How the planets align

On Wednesday there’s a new moon in Sagittarius at 22.57 GMT. On the same day Jupiter turns direct after having been retrograde since late July. It’s a wonderful time for celebrating and showing gratitude for the gifts and goodness that surround us despite the gloomy news that often takes centre stage. Most affected this week are those born February 18-23, May 20-26, August 22-28 and November 21-27.
