finances. Check your investments and snatch your money away from anyone who looks even the slightest bit dodgy. In fact, for the next few weeks, think of yourself as under surveillance. And stay alert. Whenever you’re asked a question, the best answer — for now — is “definitely not”.
SCORPIO
Oct 23 - Nov 21
Communications are on the fritz from tomorrow, which means your instincts are suddenly superb. Best thing to do this week is nothing at all. So if your love life is all over the place, leave it there. And if your career is falling about, stand back and watch. Your expectations are bigger now, leaning towards community work and group projects. Stay there until mid-October, when your sanity returns. But, for now, rehearse all your speeches before opening your mouth.
SAGITTARIUS Nov 22 - Dec 21
The planets are on stall, and you’re wondering who to bash on the head just to relieve your frustrations. Not one of your better ideas. Besides, this is a gentle week for you — one in which charm and consideration need to be top of your list. Love’s in a heap, jobs are mysteriously on hold, and you’re in serious need of a massage. Get one. Get two.
CAPRICORN Dec 22 - Jan 20
Fighting over money, are you? Don’t waste your energy. Your career is doing its own peculiar thing and communications are positively frightening. Remind yourself (hourly) that you deserve only the best and that money comes to you easily. Meanwhile, the planets are sending you home — to family, lovers, children, anyone who needs your attention. Offer it lavishly and with grace. You’ll get lots more back.
AQUARIUS
Jan 20 - Feb 18
The love life has seldom been weirder. And, quite frankly, you’d rather be stirring (shaking?) martinis on a beach bar than thrashing out your emotional differences. Running is good — for a while. But once you’ve figured out what’s really going on in that peculiar head of yours (approximately three weeks), you’ll need to come back and explain. Meanwhile, it’s mindless fun time. Make some notes for that novel.
PISCES
Feb 19 - Mar 20
If your love life is falling apart, that’s just as it should be. Pray for patience and focus on a fantastic career and burgeoning self-esteem. Your personal profile is on the rise as your secret dreams wake up and knock on your door. And sure, this means less time for a personal life — but, as they say, there’s a season for everything. This is yours for you. Don’t mess it up just because you can’t make sense of the moments.
ARIES
Mar 21 - April 19
Friendships are being tested, while career shake-ups leave you confused about where to run. The fact is, this is a disruptive month, and the best thing is to surrender to the forces. They’re on your side — believe it or not — pushing you to grab the reins yourself. After all, a powerful general is one with the courage to make the tough decisions, even about himself. Remind yourself that every decision is ultimately the right one.
TAURUS
Apr 20 - May 20
You feel it in your fingers; you feel it in your toes. Yup, it’s the planet of love, flying in on a magic carpet and sprinkling stardust all over your heart. If you’re taken, create some romance where you are — or sneak off to remind yourself how it’s done. If you’re available, wear something daring. You’re delicious now. Offer someone a bite. You have cosmic permission to misbehave. So why not?
GEMINI
May 21 - June 20
Your personal planet, Mercury, is on strike for three weeks. Which means, obviously, your career is taking a small pounding — just enough to get you thinking. Are you hanging in because you’re not sure what else to do? Are you stomping out in a huff because your ego is in a twist? Now’s your chance to fine-tune your awareness. Opportunities are hanging in the air. Listen carefully. But only make up your mind in November.
CANCER
June 21 - Jul 22
Still shaking in your boots, wondering what hit you? Last week’s transformations are still reverberating in your heart, messing with your love life, and leaving you wondering who your real friends are. Calm yourself. This is a powerful month — one of change and re-evaluation. And since you hate making choices of your own, they’re being made for you. Let’s see if you prefer that. Either way, life will begin to make more sense by mid-October.
LEO
Jul 23 - Aug 22
Drama is what you love — and it’s what you’re going to get. If you’re married, prepare for a long talk about your relationship. And try actually listening for a change. If you’re single, the fun is about to begin. Warn anyone who comes near you that long-term plans are not on the current agenda. And work? Who cares? You’ll worry about that later. Next month, maybe. Or the month after. Best option? Damage control.
VIRGO
Aug 23 - Sep 22
Job changes are likely as the transformation energy hovers over your office. But since Mercury, your planet, is on strike, you’re doubtless getting mixed messages and confused plans. Nothing to worry about just yet. For yourself, plan your diary and organise your office. Sooner or later, the point will come clear. Stay awake, though. You don’t want to miss anything big.
