Aries (March 20 – April 19)
It’s easy to blame every unexpected twist and turn on the retrograde Mercury. However, this influences your own thinking, ideas and communication, nothing more. Much of the upheaval you’re facing is the result of the eclipses that have taken place over the past weeks, and the life-changing events they triggered.
Taurus (April 20 – May 20)
Last week the impatient Mars moved to join expansive Jupiter in the portion of your chart that accents who and what lifts your spirits. Begin now exploring the ideas and offers that come your way. Exciting as these may be, don’t rush into commitments. This cycle of exploration lasts until mid-November.
Gemini (May 21 – June 20)
Don’t be surprised if the attitude or behaviour of those closest, in your personal or working life, changes, and dramatically. On the 18th Saturn, the planet of challenge and focus, moved to accent this portion of your chart. This triggers difficulties, especially in certain joint issues, which need to be discussed.
Cancer (June 21 – July 22)
Over the past weeks you’ve sidestepped even mentioning certain concerns for fear that would trigger questions for which you have no answers. Now these matters are unavoidable. Forget about avoiding discussions. Once you’re actually talking things over, you’ll realise it was all straightforward, and you had no reason for concern.
Leo (July 23 – August 22)
Obviously, giving up on a plan or passion into which you’ve invested a lot of time, energy, thought and, perhaps, heart won’t be easy. But with so many of the planetary heavyweights moving into new positions within a relatively short period, circumstances have changed and so, too, must your priorities.
Virgo (August 23 – September 22)
While every sign is influenced by the retrograde Mercury, the fact it’s in your sign and influencing the practical and financial side of your life suggests complications are inevitable. Annoying as some of these may be, many will call your attention to problems, a few as yet undetected, that require immediate attention.
Libra (September 23 – October 22)
Whatever you’re doing, planning or organising, obviously you want the best possible outcome. Yet now, with so much powerful planetary activity in your sign, and its intensity only increasing over the coming week or so, what seems your best option could change, and change again. Knowing that, you’ll want to prepare accordingly.
Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)
Some obstacles are truly insurmountable. However, if your instincts are telling you certain seemingly impossible difficulties will shift, if not vanish overnight, you’re right. The trick is to be patient until October’s second week, when stunning aspects to your ruler Pluto usher in events as thrilling as they are unexpected.
Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)
There are few things more rewarding than tackling a complicated plan then, at long last, getting things organised. However, with Mercury retrograde until the 9th, and triggering confusion, even relatively simple arrangements are unlikely to last long. Knowing that, do as much as you can each day, but don’t struggle.
Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)
On September 18 your ruler Saturn moved into a new position. This shifted the focus from various alliances, in your personal and professional life, to deeper and more complex matters. This cycle will raise questions about certain burdensome, and often deeply personal, issues you’ve regarded as unchanging.
Aquarius (January 20 – February 17)
The single word ‘no’ can be said in many ways. Sometimes it’s an indication you’re unhappy with things and need to talk or, perhaps, slow the pace. Now, however, there are one or two situations in which you mean exactly that. You are drawing the line. Ensure that’s fully understood.
Pisces (February 18 – March 19)
Usually setbacks are a way of alerting you that certain arrangements need to be reviewed or, perhaps, rethought. Now, however, they’re a prompt to examine the actual situation in question. It may be that circumstances have changed or that one particular individual isn’t reliable. Whatever the case, this review is urgent.
