Aries March 20 April 18
Every sign is influenced by the current Full Moon, and the heightened activity and feelings it triggers. However, it’s in Aries, so marks a turning point. In some cases, this is no surprise. But in others events could be as unexpected as they are unsettling. Still, go with the flow. You won’t regret it.
Taurus April 19 May 19
So many are on edge, partly because the changes taking place are as unexpected as they are extensive. Yet, despite the resulting unsettled feelings, you’re confident things will work out for the best. They will. The secret? Bear in mind that it will take a while for the mood, and circumstances themselves, to settle.
Gemini May 20 June 19
Those around you are speaking in terms of making lasting decisions. This seems unrealistic, especially because you’re unsure about your plans for tomorrow. Tempting as it is to raise that, and suggest others adopt a more flexible approach, they’d only argue with you. The secret? Ensure your own arrangements can be easily rethought.
Cancer June 20 July 21
Everybody welcomes good fortune, whatever its form. And judging by the current and coming powerful links to Jupiter, the planet of growth and opportunity, you’re just beginning an expansive cycle, one of often unexpected, but exciting encounters. Be aware, these can’t be forced but, rather, will surface in their own time.
Leo July 22 August 21
While every sign is influenced by Mercury’s retrograde cycle, which is just coming to an end, you’ve been especially frustrated. Before you begin celebrating, think back to the number of major mistakes you sidestepped because you caught minor errors and they forced you to pause and review those arrangements. Thank Mercury retrograde for that.
Virgo August 22 September 21
One particular individual seems convinced you’re responsible for dealing with certain of their problems, if not actually keeping them happy. The problem? In the past you’ve bent over backwards to accommodate their unreasonable expectations. You feared saying no would cause a drama. It wouldn’t have. They were expecting you to refuse anyway.
Libra September 22 October 21
Although the pivotal Libra New Moon took place two weeks ago, you’re still juggling the resulting changes. Some involve what’s on its way out. But of even greater importance are the changes events and, in some cases, unexpected offers are bringing into your way of thinking, living and perspective on the future.
Scorpio October 22 November 20
Recently, you’ve avoided even mentioning certain ongoing, and unsettling, matters. Actually, you’re urged to discuss these frankly, and soon. Not only are others better informed than you think, they’ve some brilliant ideas to offer. The trick? First, ask when they’ll be ready for a chat. After that, the rest will be easy.
Sagittarius November 21 December 20
It seems destiny’s triggering amazingly good fortune. In fact, judging by this week’s stunning link between fiery Mars and your ruler Jupiter, what arises will be as thrilling as, often, it’s unexpected. The challenge? It’s leaving decisions in the hands of others. As you’ll soon recognise, they’re far better informed than you are.
Capricorn December 21 January 19
Don’t be surprised if events force you to rethink certain once-simple arrangements. These were organised when life was less complicated. While many of the changes you’re wrestling with will, clearly, be of benefit, you’re still anxious. The trick? However challenging it is, avoid planning ahead. Live one day at a time.
Aquarius January 20 February 18
You’re benefitting from the presence of the planet of growth, expansion and good fortune, Jupiter, in Aquarius until the end of the year. While the promise of some developments will be immediately clear, others won’t be. The secret? Explore absolutely everything. What’s least expected could turn out best in the long run.
Pisces February 19 March 19
Somebody isn’t just apologising for the recent misdeeds, they insist on taking action to compensate for any problems, cost or disruption. The issue? By no means are they responsible for everything. Certain other individuals aren’t just involved, they’re the ones who need to apologise. For now, say nothing. Wait and see what happens.
