  • Cancer (June 20 - July 21)
    Cancer (June 20 - July 21)

    The heightened emotions that anticipate next Saturday’s eclipsed Full Moon will transform concerns into excitement about new offers. While some won’t be clear until early July, your instincts are telling you how worthwhile they are.

  • Leo (July 22 - August 21)
    Leo (July 22 - August 21)

    It’s not sudden changes that are infuriating, but rather the problems they’ll cause arrangements involving others. Annoying as these are, the secret is to go with the flow. Better yet, get those who’re involved to explore options with you.

  • Virgo (August 22 - September 21)
    Virgo (August 22 - September 21)

    Initially it may seem you’ve misjudged numerous situations. While you may discover a few minor errors, the real problem is that things are changing swiftly. For now, forget about careful planning.

  • Libra (September 22 - October 22)
    Libra (September 22 - October 22)

    If you wish to deal wisely with the current crop of tricky situations, ignore the grumpy attitude of certain people. Instead, join others in exploring options, even those that are unexpected, as they unfold.

  • Scorpio (October 23 - November 20)
    Scorpio (October 23 - November 20)

    Instead of battling with seemingly worrying changes, focus on learning from everything, including unsettling developments. In fact forget about making one, lasting, plan. The more you explore, the more you’ll benefit in the long run.

  • Sagittarius (November 21 - December 20)
    Sagittarius (November 21 - December 20)

    Between the week’s planetary activity and next Saturday’s pivotal Sagittarius Full Moon, you could struggle with changes. Try to take a flexible approach, since what seems most unwelcome initially could turn out to be a breakthrough.

  • Capricorn (December 21 - January 19)
    Capricorn (December 21 - January 19)

    Urgent as certain situations seem, ultimately you’ll be better off not delving into issues in depth until you’re sure you have all the facts. Once you do, both your perspective on circumstances and your priorities are bound to shift, and radically.

  • Aquarius (January 20 - February 18)
    Aquarius (January 20 - February 18)

    You’ve been seriously considering changes in elements of your life, but nothing has gelled. While the current planetary focus is on such matters, there is no need to commit just yet. There are a lot more intriguing options to consider.

  • Pisces (February 19 - March 19)
    Pisces (February 19 - March 19)

    Since last year you’ve been dealing with developments as unfair as they’ve been frustrating. Waste no time on tactfully trying to keep others happy. Just this once, your needs must come first.

  • Aries (March 20 - April 18)
    Aries (March 20 - April 18)

    With circumstances shifting often, you’ll need to continue to monitor developments between now and the end of the month. Demanding as this is, what you learn will be as informative as it is profitable.

  • Taurus (April 19 - May 19)
    Taurus (April 19 - May 19)

    The current cycle of change is not going to slow down, thanks to the powerful planetary activity until the end of May. So focus on exploration. After that, you can concentrate on reorganising things once and for all.

  • Gemini (May 20- June 19)
    Gemini (May 20- June 19)

    With Venus, Mercury and, as of Monday, the Sun all in Gemini you’re feeling inquisitive and ready to explore new ideas. Do exactly that, knowing that plans should be flexible. This will free you to respond to late May’s amazing opportunities.
