Aries March 20 – April 19

Being a fire sign, you thrive on a gruelling schedule. But every once in a while even you need to slow down, and that’s the case now. Take a break, if only for a few days. When you return to the fray, it will be with new vigour and, even better, optimism.

Taurus April 20 – May 20

For certain individuals, a frank conversation is the solution for almost every problem. But you tend to feel that while some things benefit from being discussed, others are better left unspoken. You’re right. The best approach is to maintain a diplomatic silence until others realise the truth of this.

Gemini May 21 – June 20

When questions about whether one particular individual or, perhaps, certain arrangements are trustworthy, you’ve always brushed them aside. Now that your ruler Mercury has moved to accent such matters, however, the time has come to take them seriously. What you learn could relieve those doubts or, alternatively, lead to serious changes.

Cancer June 21 – July 21

The move by the expansive Jupiter into Cancer, a year ago, began a cycle of growth, good fortune and unexpected discoveries. While some of what arose was immediately recognisable for what it was, it may take some time yet for you to recognise the value of other encounters and experiences.

Leo July 22 – August 22

Despite your hopes to the contrary, it would appear there’s no way around one particularly tricky obstacle. You’re dreading getting involved in this, mostly because you fear it would be a waste of time. Once you do, however, the results you get for your efforts will be both amazing and gratifying.

Virgo August 23 – September 22

Allowing others to make decisions for you isn’t easy. But in certain situations, you’ll have no choice. This cycle, which begins with the bountiful Jupiter’s move into the most strategic portion of your chart, on the 16th, may be challenging. But what you gain over time more than justifies being patient.

Libra September 23 – October 22

As much as you enjoy exploring new ideas and getting to know interesting people, you’re eager to take action on those plans you’ve been discussing. You will, but probably not until this coming Thursday, the 18th, when your ruler Venus moves into the most decisive angle of your chart.

Scorpio October 23 – November 21

Complaining can be an outlet for frustration or, alternatively, a sign one particular situation needs to be reviewed and, perhaps, rethought. The problem is, you’re already aware of this and have put off doing anything because you’re worried big time changes will be necessary. If so, they’ll come as a relief.

Sagittarius November 22 – December 20

You’re usually not indecisive. Yet in several situations, you’re oddly unsure what to do. That’s as it should be. With both circumstances around you changing but, even more, elements of your life undergoing a powerful transition, you’re in the midst of a period of reflection. Those decisions can and should wait.

Capricorn December 21 – January 19

The adage says “a change is as good as a holiday”. The move by the expansive Jupiter into a new position of your chart, in a few days’ time, gives you a chance to experience this phenomenon, and in many ways. The first step? Explore everything that comes your way.

Aquarius January 20 – February 17

Planning ahead may be a virtue. At the moment, however, it could create all sorts of complications. On the 16th, the expansive Jupiter moves into a new sign, and to accent close relationships, which suggests changes in existing alliances or, perhaps, a new one could transform elements of your life.

Pisces February 18 – March 19

After a period that’s been devoted to various practical, domestic and family matters, the tide’s turning. In fact, with both Mercury and Venus moving to accent love and life’s pleasures, at long last you’ll be able to take a break and put yourself and those who you adore first.
