Aries (March 20 – April 19)

Typically, you’d battle to overcome obstacles, whatever their form. But those triggered by your ruler Mars’ link with the stern but sage Saturn are different. They may cause delays but, if so, they’re so you can pick up on certain essential insights. Focus on these. What you learn will be thrilling.

Taurus (April 20 – May 20)

If you’re still reviewing last week’s events, ideas and offers, it’s no surprise. The rare encounter between your ruler Venus and the fortunate Jupiter would have led to exciting if somewhat unexpected developments. Explore every single one of them. You’ll only regret what you didn’t consider, not what you did.

Gemini (May 21 – June 20)

Although you’ll have been discussing various ideas involving the domestic front, including potential big time changes, by no means have you heard all your options. Rather, the much needed fresh perspective triggered by the current New Moon could take your thinking, and your decisions, in an entirely different direction.

Cancer (June 21 – July 21)

Because most Cancerians have a powerful sentimental streak, you could easily turn minor issues with those closest into a serious source of concern. But these need to be discussed and, judging by the aspect involving the forthright Mars and stern Saturn, frankly. These exchanges will clear up confusion, and surprisingly swiftly.

Leo (July 22 – August 22)

Now that both your ruler the Sun and Mercury are accenting practical matters, you must do your sums. This applies to finances but just as much to the time, effort and even heart you invest in certain pursuits. Analyse what you’re getting in return, and if your efforts are still justified.

Virgo (August 23 – September 22)

Often the New Moon marks a time of low energy and reflection, especially as it’s in Virgo. But with so much going on, you could feel the need to keep up. It’s neither necessary nor wise. Within days the world around you and your perspective will have changed, sometimes dramatically.

Libra (September 23 – October 22)

As fond as you may be of certain individuals, you’re not happy about leaving crucial matters to them. Yet they seem convinced that would be helpful. Gently but firmly make it clear that although you’re interested in their ideas and advice, both plans and the resulting decisions are up to you.

Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)

Initially you battled changes in certain longstanding arrangements. Since then, however, you’ve realised that because the actual foundation on which those were based had shifted, these couldn’t remain as they were. Now, you’re not only relieved, you’re now free to explore ideas and options that once seemed unrealistic, if not impossible.

Sagittarius (November 22 – December 20)

With both the Sun and Mercury in the crucial midheaven angle of your chart, you’ll need to make decisions involving elements of your work or lifestyle. However, they aren’t that pressing. If others insist, make plans but organise them in such a way that, if necessary, they can be easily changed.

Capricorn (December 21 – January 19)

By no means are you rigid in your thinking or attitude. Yet, still, the fresh perspective on several existing arrangements triggered by the current New Moon could come as both a surprise and a relief. Suddenly you’ll realise there are other and, often, easier ways to approach certain longstanding arrangements.

Aquarius (January 20 – February 17)

Don’t make the mistake of assuming that those around you understand just how much you need their support, especially in certain tricky situations. While you’ve been wise to play your hand slowly and calmly, it’s made it seem everything’s fine. Explain why and how their help would be welcome.

Pisces (February 18 – March 19)

Recent events have been so complicated you’ve often been unsure what was fair. Now, however, not only is your perspective clearer, you also feel it’s important that you discuss these views with others right away. While they may not agree, at least at first, you’ll soon win them over.

If it’s your birthday today

Although the New Moon and its accompanying fresh perspective influences everybody, the fact it’s in Virgo and takes place on your birthday accents personal reflection and renewal. You may already know certain elements of your life must go but may be waiting to see what’s next. Challenging as taking those first steps when you’re short of facts may be, it’s the best way to get things moving. Soon your perspective and, indeed, your life will be transformed.
