Aries (March 20 — April 19)
As much as you’d like to leave things to others, you know you’d get aggravated with their slow pace. Yet now, for reasons of diplomacy or, perhaps, affection you must entrust somebody with a task you’d rather deal with yourself. Instead of grumbling, hand it over and focus your attention elsewhere.
Taurus (April 20 — May 20)
For ages you’ve been concerned about certain practical matters or issues on the work front, but various obligations have prevented you dealing with them. Now that your ruler Venus has joined the Sun in accenting these matters, you can finally tackle them. Ironically, it will prove far less challenging than anticipated.
Gemini (May 21 — June 20)
For ages you’ve known you’d have to tend to certain seriously dull but vital practical matters. Now that your ruler Mercury has moved to accent these, the time has come. Not only that, with Mercury going retrograde on 4 October, you’re urged to tackle these as soon as you can.
Cancer (June 21 — July 21)
Although the New Moon took place several days ago, the odds are good you’re still reflecting on the insights it triggered. These aren’t just interesting. They’re also hugely informative. Soon, in fact, you’ll be using what you learned to assess and deal with a range of tricky, unexpected yet exciting developments.
Leo (July 22 — August 22)
When the planet of growth and good fortune, Jupiter, moved into Leo in mid July, you began a powerful cycle of expansion and discovery. While you’ll already be aware of the direction this is taking, certain ideas or offers seem more a nuisance than anything else. Nevertheless, explore absolutely everything.
Virgo (August 23 — September 22)
It’s not that you were avoiding the subject but, rather, you’ve been so preoccupied by certain tasks, you never got around to delving into one particularly tricky issue. While this wasn’t urgent at the time, it’s becoming more so by the day. In fact, raising and resolving it should take priority.
Libra (September 23 — October 22)
Pivotal facts came to light recently, and raised questions about existing arrangements. Then, in other situations, events themselves created a significant shift on the circumstances involved. These, which were triggered by the Libra New Moon, a few days ago, are all about a fresh perspective and, in some cases, a fresh start.
Scorpio (October 23 — November 21)
You’re always happier when you have a plan. But as has become clear over the past week or so, sticking to existing plans can complicate matters. If you can’t entirely let go of what you’ve organised, at least consider rethinking arrangements. A new approach will make your life a lot easier.
Sagittarius (November 22 — December 20)
The term ‘good fortune’ can be misunderstood. At the moment, that could be the case for you. While the recent link between your ruler Jupiter and Uranus, planet of innovation, is bound to trigger exactly that, good fortune, you won’t always recognise events as bringing opportunities, at least at first.
Capricorn (December 21 — January 19)
Obviously, the cautious Capricorn side of your nature dislikes getting involved in any situation where you’re short of facts. However, things are moving swiftly. So much that if you invest too much time seeking information, ideas, offers or opportunities could vanish as swiftly as they arose. At least explore these.
Aquarius (January 20 — February 17)
There’s no question about it. Your life’s in transition. Many of these events, triggered by the recent stunning link between expansive Jupiter and your ruler Uranus, are recognisable as being worthwhile. Ironically, what could prove best in the long run may be least welcome, if not seem unwise, at the moment.
Pisces (February 18 — March 19)
Ordinarily, if somebody went back on a promise or disappointed you, the result would be hurt feelings. Hopefully you’ve already realised that with the actual circumstances on which others based those plans changing, they had no choice. What’s more, the odds are good that you’ll find yourself making similar changes.
If it’s your birthday today
The move by your ruling planet Venus, into Libra, on your birthday is sending you a clear message; that is, be yourself. That may seem easy. However, you’ll soon begin to recognise how many compromises you make, large and small, mostly to keep others happy. Yet in most cases, the individual in question doesn’t care or would be delighted to talk things over. Regard this as a voyage of discovery, one in which each day offers valuable insights.
