Aries (March 20 – April 19)

You wouldn’t think a mix of inspiration and disappointment is the ideal formula for a fresh start. Yet events have you dwelling on what could be, in the future, and what’s no longer working, in the present. First, consider what must go and then, soon, you’ll be focusing on what has potential.

Taurus (April 20 – May 20)

Being ruled by the charming Venus, you are superb at withdrawing from unappealing situations without ruffling anybody’s feathers. Now, however, in one particular situation you must be far more direct. Tempting as it is to sugar-coat your words, you’ll regret it. The individual in question responds only to frank, if not blunt, exchanges.

Gemini (May 21 – June 20)

While all facts are considered reliable, whether the source is others or your own research, your instincts raise numerous questions. It’s partly because these feelings often come from nowhere and can be rather vague. Still, if you sense they are important, explore them. The resulting insights could be crucial.

Cancer (June 21 – July 21)

Planning ahead may be a virtue and make you feel secure about the future. However, you are urged to, at least, explore the ideas or stunning offers presently coming your way. They could be even better than they seem. Knowing that, although the resulting sudden changes might be disruptive, it will be worth it.

Leo (July 22 – August 22)

The imagination is a powerful tool. With it you can create exciting and inspiring moments. Yet when it’s allowed to run wild, it can be used to escape reality or even create entirely unjustified fears. If you are experiencing the latter, rein in your imagination. It can be challenging but you can do it.

Virgo (August 23 – September 22)

Obviously life is easier if you can make a single plan and stick with it. But you are dealing with the influence of your ruler Mercury being retrograde and circumstances that are themselves in transition. Knowing that, do something out of character and forget about making detailed plans. Go with the flow.

Libra (September 23 – October 22)

Most of the time, the influence of the New Moon is experienced only when it occurs. However, you would have been distracted by events triggered by powerful planetary activity at the same time. Consequently, you are only now benefiting from the subtle insights and fresh perspective it brought your way.

Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)

Achieving a balance between what you must do and what you want to do is always a challenge. Add the wonderful opportunities appearing, often unexpectedly, and you are confused. If in doubt, consider whether those ideas or offers are likely to come your way again. If not, give them priority.

Sagittarius (November 22 – December 20)

Many of the heavenly bodies, move through the signs swiftly. The Moon visits all twelve signs every month. However, your ruling planet, Jupiter, moves into a new sign only once a year. It’s doing exactly that in mid-July. Tackle and complete certain practical tasks now, before things change, probably, suddenly.

Capricorn (December 21 – January 19)

Your instincts are telling you to take a chance on something or somebody. While, ordinarily, you would ignore such feelings, they are haunting you. At least, explore the situation in question. Once you learn more, you’ll realise just how right those feelings are. So much, you’ll take further steps without a moment’s hesitation.

Aquarius (January 20 – February 17)

It’s strange how difficult changing even very simple habits can be. So it’s no surprise you are struggling with circumstances that are forcing you to alter more pivotal element of your daily routine or working life. Try taking it in stages. You’ll be amazed how swiftly you manage even very dramatic changes.

Pisces (February 18 – March 19)

Sometimes luck can appear in an unexpected, if not bizarre, form. This isn’t just the case now, events or encounters you regard as worrying could bring good fortune, although in disguise. Knowing that, at least explore every idea, offer or option that comes your way. This ensures that nothing passes you by.
