STAR GAZING
Aries March 20 April 18
In late June your ruling planet, the forthright Mars, moved to accent life’s duties and obligations. Since then, you’ve faced a series of often crucial but just as often dull issues. While dealing with them won’t have been much fun, the freedom you’re now experiencing more than justifies the patience required.
Taurus April 19 May 19
Although you actually enjoy dealing with various of life’s practicalities, from imposing order at home to helping others with tasks they can’t seem to handle, you’re feeling overwhelmed. That’s no surprise. With your ruler Venus accenting such matters, these are as pressing as they are persistent. Still, getting them done is a relief.
Gemini May 20 June 19
After several weeks of the diligence triggered by your ruler Mercury’s presence in the part of your chart that accents duties to others, both the planet and your mood have shifted. While there may be a few remaining details or obligations to deal with, you’re probably already feeling freer and more excited about life.
Cancer June 20 July 21
For you, as a Cancerian, the current New Moon is about reflection and, in certain situations, questioning. While some of what you learn will clarify you thinking about existing plans, other insights could lead to ideas or discussions as exciting as they are unexpected. For now, focus on exploration. Finalise plans later.
Leo July 22 August 21
Usually when you’re facing a decision, even one that’s complicated, you’ll take action first, the objective being to learn from it. However, you did that recently and are even more puzzled than you were initially. The trick? Do something out of character, and take things slowly. You’ll soon realise how wise that was.
Virgo
August 22 September 21
For you, planning ahead isn’t just practical, it prevents you worrying about what’s next. However, because the current Virgo New Moon is all about breakthroughs, if not welcome yet unexpected events, the more flexible your arrangements and your thinking, the better. The biggest surprise could turn out to be best.
Libra September 22 October 21
In mid-August your ruler Venus moved into Libra, triggering a cycle of questioning, reflection and change. While you’ve already rethought several arrangements and are exploring others, you’ve put off tackling a few. Focus on these. Once you’ve learnt more, and are more involved, you’ll realise they’re of far greater significance than you imagined.
Scorpio October 22 November 20
When you make a plan, it’s only after considerable thought. Then, once you begin, you double check each step to ensure everything is going as planned. Now, however, not only is it unlikely things will proceed as expected, even seemingly unwelcome changes will prove as worthwhile as, ultimately, they are welcome.
Sagittarius November 21 December 20
The plans you’ve been struggling to organise are finally coming together. However, certain unimaginative, if not compulsive, individuals are asking for greater detail or proof that what you have in mind will work out. Tempting as it is to argue, ask the necessary questions. You’ll be amazed what you learn.
Capricorn December 21 January 19
The current New Moon is influencing everybody. In your case, it’s about broadening your horizons, by who you meet and the ideas you explore. However, as a practical Capricorn, you’re wary of wasting time on something that may not work. For now, focus on what and who you encounter. Decisions? They can wait.
Aquarius January 20 February 18
Usually you’ve a knack for overlooking even seriously unsettling clashes with others, knowing you can talk things through later. But one particular individual is pretending nothing is wrong, which makes discussion impossible. Actually, they’re busily trying to convince themselves everything is fine. The solution? For the time being, back off.
Pisces
February 19 March 19
Somebody seems determined to blame you for problems that aren’t your responsibility or, perhaps worse, pick a fight. Whatever the case, and there could have been several such situations, don’t try to brush off their stories. State the facts, clearly and uncompromisingly. Then state firmly there’ll be no further discussion.
