ARIES
March 20 — April 1
Unfair as situations seem or heavy-handed as the confrontations triggered by today’s encounter between your ruler Mars and Pluto may be, do a little digging. What you learn won’t just case these events in an unexpected light, insights about the individuals involved will also be enormously thought-provoking. Enough, in fact, that you recognise how worthwhile taking a different approach could be.
TAURUS
April 19 — May 19
Ideas involving new pursuits or offers to travel to interesting but unfamiliar places intrigue you. What you gain from spreading your wings this way won’t just be interesting, it could lead to a course of study that brings you new excitement, and perhaps new profits. Doubts mustn’t be allowed hold you back. You’ll only regret what you didn’t do, not what you did.
GEMINI
May 20 — June 19
Judging by the increasingly intense focus on partners, at home or at work, and increasingly intense practical or financial matters, others are going to be preoccupied. Initially getting them to discuss the facts might be difficult. However, it’s worth being a bit pushy. Once they actually begin talking things over, they’ll become increasingly reliant on you for both pivotal questions and valuable insights.
CANCER
June 20 — July 21
You’ve some important decisions to make. Some are entirely personal but as many involve others. The latter are complicated by the dramatic developments taking place in the lives of those around you. Worrying as things seem on the surface, your instincts must be telling you that even disruptive developments are spurring others to review existing arrangements and to undertake long overdue changes.
LEO
July 22 — August 21
This hardly seems the ideal time to rearrange elements of your daily routine or working life. However, changes in the world around you won’t wait, which means you’re better off plunging in a getting involved now. Disruptive as what’s taking place seems, this is only breaking up patterns, while appropriate in the past, could actually hold you back in the future.
VIRGO
August 22 — September 21
Exciting as the ideas currently being tossed around may be, you still regard them as overly optimistic. Still, continue to discuss them since by Wednesday’s encounter between your ruler Mercury and the planet of good fortune itself, Jupiter, who you meet or what you learn could reassure you that these aren’t just worthwhile, but that they’ll become your focus in the new year.
LIBRA
September 22 — October 22
For ages you’ve been aware of tensions involving family or property matters. But, fortunately, others haven’t turned them into dramas. Now events, or somebody’s decision to alter arrangements, make these top priority on everybody’s list. However, once you’re actually talking things over, and certain details that needed to be dealt with long ago are revealed, your mood will change to relief.
SCORPIO
October 23 — November 20
As when you need to make a point, you prefer to do it subtly. However, today’s run in between Mars and your ruler Pluto indicates you’ll need to be unaccustomedly direct. Ironically, what you learn about others and the circumstance involved as a result of the resulting forthright exchanges is so worthwhile it could make you rethink how you approach others.
SAGITTARIUS
November 21 — December 20
It seems your easy-going attitude about who’s responsible for what or financial arrangements has lead to problems. As a result, you need to deal with difficulties both swiftly and ensure others will live up to their end of commitments. What you learn about changes in arrangements in the process won’t just be interesting, it could transform elements of your financial situation.
CAPRICORN
December 21 – January 19
Fully understanding the insights triggered by last Saturday’s Capricorn New Moon could take weeks. Combine this with the profound shift in both circumstances and your perspective that accompany the presence of Pluto and Mars in your sign, and you’ll have more question than answers. While this slows your pace, what you learn about yourself, others and events brings you lifelong benefits.
AQUARIUS
January 20 — February 18
Don’t be concerned if elements of your life that you’ve considered unchanging are suddenly in transition, or simply vanishing. Worrying as this is, what’s on its way out is only clearing the way for the remarkable cycle of growth, personal and in terms of your work or lifestyle, triggered by the expansive Jupiter’s move into Aquarius early in the new year.
PISCES
February 19 — March 19
Tempting as it is to give advice, support or even money to those in distress, you’re urged to steer clear. Unsympathetic – or unkind – as that seems, things aren’t nearly as bad as they seem. It’s just that because everybody, including you, is in a cycle of dramatic change, sometimes the old must go before the new can appear. Events will soon bear this out.
