ARIES

March 20 – April 18

After an intense cycle of review, often triggered by the confusion accompanying Mercury’s retrograde cycle, which ends today, your focus shifts. Now you evaluate changes, the elements of your life you’ve offloaded and examine the impact of those decisions on practical matters. While what you discover isn’t always welcome, it’s the perfect starting point for a serious reorganisation.

TAURUS

April 19 — May 19

What you’ve learned since early May was challenge, but it’s also given you a much-needed push. Add Mercury retrograde in your sign until today, and you know what’s wrong. With both the courageous Mars and your ruler Venus both moving into Taurus, you begin making changes that, only recently, you’d have regarded as beyond your reach.

GEMINI

May 20 — June 20

Certain situations and individuals intimidate you, and recently you’ve had to face these head on. Challenging as it was at the time, you’ve learned lots about yourself and them. Once your ruler Mercury ends its retrograde cycle today, those insights will be clearer, enough that you’re ready to tackle recent problems and, more importantly, to take advantage of golden opportunities.

CANCER

June 21 — July 21

Unsettling as recent developments in circumstances around you and in others’ lives may be, ultimately everybody will benefit, including you. In retrospect, you’ll regard these as breakthroughs. However, it may take time for understand their full impact, so focus on exploring, ideally along with those closest. This doesn’t just prove informative, but strengthens those most important relationships in your life.

LEO

July 22 — August 21

As much as you’ve learned recently, you’ve been frustrated by your inability to turn those ideas into action. That’s probably for the best, since with Mercury only just resuming forward motion today, the path has been littered with obstacles. As important, unexpected events put a new gloss on plans, giving you the courage to set far-reaching goals.

VIRGO

August 22 — September 21

Making plans with an eye to altering them, perhaps several times, may be out of character. But you’re doing exactly that. Between recent exciting offers and a growing emphasis on exploration, you shouldn’t settle on only one objective. Add the boost triggered by the end of your ruler Mercury’s retrograde cycle, today, and life has a new lustre.

LIBRA

September 22 — October 22

Advising those closest, at work or at home, seems natural. But they need to make their own decisions, even if they’re mistakes. With Mercury only just ending its retrograde cycle today, your facts could be wrong and, perhaps, their priorities differ from yours. Ironically, in letting these worries go, you find you’re able to enjoy golden moments with loved ones.

SCORPIO

October 23 — November 21

For ages there’s been talk of changes in your domestic or working life, but you’ve successfully avoided them. Now they all come at once, and after some initial anxiety, you realise how rewarding these could be. True, with Mercury just ending its retrograde cycle today, hard facts are scarce. Still, each day, life looks a bit sunnier.

SAGITTARIUS

November 22 — December 20

Because it may take months before you fully understand the impact, and reach, of the ideas or offers triggered by your ruler Jupiter’s recent amazing alliance with Neptune, regard all plans or decisions as tentative. This may worry those who want guarantees, but it gives you room to explore. And aim high. Miracles are within your reach.

CAPRICORN

December 21 - January 18

Obviously, you dislike making agreements based on unreliable information. But that’s exactly what you’ll have to do if you’re to make the best of the current cycle of growth. Events, new ideas or offers could benefit you financially and broaden your horizons. However, this means taking chances. If in doubt, give things a try. You’ll only regret what you didn’t do.

AQUARIUS

January 19 — February 17

The recent encounter between the bountiful Jupiter and Neptune in Aquarius has shaken up your world and broadened your perspective. But not everything is as easy as you’d like. Don’t let this confusion put you off. Ideas as far-reaching as these take ages to settle in. Give yourself the gift of time, and simply allow these glorious events to unfold.

PISCES

February 18 — March 19

You’ve often dreamt of glorious offers. Now that they’re coming your way, you’ve mixed feelings. You worry whether they’re for real, you’re concerned others haven’t been as well-favoured by fate. Forget all these quibbles and explore these with vigour. There are many changes before anything’s settled, and in the process, most of those concerns will be dealt with.
