Aries (March 20 – April 19)

Thinking and moving swiftly comes naturally to most Aries. However, that fast pace can mean you disregard what your instincts say. Despite that, judging by the powerful alliance between your ruler Mars and intuitive Neptune, there’s little chance you’ll miss welcome, if unexpected, insights regarding certain dilemmas.

Taurus (April 20 – May 20)

Not all obstacles are the same. Solid as those you’re facing now appear, the dramatic and sometimes seemingly miraculous events of the first half of October will change everything. Knowing that, do what you can now, but no more. The coming weeks’ events will soon reveal why it was wise to wait.

Gemini (May 21 – June 20)

Although you’ll be looking forward to the conclusion of your ruler Mercury’s retrograde cycle, this Friday, by no means will all of life’s problems vanish. However, issues related to Mercury, particularly frustrating errors and misunderstanding and, worse, the self doubts these trigger will come to a welcome conclusion.

Cancer (June 21 – July 22)

Somebody in particular isn’t just being unreasonable, there’s no hope of discussing certain crucial issues, at least now. That being the case, busy yourself with other matters. Once these are dealt with, you’ll have a sense of accomplishment and, happily, the individual in question will be in a better mood.

Leo (July 23 – August 22)

For ages issues have troubled close friends or colleagues and, in turn, overshadowed your relationship. Now these are coming to a head. Tempting as it is to give others advice, you’d regret it. Instead, plan to do a lot of listening. This will mean far more than you realise.

Virgo (August 23 – September 22)

Often petty disputes are exactly that. Now, these could expose either previously undetected errors or past misunderstandings. However, you won’t necessarily be able to spot these easily. Knowing that, be prepared to ask a few questions and, if necessary, delve into the matters in depth. It will be worth the effort.

Libra (September 23 – October 22)

By no means are you a control freak. Yet because you think through even the simplest of arrangements in depth, once you’ve organised them, it’s unlikely you’ll be willing to rethink things. However, with Mercury retrograde in your sign, and both revealing errors and triggering unexpected events, changes are inevitable.

Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)

A week from now, the planet of good fortune, Jupiter, forms a rare and superb link with your ruler Pluto. The way things are now, however, it undoubtedly seems unlikely anything wonderful is coming your way. But if ever a week held the potential for dramatic transformation, it’s this one.

Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)

Watching arrangements you’ve worked hard to organise come undone is hugely frustrating. Yet you’ve no power to halt this process. Dire as this seems, what’s going is clearing the way for the stunning, if completely unexpected, events promised by next week’s alliance between your ruler Jupiter and the life-changing Pluto.

Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)

Every sign was influenced by Saturn’s move into a new position on September 18th. However, because it’s your ruling planet, you’ll have experienced the resulting changes in several areas of your life. While some are clear cut, others will take time to emerge, as will the benefits they bring.

Aquarius (January 20 – February 17)

Between the recent pair of eclipses and the fact Mercury is retrograde, confusion isn’t just likely, it’s inevitable. Annoying as this may be, what you learn when untangling any errors, mistakes or misunderstandings will be most interesting. So much so, in fact, you’ll actually be thankful those issues arose.

Pisces (February 18 – March 19)

You may not be in the mood to stand your ground with somebody who’s tricky on the best of days. While you’ve sidestepped aggravating discussions, the issues you’ve been avoiding have only become more complex. On the plus side, confronting these now enables you to deal with them all at once.
