Aries (March 20 — April 19)
Even the quietest of Aries, and there are plenty, still lives life intensely. Whatever you’re doing, you commit to it wholeheartedly. While that’s admirable, you can stick stubbornly to plans that really should be changed, as is now the case. The more swiftly you rethink things, the easier it will be.
Taurus (April 20 — May 20)
Ideally, you’ll base plans partly on a mix of the situation, your own needs and the practicalities involved. The other part, your hopes and your vision for the future, is as important, if not of greater significance, as it is what fuels your commitment to turn those plans into reality.
Gemini (May 21 — June 20)
The thought of reorganising elements of your daily routine or health regime is nothing new. You’ve had good intentions but never got around to it. Thursday’s eclipsed New Moon not only kick-starts the process, the sudden events it triggers give you options that previously simply wouldn’t have occurred to you.
Cancer (June 21 — July 21)
It’s easy to blame both disagreements and the problems you’re facing on the retrograde Mercury. But its cycle of reverse movement, which ends on the 25th, involves ideas and communication, nothing more. In the process of untangling the errors it triggers, however, more serious errors, past and present, are often revealed.
Leo (July 22 — August 22)
Planning ahead may be wise. But not this week or, indeed, during the rest of October. You’ve already witnessed a range of changes as exciting as they’ve been unexpected. Better yet, next week’s alliance between Venus, your ruler the Sun and the visionary Neptune ushers in a new perspective on your future.
Virgo (August 23 — September 22)
For ages you’ve intended to rethink certain pivotal elements of your life. But you’ve not only been unsure exactly what to do, you feared the disruption it would cause. However, October’s first eclipse kick-started the process and the events this week’s eclipse brings will take things to the next stage.
Libra (September 23 — October 22)
While some signs dislike being wrong, and won’t admit it when they are, that doesn’t bother you. What does are the errors triggered by Mercury being retrograde in Libra, and the way the resulting confusion inconveniences or, perhaps, upsets others. Still, you needn’t worry. It doesn’t matter as much as you think.
Scorpio (October 23 — November 21)
Although every sign is influenced by Thursday’s eclipsed New Moon, it’s in Scorpio, so marks the end of one chapter and beginning of another. While you may already know about certain changes, because eclipses are about breakthroughs, what’s best may be what’s least expected and, initially, least welcome.
Sagittarius (November 22 — December 20)
Obviously you aren’t responsible for others’ mistakes. But still, because they can complicate your life, you owe it to yourself to help deal with them. True, this is requires both time and effort on your part. Still, what you learn from the process will more than compensate for the effort required.
Capricorn (December 21 — January 19)
There are times when discussion is an essential part of decision making. However, because October’s two eclipses, on the 8th and this Thursday, are all about sudden changes and breakthroughs, the options you talk over one day could change the next. Instead, wait, watch and say very little.
Aquarius (January 20 — February 17)
Exciting as the ideas or offers triggered by late September’s brilliant link between Jupiter and your ruling planet Uranus may have been, taking things further would have been unsettling. Now that you’ve had a chance to review those, you’re still unsure. There’s no rush, as this aspect recurs twice in 2015.
Pisces (February 18 — March 19)
Every sign is influenced by this week’s eclipsed New Moon. While some will struggle with the sudden changes it triggers, you’re in line for breakthroughs. This suggests anything from restrictive arrangements coming to an end, to offers that are as surprising as they are promising. In every case, explore them all.
If it’s your birthday today
Although you have a remarkable sense of when it’s wise to leave things as they are and, equally, when it’s time to force issues or give reluctant individuals a push, there are a number of situations in which you’re getting impatient. While that’s understandable, the emphasis in your birthday chart is on making slow, but steady, progress. Aggravating as this seems, certain valuable insights will surface, but slowly. Once they have, you’ll be relieved you took it easy.
