STAR GAZING
Aries
March 20 April 18
Exciting as the options coming your way are, judging by the current and coming weeks’ planetary activity, you’ll have to be patient. Obviously, this is irritating. Still, rush things and you’ll soon realise you spend more time dealing with details you ignored than had you taken it slowly from the outset.
Taurus
April 19 May 19
In early September your ruler Venus moved to accent close alliances, from personal or family, to those out in the world. While you’ve discussed and dealt with a number of matters and even a few tricky issues, one or two remain. Tackle them now. You’ll soon realise how wise this was.
Gemini
May 20 June 19
While the period when Mercury is retrograde, or moving backwards in the heavens, can lead to confusion, it can also be amazingly illuminating. How? Usually, the trick is to seek out the source of the initial confusion. Not only can you remedy this now, you’ll prevent it recurring in the future as well.
Cancer June 20 July 21
The Full Moon took place nearly a week ago. Yet because it accented potentially far-reaching changes in elements of your daily life and future plans, not only are discussions ongoing, the actual foundation on which they’re based is shifting. The secret? Wait and watch. Plans will be finalised, but not right away.
Leo
July 22 August 21
Not only has your ruler the Sun moved into one of the most inquisitive portions of your chart, its link with visionary Neptune suggests amazing ideas or inspiring offers are coming your way. Sudden? Probably. But these are good, enough that it’s worth learning with each stage of developments. You can focus on practicalities later.
Virgo August 22 September 21
As you begin the week, it would be no surprise if you weren’t still thinking about and, possibly, reviewing certain discussions and decisions you made around the Virgo New Moon on the 7th. While this was sometime early in the month, you’re still thinking about and weighing up your options. Take your time.
Libra
September 22 October 21
The communication planet Mercury moved into Libra in late August, for an unusually long stay, until early November. Now, with it retrograde and stirring up confusion, you’re in a period that will be as complex as it will be enlightening. The trick? Whatever the obstacle, focus on what you’re learning from it.
Scorpio
October 22 November 20
Judging by recent powerful planetary activity in Scorpio, you’re juggling both worthwhile changes and appealing, if untried, options. While, obviously you want to learn more, with the foundation on which plans are based shifting, your best bet is to try out one or two options, and only then think about future plans.
Sagittarius
November 21 December 20
As a Sagittarius, you’re an optimist by nature. While that means you expect the best, even of the unexpected, you also thrive on the resulting adventures. Those who advise caution mean well, but lack your upbeat view of life and its events. Don’t argue. Pursue whatever inspires you. Discussions? They can wait.
Capricorn
December 21 January 19
Appealing as the idea of offers that are coming from out of the blue may be, as a practical Capricorn, you’ll always double-check the facts. Most of the time, that’s wise. But with things moving so swiftly, you’ve no choice but to take it day by day. True, this could demand a last minute rethink. If so, it will be worth it.
Aquarius
January 20 February 18
Of the twelve signs, you’re most likely to turn the confusion triggered by the now-retrograde Mercury into useful insights. You may even get those who focus on the minor errors typical of this period to begin spotting the potential to learn from these . Better yet, you’ll spot the humour in it all.
Pisces February 19 March 19
It would be no surprise if, as the week begins, you’re still mulling over the twists and turns triggered by last week’s Pisces Full Moon. While some of what arose was unsettling, both events and discussions with others dealt with issues, and brought a new joy and depth to your life and relationships.
