Aries (March 20 — April 19)
When you first get involved in a plan or project your commitment is total. However, recently you’ve faced setbacks. While these were challenging, and it’s understandable that they undermined your enthusiasm, this is no time to give up. The trick is to remind yourself what inspired you to begin with.
Taurus (April 20 — May 20)
Every one of the heavenly bodies, with the exception of the Sun and Moon, go retrograde from time to time. This includes your ruler Venus, which has just begun its cycle of reverse moment. It lasts until early September and, happily, is about reflection rather the confusion Mercury’s retrograde cycle triggers.
Gemini (May 21 — June 20)
One of your more admirable qualities is your inquisitive nature. However, not everybody is interested in the world around them, or the people in it. This is exactly the kind of character you’re dealing with now. Accept that, and you’ll stop wondering why you can’t get them excited about anything.
Cancer (June 21 — July 22)
With both the Sun and Mercury joining Jupiter in accenting your resources, a review would be timely. This means rethinking what you earn and owe. But even more, it’s about examining the ideas and offers coming your way.
Leo (July 23 — August 22)
However many facts you gather now and over the coming week, you’ll still have trouble dealing with the changes taking place. Although you’re in no mood to be patient, try to wait until the Leo New Moon on August 14. The accompanying fresh perspective will clear up everything, possibly overnight.
Virgo (August 23 — September 22)
Ordinarily, when you organise something, those plans go as intended, because you think things through. However, even you, at your canniest, couldn’t have anticipated the twists triggered by the current planetary activity involving Uranus. Unsettling as events seem, in retrospect you’ll recognise them as breakthroughs.
Libra (September 23 — October 22)
Don’t let the fact there haven’t been any rumblings about one particularly tricky issue recently convince you it’s vanished. It hasn’t and, in fact, is about to surface again. Acknowledge that and you can prepare yourself, not only emotionally but also you can get the necessary facts in order.
Scorpio (October 23 — November 21)
Recent discussions about potential changes in elements of your way of living or working seemed frank. But now that you’re thinking about it, you realise there are a number of ideas you didn’t mention and concerns you ignored. Address these now, even if it’s awkward. You’ll be glad you did.
Sagittarius (November 22 — December 21)
Few things are more frustrating than, having settled a tricky issue, it springing back, but in another form. These complications are annoying, but are the work of a series of difficult aspects to inventive Uranus, which suggests that when you reflect on them, you’ll realise how instructive they were.
Capricorn (December 22 — January 19)
Although the Capricorn Full Moon was in early July, it brought several issues involving others to a head. While you’ve resolved most, a few are still on your mind. Rather than worry, raise these with the individual in question. They’re probably thinking about it as well. A discussion could resolve everything.
Aquarius (January 20 — February 17)
Your instinctive understanding of what makes others tick is an asset, or it is most of the time. However, now that circumstances require you draw the line, you’re concerned. You needn’t be. This is one situation where things are clear cut. Others know that, and expect you to take a tough stance.
Pisces (February 18 — March 19)
Certain activities once brought you great joy. While they don’t matter as much, they’re still part of your life. Now that events are forcing you to reconsider these, you’ve the perfect excuse for letting them go. If you’re struggling with this, remember growth comes through change, not keeping things the same.
