When Venus planet of love, harmony and pleasure glides into Pisces, our collective mood changes to a gentler more emotional tone. Pisces is mutable, flexible water, like the ocean that links us all. And the arrival of Venus softens and smoothes those waters. In astrology Venus is ‘exalted’ in Pisces which means this is the best possible sign for it to be in. This is good news for us all!

Compassion will be heightened during Venus’s journey through Pisces. We will feel the pain and suffering of others more keenly and will feel moved to respond and help. Whereas Virgo (its opposite sign) gets involved in the practical side of care; Pisces attends by tuning in and sending empathy on an emotional, intuitive level. In our practical world this may seem a lesser function but it is just as valid as we all long to be understood.

Before we learnt to speak, we were dependent on our carers to intuit what we needed or wanted. This was our earliest unspoken language and we still use it, especially when Venus is passing through Pisces.

Our imagination is also opened by Venus in Pisces and finding outlets for creative expression becomes even more important. Art, music, dance, photography, film and theatre, all benefit from this inspiration which is around until March 21st.

And for any romantic souls out there, whereas Valentine’s Day is always February 14th whatever the planetary line-up: Venus in Pisces is romance itself. You may find yourself more open to this possibility and who knows, so may your loved one or longed for one. And you may find yourselves on the dreamy shores of love.

Pay attention to your dreams too as they can be a source of inspiration and information. Prayer, meditation and healing can be other expressions of this subtle energy. With Venus in Pisces we understand better than ever, that we are all in the pool together and whatever happens to one, happens to us all.

Follow your intuition, express your emotions, be creative and send your positive thoughts and energy out to where they are needed most.

Aries:    It is all happening in your 11th House this month. Five planets and the New Moon are all focused here which means friends, groups, community, organisations, campaigns and humanitarian ideals are going to be HUGE! Any or all of these will be sources of pleasure as Venus glides through from 1st – 25th. Jupiter is bringing opportunities and Saturn is consolidating your growth.

You may have been rethinking one or more of these areas of life since Mercury went retrograde here at the end of last month. When Mercury goes direct again on 21st you can apply any conclusions you have come to.

Your ruling planet Mars wants to continue pushing ahead in your finance zone but Uranus planet of change, disruption and revolution (also in your finance zone) is squaring Saturn from 1st – 18th. This throws up conflict between your previous position on money, possessions, security and values and this new awakening in your thinking about the bigger picture. Collective projects grab your imagination and you may be feeling more political than usual. Could your values be changing? (Yes they could… ).

New Moon on 11th marks a new cycle in your collective awareness and would be a great time to join or start a group, movement or campaign. Groups usually need leaders and being a natural pioneer, you may find a new role or even find your long, lost, true tribe. Revel in this new sense of belonging!

Taurus:    Half of the planets are gathered at the top of your solar chart this month. This means the BIG focus is father, career and social status. Your ruling planet Venus is also smoothing things along until 25th. People in authority are likely to favour you. If you need their help – just ask. Ambitions should go well too. Jupiter could offer opportunities and Saturn helps you to build on them. The waves part easily for you to make headway!

You may have been rethinking your ambitions since the end of last month when Mercury went retrograde. Mercury goes direct once again on 21st and you can start to move forward once again with your new ideas. Look out for good ideas on 14th too when Mercury and Jupiter meet briefly. New Moon on 11th falls in your father, career and social status zone too. This marks a new cycle in your public life. Make decisions that will help your worldly standing in the month and year ahead.

From 18th the Sun moves into your friends, groups, community and humanitarian ideals zone and Venus follows on 25th. Make time for friends enjoy interacting in groups, even if that has to be online.

Mars continues to forge ahead in your sign all month, giving you energy, stamina and determination to forge ahead. But Saturn, one of the planets in your professional sphere squares Uranus in your sign from 1st – 18th. This adds pressur. For you to achieve status in the world, you will have to change. Taureans are often not lovers of change, unless it was their idea but now circumstances or your ambitions demand that change. Go with it!

Gemini:    The focus is on your travel, studies and philosophy zone this month. Five planets are urging you to explore the wider world and all it has to offer. If current restrictions do not allow this physically, you can still explore online and even undertake a course of studies. ‘Meeting’ and learning from people from different cultures or belief systems is another rich avenue to explore. The great outdoors – the locally accessible face of the earth can also be exciting to explore.

Legal matters may loom large or you will feel pulled to reflect in depth on principles, ethics and perhaps your own spiritual development. Your current ideas or opinions maybe challenged around 5th – 7th and New Moon on 11th marks a new cycle here. Is there a course of study or consciousness-raising practice that you could start?

You have probably been thinking about some of these matters since your ruling planet Mercury went retrograde at the end of last month. You should have a better idea of how to proceed once Mercury goes direct once again on 21st.

Saturn is part of the planetary coqtail stimulating your higher mind and squares up to Uranus in your 12th House for the first 18 days of the month. A breakthrough is trying to take place. This could be about compassion, spirituality, healing or original creativity behind the scenes.

Venus starts to smooth your path of worldly status from 25th. Take a fresh look at your ambitions while it is up there!

Cancer:    A huge gathering of planets in your 8th House bring deep experiences around joint funds, ‘the money of others’, sharing and intimacy. New Moon on 11th marks a fresh cycle here and can mark a birth of some kind. Venus helps to create intimacy and also enables you to speak helpfully to others in crisis. Collective projects grab your imagination too and you may find yourself feeling more political than usual. If you have been thinking of joining something, now would be a great time!

Mercury went retrograde at the end of last month in this same area of your solar chart, bringing about a rethink in one or more of these same areas. Mercury goes direct again on 21st which should help you to decide how to look at things and how to proceed.

From 1st – 18th Saturn and Uranus are square which presents a dilemma. This could be between shared funds or ‘the money of others’ and group, community or humanitarian ideals. You may also find yourself dealing with taxes, debts and inheritances too. Have you made a will or thought about that? How you share your resources now, matters too. Alternatively whether someone should be a friend or intimate partner could be a question very much on your mind.

You will be feeling more philosophical from 18th as planets slowly start to drift into your travel, deep study and philosophy zone. From 25th Venus brings pleasure from studying different cultures or meeting people of different ethnicities or belief systems, albeit online. Despite the present restrictions, you are still part of a wide and wonderful world.

Leo:    For any lonesome Leos, February is going to be quite a month! Five out of ten planets are in your opposite sign of relationships and partnerships. And Leos already in relationships will also benefit from this. Venus is gliding through until 25th so harmony and pleasure are on the cards too.

You may have been reviewing your position on relationships and partnerships (including business partnerships) since Mercury went retrograde at the end of last month. Mercury goes direct again on 21st and you can start to apply your conclusions.

Saturn, one of the planets gathering in your partnerships zone, squares up to Uranus until 18th. This presents a dilemma between the need for partnership and the corresponding need for a change to your father, career and social status zone. With Mars still in this part of your chart, you have the energy and determination to push your agenda ahead. You just have to work out what that is!

New Moon on 11th marks a fresh start in relationships and partnerships. Define what are you hoping to find here too and play your part in helping it to happen.

Virgo:    Your natural affinity for work, health and service to others is the massive focus this month. Half of the planets in the solar system are urging you to get a dog Brigit! (sorry everyone) – Half of the planets in the solar system are urging you to look deeply and afresh at your well-being. Your daily routine, how you care for yourself on a physical level in terms of nutrition, sleep and exercise and what you include in your daily routine are all up for scrutiny and change! This is the physical side of self-nurture. Give it your full attention.

Venus makes relations with colleagues and daily companions pleasant until 25th. And your daily rituals can be a source of pleasure too! You may have been thinking about all of this recently, since your ruling planet Mercury went retrograde at the end of last month. What do you need to adjust? Reviewing how much time and attention you give to physical movement can be helpful. Having a positive mindset is key too. Mercury goes direct once again on 21st, when you can start to apply the conclusions of this review.

New Moon on 11th is the start of your Work and Health New Year. This is the best time to start a new regime. You are so good at caring for everyone else. Now it is time to do the same for yourself. Do it!

Saturn squares Uranus from 1st – 18th which creates a dilemma between your daily reality, your sense of well-being and belief system. Legal matters, publishing, travel or cultural differences connected to work or health could come up too. Work opportunities or restrictions or health matters could challenge your beliefs, principles or ethics.

Relationships and partnerships start to attract your attention later in the month. And Full Moon creates an emotional high tide around 26th, in the lead up to Full Moon in your sign in the morning of 27th. This may stir up conflict between your individual needs and partnership needs

Libra:    Half of the planets are in your 5th House of romance, children and creativity for most of the month. Your ruling planet Venus is here too, bestowing pleasure and ease from 1st – 25th. Saturn and Uranus both get involved with Venus around 5th – 7th which could be both challenging and exciting at the same time. This is good for creativity but could bring up a dilemma of whether to stay with the status quo or leap into a new adventure or take your chance with a certain someone… New Moon on 11th marks a fresh cycle here too.

Mercury went retrograde at the end of last month in this same area of your solar chart. This will have called for a review in your thinking about love affairs, creativity or children. Communications may have been difficult in these areas too but your way of thinking about them should get easier after Mercury goes direct on 21st.

Saturn squares up to Uranus from 1st – 18th which presents quandaries around your partner’s finances or ‘the money of others’ and children or creativity. Should you let things continue as they are or bring about a change?

From 18th work, health and service to others take on more importance. This is good for relations with colleagues and daily companions and you will find pleasure in your rituals and daily routine. Taking on a voluntary role could be pleasurable too. Where could you help?

Scorpio:    Half of the planets gather at the bottom of your solar chart this month, in your 4th House. This means mother, home, roots and foundations are your most important focus. Venus is part of this gathering too until 25th. So home in every sense should be a source of pleasure, be that the building you live in, its emotional dynamics, your country or Mother Nature and our planet. Mother figures take on a fresh importance too and your urge to nurture others will be strong. Express it.

You may have been thinking about some of these things since Mercury went retrograde at the end of last month. It goes direct again on 21st and you can start to apply the conclusions you have come to. Deep lessons are taking place here over the coming two years and we need you to do your part in helping this to happen.

New Moon on 11th also marks a new cycle here. Make resolutions that will help you to create and attract the comfort that you need. Self-nurture and personal development should also be part of your plan. Counselling or therapy to explore your roots and emotional patterns can be hugely helpful. Make sure nutrients and emotionally nourishing food are on your menu too.

Saturn squares Uranus from 1st – 18th which creates the need for change in some way. Deep inner-needs are generating an urge for change and awakening in relationships and partnerships. These are big monumental shifts and not a quick switch. Saturn and Uranus will be returning twice more this year, so whatever does not ‘go in’ now, will be repeated until the message hits home.

Sagittarius:    Communications is your big focus this month. And if charm is needed to smooth negotiations, you are full of it. But Mercury is retrograde until 21st, so take care before then, that you are clear in all you say and double-check others have fully understood you and vice versa.

You may have been thinking recently about different forms of communications and how you deal with them and perhaps also physical movement. Drealings with neighbours and siblings could be part of this too.

New Moon falls in your communications zone too on 11th. Are there any trading, speaking or writing projects you would like to try out, study or teach in the year ahead? This could expand the mind, widen your channels of communication, help with trading and keep your thinking buoyant. Keep an eye open for good ideas around 14th too. Your products, ideas and words (spoken or written) could start to reach a wider audience. Lay down the plans and get started!

Saturn is also carrying out a communications review and squares Uranus until 18th. This brings up existing tension between your mindset and your work, health or need to be of service to others. How your thoughts impact your body could also be an area to explore. Communications with colleagues or daily companions (including pets) might need to change too. Whether it is work or health-related, something has to change.

Venus adds ease and pleasure to your mother and home zone from 25th. Personal development and self-nurture can be enjoyable too. Now what about that fantastic food project?

Capricorn:    Five planets are focused on your 2nd House of money, possessions and security this month, including Venus from 1st – 25th which helps to make your finances look rosier. Jupiter and Saturn are part of the line up which suggests opportunities and the ability to consolidate them are very much around.

Mercury went retrograde at the end of last month, leading to a rethink about all of this. But Mercury goes direct again on 21st and you can then start to put your conclusions into action. Keep an eye open on 14th too when Mercury and Jupiter can come up with good ideas.

Your ruling planet Saturn is squaring up to Uranus from 1st – 18th which presents a dilemma around finances and romance, children or creativity. Whether to go with tradition or branch out in your own way could be a big question.

New Moon on 11th marks a new cycle in your finance zone. Draw up a budget for the year ahead that supports your true values. And yes, they are changing…

Aquarius:    The Sun ball remains in your court this month until 18th, radiating warmth, optimism and freer self-expression. Mercury lends you mental energy too. In fact half of the planets in our solar system are in your sign for much of this month! This is all about identity and who you now truly are.

Mercury went retrograde in your sign at the end of last month, so you may have already been giving this some thought. Meanwhile be very clear in all your communications and make sure you have fully understood others and vice versa. Revisiting how much time and attention you give to physical movement can be helpful too. When Mercury goes direct again on 21st, you can be more relaxed about communications and start to put your ideas into action. Keep a look out for good ideas on 14th too. Venus is in your sign until 25th, making you darling of the zodiac. Your charms will be at their highest and you will attract others to you.

Saturn in your sign squares up to Uranus from 1st – 18th. This creates tension between who you are becoming and how well your home, its dynamics, relations with mother-figures and your present position on self-nurture serve you… This is the first of three such transits this year. These issues are not going to go away. Give them your attention. Mars is even on hand, offering you energy to do something about your roots and foundations (past or present).

New Moon on 11th in your sign, marks the start of your Personal New Year. Make decisions that will help to generate what you hope to find in your emotional life in the month and years ahead. Many Happy Lunar Returns! The world is looking fresh and bright. And half of the planets in the solar system are backing you. The stage is set for you. Take heart and reach for the stars. Look! Is that a new you on the horizon?

Pisces:    Energy levels may have been low recently but that is about to change. The month before our birthday we are often at low ebb as the Sun has been away from us for the longest time. The good news is the Sun is bringing fresh energy and a sense of renewal to you from 18th!

Your birthday whether this month or next is your personal new year and a more meaningful time to make resolutions for the year ahead than January 1st. Many Happy Solar Returns! It is also the perfect time to explore your planets for the year ahead with a good astrologer!

Your main focus this month is your 12th House which is naturally ruled by your sign. So much is happening internally. It could be good to get support from a counsellor or therapist to help you to navigate it all. The 12th House rules the pain and suffering of others, institutions (prisons and hospitals etc) charities, compassion, healing, the collective unconscious and creativity behind the scenes.

Opportunities to understand your inner-workings are around and you should seek them out. Spiritual practices can be put in place too. You may have been thinking about some of these matters as Mercury has been carrying out a review here since late last month. Mercury goes direct once again on 21st and you can start to apply your conclusions.

Mars is providing lots of mental energy but there may be a clash between your rational mind and your unconscious as Saturn squares Uranus from 1st – 18th. This is another area to be untangled. It can also be powerful fuel for creative work which can be a therapeutic outlet.

There may be conflict between your individual needs and partnership needs around 26th, in the lead up to Full Moon in your opposite sign in the morning of 27th. But your charms are at their height once Venus glides into your sign from 25th. Better warn others you are a heart-melter and perhaps a heart-breaker too!

Aries:    Venus is helping your professional life from 8th. This is good for getting backing and support from people in positions of authority. Do not be afraid to ask for favours or support if you think it could help you. New Moon on 13th also falls in this area of your solar chart. This marks a new cycle and as Pluto is only one degree away, this could be a transformational fresh start with father-figures, career or social status. This is actually a better day to make New Year’s resolutions than Jan 1st!

Your ruling planet Mars leaves your sign on the 6th and moves into the 2nd House of your solar chart. This heats up your urge to deal with money, possessions, security and values. Uranus is already sitting here and when Mars moves in, it joins Uranus from the 16th to the 20th. This is not a time for compromise but a time for striking out in your own original direction. And others will just have to get used to that…

As the month progresses, the emphasis moves to your 11th house of friend, groups, community, society and humanitarian ideals, especially from the 19th when the Sun illuminates these matters. This new emphasis is echoed in the year ahead too, as Saturn and Jupiter moved in to this area of your solar chart in mid-December. Jupiter and Saturn chips it brings growth and expansion an opportunity in one or more of these areas and campaigns come into this and politics. And Saturn brings responsibilities or lessons in some way.

This is where the Full Moon on 28th that we mentioned earlier comes in. Mars and Uranus are at 90*to the Moon and Jupiter is close to the Sun. This gives it an extra emphasis which should help to propel you forward to and this might come in quite unexpected ways but it could be quite exciting as well which is some thing that Aries usually welcomes…

Have a good month!

Taurus:    Your ruling planet Venus may help ‘the money of others’ to come your way until 8th but Venus then glides for the rest of the month through your 9th House of travel, deep study, philosophy and ‘the truth’, helping to bring pleasure and good relations with people from different countries and cultures. New Moon on 13th falls in this area of your solar chart too and also lands on Pluto, making it a regenerative fresh start. If you have been considering adding a spiritual practice or studies to your life, now could be a good time to start.

On 6th Mars leaps into your sign (as it does approximately every two years). This is a change of gear and energy settings around how you see yourself and how you go into the world. Every planet has a metal which best describes it. And for Mars this is the metal is iron which describes your determination to push your goals forward. Others beware! You will have no trouble being assertive, unless you veer into aggression which (of course) we would all like to avoid…

As Uranus has already been shaking up your sense of self for almost two years, when Mars joins forces with it (especially from 16th – 20th), you will want to strike out in a way that truly expresses who you now are.

Your worldly status got a boost from Jupiter and Saturns’ arrival at the top of your chart last month. Mercury is full of ideas but then goes retrograde on 30th but the Sun brings warmth and light here from 19th. Full Moon on 28th in your mother and home zone involves Jupiter and also triggers Mars and Uranus. Venus meets Pluto on the same day, so expect emotional intensity and an awakening…

Have a good month!

Gemini:    Relationships run smoothly for the first eight days of the month and then Venus joins Pluto and the Sun in your 8th House of joint funds, intimacy and sharing. You could benefit from ‘the money of others’ or become more aware of the power of money (or sex) when Venus joins Pluto on 27th – 28th. But before that there is a New Moon on 13th, also involving Pluto which marks a deep new cycle in one or more of these areas of life.

Meanwhile your ruling planet Mercury is thinking hard about travel, deep studies, different cultures, philosophy and ‘the truth’. Ethics and legal matters may come into this too. Jupiter and Saturn activated this part of your solar chart last month and the Sun’s arrival on 19th sheds light on some of the things you have been wondering about. Mercury goes retrograde on 30th though which will require a period of further thought.

Mars is busy with friends, groups and community until 6th. It then leaps into your 12th House of the unconscious. Uranus has been stirring things up here over the pasttwo years and the arrival of Mars will make it impossible to ignore the messages your unconscious is presenting you with. Dreams can be informative, pay attention to their content.

Full Moon on 28th falls in your communications zone and triggers your beliefs and your unconscious. You could also get involved in charities connected to the law, different countries or belief systems. Creativity behind the scenes and your online world could take off too!

Have a good month!

Cancer:    Just when you thought relationship or partnership issues had calmed down and things were getting sweeter (helped along by Venus). The New Moon on 13th shakes everything up again. This is a fresh start though and a transformational one too as Pluto is very close by. Start as you hope to go on.

Mars leaves your ambitions, father, career and social status zone from 6th and moves into your 11th House of friends, groups and community. This adds extra energy and determination to group projects or campaigns. As Uranus is already shaking things up here, you can expect further dynamic surprises, especially around Full Moon on 28th. Friends, groups and communities you belong to can help to bring an awakening to you.

Mixed messages are coming from your joint funds, intimacy and sharing zone. Jupiter and Saturns’ new arrivals bring expansion and contraction while the Sun brings hope from 19th but Mercury goes retrograde from 30th, as further thought is needed on one or more of these matters.

The Full Moon on 28th has Jupiter (planet of growth, expansion and opportunity) alongside the Sun and the Mars – Uranus conjunction at 90° to it. This will be a ‘big’ Full Moon in terms of repercussions!

Have a good month!

Leo:    Romance, creativity and dealings with children go well until 8th, then Venus moves on into your work, health and service to others zone. This helps you to find pleasure in your daily rituals and in your dealings with colleagues and daily companions (including pets). New Moon on 13th also falls in this area of your solar chart marking a fresh cycle. It also lands on Pluto, planet of transformation which could indicate a transformational new way forward. This could take be a new regime, job, daily routine, voluntary position or pet.

Your ambitions will get activated by hot, energetic Mars from 6th when it leaps into your 10th House of father, career and social status. The time for action is here! Uranus has also been shaking things up here since 2019 and when Mars joins in, who knows where this could go? This is no time for compromise. Make your mark! It will be full of originality. Mars and Uranus actually meet from 16th – 20th and get triggered by the Full Moon on 28th too.

Relationships and partnerships are big news this month too. Jupiter and Saturn made their dramatic entry into your opposite sign last month and will stay for many months bringing both opportunities and restrictions or responsibilities. Your ruling planet the Sun warms things up and gives light from 19th. But Mercury goes retrograde on 30th to review recent thoughts or communications.

Have a good month!

Virgo:    Home is enjoyable as the month begins, then from 8th Venus brings pleasure through romance, children and creativity. New Moon on 13th marks a fresh cycle here too and with Pluto nearby, this could be a transformational new cycle in your love life, dealings with children or creativity

Mars leaps into your 9th House on 6th, spuring you into action on the travel, studies, cultural, ethical and spiritual front. Uranus which has been carrying out a 15-month review here goes direct on 14th, ready to sweep in changes and when Mars joins forces with it from 16th – 20th, there will be no going back!

Another big emphasis this month (and this year) is your work, health and service to others zone. Jupiter and Saturn both moved into this area of your solar chart last month, in search of growth and structure and perhaps bringing opportunity for you to become an authority in some way.

Your daily routine, self-care and well-being need to be high on your list of priorities. You can also help others to prioritise theirs likewise, especially once the Sun warms this area of your chart from 19th. Your ruling planet Mercury goes retrograde here on 30th, so a review is dues but you will proceed with surety once Mercury goes direct (on 21st Feb).

Full Moon on 28th falls in your spiritual House and forms a dramatic aspect to Jupiter in your work and health zone and also to Mars and Uranus in your 9th House of exploration. This will trigger you to make your beliefs active: be that a symbolic journey, reaching out to people from different countries or cultures, publishing something with impactful content, having a strong presence online or carrying out in depth research of your own. We know that as a helpful Virgo, you will also be helping us all along too.

Have a good month!

Libra:    Communications go well until 8th as your ruling planet Venus smoothes things along. Its focus then moves on to your 4th House of mother and home. Things are starting to calm down a little here compared to the past two years. And New Moon here on 13th with Pluto is a powerful new cycle of regeneration in one or more of these areas of life. Are you planning to move home or make major changes in your existing home or major changes in your personal development? Now would be a good time. Dealings with mother figures or bring a mother may undergo a transformation too!

On 6th Mars leaves your opposite sign and leaps into your joint funds, intimacy and sharing zone. It also joins Uranus here from 16th – 20th which can bring sudden changes to your finances involving others (e.g. partners, tax departments, loan companies or inheritances. Your intimate life could take an unexpected turn or you could be struck by revolutionary zeal to recycle or redistribute earth’s resources.

The other lively area of your solar chart this month is your 5th House of romance, children and creativity. Jupiter and Saturn recently moved in here looking for expansion and results. The Sun illuminates and energises these matters from 19th but then Mercury goes retrograde here from 30th, calling for a review of some kind.

Full Moon on 28th falls in your friends, groups and community zone but this too sparks off the urge for expansion regarding romance, children or creativity and also has repercussions in your shared zone. This could be hot romance, a creative triumph or having to pay off a partner’s or child’s debts (or vice versa). It looks pretty interesting whichever!

Have a good month!

Scorpio:    Finances start the month looking rosy but from 8th the focus changes to communications. New Moon on 13th marks a fresh start here in some way and as your ruling planet Pluto is nearby, this could be a transformational new start. If you have been thinking about taking (or giving) a course, this would be a great time to start. Relations with neighbours, traders or siblings could also start afresh. Self-talk can be transformed too.

Mars leaps into your relationships and partnerships zone on 8th, joining Uranus which has been shaking things up there for almost two years. These two planets dislike compromise and want to express themselves without restraint. And when they fully meet from 16th – 20th, anything could happen… The Full Moon on 28th triggers off relationships too and Jupiter’s involvement makes the reaction even bigger.

Jupiter and Saturn freshly in your 4th House of mother and home are calling for expansion and concrete outcomes on the home front, be that the physical home, emotional conditions within it or dealings with mother-figures. Self-nurture and personal development come into this too. The Sun helps to illuminate everything from 19th which is helpful. Mercury goes retrograde on 30th to review recent ideas or communications about all of these matters will be a big focus in the year ahead.

Venus joins your ruling planet Pluto from 27th and you may find yourself having an almost obsessive attraction to someone. Your patterns of power in relationships may come up too. Transformation should come about through equal relating, not the power of one over the other. What is your usual pattern? Can you talk about it?

Have a good month!

Sagittarius:    You remain darling of the zodiac for the first week of January, as Venus continues to glide through your sign. It then moves into your finance zone which could help things to look rosier. The New Moon on 13th falls into this area of your solar chart too, marking a new cycle. And with Pluto close by, this could be a radical new cycle. Is it time to make an audit or a budget? Or can you slim down your possessions and get investments more closely in line with your value system? Or could you create a new form of income? On 28th when Venus joins Pluto, the power of money could become apparent too…

On 6th Mars moves out of your romance, children and creativity zone and into your 6th House. This zaps up work and health issues and you will be more pro-active in attending to matters that need seeing to. Relations with colleagues or daily companions may be more heated but you will be willing to walk the extra mile to be of service to others. Uranus has already been shaking up matters here for some time and when Mars joins forces from 16th – 20th, you may want to change your daily routine (or work) completely!

Communications are a big focus now, since Jupiter and Saturn moved last month into this area of your solar chart. The Sun brings things to light from 19th regarding how you think, speak or express yourself. Dealings with neighbours, siblings and traders come into this too and have you thought of taking or giving a course of some kind? Mercury goes retrograde on 30th requiring further thought about all of this but it will be a strong focus for the year ahead!

Full Moon on 28th is a dramatic one and challenges some of your ideas. Your beliefs may be called into question. And in terms of being of service, what would a pure, uncompromised expression of your goodwill look like?

Have a good month!

Capricorn:    Jupiter and Saturn may have left your sign last month but there is still plenty going on! The Sun ball remains in your court until 19th radiating warmth, optimism and freer self-expression. Mercury lends you mental energy too until 8th and Venus glides into your sign the same day, making you darling of the zodiac until early Feb.

New Moon on 13th is in your sign and falls on Pluto, making it especially potent. This marks a deep new cycle and is your personal New Year and a better time to make resolutions for the year ahead than Jan 1st. So what would you like to achieve in terms of personal transformation this year?

Mars has been generating ‘energy’ in your mother and home zone for the past six months but moves on from 6th. This adds heat, conflict or passion to dealings with romance, children and creativity. Uranus has been shaking things up here for a long while and when Mars joins forces with it from 16th – 20th you will want to do your own thing and others will have to get used to that!

Finances are looking lively but complicated and Full Moon on 28th in your joint funds, intimacy and sharing zone looks interesting too as Jupiter is close to the Sun and Mars and Uranus are at 90° to both the Sun and Moon. This may impact your or a partner’s finances (hard to say whether for better or worse). A lover, child or creative project could be involved too.

Have a good month!

Aquarius:    Energy levels may have been low recently but that is about to change. The month before our birthday we are often at low ebb as the Sun has been away from us for the longest time. The good news is the Sun is bringing fresh energy and a sense of renewal to you from 19th!

Your birthday whether this month or next is your personal new year and a more meaningful time to make resolutions for the year ahead than January 1st. Many Happy Solar Returns! It is also the perfect time to explore your planets for the year ahead with a good astrologer.

Your ruling planet Uranus goes direct on 14th in your father, career and social status zone. This completes a four-month review of whether you have been compromising too much in any of these areas. Mars is hot on the case too from 6th and when it joins Uranus from 16th – 20th, there will be no stopping you! If you have been kindling any ambitions, now is the time to send them into visible orbit! And with the Sun joining Jupiter and Saturn (freshly in your sign) from 19th, little can stop you!

Mercury goes retrograde in Aquarius from 30th indicating some things will need re-tweaking but once direct (from Feb 21st), it will be full speed ahead once again.

New Moon on 13th involves Pluto and falls in your 12th House. This marks a deep new cycle looking at healing (yourself and others), the collective unconscious, your online life, charities and creativity behind the scenes. Whereas Full Moon on 28th falls in your relationships and partnerships (professional or personal) zone and stimulates growth and changes to your social status…  Looks interesting!

Have a good month!

Pisces:    People in authority continue to look kindly on you for the first week of the month, then the focus changes to friends, groups, community, society and humanitarian ideals. New Moon falls here on 13th, incorporating Pluto which marks an intense new cycle. Friends, groups, communities campaigns or organisations can help to bring about transformation for you and vice versa.

Meanwhile Mars leaps into your communications zone on 6th making you active (and perhaps feistier) on the verbal front. This gives energy for writing, physical movement, trading and being more pro-active with neighbours and siblings. Uranus which has been bringing changes here since 2019 also goes direct on 14th, completing a four-month review. Having examined whether or not you have been compromising too much, you are ready to be a revolutionary force once again. And when Mars catches up with Uranus (from 16th – 20th) you will want to fully express yourself and in the way you want to do it!

Another big focus this month is your 12th House of the unconscious. Jupiter and Saturn both moved into this area of your solar chart last month. Healing yourself (and others) is now high on the agenda. Creative work behind the scenes and your online life can be helpful too.

Full Moon on 28th falls in your work, health and service to others zone. It also involves Jupiter which is looking for growth in your compassionate, creative or spiritual life. The Sun is also shedding light on your inner workings which can help with healing. The Mars – Uranus meet-up is looking for new ways of thinking too. Old ways of thinking have had their day.  Take any negative self-talk out of the equation and express yourself!

Have a good month!

Aries:    Your ruling planet Mars is enjoying forging ahead this month, strong and determined in its own sign. And it is more than ready to challenge powerful Pluto in Capricorn (which Mars squares up to from 15th – 23rd). This is a major challenge to authority figures, governments, corruption and the status quo! Only valliant, fearless Mars has the courage to tackle Pluto. We are grateful to you Aries, for doing this and for your bravery.

Meanwhile, you may benefit from ‘the money of others’ and enjoy the pleasures of intimacy up to 15th as Venus glides through your shared zone. It then follows New Moon and the solar eclipse (on 14th) into your travel, studies, ethics and legal zone. This all marks a fresh start in some way and from 15th Venus brings pleasure through exploring the world (physically or meta-physically) and through interactions with people from different countries or cultures.

The biggest news this month though is the departure of Saturn and Jupiter from your 10th House of father, career and social status. Saturn has been holding you down for three years, perhaps with added responsibilities or restrictions. This will have forced you to carry out a review of how you had been dealing with these things in the past and how you want to deal with them in the future. The time to apply your conclusions has now arrived as Saturn moves on from 17th.

Jupiter has also been stimulating these issues with opportunities for growth. This completes on 19th and you can hopefully move forward wiser and better for this leaning process. Pluto remains in this area of your chart however for another four years, seeking further transformation and impelling you to explore the use of power by others and of course yourself!

Saturn and Jupiter both move into your 11th House. Your new area of learning and expansion is going to be in friends, groups, community, campaigns and humanitarian ideals! Collective visions will be looking for leaders. Are you ready?

Taurus:    Your ruling planet Venus is helping to bring pleasure and harmony through relationships and partnerships until 15th. Venus then joins all the action happening in your 8th House of joint funds, intimacy and sharing. The New Moon and solar eclipse takes place here on 14th which marks a new cycle and Venus adds pleasure here too!

You may benefit from ‘the money of others’ as the 8th House also covers the money of partners, taxes, debts and inheritances. The 8th House also covers the fundamental processes of life: birth, sex and death, including the small deaths and rebirths we go through at various transition points in our lives. Sharing and the allocation of resources could be part of this new cycle too.

Your unconscious is once again on your side as Mars moves forwards. This challenges your world view, principles or belief system in some way though around 15th – 23rd. Two of the three heavy-weight planets that have been demanding your attention and deep thought all year (and before) are moving out this month. Saturn completes its review on 17th, leaving you free to apply your conclusions on travel, the world, different countries, cultures and belief systems (including your own), ethics, the law or natural laws.

Whereas Saturn has been presenting you with one or more of these matters for three years, Jupiter has also been involved for the past year, urging you to grow. Jupiter too moves out this month on 19th.

And your new area for growth, expansion, opportunity and learning is your 10th House of father, career and social status. New responsibilities may arrive. Your ambitions and status will be tested and boosted. A new world of possibilities awaits!

Gemini:    You will enjoy tending yourself on a physical level and your daily rituals will be a source of pleasure during the first half of the month, as Venus continues through your work, health and service to others zone until 15th. This is also good for relations with colleagues and daily companions (including pets).

Then from 15th Venus glides into your opposite sign, helping to smooth along and bring pleasure to relationships and partnerships. This is very timely as just one day before on 14th the New Moon and Solar Eclipse fall in this same area of your solar chart, marking a fresh start in an existing relationship or a new partnership (which includes professional partners). Your ruling p!anet Mercury is here too which makes for a lot of thought and communication around the significant new cycle that this brings.

Mars is generating energy in your friends, groups and community zone all month. You may have energy to give to campaigns or humanitarian movements and politics may anger you into action too. The only thing to watch out for here are power struggles around 15th – 23rd, connected to joint funds, intimacy and sharing. How resources are distributed or used or who holds power over them may all be issues you feel moved to take action on.

Two huge players in the planetary hierarchy are moving this month out of your 8th House of birth, sex, death and transformation, joint funds (including taxes, debts and inheritances, intimacy and sharing. Saturn which has been presenting you with weighty issues connected to any of these areas for the past three years, moves out on 17th and you can now apply your conclusions. And Jupiter planet of growth and opportunity which has been around for a year, moves out on 19th.

The new destination for Saturn and Jupiter is your 9th House of travel, exploration, different cultures, the higher mind, principles, publishing, ethics and the truth. Your mind is in search of a broader, deeper reach. You are embarking on a great adventure full of lessons but also full of opportunities!

Cancer:    Romance or dealings with children and creative projects remain sweet until 15th. Then Venus glides into your work, health and service to others zone for the rest of the month. This is good for relations with colleagues and daily companions (including pets). You take pleasure too in your daily rituals and tending yourself on a physical level. On 14th New Moon and the solar eclipse mark a fresh start here too. Could it be time for a new regime in some way or a new job or volunteering position? Whichever department applies to you, make choices that will enhance your well-being.

You will be glad to note that your ambitions are moving forwards once again as Mars makes headway at the top of your chart in the public realm of father, career and social status. This may challenge the status quo with partners or partnerships though around 15th – 23rd.

You may also be pleased to know that Saturn which has been weighing down your relationships and partnerships zone for the past three years, leaves this area of your solar chart on 17th, freeing you to finally apply your hard-won conclusions! Jupiter which has been trying to free you up here or the past year moves on too on 19th. Pluto (and possible power battles) remain for another four years but many lessons should now have been learnt.

As Saturn and Jupiter move into Aquarius, you can now move on to explore your new area of learning: joint funds, sharing and intimacy. Joint funds includes joint accounts, taxes, debts and inheritances. While the transformational processes of life which are also ruled by your 8th House, include birth, sex, death and transformation! This does not necessarily mean a physical death, it applies to one era of life ending and another beginning. Welcome the new adventure and be open to deep learning!

Leo:    Venus is helping to smooth things along on the home front and in dealings with mother-figures until 15th. You may also want to beautify your home or share its pleasures with others through entertaining or just take comfort there yourself.

Your interest may be more piqued though from 15th when Venus glides into your 5th House of romance, children and creativity. (These are some of Leos’ favourite things!) The day before Venus arrives, there is a dramatic New Moon and solar eclipse here which marks a fresh start in one or more of these areas of life in some way. Romance is always a pleasure but depends on a responsive other, whereas creative projects are completely within your grasp! Seize this great start!

Mars is forging ahead all month in your travel, education and culture zone. You have energy and find energy involving yourself with these. Different belief systems and cultures create interest. Laws. principles and ethics may also be areas you feel drawn to take action on. There is a wide world to explore, physically (including the great outdoors) or virtually or meta-physically.

Keep an eye out though in your dealings with colleagues or daily companions around 15th – 23rd when there may be a danger of you insisting you are right, to the detriment of those relationships. You may be right but your survival does not usually depend on that. It is humane to politely make your point but allow others an escape route occasionally.

Big boys Saturn and Jupiter leave your work, health and service to others zone on 17th and 19th. In Saturn’s case this marks the end of a three-year period of hard work that has achieved concrete results. You can now apply any conclusions that you have come to during this period of building a foundation for yourself. Jupiter has been pushing for your growth for the past year too and your daily routine and spiritual practices should leave you in a better place than you were in a year ago.

As Saturn and Jupiter move into Aquarius, your next area for learning, review, expansion and growth is in your 7th House of relationships and partnerships (including professional partnerships). Prepare to embark on an absorbing adventure in the year ahead!

Virgo:    Communications and trading go very well during the first half of the month as Venus smooths the way, bringing pleasure through speaking, writing, learning, teaching, physical movement and dealings with the general public, neighbours and siblings.

Then from 15th Venus moves into your mother and home zone. The New Moon and solar eclipse the day before on 14th mark a significant new cycle here. This can involve self-nurture and personal development, as well as your approach to your home and dealings with mother-figures.

Mars is very active all month in your joint funds, intimacy and sharing zone. This can heighten passions or make you more determined to put your financial interactions with others in order. This can include taxes, debts, joint accounts and inheritances. Be aware though that steps you take around 15th – 23rd could disrupt love affairs, children, speculation or creative projects in some way.

Two big planets change sign this month. Saturn and Jupiter that have just spent three years and one year respectively in your romance, children and creativity zone move. Saturn leaves on 17th and Jupiter on 19th. This is a big shift for us all, including you! Hopefully you have grown during this process. And with lessons learnt, you can now apply your conclusions.

The new focus is on your 6th House of work, health and service to others: areas with Virgoans understand perhaps better than any of us! This will be another opportunity to excel in making the world a better place by being of service. Help us all to find the devotion that comes so naturally to you!

Libra:    Your ruling planet Venus helps to keep finances looking rosy until 15th. Venus then adds charm and helps to smooth along communications, especially with siblings, neighbours and with trading. Short journeys should be pleasurable too. The New Moon and solar eclipse on 14th mark a new era in communications. Do not forget to include different forms of physical movement in the wider subject of communications too.

Partners or partnership issues are thankfully moving forwards once again all month, although there may be an impasse around 15th – 23rd when they challenge the power balance relating to mother or home… Or if you have big plans for a personal development project, that too may become a target…

You will have achieved a lot over the past three years while Saturn has been residing as your teacher in your 4th House of mother and home, roots, foundations and personal development. Jupiter has been offering opportunities for growth and expansion here too over the past year. But both of these big players move out of this segment of your solar chart on 17th and 19th respectively and a new adventure begins!

The new adventure lies in your 5th House of romance, children and creativity. And there will be tests, lessons and growth. Welcome them all!

Scorpio:    Your charms continue to dazzle others up to 15th as Venus continues to glide through your sign, making you even more irresistible than usual! Venus then moves into your 2nd House of money, possessions, security and values which is a busy area this month. Venus usually helps finances to look rosier. In addition the New Moon and solar eclipse on 14th also fall in this area of your solar chart which marks a fresh start of some kind here too. This would be a good point to draw up a new budget, consider new income streams or to revisit your values and steer your life more closely in line with them.

You will be more pro-active on the work and health front this month too as Mars provides the drive and determination to push forwards. This could be a new health regime, changes to your daily routine or a more dynamic you at work. You may be more direct with colleagues and daily companions and more assertive. Be careful though between 15th – 23rd when you could get carried away by the need to be ‘right’. You may well be right but your survival does not usually depend on others agreeing with you. Allow space for others to hold different views.

The biggest shift this month is the end of Saturn and Jupiter’s stay in your communications zone. Saturn moves out on 17th, completing a three-year stay and Jupiter moves out on 19th, having been there for a year. This completes the first part of a long review, looking at communications, mindset, thought patterns and dealings with siblings, neighbours or traders. You can now start to apply any conclusions you have come to over this three year review. Pluto remains in this area of your solar chart for another four years, so there is more work to do but you have now graduated on part one!

The next area for growth and review as Saturn and Jupiter move into Aquarius, is your 4th House of mother and home, attachment needs, nurture and personal development! Saturn will have much to teach you and Jupiter just wants you to grow. Give them every help.

Sagittarius:    The Sun ball remains in your court this month until 21st, radiating warmth, optimism and freer self-expression. Mercury lends you mental energy too until 20th. But of even more significance is the New Moon and solar eclipse on 14th in your sign! This marks a fresh take on identity, who you now are, how that should be expressed and new outlets for that expression. Venus arrives one day later on 15th to smooth the process along which also handily adds to your charms (until 8th Jan).

Mars is also heating up your romance, children and creativity zone. Heat can take the form of passion or conflict which is something to look out for around 15th – 23rd when your ‘passions’ could harm your pocket…

Your ruling planet Jupiter is on the move this month, after a year’s stay in your finance and security zone, it is heading out on 19th. Saturn makes the same journey on 17th, completing a three-year period of lessons regarding money, possessions, security, values and self-esteem. You can now apply your conclusions.

The new focus for Saturn and Jupiter is your 3rd House of communications, learning, dealings with siblings and neighbours, short journeys, physical movement and trading. Saturn will be carrying out a review and might consider a course of study. While buoyant Jupiter will be looking to broaden your mind. This should be a mentally-stimulating adventure!

Capricorn:    You can find pleasure through interactions with friends, groups and community (and campaigns go well too) until 15th when Venus starts to smooth things along in your 12th House. This covers compassion for the pain and suffering of others, dealings with institutions (prisons, hospitals and psychiatric units) your self-talk and inner-workings and creativity behind the scenes. These areas hold even more importance this month as the New Moon and solar eclipse on 14th fall in this same area of your solar chart, marking an important new cycle. Healing and therapy could be helpful here. Consider them.

Mars is once again making headway in your mother and home zone but progress here may challenge you personally in some way. Or a mother-figure or your role as maternal figure may cause you to look more closely at yourself and your dynamics. Be open to change!

You will have learnt many things about yourself over the past three years as your ruling planet Saturn has moved through your sign. The last year has also seen Jupiter urging you to grow and expand too. Hopefully you have made the most of these opportunities as both planets leave your sign this month! Saturn moves out on 17th leaving you to apply your conclusions and Jupiter leaves on 19th.

Your new area for review and growth is your 2nd House which rules money, possessions, security, values and self-esteem. Prepare yourself for an interesting ride!

Aquarius:    Venus is smoothing your path in your interactions with father or authority figures, career and social status until 15th. If you need favours from people in influential positions, be sure to ask. They are feeling well-inclined towards you and have your back.

The second half of the month has a completely different focus though as Venus glides into your friends, groups and community zone on 15th, one day after the New Moon and solar eclipse here on 14th. This marks a significant new cycle. Is there a group or campaign you would like to join or start?

Your mental energy should be high this month as Mars forges ahead in your thought and communication zone. You may be more forthright than usual with others too, especially siblings and neighbours. If there is a subject that you would like to study, you have the mental energy to pursue it, although new ideas may run up against your internal blocks mid-month and just after.

So much has been happening on a psychological level over the past few years, as three heavy-weight planets (Pluto, Saturn and more recently, Jupiter) have been occupying the unconscious part of your solar chart, the 12th House. This includes the pain and suffering of others, marginalised people on the edge of society, institutions (including prisons, hospitals and psychiatric units), the collective unconscious, healing, spirituality and creativity behind the scenes.

This opportunity for healing is continuing for another four years but part one of this process completes this month as Saturn and then Jupiter move out of your 12th House on 17th and 19th. You can now start to apply any conclusions you have come to over these past three years, as your first period of learning is now complete.

The big question is of course, where are these two significant planets heading next? And the answer is into Aquarius, your sign! This opens up a new period of growth and learning for you, looking at identity, who you truly are, how that can be expressed and outlets for that expression. On a collective level, Saturn and Jupiter moving together into Aquarius marks a new 200 year cycle and you, dear Aquarian are tuned in and will have a role in what that will mean for us all! The long-awaited age of Aquarius has not only dawned, it is here! And so are you!

Pisces:    Now that your ruling planet Neptune is once again moving forwards, you should be able to give your full attention to the demands of the month which are many. The first two weeks pass quite pleasantly with thoughts about travel and philosophy passing the time. And dealings with people from different countries and cultures will be a pleasure too.

The first major event of the month is the New Moon and solar eclipse on 14th in your father, career and social status zone. This marks a significant fresh start regarding your ambitions in some way. What would you like that to be? Venus arrives here too from 15th which inclines people in positions of authority to look on you favourably. So if you have favours to ask, go ahead.

Mars forges ahead in your finance zone all month, making you more pro-active and keen to generate new streams of income. It squares Pluto however in your friends, groups, community and campaigns zone from 15th – 23rd, when friends or campaigns and your pocket could clash…

Part one of lessons in your 11th House of friends, groups, community, campaigns and humanitarian ideals; completes this month as Saturn and then Jupiter leave this area of your solar chart on 17th and 19th. Having provided lessons and growth over the past three years, you can now start to apply what you have learnt. Pluto is staying for another four years though and there is more transformation for you to help along.

As Saturn and Jupiter close this door, they open another as they move into Aquarius which rules your 12th House of healing, compassion, spirituality, charities, your inner-workings, the collective unconscious, your online life and creativity behind the scenes. These are natural areas of resonance for Pisceans and there will be much to learn about yourself, your unconscious and the subtle world we are all energetically a part of. Be open to self-discovery!

To find out what this means for you as an individual, get in touch and we can explore your birth chart together by phone – nuguma@nuguma.com or 07929 261231 (++ 44 7929 261231 if calling from outside UK).

Aries:    Your mind may be weighed down at the start of the month as Mercury runs up against Saturn from 1st – 6th. Passions may be raised too when Venus opposes your ruling planet Mars on 8th – 9th. You will be aware of the attractiveness of others as Venus smooths your relationships and partnerships until 21st. But parents or authority figures may disapprove of your choices or you may be aware that partners and your ambitions may not be compatible… Communications in partnerships should improve though from 3rd, when Mercury goes direct.

Your ruling planet Mars goes direct too on 14th which will come as a relief after treading water for the past two months getting nowhere fast! Hopefully you will have used this time to reassess your approach and can now harness your dynamism in an impactful way!

Joint funds, intimacy and sharing are other active areas this month. ‘The money of others’ (or lack of it may effect your finances too though it is hard to say whether that will be for better or worse. A new cycle begins here with New Moon on 15th.

Travel or exploring different realms of knowledge is well-starred from 21st and can even help to heal internal wounds. Neptune goes direct too on 29th which helps your conscious to be a better friend. Charitable acts or creativity behind the scenes can start to move forwards too. Do your bit financially or compassionately or both!

Taurus:    Communications with colleagues and daily companions start to improve from 3rd when Mercury goes direct and Venus makes work, daily rituals and tending yourself on a physical level, a pleasure until 21st. Relations with colleagues and daily companions go well too (including pets). The only thing in the way of your daily pleasures are ethical, legal, study or travel demands or restrictions which have been an ongoing issue for most of the year…

Your unconscious starts being more helpful from 14th when Mars goes direct. You will also be able to move forward with revised ways of putting your compassion into action. Creativity behind the scenes can also start moving again. Spiritual practices are well-starred too.

Relationships and partnerships are a strong focus all month. New Moon on 15th also falls here, marking a fresh start in some way. From 21st Venus glides into your opposite sign, highlighting the attractions of others and bringing harmony and pleasure. And when your ruling planet Venus opposes Uranus in your sign on 26th – 27th, you could have a romantic or creative awakening. This could be one of the most exciting points of the year!

Neptune goes direct on 29th in your friends, groups and community zone. Any uncertainty around whether to ‘friendzone’ someone or not starts to become clearer and ideals around friends, groups, community or campaigns can move forward once again.

Gemini:    Your ruling planet Mercury goes direct on 3rd in your romance, children and creativity zone which helps communications along and any recent misunderstandings can be sorted out Venus is helping to smooth things along here too until 21st but runs up against the three heavy-weight planets in Capricorn from 14th – 19th. The weighty issues of joint funds (including taxes, debts and inheritances) intimacy and sharing can overshadow Venus’s rosy glow…

Mars goes direct on 14th in your friends, groups and community zone. You can now take action, having reviewed one or more of these issues over the past two months. New Moon on 15th marks a fresh start for you in work, health or service to others. This is a good point to start a new health regime, job or volunteer work. Making adjustments to your daily routine can have a big impact on your well-being too. Explore this.

There may be conflict between your individual needs and partnership needs around 29th, in the lead up to Full Moon in your sign on the morning of 30th. There is a partial lunar eclipse too which may make it more difficult to fathom your feelings and what to do about them.

The last planet to change direction this month is Neptune which goes direct on 29th. This completes a review of your ideals around your career or social status, fatherhood or dealings with authority-figures. With clearer ideals hopefully now in place, you can go ahead and apply them.

Cancer:    Communications at home or with mother-figures should start to improve fom 3rd when Mercury goes direct. There may be differences of opinion with partners though until 6th. Venus is trying to smooth things along at home, especially plans for your home (and perhaps your personal development which may run into resistance from partners around 14th – 19th.

Romance or creativity could very likely take your mind off this. There could be question marks too around whether you have ‘friend-zoned’ someone too hastily. A new or unusual friend or group could get your creative juices flowing. Children could be stimulating and good fun too. And New Moon on 15th marks a fresh start in one or more of these matters.

Mars is the second planet to go direct this month. From 14th you can start to move forwards with your ambitions (or social status) once again. Mars has been retrograde since early-September which has been an opportunity to reflect on how you have been pursuing your goals. Now that movement is possible again, you will hopefully have a better approach to try.

Neptune goes direct on 29th in your 9th House of travel, deep studies, beliefs, ethics and principles. This completes a review of your ideals. And now you can set them in motion!

Leo:    Your thought processes have been under review since mid-October but on 3rd that review is complete and you can move forward with more self-awareness and hopefully a better mindset that will help communications too. Venus helps you to relate with charm until 21st, although the demands of work, health or service to others competes for your attention.

Mars goes direct in your travel, ethics and legal zone on 14th. This completes a nine-week review of how you have been pursuing your studies, legal matters or long-distance plans. And now you can move forward with a hopefully more effective strategy.

Mother and home are a strong focus this month. New Moon on 15th marks a new beginning around home, dealings with mother-figures, self-nurture or personal development. Venus glides into this same area of your solar chart from 21st which helps to smooth all of the above. You may also find yourself wanting to beautify your home or share its pleasures with others. There could also be a surprise here or a new creative idea around 26th – 27th.

Neptune goes direct on 29th in your joint funds, intimacy and shared zone, completing a five-month review. You may benefit from ‘the money of others’ or find dreamy intimacy or a spiritual union or make a donation to a cause you believe in. Applying your ideals is once again possible and is also important.

Virgo:    Your ruling planet Mercury goes direct on 3rd, helping you to think more clearly and communicate better about finances, values and security. Venus in the same area of your solar chart until 21st, usually makes finances look rosier but the demands of romance, children or creativity could challenge that. Jupiter and Pluto could present extremes or intensity of some kind here too.

Mars goes direct on 14th in your 8th House of joint funds, taxes, debts and inheritances, intimacy and sharing. This completes a two-month review of how you have been dealing with these areas. Hopefully now clearer, you can apply your conclusions.

New Moon on 15th falls in your 3rd House of communications. Is there a course you would like to study or teach or a new form of exercise that you would like to try?

Relationships and partnerships have been under review since late-June but on 29th Neptune goes direct and you can start to make your partnership ideals, a reality.

Libra:    Your ruling planet Venus is gracing your sign until 21st, making you darling of the zodiac for most of the month! Others will be well-aware of your charms, although the demands of mother and home may feel burdensome and get in the way of enjoying your popularity mid-month. Mercury goes direct in Libra too on 3rd which helps to dissolve any recent misunderstandings.

Mars goes direct in your opposite sign on 14th which helps you to make progress in relationships and partnerships. Partners may feel less blocked too.

Finances are also a focus this month. You will be thinking about them from 10th onwards and things may look rosier from 21st. The Sun lights up your 3rd House from 21st. This helps you to think more clearly and communicate better which can help to heal partnerships.

Neptune goes direct on 29th which enables you to take steps in moving towards your ideals, regarding work, health and service to others. Decide what you would like to achieve here, as the path is open once again.

Scorpio:    The Sun ball remains in your court this month until 21st, radiating warmth, optimism and freer self-expression. Having hopefully got to the root of recent unhelpful thought processes, Mercury goes direct on 3rd and moves back into your sign on 10th. This is a bit like finding your voice once again. Use it well. Meanwhile Venus is trying to fix any irregularities between your conscious and unconscious mind. Help it along.

Mars goes direct too on 14th in your work, health and service to others zone. This should release some of the energy that has been caught up in reviewing work and health matters and your overall well-being. With this 9-week review now complete, you can start to put your conclusions into action. This applies to your daily routine and rituals, work, health and service to others. It will be a relief to be able to move forward once again!

New Moon in your sign on 15th marks the beginning of your personal New Year. Make resolutions that will help to meet your emotional needs in the month and year ahead! First of all you will need to work out just what your emotional needs are and then what you can do to fulfil them. Venus moves into your sign on 21st which heightens your charms and makes you more likely to attract the kind of attention you are looking for. Partners or relationships may surprise you in an enlivening way around 26th – 27th.

Neptune goes direct on 29th in your romance, children and creativity zone. This completes a five-month review of looking at past ideals which may no longer be helpful and allows you to move forward with a clearer ideal that can be achieved. Trust your instincts and feel your way forward.

Sagittarius:    Energy levels may have been low recently but that is about to change. The month before our birthday we are often at low ebb as the Sun has been away from us for the longest time. The good news is the Sun is bringing fresh energy and a sense of renewal to you from 20th!

Your birthday whether this month or next is your personal new year and a more meaningful time to make resolutions for the year ahead than January 1st. Many Happy Solar Returns! It is also the perfect time to explore your planets for the year ahead with a good astrologer.

Your ruling planet Jupiter catches up with Pluto this month which can result in extremes. We certainly have this collectively but on a Sun-sign level, Sagittarians will experience this in their finance zone. This can have an impact on your income, money, possessions, values or self-esteem. Non-material sources of security can be a helpful area to explore, including creativity and belief systems. New Moon on 15th also favours spiritual practices and active compassion.

Mercury goes direct on 3rd which helps to resolve any misunderstandings with friends, groups and your community. And Mars goes direct on 14th which marks the end of a review and allows you to move ahead with matters connected to romance, children and creativity.

Venus spends the first three weeks of the month smoothing relations with friends, groups and community (although money could be a bone of contention around 14th – 19th).

Neptune goes direct in your mother and home zone on 29th. Having reviewed your ideals over the past five months, can you now make them a reality?

Capricorn:    Communications improve with father or authority figures from 3rd but still remain serious until 6th. And you have their goodwill on your side too until 21st but all of this may require you to examine yourself. Are you ready for an improvement in social status? Perhaps the obstacle in your way is yourself… Make sure you do not get in your own way, especially around 14th – 19th.

Mars goes direct too on 14th which should help to get things moving on the home front. Any projects which have been on hold are once again viable and any decisions you have made around how to deal with mother-figures (or as a mother-figure) can now start to be put in place. The same applies to self-nurture and personal development.

Friends, groups and community are a blessing this month, especially from 21st. Enjoy the pleasures they bring. New Moon on 15th also falls in this area of your solar chart and marks a new cycle in some way. And if there is a campaign you are interested in, this could be both interesting and socially enjoyable.

Neptune goes direct on 29th also helping to sort out communications in so far as you will be clearer and less of a conundrum to the people around you. Your creative flow will also be strong. Writing, dance, art and music can be outlets for the imagery that has been building up in your mind. Share your creative vision!

Aquarius:    Travel, studies and legal matters become easier after Mercury goes direct on 3rd and easier still from 7th. Venus helps you to enjoy the company of people from different countries, cultures and belief systems. This might shake up some of your unconscious assumptions and internal settings though around 14th – 19th which may be no bad thing! Jupiter gets ever closer to Pluto and Saturn and meets Pluto mid-month. These two planets are pushing for transformation to take place here and this meeting might help.

Mars goes direct on 14th in your communications zone. This releases more mental energy as Mars has-been reviewing how you use your mental and physical energy. Time to move around more physically! You may be more assertive in your dealings with siblings or neighbours too.

From 21st Venus is smoothing your path in your interactions with father or authority figures, career and social status. If you need favours from people in influential positions, be sure to ask. New Moon on 15th also falls in this area of your solar chart, marking a fresh start careerwise or in your social status or with authority -figures.

Neptune goes direct on 29th in your finance zone, after being retrograde since late-June. This has been a period of review, looking at where your true values lie. Where you earn, invest, spend and donate your money should fall in line with these values. We are here for the benefit of others, not just ourselves and once Neptune is direct, you can do something about that.

Pisces:    Intensity in friendships, groups or community build up this month as Jupiter joins forces with Pluto, both looking for growth and transformation. Mercury goes direct too on 3rd which helps communications around joint funds, intimacy and sharing. Venus is helping things along here too but bumps into the three big planets in your friendship zone from 14th – 19th. An area of ‘friendzoning’ might need looking at.

Financial movement becomes possible again once Mars goes direct on 14th. You have had a two-month review looking at your values and ways of generating an income or a sense of security. Mars going direct now releases the energy and determination to push ahead with your conclusions.

New Moon on 15th marks a fresh start in your 9th House of travel, studies and ethics. If physical travel is not possible, exploring the higher mind is, whether through studies, interacting with people from different cultures or spiritual practices.

Your ruling planet Neptune has been going retrograde in your sign since late-June. This may have been a bit like looking for yourself… And the good news is Neptune goes direct on 29th, enabling you to move forward with the ideals that are still intact and perhaps with a better idea of how to make them a reality. You can now pursue your dream.

See you there!

Aries:    Your ruling planet Mars has another challenging month running up against authority figures which can be frustrating! From 4th at least they are moving forwards (which is an improvement on last month) but Mars is still retrograde, hopefully looking at where he has been going wrong. Reflecting is not a favourite activity for Mars but we all have to work on our self-awareness from time to time (in fact fairly often). And now is such a time for the Aries warrior!

Partners may not be too sympathetic either and could oppose your plans, especially around 14th when the Sun is opposite Mars… Misunderstandings may need to be sorted out from 28th when Mercury comes back to iron out what was said, meant or done a few weeks ago. Venus helpfully glides in to smooth things over from 28th though which should help to resolve matters. New Moon on 16th also marks a fresh cycle in relationships and partnerships in some way.

Venus is working quite hard this month and tries to make amends with any authority figures you may have been clashing with recently or within any hierarchies you may have disrupted. Be glad of peacemakers. And borrow a leaf from their book for future use!

Mercury goes retrograde in your joint funds, intimacy and sharing zone on 14th. Full Moon on 31st could also bring up a stark difference between you and your partner’s views on security, how money should be spent or on issues around intimacy… At least things are finally out in the open!

Taurus:    Travel, study or cultural prospects should start to improve from 4th when Pluto goes direct or your outlook at least feels more optimistic. This completes a six-month deep review, looking at your beliefs and your place in the world. There are still unconscious processes operating though. What could they be? Answering this question may require you to delve deep! There could be a conflict too between compassionate commitments and the opportunity to travel.

Your ruling planet Venus is well-placed this month, offering pleasure through romance, children and creativity. Sports could be fun too which fits in with the New Moon on 16th which falls in your work, health and service to others zone. This is the perfect time to start a new regime! Give your work and daily routine a good look too. Your beliefs will have some impact on this. Something has to change.

Mercury, planet of thought and communications goes retrograde from 14th in your relationships and partnerships zone. It also opposes Uranus in your sign on 7th and on 20th which could unearth unexpected information or surprising communications that challenge your usual way of being and thinking about relationships. There may be conflict between your usual way of being and partnership needs too around 30th, in the lead up to Full Moon in your sign in the afternoon of 31st. This Full Moon will be challenging you to dare to make a change. Gather your courage and take that step!

Gemini:    Your chances of benefitting from ‘the money of others’ heightens from 4th when Pluto goes direct. The three planets that have been weighing down your 8th House of joint funds, intimacy and sharing for a long time, are finally all moving forwards once again and by the end of the year, two of them will have completed their stay in this area of your solar chart and will have moved on. (The 8th House covers the transformational processes of life: birth, sex and death and also joint funds including taxes, debts, inheritances and sharing in general).

Your ruling planet Mercury goes retrograde on 14th in your work, health and service to others zone. This is an opportunity to review communications with colleagues and to review your regime and daily routine. From 28th Mercury moves even further back to review matters connected to romance, children or creativity. So give this your attention too.

Venus spends most of the month gliding through your mother and home zone. And you may find yourself wanting to beautify your home and share its pleasures with others through entertaining.

Mercury opposes Uranus on 7th and 20th, once going forwards and then going backwards. This can bring flashes of insight into how your work, health and daily routine impact your mental health and vice versa. Full Moon in the afternoon of 31st also falls on Uranus which brings this axis even more strongly to your attention. Listen to what it has to tell you.

Cancer:    Your ambitions and will to push forward with your career or social status runs up against such a strong challenge from partners or partnerships that you have to stop in your tracks to carry out a review of how you have been trying to achieve your goals. Dealings with father or authority figures could also be a part of this and perhaps your own authority may be called in to question too.

Mars the planet of drive, assertiveness, applying your will, the assertive side of sexuality, use of physical energy and dealings with men is retrograde all month. You cannot proceed as planned. But Pluto goes direct on 4th which means that the three major planets in your partnerships zone are at least all now moving forwards. So some movement is possible, albeit not what you planned.

Venus spends most of the month in your 3rd House which helps you to communicate well and manage any tricky situations. Short journeys could be pleasurable as could interations with siblings and neighbours. Physical exercise can be a pleasure too. Walking and talking can also be a helpful way of discussing difficult subjects with partners around 18th – 24th.

New Moon on 16th falls in your 4th House of mother and home. Make plans that will help you to meet your emotional, self-nurture and personal development needs in the future. We also spring into the world from the home, so getting your base right will help your worldly ambitions. Pluto is challenging this New Moon, so deep transformation is being called for. Go with it!

Leo:    Finances should look a bit rosier this month as Venus glides through your 2nd House from 2nd – 28th. Although ‘the money of others’ may cloud the picture around 17th -18th as Venus runs up against Neptune but Jupiter then immediately lifts your income prospects, as do Pluto and Saturn until 24th.

You will be pleased to know that Pluto goes diect on 4th in your work, health and service to others zone which means that all three heavy-weight planets that have been sitting there all year (and longer) are now moving forwards (and two will have moved out of this area of your solar chart before the end of the year). Mars remains challenged all month, trying to get things done on the travel, education, ethics, publishing and legal front. But being retrograde and square three stronger planets, it is difficult to make headway.

Mercury goes retrograde in your mother and home zone on 14th to review communications and movement regarding home and mother-figures. This may include your recent role if you are a mother-figure yourself. From , 28th Mercury moves even further back to examine to what extent your thoughts and mindset have been behind any misunderstandings.

The second Full Moon of the month on 31st falls in your father, career and social status zone. This shows up any tension between parents and whether the demands of mother and home impede your ambitions. We spring into the world from the home and if home is not quite right, giving our best shot in the world can be compromised. What needs to change?

Virgo:    Matters around romance, children and creativity should start to improve after Pluto goes direct on 4th. This has been a weighty area for some time now but finally the three planets weighing things down will all be moving forwards, so progress is within sight.

Mars spends the entire month squaring these same three planets. This is coming from your 8th House of joint funds, intimacy and sharing. Plans or passionate intentions may have to wait for now, until Mars gets clear of ‘the big three (Jupiter, Saturn and Pluto) blocking the way.

Your ruling planet Mercury goes retrograde on 14th making communications more difficult, perhaps especially so with neighbours or siblings. This is a time to review how you have been communicating and thinking in general. Your recent patterns of physical movement could be an area to look at too. From 28th Mercury takes a further step back to look at finances, values and security which may in some way be causing the communication issues.

The best thing this month though is Venus gliding through your sign from 2nd to 28th. This makes you darling of the zodiac and we cannot help noticing your lovely qualities and attractiveness. Enjoy the adoration!

Libra:    An angry partner or discordant relationship could put paid to any peace at home this month, just as things were starting to move forwards… You are not the one stirring things up but you may have quite a job trying to calm them down. Your ruling planet Venus is working overtime trying to bring calm and reason to the situation and most importantly of all: dialogue.

Mercury planet of communication goes retrograde on 14th too which may not be the most helpful of things, especially when finances are being discussed. It also moves back into your sign from 28th and you may find yourself questioning your role and communication patterns and to what extent they may have played a part in the present situation… Do not be afraid to take an honest look.

The Sun ball remains in your court until 22nd, radiating warmth, optimism and freer self-expression. And New Moon on 16th is in your sign, marking a new cycle in your domestic or emotional life. Pluto is square this however which adds intensity and the need for deep transformation. This may involve having to let go of something (or someone) in the month or year ahead. Keep in mind that Pluto usually just removes dead wood.

Scorpio:    Your ruling planet Pluto goes direct on 4th, helping your resolve to keep your mind and communications positive. Your energy levels may have been low recently but that is about to change. The month before your birthday you are often at low ebb as the Sun has been away from you for the longest time. The good news is the Sun is bringing fresh energy and a sense of renewal to you from 22nd!

Your birthday whether this month or next is your personal new year and a more meaningful time to make resolutions for the year ahead than January 1st. Many Happy Solar Returns! It is also the perfect time to explore your planets for the year ahead with a good astrologer.

Mercury lends you mental energy too until 14th.  It then goes retrograde in your sign, retracing your communications over the past few weeks and your mindset. The Sun opposes Mars on 14th too, urging you to look at how your unconscious impacts your health and how your daily routine, work and diet impact your mental health.

Mars is challenging you all month on the work, health and service to others front. Your thinking (and I mean positive thinking) is central to your well-being. This is always the case but is even more imperative right now!

From 28th Mercury goes even further back to search your unconscious for the answers to what has been driving your thoughts. It can be helpful to have the support of a counseller or therapist on this journey. Friends, groups, organisations and community provide gentle relief from 2nd – 28th. There is comfort here. You just have to find it.

Sagittarius:    Your ruling planet Jupiter has been keeping company with heavy-weights Saturn and Pluto since last December. All three planets have been retrograde recently but the slowest moving of them all Pluto goes direct on 4th, so at last all three are moving forwards once again. And you will be glad to know this is in your money, possessions, security and values zone. Progress at last! The only fly in the ointment now is Mars which is making demands in the romance, children and creativity area of your chart…

Meanwhile, Mercury goes retrograde on 14th behind the scenes. To what degree have knee-jerk reactions or your unconscious been getting in the way of achieving an understanding with others? And have you been self-sabotaging with negative self-talk? If so, it is time to iron that out! From 28th Mercury moves even further back into your friends, groups and community zone. Things need thinking through here too.

From 2nd Venus is smoothing your path in your interactions with father or authority figures, career and social status. If you need favours from people in influential positions, be sure to ask. Your ambitions are being helped along, be that professional or personal (although matters close to home may cloud the vision around 17th – 18th). Your improved standing in the world can help you to feel more secure in the world, be that financially or emotionally.

Mercury opposes Uranus on 7th and 20th raising your awareness of the impact of your work, diet and daily routine on your mental health and vice versa. Full Moon on the afternoon of 31st also lands on this axis, bringing the same message home but more emotionally. Respond to that message!

Capricorn:    You will be pleased to know that Pluto, the last of the three heavy-weight planets that have been moving backwards in your sign, goes direct on 4th and once again you can make headway. You have completed a five-month review and will hopefully now know how you need to move forward.

Your resolve

is important but there are obstacles in the form of Mars which is retrograde all month, challenging your plans. This is coming from your 4th House of mother and home. This can be to do with projects related to home, dealings with mother-figures (or your own dealings as a mother-figure if you are one). Close family members may not support the changes you need to make but make them you must, for your own growth.

Self-nurture comes into this too, as does personal development. Mars retrograde means for you have to reassess your earlier approach in one or more of these areas. You have until mid-November to take a good look and then you should be ready to make progress in a more appropriate way.

Mercury goes retrograde from 14th in your friends, groups community, organisations and campaigns zone. There are things to rethink here and from 28th Mercury moves back into your 10th House to rethink some area of your worldly ambitions or dealings with authority figures too. New Moon on 16th challenges you to seek transformation too. It falls in your 10th House of father, career and social status, calling for a fresh start here in some way and the need for it to be a radical one. Now what could that be?

Aquarius:    Your unconscious starts to be more helpful from 4th when Pluto goes direct which means all three planets which have been weighing down this area of your chart are at last all moving forwards. (And by the end of the year, two will have moved on completely). Pluto going direct should help with any self-sabotage you may have fallen into and will help you to keep self-talk positive. Mars may be troublesome though, wanting to assert itself when you are communicating. You may have a shorter fuse than usual this month but try to keep a civil tongue…

Mercury opposes your ruling planet Uranus on 7th and once again on 20th (as Mercury goes retrograde on 14th). This is in your father, career and social status zone. Communications may need reviewing and when Mercury retreats even further from 28th, you may have to examine your beliefs and to what extent they have contributed to the present situation.

Venus spends most of the month in your 8th House of joint funds, intimacy and sharing. This helps to bring harmony and pleasure and you may benefit from ‘the money of others’. Sharing, including yourself physically and emotionally is well-starred too.

Full Moon on 31st lands on your ruling planet Uranus showing up any conflicts between parents, emotional needs and the demands of the world and comfort versus ambitions. What changes need to be made at home? Or do you need a change OF home? We spring into the world from the home. Getting home right has an impact on your trajectory into the world. Where do you need to position yourself?

Pisces:    Pluto going direct on 4th means forward movement is once again possible regarding friends, groups, community and humanitarian ideals. And you hopefully now understand what direction you need to go in. This may not fit with your financial desires though… Mars is trying to push ahead to achieve a better income or more inner security but is mostly banging its head against a brick wall this month.

Mercury goes retrograde on 14th in your travel, ethics and legal zone, giving you opportunity to review your recent communications. And from 28th Mercury moves even further back to review joint funds and transformational life processes. Could they be connected to the earlier issues? Mercury also opposes Uranus on 7th and 20th, bringing insights into how your day to day communications and higher beliefs are linked. Around Full Moon on 30th – 31st this will all be raised again but more emotionally.

On a more enjoyable note, Venus glides through your opposite sign from 2nd – 28th, highlighting the attractiveness of others and smoothing your path in relationships and partnerships (including business). There may be a short hiccough when your ruling planet Neptune adds confusion around 17th – 18th. This quickly passes though and togetherness beckons.

See you there!

Aries:    Career prospects should look a bit brighter this month as Jupiter goes direct on 13th and Saturn on 29th in your social status zone. Pluto is still holding back, looking for deeper transformation but some movement should at least be possible.

Your ruling planet Mars is less happy though as Saturn and to some extent, Pluto are blocking it all month. The powers that be seem not to agree with your plans this month. Mars goes retrograde too on 9th to review your recent efforts and work out how best to proceed once the brakes are off (from mid-November).

Home comforts may run up against the demands of the world early in the month and you may not be able to give as much time as you would like to domestic pleasures. Opportunities for fun (and possibly romance) increase though from 6th when Venus glides into your 5th House of pleasure. This also brings opportunities for enjoyable time with children, being creative, recreation, sports (if that is your thing) and letting your hair down in general.

New Moon on 17th falls in your work, health and service to others zone – the perfect time to start a new regime, new job or volunteering position. Could your daily routine do with a shake-up too? Saturn is on hand offering any self-discipline needed. So why not go for it?

Taurus:    Travel has been on hold for most of us this year but Taureans may have felt the pinch more than most, as three heavy-weight planets have been sitting in your 9th House of exploration, deep study, philosophy, ethics and world view. They have also been moving retrograde for the past few weeks, calling for an internal review of your beliefs and your relationship with the wider world. The good news is two of them go direct this month: Jupiter on 13th and Saturn on 29th. And you can start to apply your conclusions from this review period and move forward once again.

Your ruling planet Venus runs up against these heavy-weight during the first week of the month and frustratingly, Mars does the same all month and itself goes retrograde from 9th. This calls for a review of your inner-workings, your response to those suffering and in need, your online life and your spiritual world.

Your ruling planet Venus brings harmony on the mother and home front from 6th and you may want to beautify your home and invite others to share its pleasures. This is a good time for self-nurture and for personal development too. On 14th – 15th Venus squares Uranus in your sign which challenges you to make internal changes. Make them!

New Moon on 17th falls in your romance, children and creativity zone. Recreational pleasures come into this too. Arrange fun activities for yourself.

Gemini:    Venus glides through your communications zone from 6th, adding sugar to your silver tongue and quick wit. Yes, your charm offensive is high. Others beware! Your ruling planet Mercury is whizzing ahead too and spans three signs this month, stirring up lots of mental stimulation and variety which is just how you like it.

Mars is having a more difficult month though which for Geminis means conflict or frustrations with friends, groups, organisations, community or humanitarian ideals. Admitting defeat temporarily, Mars goes retrograde on 9th to review its recent approach in one or more of these areas.

The main challenge Mars runs into are the three huge planets (Jupiter,Saturn and Pluto) currently residing in your 8th House, calling for growth and transformation in your joint funds, intimacy and sharing zone. All three have been retrograde for months but on 13th Jupiter goes direct and Saturn follows on 29th. And yes, this means the possibility of moving out from a state of feeling stuck.

New Moon on 17th marks a fresh start in your mother and home zone. Are home conditions supporting your personal development? And have you been attending enough to self-nurture? This new cycle is an opportunity to get physical and emotional conditions in the home just right, so you can spring into the world from a healthy base.

Cancer:    Your desire to socialise early in the month, may get scuppered by opposition from partners or partnerships. And your ambitions likewise as Mars tries to square up to the same immovable objects in your partnerships zone all month. There may be a bit of give though when Jupiter goes direct on 13th and Saturn on 29th.

Mars retreats and goes retrograde from 9th to review its recent strategies. You have two months to reflect on how your approach needs to change and to decide on your goals. Then mid-November you will be ready to give your ambitions a push forwards once again.

The Sun is keeping your communications zone warm and active during the first three weeks of September and New Moon on 17th falls here too, marking a fresh start in some way. Do you need to re-establish contact with someone? Or is there a course you would enjoy taking, a new language to learn or a new form of exercise to try? If so, the planetary wind is behind you

Venus spends most of the month (from 6th) in your 2nd House, making finances look rosier and adding to your sense of security. Although there may be a surprise mid-month when friends or the call of community or humanitarian ideals question your values. Be open to looking at these from a fresh viewpoint.

Leo:    Venus is in your sign from 6th making you darling of the zodiac for the rest of the month. Your charms will be at their highest and you will effortlessly attract others to you (which might include a surprise or two mid-month!)

Venus is good for creative flow too and can have an impact on the long-term changes taking place in your ambitions, social standing or dealings with father-figures (or on your own dealings if you are a father-figure yourself).

There should be some long-awaited movement on the work and health front this month as Jupiter, planet of growth, expansion and opportunity goes direct on 13th. This completes a three-month review where you have been looking at what expansion might look like. Saturn goes direct too (on 29th) providing the self-discipline and grit to put in the hard work needed to make your plans a reality.

Mars is having a difficult time this month which for Leos means frustrations over travel, education, ethics, legal matters, dealings with other cultures and your world-view. You will be keeping an eye on your finances this month too and New Moon on 17th is a perfect point to carry out an audit and put a new budget in place. Make sure it reflects your true priorities.

Virgo:    The Sun ball remains in your court this month until 22nd, radiating warmth, optimism and freer self-expression. Your ruling planet Mercury lends you mental energy too until 5th, then it moves on to look at your finances. It encounters some opposition here though around 17th, 21st and 23rd from the three heavy-weight planets (Jupiter, Saturn and Pluto) still occupying your romance, children and creativity zone.

These three are also causing problems for Mars all month which is trying to make headway in your joint funds, intimacy and sharing zone. Admitting temporary defeat, Mars goes retrograde on 9th to review its recent attempts to push ahead but returns in two months time to continue the progress already made.

Venus planet of love, harmony and relating glides through your inner-workings from 6th. This highlights your compassion for others, adds grace to your spirituality and makes your online life pleasurable. There may be surprises though mid-month when Uranus may startle you with a new awakening.

New Moon in your sign on 17th marks the beginning of your personal New Year. Make resolutions that will support your emotional needs in the month and year ahead!

Libra:    Energy levels may have been low recently but that is about to change. The month before our birthday we are often at low ebb as the Sun has been away from us for the longest time. The good news is the Sun is bringing fresh energy and a sense of renewal to you from 22nd!

Your birthday whether this month or next is your personal new year and a more meaningful time to make resolutions for the year ahead than January 1st. Many Happy Solar Returns! It is also the perfect time to explore your planets for the year ahead with a good astrologer.

Things should start to improve on the mother and home front this month as Jupiter goes direct on 13th and Saturn likewise on 29th. Pluto is going to be hanging around looking for another four years though, so long-term there will be more transformation ahead.

Your worldly ambitions may run up against unhelpful factors at home early in the month when your ruling planet Venus opposes Saturn. Partners or partnerships may run up against obstacles this month and from 9th when Mars goes retrograde, you will need to review how you have been interacting in your relationships. And assertiveness may be something to think about…

From 6th your ruling planet Venus is bringing pleasure in the form of friends, groups, community and humanitarian ideals. There could even be a sudden attraction from this direction mid-month. Be ready for surprises!

Scorpio:    The huge process taking place in your 3rd House of thinking, communications and dealings with neighbours and siblings starts to make some progress this month, partially completing a long review which has been taking place since late-spring. Jupiter, planet of growth, expansion and opportunity goes direct on 13th and Saturn likewise on 29th. This means you can start to apply any conclusions you have come to over the past three or so months. Your ruling planet Pluto has further to go though and will be demanding even more transformation over the next four years.

Mars is struggling this month however, as it squares up to these three heavy-weights and then retreats going retrograde itself from 9th. This initiates another review, this time connected to your work, health, daily routine and service to others. What adjustments need making here? You cannot make them while Mars in retrograde but once it goes direct in mid-November you should hopefully know how to move ahead.

From 6th Venus is smoothing the path in your father, career and social status zone. If you need support from authority figures, just ask, they are looking on you positively. Equally if you are an authority figure yourself (including being a parent) use your influence in the best way possible. Partners may have a surprising impact mid-month too.

New Moon on 17th falls in your 11th House, marking a fresh start with friends, groups, community and humanitarian ideals. What would you like this fresh start to be?

Sagittarius:    Your ruling planet Jupiter goes direct this month (on 13th) which may come as a relief in your financial life where the three heavy-weight planets Jupiter, Saturn and Pluto have been moving backwards for three months.

Saturn goes direct too on 29th adding self-discipline and willingness to work hard, elements which are also needed to succeed.

Mars moving through your 5th House of romance, children and creativity is having a difficult month though and it retreats on 9th and takes you back to review how you have been trying to assert yourself and to look at what changes you need to make to your approach. You have two months to ponder all of this and mid-November you can press forwards once again.

From 6th Venus is offering pleasure through travel and relations with people from different cultures or belief systems. You may enjoy learning a new language or some other course of study too. Keep an eye open for what appeals.

Capricorn:    You may have been feeling stuck for the past few months with three heavy-weight planets moving retrograde in your sign.

Relationships and partnerships may have to take second place during the first week of the month. And matters to do with mother, home, roots and foundations may be a source of frustration.

Mother-figures could be a pain and if you happen to be a mother yourself, the difficulties of that role may become even more apparent than usual. Mars goes retrograde here from 9th, giving you two months to review how you have been dealing with any or all of these matters.

You may benefit from ‘the money of others’ this month as Venus glides through your joint funds, intimacy and sharing zone from 6th. This is good for all three and there may be some surprises mid-month when Uranus calls for a fresh approach.

Aquarius:    Venus glides into your relationships and partnerships zone on 6th and stays there harmoniously for the rest of the month, smoothing things along and making you more aware of the attractiveness of others.

Communications, dealings with neighbours and siblings or short journeys may be frustrating as Mars runs up against the big-boy planets presently resident in your unconscious.

Mars is struggling to make headway with your finances but keeps running into what is happening on the collective front. (The three heavy-weight planets in your friends, groups, organisations, community and humanitarian ideals zone).

Venus gets involved from the mother and home front towards the end of the month which makes you even more determined to push ahead. This should be an interesting month!

Career or matters connected to father-figures continue to be weighty. Home though can be a source of pleasure once Venus glides in from 7th. You may want to beautify your home or enjoy sharing its pleasures with others through entertaining.

Finances remain unpredictable, even more so from 15th when Uranus goes retrograde. Any changes you have made over the past two years may need looking at again. Your values may need reassessing too.

You will be thinking about romance, children and creativity from 5th to 20th when Mercury skips into your 5th House, joining the Sun which is warming things up. And New Moon on 19th marks a fresh cycle in these same areas of life. What would you like this fresh start to be?

Taurus:    Your urge to be actively compassionate to others (and perhaps yourself), spiritual and creative runs up against the deep processes happening in your travel, study and world view zone for most of the month.

This is uncomfortable as both processes need to happen. This could be a clash between your spiritual instincts and religious dogma, a longing to escape but restrictions on travel, a tricky legal situation, a troublesome online dilemma, intense interactions with people who hold different beliefs to you or bumping into conflicts between generally-held views and the collective unconscious in some way.

Your ruling planet Venus is smoothing communications from 7th but it too runs into Jupiter and Pluto (two of the four planets involved above) from 24th.

But speaking truth to power can be tricky.

Uranus goes retrograde n your sign on 15th which takes you back to review how true you have been to yourself during the opportunities for change in the past two years.

Gemini:    Your intention to get active with friends or join group movements keeps getting scuppered this month by demands (from others) to share your resources or yourself intimately. Your individual income or sense of security gets caught up in this too from 24th onwards when Venus opposes Jupiter and Pluto. How far should you go in pleasing others? And what power dynamics are at play? Taxes, loans, debts and to inheritances can come into this too.

Venus spends the first seven days of the month in your sign, extending your recent stretch of dazzling charm (others beware!). Venus then glides into your 2nd House of money, income, possessions, security and values which all look rosier until other start making demands from 24th.

On 15th Uranus goes retrograde behind the scenes which may require you to back-pedal and review whether your more recent approach to dealing with yourself needs any adjustments.

(You have until mid-January next year to mull this over).

Your ruling planet Mercury is dashing swiftly through the signs this month and coincides with New Moon on 19th in your communications zone. Yes, your new ideas can be embarked upon. Set them in motion!

Cancer:    Your ambitions will be sharpened by Mars rocketing through your 10th House of father, career and social status all month but unfortunately it keeps running up against partnerships too… Is your partner fully behind you? It could be helpful to check. And if they are not, why is that so? It may feel very frustrating to have to deal with this right now as you are so keen to push ahead in the world but the enormous processes taking place in relationships and partnerships cannot be ignored.

You will be thinking a lot about finances this month too and up to 22nd the Sun could help you to come up with creative money-making ideas. And New Moon on 19th could be a great time to make an audit and start a new budget.

Uranus goes retrograde on 15th in your friends, groups and community zone. This calls for a review of how well your friends and associates meet your need for refreshment, renewal and excitement. And with all of this partnership intensity this year (and last), have you been neglecting the important nourishment of friends. And do your friends reflect the new you?

Venus glides into your sign too on 7th, making you darling of the zodiac. Strangely partners may not be fully pleased about this, during the last week of the month. Use that charm to reassure them. We all need to feel special from time to time.

Leo:    Mars is revving away in your 9th House of travel, study, law and ethics all month, ready to forge ahead but it runs into three heavy-weight planets in your work, health and daily routine zone which is frustrating. Achieving a sense of well-being will be one of the challenges, perhaps made more difficult with an agitated world-wide.

Venus gliding through your unconscious zone from 7th would usually help but it too opposes Jupiter and Pluto from 24th. Pleasing others in your daily life and power patterns in relationships could be an issue. How your health and mental health impact each other is another area to explore.

Libra:    Relationships and partnerships are full of energy this month as Mars forges forwards in your opposite sign Aries. Unfortunately Mars keeps clashing with deep processes taking place in your roots, mother and home zone though which may throw up dilemmas around whether your main commitment is to your partner or yourself?

The demands of mother and home may need your attention, so may your deep need for growth and expansion and if this does not seem possible within your relationship, could your needs be better met outside of such a relationship? Could it be time to move on? These are uncomfortable issues for Librans but perhaps they need a review.

On a more active front, Mars is forging forwards in your finance zone and is going to be doing so for the next two months. This adds energy, determination and enterprise to establish a better financial footing and you may develop a new stream of income. Mars encounters Chiron though around 10th – 15th which can give you a better understanding of your vulnerabilities (perhaps income and self-esteem?) and the possibility of starting to heal them. Do it!

See you there!

Aries:    Your ruling planet Mars meets up with Neptune this month in your 12th House of the unconscious. This means activity behind the scenes. And could include: taking action on the charitable front or doing much soul-searching or even hitting the bottle (or whatever your favourite means of escape is) and escape will look like a very attractive option. Dreams and visions will be strong and at best, you could give birth to something creative.

The eclipse on the solstice falls in your 4th House of mother and home, self-nurture and personal development. This is an area of life where we expect to find comfort but comfort may be harder to find. Make sure at least that you are seeing to the basics I.e. eating helpful food.

Mercury goes retrograde in this same area of your solar chart from 18th. So one, some or all of these matters require more thought. Dealings with mother-figures may be trickier than usual too. Be as clear as you can be to avoid misunderstandings.

As the month draws to an end, Jupiter rejoins Pluto in your father, career and social status zone. Could that be another crunch coming up? Thank goodness Arians have enough initiative to deal with almost anything and when Mars enters your sign on 28th, little can stop you!

Taurus:    Finances continue to look confusing as the Sun squares Mars and then Neptune during the first half of the month. Any friends, collectives or organisations you have financial links with may be hard to read too. At least your ruling planet Venus goes direct on 25th in your income zone which should bring some benefit, even if only clarity as to the real situation.

Mercury planet of communication goes retrograde in your solar House of communications on 18th so if you have any important correspondence to see to, make sure it arrives before then. Neptune goes retrograde too from 23rd which may call for you to review your beliefs about the current collective situation.

New Moon and the solar eclipse on 20th also fall in your communications zone. You may experience waves in your way of thinking and have emotional dealings with neighbours or siblings. Physical movement and agility may come to your attention too. And creative works may be more emotional in terms of subject matter or you may invest more of yourself emotionally when giving birth to them. Keep your mind positive and be sure to get plenty of exercise.

Jupiter and Pluto are once again within range of each other this month and actually meet at the very end of the month but this time retrograde. Whatever changes have been taking place for you on the travel front or in your world view, including your beliefs: it is time to take a second look…

Gemini:    The Sun ball remains in your court this month until 20th, radiating warmth, optimism and freer self-expression. Venus remains retrograde in your sign though, urging you to review your relationships, creativity and values. But on 25th it happily goes direct once again.

Finances may seem problematic, especially after your ruling planet Mercury goes retrograde on 18th, followed by New Moon and the solar eclipse on 20th. This is usually a good time to make an audit or draw up a budget that will help you to navigate the days ahead but all of this may seem hard to decipher. Do your best regardless.

Joint funds do not look any easier either as both Jupiter and Pluto move backwards through your 8th House of taxes, debts and inhertances. Birth, sex and death are also represented by this house, symbolising deep transformation.

Jupiter and Pluto meet for the second time at the end of the month which is an opportunity to review the changes you put in place during their first meeting in late March. Do you need to make further changes or put to one side the measures you have put in place over the last few months?

Mars zaps up dealings with friends, groups, community and organisations from 28th. You will find new stores of energy to apply to any or all of these. You may become more politically active too. Viva la revolution!

Cancer:    Energy levels may have been low recently but that is about to change. The month before your birthday you may sometimes feel at low ebb as the Sun has been away from you for the longest time.

The good news is the Sun is bringing fresh energy and a sense of renewal to you from 20th Your birthday whether this month or next is your personal new year and a more meaningful time to make resolutions for the year ahead than January 1st. Many Happy Solar Returns! It is also the perfect time to explore your planets for the year ahead with a good astrologer.

The summer solstice is when the Sun moves into Cancer but this year it happens to also be New Moon, the start of your emotional new year. Make resolutions that will help to meet your emotional needs in the month and year ahead! This New Moon also happens to be a solar eclipse, that you may feel more than most, as it falls in your 1st House of identity.

Mercury goes retrograde in your sign too on 18th which calls for a re-think about your identity too. Which version of ‘you’ do you want to carry forward (on July 12th) when Mercury goes direct?

Jupiter rejoins Pluto in your partnerships zone towards the end of the month. This time they are both retrograde which marks another big review in relationships and partnerships (including business).

Then on 28th dynamic Mars leaps into your father, career and social status zone. Prepare for massive action!

Leo:    Your ruling planet the Sun is squaring up to Mars and Neptune during the first half of the month which makes joint finances hard to fathom. Taxes, debts, inheritances and ‘the money of others’ may need sorting out and good luck!

Mercury, planet of communication goes retrograde on 18th and the New Moon and solar eclipse follow two days later, all in the same area of your solar chart – your 12th House. This may bring up waves of emotion (seemingly from nowhere) and repressed memories. You will be strongly aware of the suffering of others and also perhaps of your own suffering. Make time for rest and healing. The emotions which come up can help you to develop spiritually and creatively but if it all becomes too much, reach out for help.

Venus goes direct on 25th in your friends, groups and community zone which helps your social life along. You will also feel more adventurous when Mars leaps into your 9th House of exploration on 28th. Even if travel is not so possible, exploring different cultures and travelling in the mind still is.

Jupiter and Pluto are retrograde all month, moving ever closer to eachother in your 6th House of work, health and service to others. Many changes have already taken place since these two met for the first time in late March. Now it is time to review how you have handled these changes and whether adjustments or further major changes need to be made…

Virgo:    There seems to be some conflict between partners and career or father-figures during the first half of the month as the Sun squares up to Mars and then Neptune but when Venus goes direct from 25th, authority figures are once again on your side.

Your ruling planet Mercury goes retrograde from 18th in your 11th House of friends, groups, community and organisations. New Moon and the solar eclipse on 20th, mark a fresh start in some respect but the way ahead is hard to make out just now. Your family of friends, community or movements you are involved with may feel this eclipse strongly. And you may find yourself being more political too.

Jupiter and Pluto, two planetary heavy-weights are once again close together and actually meet at the end of the month in your 5th House of love affairs, children and creativity. Whatever changes you made in late March need looking at again, especially in relation to these areas of life.

Mars leaps into your joint funds, sharing and intimacy zone on 28th. And it is in for an unusually long stay. If taxes, debts or inheritances need attending to, here is your cue. Equally if it is your emotional or sexual life that needs your time and attention, make space for that too.

Libra:    Mars and Neptune meet up in your 6th House of work, health and service to others from 9th – 13th and you may find yourself busy volunteering or helping others along in some way. Your regime or daily routine may be up for scrutiny too as you try to apply mindful practices to enhance your well-being or move closer to the ‘ideal you’ physically. (Pets could feature as part of the ideal picture too this month).

Your ruling planet Venus has been reviewing your higher mind, looking at beliefs, your understanding of the world and principles. She goes direct on 25th, allowing you to start putting your conclusions into action. This would normally be a green light for travel but as that is so difficult at present, covering terrain in your mind could be a good alternative. A course of study could be one way of doing this. Is there anything that you feel drawn to learn more about?

The solar eclipse falls in your 10th House of father, career and social status. Ambitions may be hard to achieve during this period but that need not stop you doing the groundwork and making preparations. Mercury goes retrograde here too from 18th which carries the danger of misunderstandings, so be extra-clear in all of your professional communications and with father-figures.

Jupiter rejoins Pluto towards the me of the month in your 4th House of mother and home. These two are strong planets planets which in combination have the potential to go over the top in some way. They are both moving retrograde though which could indicate a review of your earlier stance or actions. Mars leaps into your partnership s zone on 28th, so lots of heat here – passion or conflict both possible…

Scorpio:    Joint finances may feel a bit tricky this month, particularly in relation to your love-life or with children or your creative projects. Things may improve from 25th though when Venus goes direct and you may even benefit from any of the above or ‘the money of others’.

Your ruling planet Pluto has Jupiter within range of it once again and they actually meet for a second time this year (the first time was late-March) but this time both are retrograde. This is happening in your 3rd House of thinking, communications, short journeys, trading, physical mobility and dealings with siblings and neighbours. Time for a deep second look at one or more of these.

Mercury, planet of communication goes retrograde for us all on 18th, followed by the New Moon and solar eclipse on 20th. These all fall in your 9th House of exploration. This creates waves in how you cover terrain, be that the great outdoors, cultural studies, your world-view or how you seek the truth. Courses of deep study come into this too.

Mars leaps into your 6th House of work, health and service to others on 28th. Time to shake up your regime or find new work or new ways of doing things. Or have you thought of volunteering your sklls to help others in some way? Mars provides all the energy and resolve to get the show on the road. Fasten your seatbelt!

Sagittarius:    Your ruling planet Jupiter is retrograde all month, heading towards extremist Pluto (which is also heading backwards). This falls very heavily in your 2nd House of money, possessions, security and values… These two planets joined forces for the first time the second half of March and whatever changes were brought about then, need to be reviewed. This is extreme measures part two…

The Sun in your partnerships zone is squaring Mars and then Neptune in your 4th House of mother and home during the first half of the month. This may highlight differences of approach between partners and you about the home, parenting, dealings with mother-figures, food or personal development. But for those two weeks, talking about it may not solve the problem.

On 18th Mercury goes retrograde in your joint funds zone (which includes taxes, debts, inheritances and ‘the money of others’. New Moon on 20th here calls for new measures but the solar eclipse may make that more difficult in some way. The need for intimacy arises too, both emotionally and sexually.

Dynamic Mars leaps into your 9th House of exploration on 28th where it will stay for almost six month (more on this next month). There will be much new terrain to explore which is just how you like it.

Capricorn:    Well-being is high on the list as the month begins and you may find yourself wanting to do something about communications when Mars joins Neptune from 9th – 13th. Your way of thinking could be the place to start or how you communicate with siblings or neighbours. Equally, taking action on a business idea could fit the bill or perhaps putting pen to paper in a burst of creativity.

Mercury goes retrograde on 18th in your 7th House of relationships and partnerships, so a review of communications is needed here too and New Moon including a solar eclipse on 20th also highlights partnership matters. Give them your full attention.

Venus goes direct on 25th in your work, health and service to others zone which helps you to move forwards with your daily regime and perhaps work schedule. Jupiter meets Pluto in your sign too for a second time this spring but this time retrograde. This is an opportunity to review your use of power and how you have been progressing in terms of personal development. Have you been trying to change everyone else, instead of yourself?

On 28th Mars leaps into your 4th House. Time for action on the home front and time to be decisive about mother-figures and your own nurture-style if you are a mother-figure yourself. Remember self-nurture comes into this too!

Aquarius:    Saturn spends its last month in your sign for the moment, requiring you to review your identity. It will be returning in December for a much longer stay but the theme of reinventing yourself remains insistent all month. Your ruling planet Uranus in your career and social standing zone agrees. What will you do next?

Finances are highlighted this month by the Sun squaring Mars and Neptune in your income zone. But try as you may, it is very difficult to get a clear picture of what is happening (or is going to happen) with your income and future security.

Mercury planet of communication goes retrograde on 18th and the New Moon and solar eclipse follow two days later, all in your 6th House of work. health and service to others. Changes need to be made here too but with a solar eclipse, seeing the way ahead is obscured. One thing very clearly in your own hands though is attending to your health, well-being and daily routine. Just do it! And if work is hard to find, how about volunteering in the area you would like to move into?

Jupiter and Pluto continue to rumble in the background as your inner-workings undergo their long and deep transformation. Repressed memories and realisations can be unearthed and your awareness of pain and suffering in the world. If it all feels too much, ask for help. This can also be a spriritually and creatively rich time.

Pisces:    The Sun spends the first half of the month squaring Mars and then Neptune in your sign which indicates conflict between what is required of you career-wise and what your dreams of your ideal-self are. And when Mars meets Neptune from 9th -13th, you will hang on to your inner-resolve for dear life The demands of the world may feel harsh and reality too real. But thicken your skin as best you can and aim for the best possible outcome.

Mercury goes retrograde on 18th and the New Moon and solar eclipse on 20th all fall in your 5th House of love affairs, children and creativity. Be as clear as you can be in your communications and expect emotional waves in one or more f these areas of life.

Jupiter and Pluto are retrograde and close together all month in your 11th House of friends, groups, community, organisations and humanitarian ideals. It was these two heavy-weights that met up for the first time in late-March. Whatever started then needs reviewing. Your true tribe are still calling loudly too.

Mars leaps into your finance zone on 28th for a 6-month stay. This is three times longer than usual which you may just need to get your finances sorted out. Got the message?
