Aries:    New Moon on 1st falls in your 5th House of fun and games. This kicks the monh off with a blast of exhuberance – the kind that you love! Your ruling planet Mars is already having fun here, along with Venus up until 18th. This is great for boisterous games and creative self-expression. Time spent with children will be enjoyable, as will chasing your desires… You might even catch them!

Mercury goes direct on 1st too which can help to resolve any recent misunderstandings at home or with mother-figures. And Jupiter follows suit on 11th, ready for growth and expansion in your outlook and world view.

Uranus goes retrograde on 12th to review how closely your financial dealings reflect your true values,… This includes how you make a living, how you invest and spend your money and how much of it you give away to others who might need a hand. Uranus retrograde here suggests you need to make your life more congruous.

From 18th Mars leaps into your work, health and service to others zone. Time for a new regime perhaps? Or even a new job more in line with your principles? With Jupiter pressing ahead from 11th to act more ethically and in line with your beliefs: it may be time to make your world a bigger place!

Taurus:    New Moon on 1st falls in your mother and home zone and with Venus, Mars and the Sun already in residence, there will be many creative thoughts about possible homes or possibilities for your current home. What you need from a home is an important question too. Personal development and self-nurture benefit from this creative new phase too. And Mars enables you to put thoughts into action.

Uranus which has been in your sign full-time since March (and is residing there for another seven years) goes retrograde on 12th. This suggests you may not have fully stretched beyond your comfort zone to discover new ways of being. Have you been clinging to old familiar ways? You have until January to give this some thought. Sooner or later you will have to take courage and make a leap. A bigger picture is immerging over the next seven years and you will have lead role in this personal revolution!

Full Moon on 15th presents you once again with the need to balance the demands of the world with your emotional needs. And from 18th onwards, the focus changes to romance, children and creativity. Mars drives you onwards (possibly to pursue the object of your desires or a creative goal) and your ruling planet Venus provides the charm to win others over from 21st onwards.

Jupiter goes direct in your joint funds, sharing and intimacy zone from 11th. This completes a four-month review of your principles around sharing and financial dealings with others. (This can include taxes, debts and inheritances). And how much you share of yourself on an intimate level. You will need faith in life, for future growth.

Gemini:    Your ruling planet Mercury goes direct on 1st after four weeks going retrograde. It quickly starts making up for lost time by spanning three signs this month. And that is the kind of speed and variety that you like! New Moon is also on 1st and marks a fresh start in communications for you too. Are there any courses you would like to take or give? Ideas that have been on hold can be implemented now too.

On 11th Jupiter also goes direct in your opposite sign, completing a four-month review of relationships and partnerships. You can now once again move forwards and this time hopefully with new understanding.

Meanwhile, Uranus goes retrograde on 12th behind the scenes. This is a chance to take a second look at your inner-workings, self-talk, online world and spiritual life. A new era began here in March but compromises may have led you away from the call for an internal spring-clean. You have until January to work out a more authentic relationship with yourself.

From 18th the focus moves on to mother and home as Mars ups the energy for DIY or domestic projects and personal development. Venus glides in soon after on 21st, followed by the Sun on 23rd. You may find yourself wanting to beautify your home and inviting others round to share its pleasures.

Dealings with mother figures take on a fresh energy too. And with Mars around action could be needed or things could get heated. But Venus and the Sun should help you to find creative outcomes from 21st onwards.

Cancer:    Your ruling planet the Moon makes a fresh start on 1st in your finance zone. This has been a lively area recently with Venus and Mars coming up with all sorts of creative ideas. And from 11th you will have a way with words, to hopefully convince others of your great ideas!

Communications get a little more heated when Mars jumps into your 3rd House on 18th. Siblings and neighbours might notice you being rather more ‘assertive’ too… But Venus will be helping to find agreement and acceptable compromises from 21st, followed by the generous Sun on 23rd.

Work and health matters may have been on hold for the past four months when Jupiter was retrograde but progress becomes possible once again when Jupiter goes direct on 11th. Is it time to add some consciousness-raising activities to your daily routine? Or a more principled approach to the work you do or the food you nourish yourself with? Or do you need to spend more time in the great outdoors?

Full Moon on 15th falls in your joint funds, sharing and intimacy zone and you may be called upon to honestly examine the sometimes contrary demands of ‘your money and income’ and that which is shared with others. This includes joint finances, taxes, debts and inheritances. Now how to talk helpfully about that?

Leo:    The Sun ball remains in your court this month until 23rd, filling you with exhuberance and creative genius. Mars is in your sign too until 18th and little will get in your way as you confidently take the lead. Venus also makes you darling of the zodiac until 21st which makes for a very helpful, planetary wind behind you. And who would want to resist your plans and your warm charms?

Of course there is a price of sorts to pay for all this adulation. We need you to entertain us as your batteries fill up with sunlight. Some limelight should help to fill them up too!

New Moon is also in Leo on 1st which marks the beginning of your Personal New Year – a time to make resolutions for what you hope to find in your life emotionally in the month and year ahead.

Uranus has been in your father, career and social status zone, full time since March. The challenge for you is to find the pure, uncompromised expression of your talents and their place in the world. On 12th Uranus goes retrograde which suggests that perhaps you did not get the full hint that we are looking for radical change here… You have until mid-January to drop the compromises!

Jupiter goes direct on 11th in your romance, children and creativity zone. Time for expansion here too. Attractions to people from different countries, cultures and outlooks could make your world a bigger place and there is a green light for creativity too.

Finances or security issues capture your attention from 18th onwards and Mars will be looking for ways to push ahead. You also have the energy to create a new income stream, if that is of interest. Venus helps the fiscal picture to look rosier from 21st and your ruling planet the Sun sheds light on security matters from 23rd.

All in all, this is one heck of a month! Enjoy it all!

Virgo:    New Moon on 1st is active behind the scenes and marks the start of a new phase in your inner-life. This includes self-talk (and of course we are looking for positive reinforcement) and you may also have ideas for creative projects and also for healing yourself and others. Your ruling planet Mercury goes direct on 1st too which helps to resolve mis-communications, especially with friends, groups, organisations and communities.

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 23rd!

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 energy levels may rise even sooner as fiery Mars leaps into your sign from 18th. Dynamic action is yours. Venus makes you charmer of the zodiac too from 21st. And the Sun joins in from 23rd to melt any opposition to your projects or plans. Forge ahead!

Libra:    New Moon on 1st marks a new phase with friends, groups, community and humanitarian ideals. Your ruling planet Venus has been smoothing the path here since late July. And Mars adds a zest of extra energy until 18th. Any campaigns for a better world would benefit from your support.

Mercury goes direct on 1st too, helping to clear up any recent misunderstandings with authority figures. Librans are rarely caustic in their communications so this might involve you forgiving or understanding others better.

Joint finances, sharing and intimacy also take on a new light as Uranus goes retrograde on 12th. Have you been clinging to old ways in any of these areas of life? This applies to loans, taxes, debts and inheritances too. You have until January to reflect on this.

Jupiter also goes direct on 11th giving you a more expansive and positive mindset. And once Venus glides into your 12th House on 21st, your unconscious should be operating in a more helpful way, softening self-sabotage that sometimes holds you back.

From 18th compassion for those who are unable to improve their own circumstances is also strong. Can you help: financially or with your time and skills? Listening to the troubles of others and empathising can also be a huge help. Offer whatever you can.

Scorpio:    New Moon on 1st falls in your career and social status sector which is the perfect time to embark on a new career plan or a strategy to achieve your ambitions. Dealings with fathers and authority figures come into this too (and your own approach if you happen to be one yourself).

Venus is also present in this area of your solar chart.until 21st, helping to smooth your path and inclining others in positions of power to help you (so do ask). Mars is spurring on your ambitions too until 18th. Use this burst of determination to push your plans ahead.

Any compromises you have been making in relationships and partnerships will be under review over the next five months as Uranus goes retrograde (from 12th). A lot is being asked of you during this period of challenging growth. But Scorpios’ inner resources are rarely outfaced. Only this time, you are being called upon to be completely honest: with yourself and others.

Finances start to look more positive from 11th when Jupiter goes direct. This could be an increase in income or a more positive view of how your needs for security are met. This might not at its root, be about money or material possessions. Security can be achieved through a belief system or philosophy and also through creativity, so do explore the wider picture.

Friends, groups and community become more important from 18th when Mars (and later Venus on 21st) take their creative energies to collective pursuits. Make time for friends and perhaps you could add your talents or skills to a campaign that you believe in.

Sagittarius:    New Moon on 1st is the start of a new phase in exploration – one of your favourite activities. This can be through travel, cultural encounters or covering terrain physically or metaphysically. Venus makes these pleasurable too until 21st.

Mercury also goes direct on 1st which should help to clarify any recent confusion or misunderstandings around joint funds, sharing and intimacy. (This can also include taxes, debts and inheritances).

Your ruling planet Jupiter changes direction this month too and goes direct, in your sign, on 11th. This completes a four-month review of how you have been approaching personal growth and opportunities for expansion. Any conclusions you have reached, you can start to apply now.

On 12th Uranus goes retrograde in your work and health zone. It moved into this area of your solar chart full-time in March, challenging you to come up with the true uncompromised version of what your true calling is. If work is not relevant, then it may be about the best way to fill your days, how you should handle your health or how you can use your unique talents and skills to be of service to others.

Your father, career and social status zone revs up from 18th when Mars sharpens your ambitions or fills you with determination to tackle issues with father-figures (or with those who look up to you, if you are a father-figure yourself). From 21st Venus inclines authority figures to smile upon you. Ask for favours if you need some!

Capricorn:    Your approach to joint funds, sharing and intimacy takes on a fresh light with New Moon on 1st. And it may be time to be more generous… Mercury goes direct on the same day too, helping to resolve recent misunderstandings in relationships and partnerships (which can also be helped by a more generous attitude). And these themes may reoccur once again around Full Moon on 15th.

Jupiter goes direct in your unconscious zone on 11th. It has been retrograde for four months, reviewing your response to the pain and suffering of others and how you deal with your own painful issues. Opportunities for healing are open to you once again. Seeking them out (especially with the help of a professional) will make your internal world a much bigger and freer place. Perhaps you need to be more generous with yourself too!

Travel, different cultures, studying and ethics get an extra bolt of energy from 18th when Mars provides the energy and determination to push your agenda or plans forward. Legal matters and dealings with in-laws can be active too. Venus steps in to smooth over any discord from 21st onwards and the Sun’s arrival on 23rd helps to shed light on things that were not entirely clear.

Uranus goes retrograde on 12th in your romance sector. This introduces a review of how true you have been to yourself in your dealings with lovers and children. And then there is your creativity. What would be the most free, uncompromised expression of who you now are? Work towards it.

Aquarius:    Relationships and partnerships take on a different light with New Moon in your opposite sign on 1st. This marks a fresh start in some way. Make resolutions that will help you to work towards what (or who) you hope to find in your relationships in the month and year ahead.

Venus and Mars are enhancing the view too and adding to your passions until 18th. And Full Moon in your sign on 15th also brings up the axis of your needs as an individual versus relationships… But this is a familiar old chestnut for freedom-loving Aquarians.

Your ruling planet Uranus makes a change of direction on 12th in your domestic sphere. Uranus (the bringer of change, disruption and revolution) leapt into your mother and home zone full time in March, although there was a lead-up to this last autumn. (And you, more than others may have felt this coming).

Disruptions are likely but rather than focusing on what is causing your discomfort, examine and acknowledge what feelings are brought up for you in the midst of it all. Getting the help of a counsellor or therapist makes this easier and keeps you from going round in circles.

Any compromises you have made may not work out long term as Uranus demands the pure version of what you need a home to be and how you need to nurture and be nurtured. You have until early January to work some of this out. Uranus is going to revolutionise this area of your life over the next seven years. Personal development comes into this too. Welcome it in!

Pisces:    A new cycle begins on 1st with New Moon in Leo, regarding work, health and service to others. Could it be time for a new regime or a new job? Your daily routine also comes into this. Can you make a creative addition to your day or week? With the Sun, Venus and Mars now backing this up, whatever you envision can become a reality.

Mercury goes direct on 1st too, helping to improve communications with children, lovers and playmates. And from 11th Mercury can also make daily physical exercise easier.

Your career, social status and dealings with father-figures have been under review for four months but on 11th Jupiter goes direct, enabling you to apply your conclusions and move forward once again. This could mean you going for career expansion, daring to take a chance or improving your relationship with father figures.

Uranus goes retrograde on 12th, taking you back to look at how you have been thinking and communicating. Physical movement, courses, trading and dealings with siblings and neighbours come into this too. Uranus moved into this area of your solar chart full-time in March, looking for the uncompromising version of how you communicate in the widest sense. New ways of thinking are needed. Also new forms of physical movement can open up extra neural pathways but only if you give them a go!

Relationships and partnerships grab your attention from 18th onwards. Action is needed here too! And only you know what that should be.

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:    Home, nurturing and mother-figures are a strong focus for you this month with New Moon on 2nd marking the start of your domestic New Year. Venus glides into this area of your solar chart too on 3rd with the promise of pleasure through beautifying your home, enjoying time there and perhaps entertaining others. Dealings with mother figures should go well too (and dealings with those you care for, if you are a mother-figure yourself). The Sun adds creative self-expression here too until 23rd.

The only flies in the ointment are when the Sun and then Venus run into opposition from Saturn and Pluto in your career, social status and ambitions sector. Saturn and Pluto are both heavy-weights and may take the form of authority figures ‘over-functioning’… This can get particularly frustrating around 9th and 17th when Saturn stops play. And 14th and 21st when Pluto might be prone to power trips.

While all of this is playing out, your ruling planet Mars is having fun in your 5th House of romance, children and creativity. The Sun shows up too with more cheery energy from 23rd and Venus also glides in too from 28th. When Mars and Jupiter team up from 24th – 27th, lots of buoyant optimism shows up. Make time for recreation and maybe even sports?

New Moon on 2nd is also a solar eclipse belonging to a series that carries the theme of big scale action. This applies to your roots and foundations, including self-nurture. Without becoming obsessive, how can you apply it?

Taurus:    The New Moon on 2nd falls in your communications zone. We create our own realty by how we think and this New Moon is an opportunity to look at your mindset (and change the settings if necessary…). Physical movement is another form of communication, so trying new moves can be very helpful too.

One theory is that crawling when young opens up new neural pathways in the brain and as adults we can continue to open more pathways through new forms of physical movement. (Early in the month may be best for this, as Mercury goes retrograde here from 19th to 2nd August).

This particular New Moon is also a solar eclipse, belonging to an eclipse family that carries the themes of big scale action. Work out creative ways of incorporating these qualities into your mental, verbal or physical self-expression (without going over the top).

Your ruling planet Venus helps to make these areas of life pleasurable for most of the month, apart from opposition from Saturn and Pluto on 17th and 21st. Ethics, principles or cultural expectations may run counter to what you are trying to achieve. In-laws, people in or from different countries and belief systems could feature, as could ‘the law’. (The Sun has similar struggles around 9th and 14th).

Mars is freshly in your mother and home zone all month. If there are projects that need attending to, spring into action up until 7th and after 19th, as Mercury is retrograde in between. The Sun brings added energy to your efforts from 23rd and Venus helps to smooth things along from 28th. Dealings with mother-figures and nurturing are included in this too. And do not forget self-nurturing!

Gemini:    Finances may be an unpredictable mystery this month which kicks off with a solar eclipse and New Moon in your fiscal zone on 2nd. This eclise also brings an urge for big-scale action to the table which will call on you to address your income, value system, self-esteem or creativity. Venus brings a passing rosy glow from 3rd – 28th but matters raised by the eclipse usually play out for some months.

The financial demands of others continues to spoil the view somewhat (taxes, debts and inheritances included). Demands for more intimacy may rile too. Whatever form these demands take, your tranquility may be disrupted. Your ruling planet Mercury goes retrograde here too from 19th – 2nd August, so put off important financial decisions during that period if you can.

Mental energy is high this month as Mars charges through your communications zone. Exchanges may be more heated than usual which may be due to you being more ‘assertive’. Misunderstandings could occur though from 7th – 19th when Mercury is retrograde here too. Double check during this period that everyone is clear about what has been agreed (including youself).

The Sun adds energy to your communications and self-expression from 23rd and Venus brings mental pleasures from 28th. Physical movement, short journeys and dealings with neighbours and siblings come into this too. So does teaching others your skills.

Cancer:    The Sun ball remains in your court this month until 23rd radiating warmth, optimism and freer self-expression. But this may fade into the background due to the total solar eclipse in your sign along with New Moon on 2nd. New Moon in your sign marks the start of your emotional New Year and so you may feel this eclipse more keenly than most.

The eclipse family this eclipse belongs to is to do with undertaking big-scale action. So this may be a pertinent theme in your emotional life in the months ahead. It is important too not to become obsessive about what you choose to do.

Venus is in your sign too until 28th, making you darling of the zodiac. Others will not be immune to your charms. This may not be apparent though when Saturn and Pluto oppose you from your relationships and partnerships zone around 17th and 21st. (The Sun also gets blocked by these two on 9th and 14th).

Mars is pressing ahead in your security and finance zone all month but finances are unclear as Mercury goes retrograde here from 7th – 19th. Something needs rethinking connected to your income, finances or linked to security, values or creativity. Self-esteen could come into this too. You have until mid-August to put things straight so that you can move forward once again.

Full Moon on 16th falls in your opposite sign Capricorn. Emotions may run high in relationships and partnerships around then too. When Venus opposes Saturn on 17th, you may feel blocked. But Venus and Neptune co-operate and are more forgiving around 18th. Navigate relationships as best you can this month!

Leo:    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 your ruling planet 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 23rd!

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

On 1st Mars leaps into your sign too adding extra dynamism and determination to your creative self-expression. Mercury goes retrograde though from 7th – 19th, so use this time to review how you have been expressing yourself creatively rather than pushing ahead then.

Your unconscious is busy this month too but so is your creative imagination which is great for creativity behind the scenes. Your work or health or daily routine could get in the way of this though, especially around 9th, 14th, 17th and 21st. Try to accommodate the real world as well as attend to your inspirational life.

New Moon and the solar eclipse on 2nd fall in your 12th House too. The better you know yourself and your inner-workings, the greater your well-being will be. This particular eclipse challenges you to take massive action in your psychological, creative or spiritual life, at the same time as avoiding obsession…

Virgo:    Your ruling planet Mercury is retrograde for most of this month. From 7th – 19th it will be reviewing your thinking or communications coming from your unconscious. And from 19th July – 2nd August it will be reviewing your communications, thoughts and dealings with friends, groups and community. New Moon and the solar eclipse on 2nd are also concerned with these matters and call for big action (without getting obsessed about it). Have you thought of joining (or starting) a group?

Neptune remains retrograde in your relationships and partnerships zone all month, keeping things on hold. There is a nice aspect though between Venus and Neptune around 17th – 18th which represents the kind of devotion that Virgos specialise in.

Your unconscious is a busy place this month with Mars revving away behind the scenes. This could motivate you to put compassion into action, get creative or take up a spiritual practice. From 19th, once Mercury is out of the way, all should go well as the Sun illuminates your efforts from 23rd, Mars engages expansive Jupiter from 24th – 27th and Venus brings pleasure and ease from 28th. So what are you waiting for?

Libra:    Your ambitions run smoothly for most of the month as your ruling planet Venus smoothes your path. People in authority can be helpful too. . (Ask them for favours if you need any but before 19th when Mercury goes retrograde). New Moon on 2nd falls here too, marking a new phase relating to career, social status or dealings with father-figures. The Sun is around until 23rd too, shedding light on different matters and urging you to be creative.

The only hitches are when Saturn and Pluto loom up in your 4th House of mother and home, roots and foundations. Saturn may bring frustrations around 9th and 17th (do not bother to press forwards then) and power plays may raise their head around 14th and 21st when Pluto intervenes. Libran are usually able to charm their way through but give yourself a rest on these days if you can.

Mars is freshly in your friends, groups and community zone all month. You have energy to give and find in interactions here. The Sun adds extra inspiration from 23rd and Venus brings harmony from 28th. Arrangements and agreements may need double-checking though from 7th – 19th when Mercury is retrograde here.

New Moon on 2nd is also an eclipse and part of a family of eclipses that ushers in big action. How can you apply this to your father, career, ambitions or social status?

Scorpio:    Travel, studying and your world view begin a new phase on 2nd as New Moon falls in this area of your solar chart. If you have been thinking about broadening your explorations (physical or meta-physical: this could be a good time to start). A solar eclipse occurs at the same time as New Moon which adds the theme of big-scale action to your explorations. Incorporate this but in a non-obsessive way.

Mars is heating up your 10th House of father, career and social status this month and you will feel keen to push your ambitions towards. Step back from this though between 7th – 19th when Mercury is retrograde. The Sun arrives to assist you however from 23rd and Venus encourages people in positions of power to look kindly on you from 28th. (If you need any favours, ask them).

Your ruling planet Pluto is challenging the Sun around 14th and Venus around 21st. You are perceptive and can usually see to the heart of things. Be careful how you use this power, especially around those dates as not everyone is as resilient as you are. Try not to dampen other people’s optimism too around 9th and 17th. There is always a place for realism but we must allow others their dreams too.

Jupiter continues to move backwards through your finance zone, continuing your review on what place expansion should or should not take. Be patient and accept this for now as you are almost at the end of your review period (more next month).

Sagittarius:    The month begins with a fresh start in your joint funds, sharing and intimacy zone in the form of a New Moon and solar eclipse on 2nd. This eclipse calls for big-scale action that will change the situation in the months ahead and you may have felt this coming.

Venus glides through this same area of your chart from 3rd – 28th which can indicate benefitting from ‘the money of others’ or opportunities for intimacy in some way. There seems to be some difficulty though coming from your side, particularly around 9th, 14th, 17th and 21st.

Could it be your reactions or values are blocking this? Are you being overly-independent, controlling or going against your own principles? Or are others demanding money from you? This can include taxes, debts or requests for a loan or legacy. Or are you contemplating a terrifyingly large loan or expense? Whatever it is, your security needs are reacting.

Mercury goes retrograde in this area of your chart from 19th – 2nd August and it might be an idea to avoid signing anything important during that period if you can.

Mars may be stirring up feelings of restlessness this month. And the urge to explore, travel or study may be strong. Mercury goes retrograde here from 7th – 19th which is not ideal for journeys, so be prepared for hold-ups or changes of plan if you are travelling during that period.

The Sun joins Mars from 23rd and Venus does likewise from 28th. Mars is on board with your ruling planet Jupiter from 24th – 27th. So we have energy, expansion, self-expression and harmony all on your side. Now what or where are you going to explore?

Capricorn:    New Moon and a solar eclipse in your opposite sign on 2nd starts the month off in a memorable way. The New Moon in Cancer usually marks a fresh phase in relationships and partnerships but this year it carries the added theme of big-scale action which this eclipse family belongs to. Be as creative as you can in dealing with or incorporating these issues in your relationships in the month and year ahead.

Venus helps to smooth things along from 3rd and you will be especially aware of partner’s charms. The difficulties that arise though seem to be coming from your side… With Saturn and Pluto insisting on your transformation, you are being challenged, pressed and stretched to come up with the new version of you.

Being in a chrysalis is very tight and uncomfortable but this is an essential stage of transformation! Do your best not to get in your own way during this period of intense growth, especially around 9th, 14th, 17th and 21st. (And give partners a break from time to time…).

Joint finances may be a hot topic this month as Mars generates energy to tackle this. Mercury goes retrograde here though from 7th – 19th so watch what you say and be patient as things are unlikely to be sorted during this period. Sharing in general is another topic, including yourself on an intimate level. Discussions around this are probably best saved for after 19th when Mercury has moved on. If this does not seem to apply to you, taxes, debts or inheritances may be the hot potato you are trying to deal with.

Aquarius:    New Moon on 2nd falls in the work, health and services to others sector of your solar chart. And if there was ever a time to start a new regime: this is it! There is a solar eclise at the same time which adds the theme of taking massive action to this fresh start. Make headway straight away as Mercury is retrograde from 19th onwards which may require a few adjustments (and is not a good time to start).

Venus might even find someone to keep you company at the same time. Relations with colleagues and daily companions go well for most of the month, apart from a few hiccoughs (or altercations) around 9th, 14th, 17th and 21st when Saturn and Pluto may trigger unconscious reactions on your part. Self-awareness is your best friend this month, more than ever. Be ready to apologise for any unreasonable reactions too, if necessary.

It could also be that fears get in the way of what you are trying to achieve at work or in your well-being. Engage professional help to explore this material and any self-sabotage patterns created when young; if you are ready for the deep and fascinating adventure of self-discovery! Creative work behind the scenes can be rich and fruitful, as can tending or showing compassion to those unable to tend themselves.

Mars leaps into your 7th House of relationships and partnerships at the start of the month which heats things up. Whether this results in passion or conflict is partly in your hands. Pressing ahead with things may not be a good idea while Mercury is retrograde in this area of your chart from 7th – 19th. But from 23rd the Sun is on your side and Venus joins in too from 28th. The Sun is challenging your social status too around 28th – 29th. Could be interesting!

Pisces:     Romance children and creativity are high-lighted this month, starting with a New Moon on 2nd. This marks the start of a new phase here. There is also a solar eclipse at the same time, belonging to an eclipse family that carries the theme of big-scale action that will change your current situation. So what is it going to be Pisceans?

Venus glides into your 5th House too from 3rd, bringing pleasure until 28th. Although Venus runs up against opposition from Saturn and Pluto around 7th, 9th, 14th and 21st. Mercury goes retrograde here too from 19th – 2nd August which may not be the best time to initiate things, so start right away on July 2nd!

Mars is revving through your 6th House of work, health and service to others all month. Taking action here is needed too. Time for a new regime, volunteer programme or job? Or is there a helpful daily practice that could be added to your regime? Mercury goes retrograde here though from 3rd – 19th, so start either before or after then if you can.

Neptune remains retrograde in your sign but there is a lovely aspect from Venus around 17th – 18th when it is good to appreciate your blessings. Could registering gratitude towards life become one of your daily practices?

Aries:    Powerful forces are at play in your 10th House of father, career and social status, especially at the beginning of the month from 1st – 3rd, when Venus meets Pluto and people in authority could help you a great deal. If you happen to be such a person yourself, use your influence in the best way possible.

New Moon is also on 3rd in your communications zone. If you have been thinking about a new idea for a project, this could be the perfect time to put it into action (trading, dealing with the general public, studying and sharing your skills with others included).

Your ruling planet Mars continues to energise your 4th House of mother and home. This is good for taking action and getting things done but it can also heat things up in dealings with mother figures and in domestic relations.

Mars also runs up against a strong challenge between 11th and 20th. But what is life without a challenge? If someone else resorts to ruthlessness, do not follow suit. Communications could be a bit loaded between 15th – 19th. Be very clear in what you say. And make sure you mean it!

Taurus:    Your ruling planet Venus remains in your sign until 9th, heightening your charms and attracting others to you even more than usual. Venus then glides into your 2nd House, helping your finances to look rosier. New Moon on 3rd marks a new phase here too and is the perfect time to draw up a new budget.

Take this opportunity to look at ways of increasing your sense of security (which may not be about money at all). This could be to do with creativity or a value system that gives a deeper sense of security. When Venus opposes Jupiter and squares Neptune from 23rd – 24th, you may be called upon to help others (friends, groups or charities), possibly financially.

You are mentally active all month and possibly more assertive than usual. Neighbours or siblings may be the first to become aware of this… Standing up for your principles could also be important but try not to enter into battles of will, especially around 11th – 20th when others may be doing just that.

You may find yourself wanting to talk to mother-in-law’s from 27th. Guests or creative ideas about home could arrive too. Be ready to receive, enjoy and run with them.

Gemini:    The Sun ball remains in your court this month until 21st, radiating warmth, optimism and freer self-expression. New Moon on 3rd is in your sign too and marks the beginning of your personal New Year. Make resolutions that will help you to meet your emotional needs in the month and year ahead!

New Moon on 3rd is also in your sign which marks the beginning of your personal new year too. Focus on what you hope to find in your emotional life in the month and year ahead. Harmony (and even romance) may be easier to find after 9th when Venus glides into your sign, adding to your sparkle. Gifted with a silver tongue anyway, others should be on their guard!

Mars continues in your finance zone all month, making you even more entrepreneurial than usual. Your go-getting skills will be running on all four cylinders. You could even generate a new stream of income. Forge ahead up to 9th and then push forward again after 20th. (Planetary oppositions get in the way of all of us trying to make headway mid-month).

Full Moon on 17th falls in your opposite sign, when relationships and partnerships get emotionally charged. The Sun and Venus get caught up with Jupiter and Neptune too from 10th – 11th and 23rd – 24th with unclear outcomes. You have the ability to please others but do not put yourself on the wrong side of honesty in doing so…

Cancer:    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 21st!

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 determination remains high all month as Mars continues to forge through your sign. You may be more assertive too. Your efforts may be blocked around 11th – 14th though, when Mars opposes Saturn. This is frustrating but use this time for reflecting on how you have asserted yourself in the past and how you want to assert yourself in the future. By 12th you can apply your conclusions.

Partners or adversaries may not like the outcome of this review however, especially around 16th – 20th. And you could have the challenge of how to best deal with this, without backing down. Could it be that they feel threatened? If they have been making themselves too comfortable, then they may…

Leo:    The first nine days of June, Venus helps you to get support for your ambitions whether these are to do with career or social status. Venus then glides into your 11th House of friends, groups, communities and humanitarian ideals. New Moon on 3rd marks a new phase in one or more of these areas of life too. Is there a group you would like to join or even form? Venus could even stir up romance here if you are open to it.

Your ruling planet the Sun runs up against Jupiter and Neptune around 10th – 11th when you need to make sure any plans for expansion are not going to be to your detriment – i.e. not over-expansion. This is a good planetary line-up for creativity though (but watch out for excessive drinking etc).

Full Moon on 17th falls in your romance, children and creativity zone. There are lots of other planetary dynamics going on around 15th – 20th too on an unconscious level and in your work, health and services to others axis. Is your daily routine getting in the way of creativity? Or is your unconscious interfering with your well-being in some way?

The Sun squares up to Chiron around 27th. This is an opportunity to illuminate any flaws in your studies, world view, belief system or legal position. The Sun is your ruling planet. Let its light shine in.

Virgo:    New Moon on 3rd marks a new phase in your career, ambitions or social status. Venus joins in too from 9th which inclines people in positions of power to view you warmly. If you need their help, just ask. Try not to do this though around 23rd – 24th when Venus gets caught up in a confusing planetary line-up with Jupiter and Neptune.

There is an uncomfortable dynamic for us all from 11th – 20th this month, when Mercury and Mars oppose Saturn and Pluto. For Virgos this looks like possible conflict between individual and group demands. This could be regarding creativity, dealings with children or a dilemma between friendship and romance. Full Moon on 17th in your mother and home zone falls right in the middle of this too. Make sure you manage to look after yourself amidst any dramas that crop up.

Neptune goes retrograde on 21st in your 7th House of relationships and partnerships. Something here needs looking at again. This could be whether the dream has lived up to expectations or whether your expectations need to be reviewed. And things get even more confusing around 23rd – 24th when attempts to please others give unfathomable results. Could you have been over-idealising a certain someone? Or under-valuing yourself?

Libra:    New Moon on 3rd is a good point to take a fresh look at the world. Is there somewhere you have always wanted to visit? This could be the time to make future plans or to even go now. Exploring different cultures, philosophies and spiritual practicex can be done closer to home. Take physical or meta-physical steps to make your world wider.

Your ruling planet Venus has an interesting day then too as it joins power-wielding Pluto. Sudden obsessions could occur, as could a new awareness of the power patterns you tend to fall into in relationships, especially at home and with mother-figures (or with your children if you are a mother). Try to keep an objective eye on this (although that. might not be easy at present).

You may be wanting to push ahead with ambitions but unresolved matters in your roots and foundations are not co-operating. 11th – 20th could be especially difficult. Could it be time to explore some of this early material with the support of a counsellor or therapist?

The lure of different countries and cultures gets stronger from 9th. Meeting people with different belief systems and viewpoints could bring pleasure too. Now where might you find some?

Scorpio:    Venus continues to smooth relationships and partnerships until 9th. Communications are satisfying and deep too. Venus then glides into your 8th House of joint funds which is usually helpful but watch out for miscommunications around 23rd – 24th when you may lose your sense of perspective. Direct any excess energy then, into creative projects if you can.

New Moon on 3rd marks a new phase in joint funds, sharing and intimacy. Discussions around these are helpful. You can also take this opportunity to come to joint decisions on future direction and plans.

Your ruling planet Pluto runs into opposition from Mars (from 16th – 20th) and Mercury (from 18th – 19th). Try not to impose your will and ideas on others. Dialogue is fine. Just make sure it is two-way.

Principles and ethics grow in importance as the month progresses. Your curiosity may also lead you to explore different cultures and belief systems either through physical, inter-cultural or meta-physical travel. We all belong to a big, wide world.

Sagittarius:    New Moon on 3rd is in your opposite sign which marks a new phase in relationships or partnerships. Venus glides in to smooth things along too from 9th, although it runs into some opposition around 23rd – 24th. If something seems too good to be true then, it probably is… Be aware of how far you go in pleasing others too. It could be misleading as they may expect it to continue and for you this may just be a passing phase (which is fine if you make it clear).

Finances continue to look gritty as Saturn and Pluto get closer to each other. Minimalism could be one answer. Pushy financial or intimate demands from others (or yourself) could cause all sorts of dilemmas and crash straight into your bank balance, sense of security or values, especially between 11th – 20th. Full Moon in your sign on 17th (09.32 BST), in the middle of all of this, adds to the raised temperature too.

Neptune goes retrograde on 21st, indicating that your dream home, dealings with mother figures or your nurturing style (including self-nurture) may need reassessing. And it may take some months of reflection before you feel you know how to proceed.

Lighter relief comes in the form of Mercury from 27th, beckoning you on to distant horizons. Time for a trip, a new course of study or cultural exploration?

Capricorn:    Good times continue during the first nine days of June as Venus glides through your 5th House of romance, children and creativity. And New Moon on 3rd marks a fresh start in your working life, health or daily routine. Could it be time for a new job or health regime? And what about devoting some of your time to being of service to others? These areas of life are central to your well-being. Take a fresh look at some or all of them.

Venus brings pleasurable from 9th onwards in one or more of these areas of life too. Relations with colleagues and daily companions go well. Romance could even be in the air. And attending to your daily rituals can be a source of pleasure and comfort too.

Planetarily it is looking like partners may not agree with you on a number of matters this month, especially from 11th – 20th. Keep communications civil and make room for both points of view to be heard. Your survival does not depend on being ‘right’. And listening to others will not diminish you. You might even learn something. Others will also listen to you better, if they can see you are listening to them.

The Sun and Chiron may bring up childhood wounds around 27th. Take this opportunity to make time and lend an ear to your inner-child.

Aquarius:    Harmony at home continues for the first nine days of June, then Venus glides into your 5th House of romance, children and creativity. Make time to enjoy some or all of these. New Moon on 3rd marks a new phase here too. The only danger is over-indulging around 23rd – 24th. Watch spending then as you might be more susceptible to sales pitches and Neptune could confuse the rational eye…

There is lots going on in your 6th House of work, health and service to others too. Mars valiantly presses forward in its mission to find new work or a healthier regime. Mercury keeps your mind busy with communications and new ideas. And the Sun provides fresh light from 21st onwards.

Saturn and Pluto operating from your unconscious, may get in the way of work or health goals around 11th – 20th though. Rather than force things, take this time to reflect, review and fine-tune your plans and intentions. Look at ways of getting your unconscious on board too (hypnosis, affirmations, therapy or meditation perhaps?).

On 27th the Sun brings to light aspects of your conscious mind or communications that do not serve you well. Thoughts and ideas around partnerships begin to emerge then too. Notice what they tell you.

Pisces:    New Moon on 3rd marks a fresh start in your mother and home zone. Are there any changes you would like like to make? Venus joins in too from 9th and stays all month. This usually creates pleasure in the home. You may beautify your home or want to share is pleasures with others by entertaining. Dealings with mother figures usually go well too. If making special plans, it might be a good idea to avoid 23rd – 24th though, when Venus and Jupiter square up to Neptune, creating possible confusion.

Your 5th House of romance, children and creativity is busy all month with Mars determined to push things forward but it runs into opposition around 11th – 20th from Saturn and Pluto in the form of friends, groups, community or humanitarian ideals? Or are you pushing for a friendship to be more? Or is a friend pushing you?

Your ruling planet Neptune goes retrograde on 21st in your sign. And it is time for another deep review of your identity, how it should be expressed and outlets for that expression. This is not a quick process as Neptune stays retrograde until late November. Your ‘current self’ and ‘ideal self’ may seem far apart. The challenge is to either move them closer together or to embrace and accept that gap. Feed this inner process over the coming months, with your love and attention.

Aries:    New Moon on 4th falls in your finance zone which is the perfect time to draw up a budget or financial plans for the month and year ahead. These may not go entirely to plan as Uranus (which is occupying this area of your solar chart for the next seven years) brings the unexpected… but Venus adds a rosy glow to your present financial picture from 15th.

Communications may be tricky from 1st – 9th or you may rub up authority figures in an unhelpful way. But with Venus in your sign until 15th, you should be able to charm your way through any prickly situations.

Taurus:    The Sun ball remains in your court this month until 21st, radiating warmth, optimism and freer self-expression. And New Moon on 4th marks the start of your emotional New Year.

Gemini:    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 21st!

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 Mercury is zooming around and skips into your sign from 21st. Mars stays in your sign too until 16th, adding resolve and determination to your endeavours. It then moves into your 2nd House of money, possessions, income, security and values. This could be the bolt of energy you have been looking for, to start up a new or second stream of income. Now what could that be?

Cancer:    Despite possible initial misunderstandings from 6th – 9th, Venus helps to eventually get authority figures on your side up until 15th. The same applies to dealings with father figures (or your own dealings as a father, if you are one). Harmonious outcomes can be found around 10th.

Time spent with friends and in groups and community is interesting and enjoyable, especially from 15th onwards. You may also be introduced to new ideas or new people which will be refreshing and enlivening. Have you thought about joining a group? Or maybe even starting one?

On 16th Mars leaps into your sign, filling you with energy and determination to push your agenda forwards. Make headway immediately as after June 12th it may run into some opposition from Saturn and Pluto.

Venus and Uranus could spark attraction tto a friend around 16th – 18th. And Full Moon on 18th falls in your romance, children and creativity zone. Who knows what this wave may bring?

Leo:   Your principles and daily demands may clash around the start of the month. Work commitments may get in the way of taking a trip, taking up studies or sorting out legal matters. This should pass by 9th though and you can then proceed.

Mars in your 12th House after 16th can help you to confront and sort out any self-sabotage that has been going on. It can also help you to get creative behind the scenes.

If your career has been in the doldrums, that is about to change as New Moon on 4th marks a fresh start and time to put new resolutions in place. How would you like to be seen in public? And what can you do in the year ahead to bring that about?

Venus glides in to help here from 15th (until 9th June). Influential people in positions of authority will want to help you advance. If there is a way they can help you, be sure to ask!

Virgo:    If you are thinking of planning a trip, a course of study or attending to legal matters, the New Moon on 4th may be a good point to get started. Venus’s arrival from 15th favours you and makes interactions pleasurable. And when it joins Uranus around 16th – 18th, unexpected outcomes could take you by surprise!

Mars continues to forge your career and social status onwards until 16th. And your ruling planet Mercury takes over with quick-thinking, bright ideas from 21st. Your sparkling voice (whether spoken or written) is out there in the public eye.

From 16th Mars energises dealings with friends, groups and community. This is good for leadership and getting things done. Have you been thinking of joining or starting a group? The planetary wind is now behind you. Forge ahead!

Libra:    Your ruling planet Venus keeps relationships running smoothly until 15th, despite a choppy start to the month on the mother and home front. These two areas of life are not that compatible right now and your Libran charms may be tested.

New Moon on 4th falls in your joint funds, intimacy and sharing zone. This is a good point to sort out loans, debts, wills, inheritances and joint accounts. Venus helps things along here too from 15th but it immediately encounters unpredictable Uranus around 16th – 18th when anything could happen (including sudden, intense attractions… ).

Mars zooms into your father, career and social status sector from 16th. If you have been holding back on ambitions for any reason, get back on track as Mars will provide the energy, drive and determination to push things forward.

Scorpio:    Work and health are looking good during the first half of the month as Venus smoothes relations with colleagues and daily companions (apart from a few differences of opinion around 6th – 9th when you should avoid being dramatic…).

Your personal relationships and business partnerships are looking good too, especially from 16th onwards when Venus creates harmony and co-operation. New Moon on 4th falls here too, marking a fresh phase in relationships and partnerships. Make resolutions that will help them along.

Full Moon in your sign on 18th follows an exciting two days of Venus and Uranus creating attraction and excitement. Be experimental!

Sagittarius:    New Moon on 4th marks a fresh start in work, health or service to others. Pets could come into this too. Have you been thinking about a new daily companion? Or perhaps a new job or health regime?

Venus joins Uranus around 16th – 18th in this same area of your solar chart. This is an exciting combination and could generate a passing attraction to a work colleague or to a creative new regime.

Mars keeps things sparky in relationships and partnerships until 16th, then it changes focus onto joint funds (including taxes, wills, debts and inheritances), sharing and intimacy. Do you have matters that need sorting out? Here is the bolt of energy to get you started.

Capricorn:    If you have plans concerning romance, children or creativty; May 5th (following the New Moon late on 4th) is a good point to roll them into action. This becomes even more enjoyable after Venus arrives on 15th.

The first half of the month presents some challenges, when keeping things harmonious at home or with mother figures, demands much of you. Or the process of beautifying your home could be challenging in some way too. All of this will have blown over by 9th though and you can hope to enjoy the results of your efforts from 10th – 15th.

Mars completes its energetic tour of your work and health zone and leaps into relationships and partnerships on 16th. Mars generates heat which can express itself in passion or conflict. Opt for the former!

Aquarius:    Home sweet home is looking even sweeter this month with New Moon on 4th marking the start of a new cycle. Make resolutions that will help you to achieve the home that you want. We all spring into the world from the home, so how things are domestically, colours our trajectory into the world. This also includes dealings with mother figures and working on our personal development.

Venus joins the picture too from 15th and you may find yourself wanting to beautify your home or inviting others to share its pleasures with you. When Venus joins your ruling planet Uranus here around 16th – 18th, memorable experiences are likely. If entertaining, be ready for surprises.

You may even find romance while sitting at home! This is not to be confused with lasting love. But what would life be without some excitement? Another possibility is a brand new design to an area of your home or making a new space for creative activity. This is exciting too!

Mars leaps into your work and health zone from 16th. Time to look for a new job perhaps or to start a new health regime?

Pisces:    Communications and your way of thinking are ready for a breath of fresh air which comes in the form of New Moon on 4th. This is a good point to practise positive thinking and affirmations and to take classes or to teach your skills to others. Or perhaps create a new presence on the internet?

Finances look mostly rosy until 15th, apart from some tricky dynamics around 6th – 9th. But from 15th onwards, Venus smoothes things along in communications which makes for enjoyable conversations and pleasure from short journeys, trading and dealings with neighbours and siblings.

You might have a brainwave around 16th – 18th when Venus meets Uranus. Full Moon on 18th could intensify this and Mars moving into your romance, children and creativity zone at the same time (from 16th) could result in the unexpected. This does not always produce long-lasting situations but it is an awakening. Awaken!

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:      The Sun ball remains in your court this month until 20th, radiating warmth, optimism and freer self-expression.  This is good for creative pursuits along with a sense of positive well-being.  You may notice the impact of authority figures around 8th – 13th but take this as a testing of the validity of your path.  Mercury lends you mental energy too from 17th when it skips into your sign.

Your ruling planet Mars is also freshly in your communications zone, adding even more impact to your mental punch.  Others may regret entering into discussions (and especially disagreements) with you, as your determination to win will be strong…  Bear in mind though that allowing others to hold different opinions does not diminish you in any way.

New Moon in your sign on 19th marks the beginning of your personal New Year.  Make resolutions that will support and meet your emotional needs in the month and year ahead.

Full Moon on 19th falls for the second month running in your relationships and partnerships zone, creating an emotional night tide and possibly a second chance to grasp an opportunity missed in March.  Now what could that be?

Taurus:    Spending time with friends and in groups and the communities you belong to are all pleasurable this month, as your ruling planet Venus glides through our communal zone until 20th.  Around 9th – 10th Venus also joins Neptune, heightening your ideals of friendship or humanitarian causes.

You are active on the money-making front too this month as Mars ploughs through your finance zone.  Whatever needs sorting out, can be sorted out with the forthright energy of Mars on board.  You may even be able to create a new income stream.  Jupiter in your joint funds zone goes retrograde from 10th so you may also be reviewing joint accounts, taxes, debts and inheritances.  Your attitude towards sharing and intimacy may undergo a review too.

Energy levels in general, 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.  It is also the perfect time to explore your planets for the year ahead with a good astrologer.  Many Happy Solar Returns!

The Blue Moon on 19th is in your work, health and service to others zone.  This is a second chance to take one or more of these areas in hand.  Then the Sun joins unpredictable, exciting Uranus in your sign from 20th – 22nd which is a reminder of the Taurean awakening which has only just begun…

Gemini:     On 31st March Mars leapt into your sign adding extra dynamism, energy and determination to your creative self-expression and this will last until mid-May.  Your ambitions are looking good too as Venus glides through your professional zone.  If you need favours from people with influence, be sure to ask before 20th.

New Moon on 5th falls in your friends, group and community zone.  This is a good time to form or join a group or to campaign for a cause close to your heart.  You might also make new friends at the same time!

Jupiter goes retrograde in the relationships and partnerships area of your solar chart on 10th.  This calls for you to revisit opportunities missed or positions taken that may not have been helpful.

Joint funds, taxes, debts, inheritances, sharing and intimacy continue to be heavy jelly, as Pluto and then Saturn go retrograde from 24th and 30th respectively.  Some difficult ground here needs looking at for a second time.

Cancer:     The Sun is keeping your professional zone warm and creative until 20th.  And New Moon on 5th falls here too, marking the start of a fresh new phase to do with father, career or social status.  Mercury arrives with new ideas from 17th, followed by Venus on 20th which further enhances your ambitions.

Relationships and partnerships continue to rumble with growing intensity as the heavy-weights Saturn and Pluto move closer together from 4th onwards.  They may intervene and disrupt worldly plans between 8th and 13th.  And Mercury runs up against Saturn which may restrict ideas or communications around 30th.

Our Blue Moon on 19th – the second in the same sign (Libra) falls once again in your 4th House of mother and home.  This is a central area of importance for Cancerous.  And a second chance is on offer here.  What opportunity did you not grasp last month?  Include self-nurture and personal development, as well as mother and home in your ponderings.

Travel and exploration are well-starred too until 20th with pleasure on offer, on trips and interactions with people from different countries and cultures.  When Venus joins Neptune around 9th – 10th, your dreams will come to the fore.  Is there a dream destination you could make a reality?  Or perhaps an exotic romance?

Leo:     The bigger picture and distant horizons are high on the agenda as the month begins with your ruling planet the Sun warming your 9th House of exploration.  The allure of travel, deep study and different cultures are strong and your principles will guide you through ethical matters.

New Moon on 5th falls in this area of your solar chart too which is a good point to make or plan a trip or enquiry (physical or meta-physical) that will broaden your understanding of the world and perhaps your spiritual purpose too.  This should also be creative as the Sun illuminates your path until 20th, followed by Venus from 20th onwards.  Relations with people from different countries or cultures, exploring new ground or learning a new language could be a source of pleasure too.

Heavy-weights Saturn and Pluto may create obstacles to explorations from 8th – 13th via the demands of work, health and service to others.  Both planets go retrograde too towards the end of the month which means previous issues connected to one or more of these areas of life, need a second look.

From 20th the Sun highlights your father, career, social status and ambitions.  This happens every year around now.  But this year is different as the Sun immediately meets Uranus, planet of change, disruption and revolution from 20th – 22nd.  Uranus moved into this area of your chart last month for a seven-year stay.  And this is the first time it has been activated by the Sun which may give a taste of the awakening adventure to come!

Virgo:     Your ruling planet Mercury spends the first half of the month helping communications in relationships and partnerships.  Venus is helping here too until 20th and you could be swept away on a wave of rapture when Venus joins Neptune around 9th – 10^th!

New Moon on 5th falls in your joint funds, sharing and intimacy zone.  This could be a good chance to look afresh at joint accounts, taxes, debts and inheritances.  The Sun helps to shed light on these matters until 20th.  Mercury adds good ideas from 17th and Venus’s arrival from 20th could indicate that you could be the beneficiary of ‘the money of others’ or intimacy and sharing.

Jupiter goes retrograde in the mother and home area of your solar chart on 10th.  This is calling for a review of your base, either in terms of the physical building or the emotional dynamics within it.  And plans for a bigger or overseas home may have to wait.  Self-nurture comes into this too and if you have been over-nurturing yourself, this too can be brought back into balance.  Dealings with mothers and mother-figures may need reviewing too.

Meanwhile, Mars spends the whole month (and half of next) in your father, career and social status zone.  This boosts your energy and ambitions and makes you more forthright than usual in your dealings with people in authority.  This is no bad thing as Virgoans often put their own agenda on a back-boiler.  This is not a time to do so!  And if you happen to be a person of authority yourself, others will notice your determination to make things happen as they should!

Libra:     The Sun keeps relationships and partnerships warm and creative until 20th and communications should be good too from 17th when Mercury enters this field.  The demands of mother and home may run contrary to your desires but this is only from 8th – 13th.  New Moon on 5th also falls in this area of your solar chart, offering a fresh start or new phase in your relationships and partnerships.  And Venus’s arrival in your opposite sign from 20th, points towards this being a harmonious time.

Your ruling planet Venus spends most of the month in your work, health and service to others zone.  This is good for relations with colleagues and daily companions (including pets).  Your daily routine and tending yourself physically can be pleasurable too and general well-being should be high.

Mars is freshly in your 9th House of travel, exploring and ethical matters.  You may be feeling more adventurous and find yourself being more forthright about your beliefs and cultural views.  Your roots and foundations are also undergoing a deep change and you may start to hear the rumblings of this , more loudly this month.

Full Moon on 19th is in Libra, for the second month running.  This offers you a second chance in some way.  Be alert to what this may be and be ready to seize your opportunities this time!

Scorpio:     Romance, children and creativity start the month off sweetly with Venus providing harmony until 20th and Neptune adding ideals around 9th – 10th.  Communications should be good too as Mercury lightly steps through until 17th.

Meanwhile, your mind is operating at depth as Saturn and Pluto move closer together in your 3rd House of communications.  These are heavy-weights which also move retrograde this month, indicating old ground needs to be recovered.  This could be suppressed memories or re-examining fundamental thought patterns.  And getting he support of a counsellor or therapist is helpful here.

Work, health and service to others looks good as the Sun keeps creativity going until 20th and Mercury and Venus keep communications and relations open, once it leaves.  New Moon on 5th falls here too which h is the perfect time to start a new regime!  Changes to your daily routine can be helpful too.

From 20th the Sun warms up your relationships and partnerships zone. This gets enlivened even more when it joins Uranus from 20th – 22nd.  This is just the start of your seven-year awakening.  Enjoy!

Sagittarius:     New Moon on 5th marks a fresh start in romance, children or creativity.  The Sun keeps things warm too until 20th and then Venus takes over on the same day, bringing harmony and pleasure too.

Your ruling planet Jupiter goes retrograde on 10th in your sign.  This is an opportunity to look again at your personal growth, expansion and opportunities and choices that you have made (or avoided) since late January.  If over stretching yourself or making promises you cannot deliver has been a problem, this could be a helpful period of catching up with yourself.  This review continues up to mid-August and then you have until early-November to get yourself fully back on track.

Your finances are under review too as heavy-weights Pluto and Saturn go retrograde towards the end of the month (24th and 30th respectively).  Pluto can indicate compulsive attitudes or actions around money and security or deep changes to your value system that now needs to be recognised and reflected in your use of money.  And Saturn sometimes brings a sense of austerity or responsibility.  Do your finances now reflect your changing values?  You have until next February to make any necessary adjustments.

Mars spends the entire month in your 7th House of relationships and partnerships.  This adds energy and heats things up.  Whether this comes out as passion or conflict, is largely in your hands…

Capricorn:     You may find yourself with the gift of the gab as the month starts, with Mercury and Neptune lending you a poetic turn of phrase.  Venus nearby helps you to charm others with winning words too.

Meanwhile, Saturn and Pluto are moving closer together in your sign which is a gathering of seriousness and intensity.  Despite your pleasing words, your internal transformation is continuing at depth.  These two layers also go retrograde this month which means some ground already covered, will have to be re-assessed in some way.  You have until February to get back on track.

Mother and home are a focus this month too with the Sun and then Venus keeping things warm and creative.  New Moon on 5th falls here too which is a good point for spring-cleaning, redecorating or taking a fresh look at your domestic environment in some way.  Once Venus moves in from 20th you may want to share the pleasures of your home with others and will enjoy entertaining or having visitors.

At the end of last month, Mars jumped into your 6th House of work, health and service to others, for a six-week stay.  This is the perfect time to start a new health regime and make changes to your daily routine and perhaps look for a new job if you are unhappy with your present daily reality.  Mars brings energy, enthusiasm and determination, so make the most of its stay!

Aquarius:     Your finances look interesting this month as Venus gives a rosier glow until 20th but Neptune, also in your finance zone, can give an unclear picture.  So bear in mind your situation is fluid rather than solid.

New Moon on 5th falls in your communications zone.  This is a good time for trading, putting new ideas into action, making short journeys or starting a new class.  New forms of physical movement, photography, music, languages, painting and writing could be good outlets too.

Mars spends all month in your 5th House of romance, children and creativity.  This provides energy, enthusiasm and determination to any project you undertake connected to these.

From 20th the Sun moves into your mother and home zone and meets your ruling planet Uranus from 20th – 22nd.  This will be the first trigger to activate Uranus’s potential for.change, disruption and revolution and may give you a taste of the awakening to come over the coming seven years.

Pisces:       Finances are high on your agenda as the month kicks off.  And a new strand of income could come into view with the New Moon in your finance zone on 5th.  Failing that, this is the perfect time to draw up a new budget.  And possibly one that is more closely in line with your values.  Venus is in your finance zone too from 20th which usually adds a rosy glow.

Prior to that, Venus is in your own sign, making you darling of the zodiac for the rest of the month.  Others will be attracted to you.  And your glamour will be at its highest around 9th – 10th when it joins your ruling planet Neptune.

Mars in your 4th House makes you active on the home front all month.  You will have energy to push DIY and home-improvement projects forwards, apart from 7th – 9th  Dealings with mother-figures could be ‘lively’ too.

Jupiter goes retrograde on 10th in your father, career and social status zone.  This indicates the need to review recent expansion and where true growth lies.  You have until mid-August to fathom this out and until early-November to get things back on track.

Friends, groups and community need to undergo an even longer review too, starting on 24th.  Who do you truly want to commune with?  This may be more important than you realise.

Aries:     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 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 biggest shift this month is Uranus’s jump from your sign on 6th.  Uranus has been in Aries for over eight years, calling for the true, uncompromised  you to reveal itself.  With that now hopefully in place, the next step is to revolutionize your finances and values to reflect this new you.  You have just over seven years to bring this about, starting from 6th!

Time spent communicating with friends, groups and community goes well until 26th with Venus promising harmony and pleasure, apart from a short hiccough around 21st when your finances or values might clash with theirs.

The daily focus this month though is your 12th House of your inner workings, compassion, the pain and suffering of others, spirituality and creativity behind the scenes.  Amidst an action-packed life, it can be easy to over-look the nascent buds forming here.  Give them your time, nurture and attention.  New Moon on 6th marks the start of a new cycle here and with Neptune on board, ideals will be high.  How can you make them into an active force?

Taurus:     Friends, groups, communities, organisations and humanitarian ideals are a busy area this month, although not all in a straight forwards way.  Mercury goes retrograde here from 5th – 28th which can make for misunderstandings or people having to give back word on earlier agreements (possibly including you).

New Moon on the afternoon of 6th marks your collective Humanitarian New Year.  Neptune close by makes this even more potent.  Your ideals about friendship and community will be strong.  And your vision can help humanitarian causes, organisations, friends, groups and communities.  Perhaps joining others can help you to further your vision of a better world

Your ruling planet Venus is gliding through your professional zone until 26th.  You will be making a good impression but remember to stay flexible around 21st when the urge to dig your heels in may not be helpful.  People in authority are in a position to help you with your ambitions.  Ask them to do so.

You will not be easily thwarted at present, as Mars in your sign is adding to your energy and determination until 30th.  The major shift this month though is Uranus, planet of change, disruption and revolution, moving into your sign on 6th for a seven-year stay.  Remember just where and who you are today because at the end of this awakening process, you may not recognise yourself.

It is time to reach for the true uncompromising version of yourself.  And for this to happen, you may have to let go of many things (and perhaps unhelpful people) you now cling to.  There is no room for baggage on this adventure.  Let it go!

Gemini:     Your ruling planet Mercury cannot make its mind up this month, as it goes backwards and forwards in your father, career and social status zone.  Communications here need reviewing, as might your way of thinking about one or more of these areas of life.  Although Mercury is retrograde from 5th – 28th, the Sun helps to compensate, bringing warmth and visibility to you.  New Moon on 6th is particularly relevant as it joins Neptune, adding ideals to your worldly ambitions.  Make sure they have achievable content.

Uranus finishes its seven-year stay in your friends, groups and community zone this month.  The circles you move in may have changed during this time and some people, even old friends, may have fallen by the wayside.  This has been a period of being true to yourself.  And being selective about who you choose to have around you, has been an important part of this process.

From 6th, Uranus changes its revolutionary focus to the compassionate, spiritual and creative sides of your inner world.  This can be a good time to delve deeper and bring unconscious emotional or behavioural patterns to light.  Getting help from a therapist can be very helpful.  And spiritual practices (including meditation) and working with the unconscious can offer important new awakenings.

Venus spends most of the month in your travel, legal and philosophy zone which is good for trips and dealings with people from different countries and cultures.  There may be a touch of friction around 21st when your unconscious gets in the way.  But by 26th Venus starts to smooth things out around your worldly achievements and status.  If there are people who can help with this – ask them.

Cancer:     ‘The money of others’ may benefit you this month as Venus eases joint finances.  Tax rebates, returned loans or inheritances may come your way.  The only thing to look out for is any spend-thrift tendencies that crop up but even they could be pleasurable.

Your most active area this month is your 9th House of travel, deep study and ethical matters.  New Moon on 6th falls here, close to Neptune and a new idealistic resolve may carry you to make plans for dream trips, courses of study or cultural explorations.  People who you meet from other countries or cultures could inspire you and Venus’s arrival in this area of your solar chart from 26th brings pleasure and possibly romance too.

The only fly in the ointment is that Mercury, planet of communication is retrograde from 5th – 28th which could foster misunderstandings.  Double check everyone is on the same page re agreements, legal matters and trip itineraries or even wait until after 28th to go ahead if you can.

Mars continues to add heat to your friends, groups and community zone.  This could either take the form of action or conflict (opt of course for the former).  And if you are involved in any humanitarian projects, your energy and determination will be high.

Uranus, planet of change, disruption and revolution leaps into this area of your solar chart too from 6th, for a seven-year stay.  Having just completed its long revolution in your father, career and social status zone, it is now time for a new awakening through or with friends, groups, community and humanitarian ideals. If you have been sitting on the fence with regards to one or more of these areas of life, you will soon find yourself leaping off it and making revolutionary changes.  Be open to new collectives!

Leo:     Joint funds, intimacy and sharing are very busy areas in your solar chart this month with an idealistic, New Moon there on 6th.  Neptune sends emotions to a higher octave but beware of putting others on a pedestal.  Mercury goes retrograde in this same area of your chart from 5th – 28th, so keeping things clear in your own head is not the easiest of things, not to mention how others may read your actions or words.  Keep checking that no-one is being misled (even if it seems they want to be…).

Relationships and partnerships should go smoothly for most of the month as Venus promises ease and pleasure up to 26th, although career priorities may clash with togetherness around 21st.  Deep rumblings in your work, health and service to others zone may start to be felt from mid-month.  But  the demands for change may not fully surface until January.

Mars is heating and sharpening your ambitions all month, providing you with the energy, will-power and resolve to push your professional agenda forwards.  And an even huger, monumental shift takes place in this same area of your solar chart when Uranus, planet of change, disruption and revolution bolts into the picture from 6th.

Although Uranus is symbolised by lightening, this is no flash in the pan.  Uranus is going to be in your 10th House for over a seven-year stay.  What to expect?  A revolution in one or more matters to do with father, career and social status.  Be open to this exciting adventure of awakening!

Virgo:     So much is going on in your 7th House of relationships and partnerships this month.  Four planets are buzzing around there, including your ruling planet Mercury.  The Sun keeps things warm and expressive until 20th, although Mercury going retrograde from 5th – 28th might create some confusion.  Check everyone is on the same page, to avoid misunderstandings.

New Moon on 6th is very close to Neptune and marks the start of a new cycle in your relationships and partnerships.  And with Neptune involved, ideals will be strong but avoid rescue scenarios and self-denial.  Venus adds pleasure and harmony to partnerships from 26th.  You will be aware of the attractiveness of others and vice versa…

Mars is keen to explore the wide world and you will be pushing ahead with projects to do with travel, religion, different cultures and philosophies.  If you have a head for deep study, this could be exciting too.  Self-discipline will be strong from 10th – 14th and your willpower will be running on all four cylinders from 17th – 20th.

Mars only ever stays in any sign for a while to push things forwards but from 6th, Uranus moves into this same philosophical area of your chart for seven years!  As the planet of change, disruption and revolution, you will be called to be true to your beliefs, without compromise.  Travel, whether physical or meta-physical can be life-changing, as can exploration of cultures, including your own.

Libra:     Romance, fun and creativity are on the cards for most of the month (from 1st – 26th) as your ruling planet Venus glides smoothly through your pleasure zone, with just a touch of tension around 21st when Venus squares Mars.

The planet of love then goes on to ease matters in the busiest area of your solar chart this month: your 6th House of work, health and service to others.  Things are pretty busy here all month.  Mercury, planet of communication goes retrograde from 5th – 28th (try to avoid signing work contracts then if you can).

There is a spectacular New Moon here on 6th that includes nearby Neptune.  And an idealistic fresh start is on offer.  This could involve exploring your ideal work situation or how you can help others and work better with colleagues and daily companions (including pets).  Your health and well-being are another avenue to explore.  This could include nutrition, your daily routine and how they could nourish you better.

Uranus, planet of change, disruption and revolution finally leaves your relationships and partnerships zone on 6th, completing its eight-year stay.  You hopefully now have a less-compromised approach towards them and things probably stand very differently to how they did back in 2010 when this learning process began.

Your new area for awakening is joint funds (including taxes, debts and inheritances) intimacy and sharing.  Revolutionising one or more of these is your next seven-year adventure!

Scorpio:     Romance, children and creativity are high on the agenda this month, especially around New Moon on 6th when Neptune adds its dreamy glow to the two ‘lights’ and mystifies the picture too.  Falling in love is not out of the question, nor is wondrous creative inspiration.

Actual communications may not be at their best when Mercury goes retrograde from 5th – 28th but you will probably not be concerned with the nuts and bolts of daily life, with this rare tide sweeping you along.  Not misleading others is quite important though, so make sure they are reading you correctly.  Home is looking good too up to 26th, with Venus urging you to beautify your nest or to share its pleasures with others, perhaps by entertaining.

From mid-month onwards, Saturn joins your ruling planet Pluto.  This is the slow beginning of a long review, looking at your need for transformation.  This is in your 3rd House which rules thought patterns, how you communicate ideas and physically move and your daily dealings with others.

Learning and teaching skills come under this umbrella too.  As do trading, short journeys and dealings with neighbours and siblings.  This first step is taking stock of how you have been dealing with things in the past, until now.

An even larger planetary event this month is Uranus moving into Taurus.  Having just completed an eight-year revolution through work, health and service to others; Uranus now starts a seven-year awakening in relationships and partnerships.  Be open to learning new things.

Sagittarius:       Your mind is in a pleasant place this month, as Venus glides through your 3^rd House of communications, short journeys and physical movement.  But the main focus though is mother and home, with an important New Moon here, late afternoon on 6th.  This falls less than one degree away from Neptune, adding idealism to this new cycle.

Home can be the building you live in, the dynamics within it, your town, geographical area, country, the planet or Mother Nature.  You will feel the need for a fresh start or a more creative, humanitarian or ethical approach in some way.  And your emotional well-being is somehow linked to this.

Explaining this to others (and possibly to yourself) may be beyond you right now, as Mercury is retrograde from 5th – 28th.  But Venus’s arrival on 26th will help you to get others on board.

You should have lots of energy for work and attending to your health this month, as Mars revs up your pursuit of well-being.  Dealings with colleagues and daily companions look energetic too.  Steer these away from conflict by engaging others in joint projects if you can.

The biggest shift this month though is Uranus which ends its eight-year stay in your romance, children and creativity zone.  This may have been a disruptive time for children connected to you.  They are now hopefully living closer to their true drum which should make life easier for you too.  It may have been an exciting time creatively or romantically for you too.

Uranus’s new area for awakening from 6th and for the next seven years, is work, health, service to others, daily routine and daily companions (including colleagues, housemates and pets).  Your life and well-being can be reolutionised through major changes in these areas of life and you can also become an agent of revolution to others.  Be open to new forms of well-being!

Capricorn:     Money matters should run smoothly this month, as Venus glides through your finance zone until 26th.  It then joins Mercury and Neptune in your busiest area of life this month: communications.  New Moon on 6th falls here too, marking a new cycle.

Neptune happens to be close by too which adds idealism to this fresh start.  Ironically Mercury, planet of communication is retrograde from 5th – 28th, so others may not be able to fathom out what exactly you are up to.  But all should become apparent by next month.  Meanwhile, creative writing, music and creative flow should go well.

A deep and possibly invisible-to-others, process is going on too from mid-month onwards.  Your ruling planet Saturn starts its slow approach towards Pluto in your sign.  This is the crunch in some way and crystallises the need for deep inner transformation.  This has been on the cards ever since Pluto entered your sign back in 2008.  Saturn will want to know how you have been dealing with this and at some point (probably next January), it will be expecting to see some results.

Mars continues to reinforce your determination in matters to do with romance, children and creativity.  Uranus, planet of change, disruption and revolution leaps into this area of your solar chart too from 6th, for a seven-year stay.  This should bring surprises and perhaps excitement.  If you’ve been compromising in some way in any of these areas, you will be challenged to discover and express the true, pure expression of your unique self.  Accept this new adventure!

Aquarius:     Your financial world looks very busy this month but clarity may be hard to find.  New Moon on 6th would normally mark the perfect time to draw up a budget but a Neptunian mist is in the way.  On the plus side, this adds an idealistic urge but whether that is a thirst for mega-bucks, investing ethically or giving all your money to a worthy cause; is hard to tell.

Mercury goes retrograde in your finance zone from 5th – 28th which also indicates comings and goings.  And it might be better to avoid signing any important papers during that period if possible.

Home life is looking active all month as Mars continues to forge ahead here.  Domestic, DIY or self-development projects can be pushed forwards.  And your ruling planet Uranus makes a monumental shift on 6th, also into your mother and home zone.  This is the start of a seven-year awakening which will shake your foundations.  Revolution is required and you may find yourself moving house, having unexpected dealings with mother-figures or taking a different new approach to self-nurture.

A few immediate questions that spring to mind are: Does your present home meet your current needs?  (This could be in terms of space, design, location or the emotional dynamics within).  Do relations with mother-figures need a new approach?  (Including how you think about your own upbringing).  And are you meeting your own needs for nurturing and personal development?

And last but not least, Venus is gliding through your sign all month which adds extra charm and irresistibility to your persona.  Yes, it is your turn to be darling of the zodiac.  Enjoy it!

Pisces:     The Sun ball remains in your court this month until 20th, radiating warmth, optimism and freer self-expression.  Mercury lends you mental energy too until 5th and once again after 28th.  But in between it goes retrograde, to review communications and your thought processes.  Have they been working for or against you?  Get your mind on your side.  If not sure where to start, positive daily affirmations can be helpful.

New Moon in your sign on 6th marks the beginning of your Personal New Year.  It is also extra-strong as this New Moon is less than half a degree away from your ruling planet Neptune which enhances your vision of a fresh start, in line with your values and dreams.  Make resolutions that will support these in the month and year ahead!

Your mental energy remains high this month, as Mars continues to make headway here.  This can be good for physical movement too and trading projects.  You may be more assertive than usual (and yes, that could mean more argumentative… ).

Uranus leaps into your communications zone too from 6th for a seven-year stay!  Old ways of thinking may need to go and trying new forms of physical movement can open new neural pathways, so give that a go too!  Dealings with neighbours and siblings may undergo big changes; as may the circles you move in.  New ways of thinking will need new people who share them.  Find your tribe!

Aries:   The month starts with a bang as your ruling planet Mars squares Pluto.  You may find yourself at odds with authority figures.  Or if you are the authority, you may find others challenging you.  No one is likely to bend and each will resist any show of power by the other.  Deal with this as best you can. Authority figures continue to feature throughout the month, sometimes helpful and sometimes not.

Mars continues to forge ahead in your sign, adding to your grit and determination and propelling you ever forward until mid-month.  And from 10^th – 13^th Mars meets up with Uranus, urging you to do your own thing in your own way.  The raw, uncompromised core of yourself can achieve the unexpected and surprise us all.  This is not a time for pleasing others.  Do what you must do.  Be who you must be.  Do not compromise!

New Moon on 4^th opens a fresh chapter in your friends, groups and communal life.  Have you thought about joining or starting a group or humanitarian project?  This is a good point to do so.

From 14^th Mars will be in your 2^nd House and you will be pouring your energy into building up money reserves, acquiring possessions and you will want to take action with regards to security, values and self-esteem.  You have the raw energy to get a second income or a new project off of the ground.  And others would be advised to keep out of your way!

Chiron moves into Aries on 18^th for a long stay.  This opens up a seven-year period when you have the possibility to heal old wounds to your identity in some way.  Take the possibility and make it a reality.

Taurus:     New Moon on 4^th marks the start of your Professional New Year.  Make resolutions that will help to generate whatever you hope to find in your career and social standing in the month and year ahead.

Your ruling planet Venus has an eventful month ahead too.  From 3^rd it is in your 9^th House which usually smooths out travel, philosophical and ethical matters but this month it has encounters with three heavy-weights.  The first is a meeting with Saturn around 16^th – 18^th when duty calls.  Though this can result in a commitment or a product if you have been working creatively.

Pluto is close behind from 22^nd – 23^rd.  This brings about intensity either through a creative process or an intense attraction (even obsession) towards a desirable someone.

And then Venus squares Uranus from 27^th – 28^th which shakes up any pre-conceived ideas around relationships, creativity and values.  If you have been compromising in some way, here is a challenge to be true to yourself, starting now!

On 14^th, Mars leaps into your sign adding extra dynamism and determination to your creative self-expression.  Any projects that need an extra thrust, will benefit from this fresh turbo charge.  The bull has got loose.  Others beware!

Gemini:     There are many bumps and starts in your joint funds this month.  Venus which graces this area of your solar chart usually helps things along here but it runs into Saturn from 16^th – 18^th which may draw things to a thought-provoking halt.

Joint funds includes taxes, debts and inheritances.  ‘The money of others’, sharing and intimacy are also included.  This Venus-Saturn aspect from can generate fears of loss or separation and commitments are sometimes taken on, in response to this.  Venus then joins Pluto from 22^nd – 23^rd and power issues or fatal attraction get added to the mix too…

Mars continues to liven up your dealings with friends, groups and community.  Surprises could come too as it finishes its stay in an encounter with Uranus – calling for the pure uncompromised version of who you truly are, to express itself here.  Do you need to change the terms of a friendship or perhaps join or leave a group?

From 18^th the Sun is illuminating your father, career and social status zone.  Chiron (planet of wounding and healing) leaves here too after an eight-year stay.  With lessons hopefully learned and healing hopefully in place, you can now go into the world as a more integrated human being.  Your new area for healing is friendships, groups, community and humanitarian ideals.

Cancer:     New Moon on 4^th (at 21.05 GMT) is in Aquarius and marks the start of a new cycle to do with joint funds, sharing and intimacy.  This includes taxes, debts and inheritances.  Mercury helps with ideas and communications until 10^th too.

Mars helps you to forge ahead with your ambitions until 14^th and may cause quite a stir when it joins forces with Uranus from 10^th – 13^th.  If anyone imagines you are a pushover, they will quickly learn otherwise.  You will not tolerate shows of authority from anyone.  This is not a time for compromise.  Be true to yourself.

From 14^th Mars livens up your experiences with friends, groups and community.  You will have energy to offer here and your determination can help group projects, humanitarian ideals or a friend in need.  Collective goals will be the sweetest.

Relationships and partnerships continue to be the hot potato as Venus runs into Saturn around 16^th – 18^th.  This could result in restrictions or a commitment of some kind.  And when Venus reaches Pluto from 22^nd – 23^rd powerful feelings come to the fore.  This may be around power patterns in your relationships or an intense attraction to someone (possibly to someone you know might not be good for you).  But when Venus squares Uranus from 27^th – 28^th you will insist on freedom to do whatever you like.  Unexpected attractions may crop up then too!

Leo:     New Moon on 4^th falls in your relationships and partnerships zone.  It may be time to turn over a new leaf here either in an existing relationship or by finding a new one.  Make resolutions that will help you to meet your emotional needs in the month and year ahead.  Mercury and the Sun add energy and thought to this process until 10^th and 18^th respectively.

Work, health and service to others are a big focus this month.  There will be demands on your patience and things could get intense but there can be creative outcomes.  Actual products could be the result of a Venus-Saturn meet-up from 16^th – 18^th.  And observe powerful dynamics around 22^nd – 23^rd with work colleagues or daily companions.  You could learn something helpful about your patterns of relating.  An intense attraction to a colleague is another possibility…

During the first half of the month Mars is forging ahead in your 9^th House of exploration.  This gives energy for travel, studies, legal matters and publishing (including the internet).  And from 10^th – 13^th Mars joins Uranus, pushing for pure uncompromised expression.

On 14^th Mars jumps into your professional zone.  This puts you in the driving seat, determined to push your career and ambitions forward.  Dealings with father or authority figures could be heated.  If you happen to be one yourself, use your influence well.

Virgo:     It may be time for a new job or health routine as New Moon on 4^th (at 21.05 GMT) flags up an opportunity for a fresh start.  Your ruling planet Mercury is on board too until 10^th, providing ideas and willingness to be more physically active or open-minded.  What you include in your daily routine (and when) makes a big difference to your sense of wellbeing.  Experiment to see what works best for you.  It may be time to consider or start a new line of work too.

Your romance, children and creativity zone is also fully occupied this month as Venus tries to glide through but not without incident.  From 16^th – 18^th it runs into Saturn which carries a serious note.  This can also result in a concrete product of some kind if you are active, creatively.

Venus then runs into Pluto from 22^nd – 23^rd when powerful feelings (and perhaps actions) may emerge.  These can be realisations around power patterns in your relationships or an obsessive fascination with a certain someone.  These are passing transits but learn what you can about yourself from them.

Mars spends the first half of the month in your joint funds, sharing and intimacy zone, urging you to sort out debts, loans, taxes and inheritances.  Compromise will not be on the cards from 10^th – 13^th when Mars meets Uranus and you must be true to your inner self.  Then from 14^th Mars revs up your appetite and energy for travel, deep study, philosophy and ethical or legal matters.

Then from 18^th, your attention turns to relationships and partnerships.  Chiron has hopefully been attending to old wounds here over the past eight years.  It is replaced by the Sun on the same day.  And your new area for healing is joint funds (including joint accounts, taxes, debts and inheritances), intimacy and sharing.

Libra:     Your ruling planet Venus loves harmony and a tranquil time but this month is not likely to provide that.  From 3^rd it is in your 4^th House of mother and home which usually helps to smooth out domestic matters, self-nurture and dealings with mother figures but this month is looking very eventful.  Venus’s first encounter is with Saturn around 16^th – 18^th when duty calls.  Hard work may be called for: be that practical or emotional obstacles in the home.

Pluto is close behind from 22^nd – 23^rd.  This brings about an intense desire for transformation in or of the home.  Watch out for power plays.  This could also symbolically be a deep desire to work on your personal development.  Be open to this possibility too.

Then Venus squares Uranus from 27^th – 28^th which shakes up any pre-conceived ideas around relationships, partnerships, creativity and values.  If you have been compromising in some way, here is a challenge to be true to yourself, starting now!

Mars continues to heat your relationships and partnerships zone until 14^th with a big rebellious jolt around 10^th – 13^th.  It then leaps into your 8^th House of joint funds, intimacy and sharing.  This includes taxes, debts, joint accounts and inheritances.  Do you need to take action in one of these areas?  Mars will help you to press forwards.

Scorpio:     It may be time to turn over a new leaf at home as New Moon on 4^th marks the start of your Domestic New Year.  Make resolutions and plans that will help you to achieve a home that supports you.  Personal development also comes into this.  Are there any courses that would benefit you?  The Sun and Mercury lend energy and thought to this process too.

Finances continue to look good, especially up to 3^rd.  Then Venus glides into your communications zone.  This is a busy area this month and not without challenges.  When Venus meets Saturn around 16^th – 18^th, your mind will be serious.  Give time and attention to how you are relating to others in your daily life.  If a letter needs writing or a creative project working on, you could come up with a concrete result.

Venus meets your ruling planet Pluto around 22^nd – 23^rd and the issue of power in relationships presents itself, along with the power of thought and the power of words.  Is your self-talk doing a helpful job?  Venus and Pluto can also take the form of obsessive attraction…  This could be a good time to examine your emotional patterns.

Uranus is on its last lap shaking up your work, health and service to others zone and Mars joins it from 10^th – 13^th.  This is a call for change and doing your own thing, in the way you want to do it.  Changes to your diet, exercise and daily routine are up for experimentation.  Then from 14^th, Mars leaps into your opposite sign of relationships and partnerships, bringing heat and energy.  Will you direct that towards conflict or passion?

Sagittarius:     Venus spends the first few days of the month in your sign.  Enjoy your popularity.  But from 3^rd onwards it is doing its best to smooth out your financial wrinkles.  This is not all plain sailing as Saturn gets in the way from 16^th – 18^th, followed by Pluto from 22^nd – 23^rd and Uranus from 27^th – 28^th.  These could signify delays, power plays and sudden changes.  Keep a calm head regardless.

New Moon on 4^th falls in your communications zone.  If you have been considering taking or teaching a new course, a new exercise or dance regime or a written or spoken project; now is a good time to start.  Singing looks good too!  A new approach to relations with siblings and neighbours can also be timely.

Mars completes its run through your romance, children and creativity zone until 14^th then it leaps into your 6^th House of work, health and service to others.  This is another indicator that it is time to start a new regime or job search if you are unhappy in your work.  Your daily routine as well as diet can benefit from a clean sweep and daily companions may notice you being more ‘feisty’ than usual…

Chiron, planet of wounding and healing, finishes its eight-year stay in your mother and home zone and from 18^th moves on to heal wounds around romance, children and creativity for the next seven years.

Mercury zips through your mother and home zone from 10^th and the Sun joins it from 18^th.  This will provide new ideas about your home and you may find yourself moving furniture around or ringing in the changes in some way.  And when Neptune throws in an idealistic mist on 18^th – 19^th, make sure you have been understood by mother-figures and housemates.  Navigate with your antennae.

Capricorn:     You have an eventful month ahead as Venus glides through your sign from 3^rd but not without incident.  Its first encounter is with Saturn around 16^th – 18^th when fears of loss or separation might colour your mood and even your decisions.  Sit this out though.  It is a passing transit and fear-based decisions rarely turn out to be the best ones.

Venus then runs into Pluto around 22^nd – 23^rd and the power balance in your relationships may become apparent.  The person you are mainly tussling with this month: is yourself!  Deal with this as honestly and as best as you can.  Self-awareness is 90% of the battle.

New Moon on 4^th (at 21.05 GMT) is in your money and security zone.  This is a perfect time to draw up a new budget or financial plan for the year ahead.  It is also an opportunity to look afresh at non-material ways that offer a sense of security.  This can be through a philosophy or through creativity.

Around 10^th – 14^th Mars joins Uranus and ends its stay in your mother and home zone in an unexpected way.  You will want to do your own thing, in your own way and others may just have to adjust to that this time.  Self-nurture, personal development and dealings with mother figures come into this too.

From 14^th Mars brings energy to your romance, children and creativity zone.  Time to get the show on the road!

Aquarius:     The Sun ball remains in your court this month until 18^th radiating warmth, optimism and freer self-expression.  New Moon on 4^th (at 21.05 GMT) is also in Aquarius.  The world is looking fresh and new.  Many Happy Lunar Returns!  This marks the start of your Personal New Year.  Make resolutions that will help to generate whatever is needed to meet your emotional needs in the month and year ahead.

Your 12^th House of spirituality and creativity behind the scenes is very active this month.  Your compassion will be heightened and you will be especially sensitive to the pain and suffering of others.  There can be creative products from your understanding and imagination too.  Dreams and visions could be informative, as could the internet.  Pay attention to your self-talk too and keep it positive.

Communications and movement in the physical world are also high-lighted this month with a burst of revolutionary thought or movement on offer around 10^th – 13^th!  Express yourself in your pure uncompromised way.  (Keep dance in mind as an outlet for expression too!)

On 14^th Mars leaps into your mother and home zone.  Any DIY or home improvement projects will benefit from this burst of energy.  Self nurture and personal development are areas to take action on too.  Dealings with mother-figures could be energetic…  Make them fair and productive too!

Pisces:     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 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.

Mars completes its energetic stay in your finance and security zone in a surprising flash, as it joins forces with Uranus from 10^th – 13^th.  This brings up raw, primal energy that urges you to be completely true to your values.  Compromise is not an option right now.  This could be to do with how (or how not) you are willing to generate an income and what money should (or should not) be spent on.

From 14^th Mars livens up communications and physical movement.  This could be good for writing, dancing and your day to day communications.  Add self-talk to your list of priorities and be sure to keep it positive!

On 18^th Chiron completes its eight-year stay in your sign.  This has been an opportunity for healing old wounds around identity.  Its next area to work on over the next seven years is money, possessions, security, values and self-esteem.  Time to heal old wounds here now.

Aries:     You have a dynamic start to 2019 as your ruling planet Mars leaps into Aries on 1^st (at 02.21 GMT).  This is your favourite kind of fuel.  And whatever goes onto your to-do list will not stay there long, as you amaze us all with your energy and decisiveness!  Mars continues to propel you forwards until mid-Feb.  Many people’s New Year’s Resolutions may get forgotten but not yours!

Venus and Mars team up from 16^th – 18^th which is good for creativity and romance.  It may not be all plain-sailing after that however as Mars squares Saturn from 18^th – 21^st.  This could put obstacles in your path, causing you to question your approach…  Jupiter reassures you however from 20^th – 25^th.  And power struggles (or battles) may crop up from 29^th when Mars squares Pluto.  Be high-minded in all of your actions, even when others are not.

New Moon on 6^th marks the start of your Professional New Year – a good time to draw up plans for the next phase of your career or social status ambitions.  These matters are also emphasized around 10^th – 11^th when the Sun and Pluto join forces at the top of your solar chart.  Authority figures could feature big style, as could you, if you happen to be one yourself.  Power of course should be used for the good of the many, so be alert for egos on the prowl (including your own).  Play your cards cleanly and big creative transformation could be yours.

Taurus:     The solar eclipse and New Moon on 6^th are in your travel, study and ethical zone and falls between the two heavy-weights of Saturn and Pluto.  This marks a new cycle in one or more of these areas of life in some way.  Publishing could come into this, as could legal matters and dealings with in-laws or people from different cultures.

Your ruling planet Venus helps relationships and partnerships along for the first six days of the month.  It then changes sign on 7^th when it glides into your joint funds, sharing and intimacy zone.  And when Venus catches up with Jupiter on the weekend of 18^th – 20^th, you could benefit from sharing and also ‘the money of others’ or even find yourself unexpectedly in someone’s arms or they could find themselves unexpectedly in yours…

You will be busy with the world this month as all of the planets are positioned above the horizon for you.  You will be actively thinking about your career, father figures or social status from 5^th – 24^th and new ideas could take you by surprise here.  Consider new forms of public communication too.

During all of this busy-ness your unconscious is actively rumbling away.  Pay attention to your dreams, self-talk and make time for creativity behind the scenes if you can.  Your imagination is rich and ready to take new form too.  Help it to happen!

Gemini:     Your ruling planet Mercury is moving fast and zips through three different signs this month, bringing variety, variety, variety which is exactly how you like it.  Starting with your relationships and partnerships, it dances with a light tongue until 5^th when it cleverly flits into negotiations around joint finances, sharing and intimacy.  Although heavy matters cannot be side-stepped around 13^th, Mercury will manage pretty well until it skips into your travel, studies and legal zone from 24^th onwards.

Mars makes this a dynamic month too.  Leaping into Aries in the early hours of 1^st, you will find high energy in dealings with friends, groups and any communities you belong to.  You may be the energetic driving force behind this or others will energize you.

Uranus goes direct on 6^th in this same area of your solar chart, which adds to the full-speed-ahead nature of proceedings.  There may be a hold up when Saturn puts in a protest around 18^th – 21^st but this is just to help you adjust your approach before you continue.

Health and well-being are well-starred up until 6^th, then Venus brings harmony to relationships and partnerships.  There could also be pleasurable expansion around 18^th – 20^th when Venus joins joyful Jupiter in your opposite sign.  Stay open to partnership opportunities, whether personal or business!

Cancer:     Your ambitions start the year in bright-red mode as Mars leaps into action during the early hours of 1^st in your 10^th House of father, career and social status.  Any worldly ambitions that have been lurking, are ready for movement and you have even extra tenacity to follow them through.

Uranus goes direct in this same area of your chart on 6^th, resulting in all the planets moving forwards for two months clear.  Make the most of this positive run.  Uranus went retrograde in August to try redress matters that arose last April.  Compromise may have something to do with this, whether that was too much or not enough, at the time.  Uranus seeks the pure uncompromised version of yourself.  And hopefully you have re-found this

Relationships and partnerships remain a central focus with the Sun high-lighting this until 20^th.  New Moon on 6^th falls here too.  This marks the beginning of your Relational New Year.  Make resolutions that will help you to meet your emotional needs in these areas of life in the month and year ahead.

Venus brings pleasure on the romance, children and creativity front until 6^th.  It then glides into your 6^th House of work, health and service to others.  This is good for health and well-being.  You find pleasure in your daily rituals of self-care.  And when Venus catches up with Jupiter on the weekend of 18^th – 20^th, this is even stronger (as long as you do not over-indulge).  Relations with colleagues and daily companions are a real pleasure.  Pets feel like a life-enhancing blessing too.  And with Jupiter it might feel like the bigger (size or number) the better.  Spiritual practice could also enter your daily routine.  What form appeals to you most?

Leo:     Mars kicks the year off with a bolt of energy in your 9^th House of exploration.  This provides lots of energy to study the face of the earth (travel, different cultures and the great outdoors) or the metaphysical world and deep study of any subject.  Getting published could be one line of pursuit, as could sorting out legal or ethical matters.  You may come across obstacles around 18^th – 21^st when Saturn throws a spanner into the works.  Review your approach and then from 22^nd continue to push ahead.

Uranus (the only planet going retrograde at the turn of the year) goes direct in this same area of your solar chart from 6^th with the very positive result of all the planets moving forwards for the next two months!  Uranus went retrograde to revisit events or possibilities that either did or did not take place last April.  With the benefit of hindsight, you may now know how to be truer to yourself.

Your ruling planet the Sun starts the month on a serious note as it joins Saturn on 1^st – 2^nd and then takes on a powerful charge as it meets Pluto on 10^th – 11^th.  Full Moon on 20^th/21^st in Leo brings up relationships and partnerships.  And the Sun’s arrival in your opposite sign on 20^th, makes these a conscious focus.

Your 5^th House of romance, children and creativity look sweet from 7^th when Venus glides in.  And things get even better on the weekend of 18^th – 20^th.  Allow good times to roll!

Virgo:     Your ruling planet Mercury is on the move this month, spanning three different signs.  Mentally busy as always, this month might find you mentally speeding.  Make sure you get plenty of exercise, rest and relaxation to balance this out.  The areas of thought most active are mother and home until 5^th, romance, children and creativity until 24^th and then work, health and service to others.

Mars is a new stick of dynamite in your joint funds, sharing and intimacy zone this month, starting on 1^st.  If there are matters to attend to (including taxes, debts and inheritances), see to them now.  Saturn may present obstacles around 18^th – 21^st for you to adjust your approach but this is only a temporary hiccough.

Uranus goes direct in this same area of your chart on 6^th and any compromises you made last April with respect to joint funds, sharing and intimacy, may now need to be ‘un-compromised’.  You have until late-April this year to make things right.

Venus helps communications to go well until 6^th.  It then glides into your 4^th House of mother, home, self-nurture and personal development.  You may find yourself wanting to beautify your home or entertain others there or take pleasure from dealings with mother-figures.  And when Venus reaches Jupiter on the weekend of 18^th – 20^th you will want to do things big style!

Libra:     Relationships and partnerships rev into gear on 1^st as Mars leaps into your opposite sign (at 02.21 GMT).  This indicates full speed ahead!  Mars can mean heat too, be that conflict or passion.  Around 16^th – 18^th a harmonious aspect between Venus and Mars, suggests the latter.  You may also feel creative around then.  And with Jupiter in the picture, it could be fun too!

The demands of mother and home keep you grounded though as there will be demands and responsibilities to meet, throughout the month and especially around 1^st – 2^nd, 10^th – 11^th at New Moon on 15^th and from 18^th – 21^st.

Uranus goes direct on 6^th, also in your relationships and partnerships zone.  Unresolved or mis-handled matters from last April have needed your attention.  You may have compromised too much then but hopefully self-awareness has since been claimed and carried forward.  You have until late April to fine-tune your findings.

Saturn slows Mars down around 18^th – 21^st but overall, from 7^th all the planets are moving forward and so can you!

Scorpio:     Venus remains in your sign for the first six days of the month, adding to your charms.  It then glides into your 2^nd House of money possessions, security and values and joyously joins Jupiter on the weekend of 18^th – 20^th.  This usually augurs well financially or spiritually, finding security through the non-material.

Mars kicks the month off leaping into your 6^th House of work, health, service to others and daily routine.  This gives cast-iron determination to take action.  And if any New Year’s Resolutions are linked to any of these areas of life, little will thwart you.  Uranus goes direct here too on 6^th and from 7^th it is full speed ahead.  Saturn challenges your progress around 18^th – 21^st.  Pause then to make any necessary adjustments and then carry on.

Your thoughts could present a challenge too from 29^th when Mars squares Pluto.  Side-step battles of will.  The challenge is to get your mind working positively.  You have two full months with all the planets moving forwards.  Make the most of them!

Your focus this month is mostly the inner world and not the outer.  Communications are a big focus, with the Sun highlighting seriousness on 1^st – 2^nd and then on the transformative power of thought and words around 10^th – 11^th when it meets up with your ruling planet Pluto.  There are many forms of communication that can be cathartic and also moving for others.  Explore the possibilities.  Physical movement and its ability to open up new neural pathways comes into this too.  New Moon and the solar eclipse on 6^th favour new forms of communication and groups.  Why not join one?

Mother, home and self-nurture are high-lighted towards the end of the month, with new ideas flashing through from 24^th and the Sun ready to run with them for a month from 20^th.  Again, new forms of movement are beneficial, changes in self-soothing, new ideas in the home and even re-arranging your personal space perhaps?

Sagittarius:     January 2019 is the kind of dashing, daring month that you thrive on.  The fiery leap of Mars in the early hours of 1^st into your romance, children and creativity zone is dynamic and exciting.  And others may see these same qualities in you too.  There is an even higher gear change on 6^th when Uranus goes direct in this same area of your chart.  Uranus has been revisiting something that was compromised in April.  This might be the time to uncompromise it…

Amidst all of this excitement, finances remain somber, especially around 1^st-2^nd and 10^th – 11^th.  New Moon on 6^th lands here too which could be an excellent time to draw up a budget or financial plans.

Despite the financial rumblings, your ruling planet Jupiter in your sign, keeps you optimistic and hopeful.  Venus glides into your sign too on 6^th and stays there for a month, making you popular darling of the zodiac for a month!  And when Venus reaches Jupiter on the weekend of 18^th – 20^th, with Saturn preventing Mars from pushing ahead for a few days, you might as well abandon yourself to pleasure and fun!

Capricorn:     The Sun ball remains in your court this month until 20^th radiating warmth, optimism and freer self-expression.  It starts the year on a serious note, conjunct your ruling planet Saturn on 1^st – 2^nd.  New Moon and a solar eclipse are in your sign too on 6^th.  This marks the beginning of your Personal New Year.  Make resolutions that will help you to create the right conditions to meet your emotional needs in the month and year ahead.

When the Sun joins up with Pluto in your sign around 10^th – 11^th, be aware of your own power and use it well.  Your magnetism and charisma will be high.  Use it for the greater good.

Meanwhile, Mars leaps into your mother and home zone from 1^st and forges ahead there for the next six weeks.  Uranus goes direct here too on 6^th, enabling you to make adjustments to whatever happened (or did not happen) last April.  Around 18^th – 21^st, the adjustment needed may be you…

Make time for friends, groups and community during the first six days of the month, as Venus brings pleasure.  Your unconscious then becomes its focus which is also good for relating to your inner-self.  Creativity behind the scenes is well-starred too, especially around the weekend of 18^th – 20^th.  Explore different spiritual practices or forms of creativity.

Aquarius:     Your ruling planet Uranus goes direct on 6^th after re-visiting old ground to do with communications, synaptic connections or old ways of thinking.  Something here needed looking at again.  And this could possibly be something linked to last April.  Having hopefully found an important nugget of information, you have until late-April to apply your newly-found knowledge.  Mars in the same area of your solar chart, will give you all the energy and determination that you need to do just that.

Uranus going direct, also marks the start of a two-month stretch when all the planets are (from our perspective) moving forwards: a positive, can-do time!  What would you like to achieve?

Energy levels may have been generally low before this started.  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 20^th.  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 1^st.  It is also the perfect time to explore your planets for the year ahead with a good astrologer.

Full Moon and the lunar eclipse are on 21^st is in your opposite sign, Leo.  This completes an up-beat weekend as Venus and Jupiter join forces in Sag which is a great time for enjoyment with friends, groups and your communities.

Pisces:     Finances start the month off on a dynamic note as Mars jumps into your 2^nd House of money, possessions, security and values in the early hours of the New Year.  And this means action!  Mars provides the energy and determination to get things off the ground.  It also offers the raw energy needed to make something happen from scratch, from just an idea.  Could that be a new source of income?

Uranus goes direct in this same area of your solar chart on 6^th which results in ALL the planets moving forwards for the next two months!  Make the most of this!  Uranus has been retrograde (appearing to move backwards) since October, in order to resolve something that missed the target last April.  With this new awareness hopefully under your belt, it is time to move forwards – without the compromises.

There is also a strong focus on your friends, groups, community and humanitarian ideals zone.  And the New Moon here on 6^th .marks the beginning of a new cycle in some way.  There are two heavy-weight planets here too but the Sun is shedding light on everything until 20^th.  Have you thought of starting or joining a group?

Venus glides into your 10^th House of father, career and social status from 7^th.  People in authority can be helpful.  If you need favours, ask them.  When Venus meets up with Jupiter on the weekend of 18^th – 20^th, expansion or carving out new opportunities for yourself are very possible too!  This is also the last full month of Chiron in your sign and a chance to heal old wounds and get unhelpful patterns out of your way.  Take this opportunity to make room for all of the others!

Aries:     Uranus continues to shake up your sign this month and from 1^st – 2^nd it opposes Venus, attracting partners who find you intriguing.  They may also of course, find you eccentric and unpredictable (and they may have a point) but this is just a passing aspect.

Venus spends the rest of the month smoothing your 8^th House of joint funds, intimacy and sharing and you may benefit from the money of others, be that through partners, loans, taxes or inheritances.  Mercury revisits this area too from 1^st – 12^th as part of its circular journey this month, trying to resolve issues from late-October.

Mercury goes on to broaden your outlook and world view when it meets Jupiter on 21^st.  This is wonderful for travel, deep studies, languages and an appreciation of the world and its many cultures.  The great outdoors may be a source of wonder too!

Your ruling planet Mars joins Neptune in your 12^th House of compassion, spirituality and the unconscious around 6^th – 7^th.  Your antennae will be sharp and you will want to address the collective needs that you pick up around then.  Pay attention to your dreams too, as they can be a source of inspiration and important inner information.  This is also excellent for therapy and creativity behind the scenes, as is 27^th – 30^th.

On 21^st the Sun joins Saturn and Pluto in your father, career and social status zone which marks the start of a month when you will want to push ahead with your ambitions.  Full Moon on 22^nd will want your attention on the home front too but your worldly focus and self-discipline get stronger and stronger as the year comes to an end.

Taurus:     Your ruling planet Venus starts the month in a quandry as Uranus zaps it from your unconscious.  This can have surprising effects connected to work, health and daily routine but it can also spark off a burst of original creativity.  This is only from 1^st – 2^nd so allow some time for creative inspiration to excite you.  Unexpected attractions could take you by surprise too…

Venus quickly moves on to your opposite sign and stays there all month, bringing pleasure and ease to relationships and partnerships.  Communications here are not straight forwards from 1^st – 6^th but misunderstandings can be sorted out from 6^th -12^th as Mercury completes its visit but in direct motion.  Try not to idealise someone too much though around 21^st when Neptune may sweep you away.  We are all mere humans, not perfect…

You have energy for friends, groups and community this month, although your efforts may feel futile around 6^th – 7^th.  You may also be able to address the old wounds of others or your own from 27^th – 30^th.  Take great care that you do not accidentally wound others around then too.

Mercury meets Jupiter on 21^st in your joint funds, intimacy and sharing zone.  This gives a wonderful and generous mindset.  Make a physical note of the possibilities that come to mind so that you do not forget them.  Your understanding of how resources should be used and shared is at its optimum and if you can spare some resources or skills of your own to make the world a better place: do so.

From 21^st the Sun joins Saturn and Pluto in the travel, deep study, ethics, philosophy and publishing area of your solar chart.  There are no lucky breaks here but many things are possible if you put in the hard work!

Gemini:     There could be some romantic excitement at the start of the month as Venus opposes Uranus on 1^st – 2^nd.  New Moon on 7^th falls in your relationships and partnerships zone which marks a new phase here too.  Make resolutions that will help towards what you hope to find here in the month and year ahead.

From 2^nd Venus glides into your 6^th House of work, health and service to others.  Relations with colleagues and daily companions should go well after 6^th.  And you will enjoy your daily rituals and routines.  (Just be sure not to overdo it in the food and drink department…).

Mars continues to give you the energy and detrmination to push head in your father, career and social status zone.  This is good for ambitions but you may hit a lull when it meets Neptune around 6^th – 7^th.  Take time off for a bit of reflection to check your actions (or manner) are not running contrary to ‘the overall dream’.  (And if they are, take corrective action from 8^th).

Your ruling planet Mercury makes a round trip this month.  On 1^st it steps back into your work, health and service to others zone, to resolve whatever communications went awry in late-October.  Things start moving forwards again on 6^th and by 12^th all should be hopefully remedied and you can apply your silver tongue to relationships and partnerships!

Things get even better around 21^st when Mercury meets Jupiter, putting your mind at its most positive.  These two planets met up in late-October in your work, health and service to others zone.  Now they meet once again in relationships and partnerships.  This can widen your outlook and deepen your mindset.  And you may find yourself thinking about partnerships as a means of growth.  Partners from different countries or cultures could appear too.

The month ends with the focus on joint funds, intimacy and sharing – and all the hard work and honesty (including self-honesty) that these require…

Cancer:     Home bird that you are, you will enjoy Venus in your mother and home zone at the start of the month but the demands of the world (in the form of revolutionary Uranus) will not let you rest as a new uncompromising version of your social status is still being required.  This seemed to have been completed in May but there is still further to go.  Who you truly are now, needs to find new expression in the world.

Meanwhile, there is pleasure on offer as Venus glides into your 5th House of romance, children and creativity from 3^rd.  Mercury helps communications here too but after 6^th until 12^th.

Your work, health and service to others zone is busy too.  Are your skills finding an outlet in your work or daily life?  Perhaps it is time for a new job or a more expansive daily routine.  Mercury joins Jupiter for the most positive mindset on 21^st.  Make a note of all the possibilities that occur to you then.  You can make them a reality.

Relationships and partnerships take on more importance after 21^st.  And Full Moon in your sign on 22^nd raises emotions around your needs versus the needs of others you are relating with.

You may have the urge to travel or explore cultural or philosophical fields this month.  But as the Sun approaches Saturn towards the very end of the month, the hard work and dutiful side of relationships will require you to ‘do your bit’.  Do it!

Leo:     Leos in the Northern hemisphere sometimes struggle around this time of year as their ruling planet the Sun has its shortest appearance.  But from the Winter Solstice on 21^st, that slowly starts to change.  Use these short days to develop creative ideas that you can bring to light, either now or later.  We all need to see or hear them.  For Leos in the Southern hemisphere, though, your battery is on full charge.  Enjoy it!

There may be some coming and going on the home front at the start of the month as Mercury cannot make its mind up whether to stay or go but things get sorted out from 6^th – 12^th when Mercury goes direct again.  Venus adds pleasure to your home life and to dealings with mother-figures from 2^nd onwards.  You may find yourself beautifying your home or entertaining others there.  Personal development is well-starred too.

Mars provides the energy and determination to move forwards with joint funds this month.  This includes sorting out taxes, debts and inheritances.  Intimacy will feel important too and you may get swept off your feet (or get disappointed) around 6^th – 7^th when Neptune dissolves boundaries or makes things unclear.

Romance, children and creativity are also highlighted this month.  New Moon falls in this area of your solar chart on 7^th, marking the start of your Creative New Year.  Make some resolutions for the year ahead. . Also around 21^st Mercury and Jupiter meet up for a super-positive mindset.  And your horizons get even bigger.  Only when we are at our most positive do we see what could be possible.  Follow through with your vision!

From 21^st the Sun moves into your work, health and service to others zone.  And first of all, it heads towards Saturn, getting closer and closer as the year comes to an end.  Mercury and Jupiter provided the inspiration, now Saturn demands hard work to make it all happen.  Put in that hard work!

Virgo:     From 1^st – 2^nd there may be a flash of awareness that highlights conflicts between your security and financial well-being and the financial demands of others.  They are opposites.

Venus then moves into your everyday mind zone, giving you smooth delivery in all of your communications, whether spoken or written and the offer of pleasure through physical movement and short journeys after 6^th.  Dealings with siblings and neighbours should go well for the rest of the month too.

Your ruling planet Mercury completes a full circle between 1^st and 12^th.  It heads back to your communications zone to clear up a misunderstanding or missed opportunity from late-October.  And it starts moving forwards again from 6^th and by 12^th everything should be once again in order.

Mars continues to push forwards in relationships and partnerships all month but also around 6^th – 7^th it runs into Neptune which clouds the view.  Have you been over-idealising someone?  Or running roughshod over other people’s feelings?  Give yourself some time reflect during this period so that you can continue to make headway, in the right way.  You may also be ready to address old wounds of your own from 27^th – 30^th!

Your mother and home zone have big bouncy Jupiter all month (and in fact for the coming year) and also the Sun until 21^st.  This is good for warmth and optimism.  From 12^th Mercury joins them too and on 21^st Mercury meets Jupiter bringing grand visions of what may be possible in terms of a home for yourself, emotional conditions in that home, dealings with mother-figures and personal development.  Make a careful note of all the ideas that come up, so that you do not lose them to the busy-ness of life.

The Sun moves into your romance, children and creativity zone from 21^st and heads towards Saturn.  This can be a very productive period but you must put in the hard work to get a good result.  As you know more about hard work than many other signs, you should be able to put your head down and just do it.

Libra:     Your ruling planet Venus spends the first two days of the month in your sign which is an extra-strong charm offensive but truculent partners may miss this altogether as they head ever further along their individual agenda.

Meanwhile, Venus graces your money, possessions, income and values zone for the rest of the month and by the end of the month, your finances may look rosier than they have done for a while, despite comings and goings from 1^st – 12^th.

Communications and dealings with traders, siblings and neighbours are looking good from 12^th – 21^st as Mercury joins the Sun and Jupiter in the communications area of your chart.  Short journeys and physical movement can be an expansive area to explore too.  And have you thought of learning a new language, starting a course of some other kind or teaching others a skill that you have?

From 21^st the planetary emphasis moves to your mother and home zone.  Hard work may be awaiting you here and your duties pile up as you head towards the end of the year.  Mars in your 6^th House of work, health and service to others gives you the energy and determination to see things through.

Scorpio:     Venus glides into your sign early in the month and from 3^rd you will feel like the seductive centre of the universe.  And at least one other person will probably agree….  Any recent misunderstandings may continue until 6^th but then as Mercury goes direct in your sign from 6^th – 12^th, you should be able to sort them out.

Mercury then turns its mind to money-making ideas and a new strand of income could come into view with New Moon on 7^th.  This is also a good day for drawing up a new budget and making financial plans.  On 21^st the plans may get even bigger as Mercury joins Jupiter giving the best mindset possible around security and values.  Material things, however much or many we acquire do not always deliver a sense of security but creativity and values can and are more reliable.

Late October Mercury met Jupiter in your sign which was a high-point for self-belief and optimism.  These two planets, meeting again, now in your 2^nd House, offer the opportunity for you to make that self-belief your guide for the values you now choose to live by.  Choose generously.

Mars is urging you to be creative too this month, as it forges through your 5^th House of romance, children and creativity.  You may be called upon to be selfless or you may lose yourself around 6^th – 7^th when Mars meets up with Neptune.  Try to schedule in some time for day-dreaming and dipping into the pool for inspiration during this period.

The focus moves on to communications from 21^st.  As you get closer to the end of the year, this may feel like hard work.  But your concentration is strong.  And nothing is achieved by being half-hearted.  Keep communications open and give them your best!

Sagittarius:     Your ruling planet Jupiter and the Sun (until 21^st) put two big, positive balls in your court this month and Mercury joins the party of warmth, optimism and freer self-expression from 12^th.  Even better, when Mercury catches up with Jupiter around 21^st, your mind will be at its most positive.  This will make you aware of possibilities that had never occurred to you.  Or possibilities you had never considered before.  Consider them!  This super-buoyant wave in your sign only hits every 12 years.  Literally make a note of all the thoughts and ideas that come to you, for future development.

New Moon in your sign on 7^th also marks the beginning of your personal New Year.  Be attentive to yourself and make resolutions that will help to meet your emotional needs in the month and year ahead.

You are still active on the mother and home front this month as Mars continues to drive you forwards with projects here and also with personal development.  You may have to slow down or take stock though around 6^th – 7^th when Mars runs into Neptune, planet of ideals and spirituality.  These two are not the most comfortable of companions but Mars can help to keep one foot in reality during a Neptunian mist.  Or Neptune can add ideals to the current project or check you are not running counter to your own values.

From 21^st onwards your focus turns to finances and security as the Sun enters your 2^nd House and heads towards demanding Saturn.  Here is a big reality check that will require honesty and possibly a lot of hard work too.  Be ready to get to grips with whatever is required.

Capricorn:     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 21^st.  Your birthday, whether this month or next is your personal new year and a more meaningful time to make resolutions for the year ahead, rather than January 1^st.  It is also the perfect time to explore your planets for the year ahead with a good astrologer.

You may start the month with hopeful worldly ambitions but Uranus shaking up your mother and home zone demands attention.  There are inner changes needed too, so you can spring into the world from a base that is right for who you now are.  This inner repositioning seemed to be complete last May but there is still further to go, to find the true uncompromising version of your inner-self and ways to better meet your needs.

From 3^rd Venus lines up nice times with friends, groups and community.  Make time for pleasurable pursuits.  Mercury is trying to sort out misunderstandings here from 1^st – 6^th and manages to move things forward from 6^th – 12^th.

On 21^st Mercury joins Jupiter in the unconscious part of your solar chart and any self-defeating mindsets can be shifted.  The Sun moves into your sign on the same day, starting a fresh year for you.  Full Moon in your relationships and partnerships zone the next day (22^nd) reminds you that there are others to consider as well as yourself.  Give them the attention that they deserve!

Aquarius:     Your ruling planet Uranus starts the month off challenging Venus to step outside her comfort zone and walk on the wild side…  New ways of thinking and people from different countries, cultures or with different values attract you and you them.  And you give each other much to think about!

Venus then moves into your father, career and social status zone, attracting support from people in high places.  If you have any favours to ask, do so after 7^th.  Likewise, if you are in a position to help others, do not hold back.

Mars is urging you to push ahead with financial plans, perhaps another stream of income.  It may be hard to see the wood from the trees around 6^th – 7^th when a Neptunian mist descends for a while.  Do not force anything then, just take a step back until things are clearer.  You may also be able to address money matters in a more forthright way around 27th – 30th, as a salve for past wounds.

Friends, groups and community (some of your favourite areas of life) are also high focus this month.  The Sun keeps things warm until 21st and the meeting of Mercury and Jupiter on the same day, put you on a super-sonic high.  When your mind is as positive as this, the impossible becomes possible.  Make a map of how to reach your vision!

Spend some time for the rest of the month working on your unconscious.  Any self-defeating patterns need turning around and affirmations and self-talk should be positive, so that you do not inadvertently get in your own way, on this new quest.

Pisces:     A financial hiccough at the start of the month may be helped by ‘the money of others’.  But you soon forget about this as from 3^rd Venus reminds you of the pleasures of exploring the face of the earth and the higher mind, either through travel, deep study, different cultures or the great outdoors.  Stretch your physical or philosophical legs!

Mars in your sign adds to your determination and resolve to push your own agenda forwards this month.  It runs into Neptune though around 6^th – 7^th which slows it down.  This is difficult for most signs but as Neptune is your ruling planet, this should not be a problem for you.  In fact it can help you to blend the present ‘you’ and the ideal ‘you’ into a closer fit.  You may also be able to move old wounds on from 27^th – 30^th when Mars joins Chiron in your sign.

New Moon on 7^th falls in your 10^th House of father, career and social status.  This marks the beginning of a new year in one or more of these areas.  Make some resolutions that will help you to keep on track in the month and year ahead.  The Sun and Jupiter provide warmth and optimism here too.  And when Mercury joins Jupiter on 21^st, your mind and vision will be at their most positive.  Capture all the possibilities that occur to you at this time.  They only come along in this area of your solar chart, every 12 years!

From 21^st the Sun joins Saturn and Pluto in your 11^th House of friends, groups and community.  Some hard work is needed here.  Put it in!

Aries:     2010 to 2018 was an awakening period for you as Uranus shook the foundations of your identity.  This process appeared to complete in May when Uranus moved into your 2^nd House, looking afresh at your values and to what extent they inform your finances.  But the self-awakening process needs just a little more work before you can fully apply your values onto your life (and perhaps other people’s).  This starts on 6^th when Uranus jumps back again into your sign.  It is going to stay here until early-March, so use this time to uncover the pure uncompromised version of who you truly are now.

Your ruling planet Mars changes sign on 15^th, completing its present mission in your friends, groups and community zone and moving into your 12^th House of the unconscious, creativity behind the scenes, healing and compassion for others.  You will be active and pushing ahead in one or more of these areas.  But this may not be apparent to others just yet.

Another major shift this month is Jupiter which moves into your travel, studies, cultural, philosophy and ethics zone from 8^th.  This is Jupiter’s natural home and its gift is buoyant optimism, expansion and exploration.  Opportunities will come your way in the 12 months ahead that expand your scope, range and understanding.  This may seem like ‘luck’ but in fact it is a reflection of a widening in your outlook and world view.  Other cultures, and people who hold different beliefs to you could become important too.

Your words may also travel further either through your travels, the internet or other forms of publishing.  This upbeat wave is with you for just over a year.  Be ready to leap into new terrain with your enthusiasm and faith in life before you!

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).

Taurus:     Uranus has been shaking up Taureans since May when it entered your sign but from 6^th it retreats back into your 12^th House of the unconscious.  Big change is coming but there are some further internal changes that need to be completed before you are ready for the next eight years of personal revolution!

To help this process along, it can be helpful to take a good look at self-talk and iron out any undermining messages there.  Engaging professional assistance to help turn around unhelpful emotional patterns is a timely idea too.  Uranus returns to Taurus in March, so do as much inner-work as you can until then.

New Moon on 7^th falls in the relationships and partnerships part of your chart.  This marks the start of your Relating New Year.  Put in place plans and resolutions that will help you to build the kind of partnerships you hope to find in the month and year ahead.

Your ruling planet Venus goes direct on 16^th in your work, health and service to others zone.  This reminds you to enjoy the simple pleasures of daily rituals and self-care.  Relations with colleagues and daily companions can be a source of pleasure too (including pets).

Jupiter planet of growth, expansion and opportunities changes sign on 8^th.  Its new area of exploration for the next 13 months is joint funds (including taxes, debts and inheritances), transformation (including birth, sex and death) and sharing (including physical intimacy).  These are all areas for growth and hopefully deeper understanding.

Mercury goes retrograde in this area of your chart from 17^th, so if there are things to sign, try to do so before then or after Dec 6^th.  The Sun joins Jupiter on 25^th – 26^th and a vision of your expansion in the year ahead could fill you with optimism and hope!

Gemini:     From 2011 until earlier this year, Uranus, planet of change, disruption and revolution has been shaking up your dealings with friends, groups, community, organisations and humanitarian ideals.  This seemed like it was finished but some further changes are needed.  This final flash of Uranian lightning starts on 6th and carries on until next March.  Go with these changes.

Jupiter is on the move too.  After a year’s stay in your work, health and service to others zone, on 8^th Jupiter glides into the relationships and partnerships area of your solar chart.  This is a call for growth in your relationships.  And this could take the form of a new relationship (possibly with someone from a different country or culture), growth in an existing relationship or the need for freedom from existing structures.  Jupiter is going to be around for almost 13 months. Be ready for growth!

Your ruling planet Mercury goes retrograde on 17^th, also in your 7^th House of relationships and partnerships.  This is a time to pause and look at how you have been communicating with partners (business as well as intimate).  And how you want to communicate with them in the future.  Mercury goes direct again on Dec 6^th but meanwhile on 25^th – 26^th the Sun joins Jupiter and you may get a glimpse of the growth to come.

From 15^th Mars will be in your father, career and social status zone, adding energy and determination to your ambitions.  This can be good for getting things done.  It can also heat up interactions with authority figures (or with others if you are the authority figure… ).  Again this can be good for joint action or heated if others do not share your opinion.  Neptune turning direct on 25^th should add vision to your actions too.

Venus goes direct in your romance, children and creativity zone from 16^th which opens the path to pleasure in one or more of these areas and possible surprises around 28^th – 30^th!

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).

Cancer:     Uranus the planet of change, disruption and revolution spent most of the last eight years revolutionising your father, career and social status zone.  This moved off in May but from 6^th Uranus moves back to fully complete the process in your ambitions and social status.  Any compromises you may have reached in any of these areas or with father figures, require further change.

Cancerians excel at holding on to things but this will require you to let go.  We all from time to time need the refreshment and stimulation that change can bring.  This is one of those times.

New Moon on 7^th falls in your romance, children and creativity zone which is a good time to start new projects related to any of these.  Sports and speculation come into this too.  The next day Jupiter, planet of growth, expansion and opportunity completes its 1-year stay here and takes its urge for exploration to your 6^th House of work, health and service to others.  This is good for relations with colleagues and daily companions (including pets) and you may come into daily contact with people, daily rituals or ideas from different countries or cultures.  Be open to the expansion that they bring.

The Sun joins Jupiter here on 25^th – 26^th which is a feel-good factor.  Your daily routine and how you tend yourself physically and look after your well-being are part of this too.  Mercury goes retrograde in this area of your chart too on 17^th, beginning a review of these areas of life which can be helpful before you surge forwards.

Venus goes direct on 16^th in your mother and home zone.  The 6-week review of how you want to proceed here is now complete and you can put your conclusions into action.  Whether you intend to beautify your home or extend its comforts and pleasures to others, enjoy your nest and all it offers!

Leo:     Uranus has been shaking up your father, career and social status since May but on 6^th Uranus turns back to finish off its revolutionary effect in your 9^th House of travel, religion, philosophy, deep study, ethics and publishing.  It has already recently completed seven years in this area of your chart but over the next four months it will push past any compromises you have settled on in any of these areas…

The Sun continues to warm your mother and home zone this month until 22^nd when it joins other planets in your 5th House which is the main focus.  Leo is particularly comfortable in this area of the solar chart which rules romance, children and creativity.  Jupiter, planet of growth, expansion and opportunity leaps into this part of your solar chart on 8th for a 13-month stay.  This is also good for fun, recreation, sports and you may be more open to risk-taking than usual.

Mercury goes retrograde however on 17^th in this same area of your chart which brings about a review of how you have been dealing with communications in these areas and how you would like them to go in the future.  It is helpful to give all of this some thought before Jupiter takes full flight.  But you may get a brief view of some of the possibilities ahead when your ruling planet the Sun joins Jupiter on 25^th – 26^th.

Venus which has been retrograde in your communications zone since early-Oct, goes direct on 16^th.  This should help in your dealings in trading and relating to neighbours and siblings.  Short journeys could become more pleasurable, as could physical movement.  (Give it a try if you have been more sedentary recently).

On 15^th Mars leaves your relationships and partnerships zone where it has been heating things up since May.  (This may have taken the form of conflict or passion… ).  Mars then leaps into your 8th House of joint funds, taxes, debts and inheritances.  Sort out whatever needs sorting out.  Sharing comes into this too. including yourself in an intimate level.  Neptune goes direct here too on 25^th which gives more clarity and a better view.  Put your ideals into practice.

Virgo:     Uranus has been shaking up your joint funds for most of the past seven years.  But last May it moved on into your travel, study, philosophy and ethics zone to revolutionise one or more of these areas of life.  On 6^th however, Uranus zips back into your shared zone to bring about further changes that need to take place.  If you settled with a compromise at the time, this may no longer be your true and honest position.  Further radical changes may present themselves as the best solution.  If so, do not be afraid to go with them!

Jupiter planet of growth, expansion and opportunity changes sign this month too on 8^th.  Completing a year of expansion in communications, it now leaps into your 4^th House of mother and home, self-nurture and personal development.  This could mean a bigger home in some way (either in dimensions or emotional conditions), a home in a different country or one that is run on philosophical principles.  Relationships with mother-figures can improve.  And also a deeper understanding and meeting of your own needs makes for growth and well-being!

Your ruling planet Mercury goes retrograde here too from 17^th which requires you to stop and reflect on how you have been communicating or thinking about your roots and foundations.  Give this plenty of thought, before your path clears on Dec 6^th.

Mars completes its tour of your work, health and service to others zone on 15^th and directs its energies into your relationships and partnerships (business or personal).  Neptune goes direct here too on 25^th, clearing up recent uncertainties or misunderstandings.  And you may find yourself pushing forwards for an ideal relationship once again.

Libra:     2010 to 2018 was a disruptive period in your relationships and partnerships as Uranus shook up many assumptions and the status quo for you and partners.  This moved on in May but there are some remaining changes to make, starting on 6^th when Uranus moves back into your opposite sign.  Any compromises you may have settled on will no longer do.

On 7^th New Moon in your finance zone is a good time to draw up a budget.  And on 8^th Jupiter, planet of growth, expansion and opportunities completes its 12-month tour of your money, possessions, security, values and self-esteem part of your chart and moves into your communications zone.  This introduces positive, big ideas, productive short journeys and opportunities to teach or make your understanding available to others in some way.  The Sun joins forces with Jupiter on 25^th – 26^th which should give a flavour of things to come too.

Your ruling planet Venus goes direct on 16^th, enabling you to put recent reflections into action and helping you to charm others round to your way of thinking.  The following day Mercury goes retrograde in your communications zone.  This puts Jupiterian expansion on hold for a while which helps you to review your ideas and get off to a good start once it goes direct again next month on Dec 6^th.

When Venus opposes Uranus from 28^th – 30^th, changes are called for once again.  This could be the need for more experimental expression in existing relationships, sudden attractions elsewhere or new forms of creativity.  The status quo is no longer a helpful thing to hold onto.  Be ready to surf the waves!

Scorpio:     The Sun ball remains in your court this month until 22^nd, radiating warmth, optimism and freer self-expression.  New Moon on 7^th is also in your sign which marks the beginning of your Personal New Year.  Make plans and resolutions for what you hope to find in your emotional life in the month and year ahead.

Meanwhile, Uranus has been shaking up your 6^th House of work, health and service to others over the past eight years.  In May this year it turned its revolutionary attentions to your relationships and partnerships and there is more of this to come but on 6^th Uranus goes back to see to still unfinished business on the work and health front.  You have until March to make the further changes that are needed.  Give them your attention.

Jupiter finishes its 12-month tour of your sign on 8^th and moves into your 2^nd House of money, possessions, security, values and self-esteem.  This usually brings an expansion in some way which could be about opportunities for more income or a greater sense of security through a deepening of your values, creativity and self-esteem.

Mercury goes retrograde in this same area of your chart on 17^th.  If you have to sign anything financial, do so before then or after Dec 6^th if you can.  Even so, the Sun and Jupiter join forces on 25^th – 26^th which should give you a view of broader vistas in the year ahead.

There is still more action on the home front as Mars continues to forge ahead here but on 15^th it jumps into your romance, children and creativity zone.  Be ready for fun and adventures and even new sports?  Neptune goes direct here too on 25^th, clarifying your ideals and Mars gives you the energy to apply them.  Go forth!

Sagittarius:     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 22^nd.  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 1^st.  It is also the perfect time to explore your planets for the year ahead with a good astrologer.

On 6^th Uranus moves back to finish what it started in your romance, children and creativity zone.  One or more of these areas have been shaken up over the past eight years.  This partly moved off from mid-May this year but Uranus has a few more further adjustments to make.  Any half-way compromises may have to be pushed to more radical positions.  You have until March to reach the pure uncompromised result of your Uranian revolution.  So help further changes to happen.

One of the reasons Sagittarians are so buoyant is their ruler Jupiter, planet of growth, expansion and opportunities.  Jupiter has a 12-year cycle spending approximately one year in each sign.  And the good news is, Jupiter moves into your sign on 8th and will stay there for over a year.  This is great for confidence, optimism, daring and well-being!

However, Mercury goes retrograde in your sign from 17^th which is a time to pause and ponder on your identity before the big Jupiterian leap forward.  It goes direct again on Dec 6^th when you can fully launch your year of growth.  Do the background thinking and planning meanwhile!

Things start looking active on the mother and home front from 15^th when Mars takes things up a year.  Neptune goes direct in this area of your chart too on 25^th which lends vision to your projects and heightens the chances of making your ideals a reality.  Push for better things.

Capricorn:     Your roots and foundations had Uranus shaking them up from 2010 to 2018.  In May Uranus then moved on to shake up your romance, children and creativity zone but from 6^th Uranus is back once again to complete its revolution in your mother and home zone.  This will require you to make whatever changes you held back on previously.  Uranus does not like compromise and any half-way points you stopped at earlier, now need to be taken to completion.  You have until March to achieve this.  Be glad of this second chance.

Another major shift this month is Jupiter which completes its year of expansion in your friends, groups and community zone on 8^th when it leaps into your 12^th House of the collective unconscious.  This can raise your awareness to the pain and suffering of others and you could have expansive experiences through time spent in seclusion and contact with institutions (including hospitals, prisons and psychiatric units) where others are removed from the demands of daily life and perhaps more receptive than usual.  You could be an agent for growth for those in need or confined.

Charities could very much benefit from your input too.  And your sharpened antennae enable you to plug into the collective unconscious and what the world is now ready for.  Creativity behind the scenes is therefore well-starred and its products hopefully well-received.  Spiritual and consciousness raising practices (such as meditation, healing and training to heal others) can have a big impact too.  This is all looking for growth and expansion in the next 13 months.  Be active in these pursuits!

Venus which has been retrograde in your 10^th House of father, career and social status for the past six weeks, goes direct on 16^th and having reviewed your position, you can now once again move forward with your conclusions.  Mercury goes retrograde on 17^th revisiting self-doubt and any unhelpful self-talk until Dec 6^th.  But the Sun joins forces with Jupiter on 25^th – 26^th which should give some foresight into the kinds of opportunities that you could generate and attract once Mercury has moved on.  This could be life-changing, so give it your full attention!

Aquarius:     Your ruling planet Uranus kicks the month off with a jolt.  After shaking up your communications zone for seven years, it moved into your 4^th House of mother and home in May but returns this month on 6^th to complete the push for new ways of thinking and communicating.  You have until March to break through to your pure uncompromised free-thinking (and free-talking) self!

The dynamic charge of Mars in your sign continues to keep you revved up until 15^th but then Mars moves its focus onto your finances and you may find a well of energy to ready to sort out financial matters and even develop a new stream of income.  Neptune goes direct here too on 25^th which removes the fog of uncertainty, leaving you with a clearer view of how things stand.  You may also look to seek security through creativity or through a value system that gives a sense of security.

Jupiter, planet of growth, expansion and opportunities is on the move too this month.  On 8^th it finishes its 12-month stay in your father, career and social status zone and moves into its new abode – your 11^th House of friends, groups, community and humanitarian ideals.  Jupiter is the planet of growth, expansion and opportunities and here is the promise of expansive experiences through any or all of these in the year ahead.  If you have been thinking of joining or stating a group – do it!

Friends from different countries or cultures or mindsets could also show up this year.  Your community could benefit from your input, as could you.  Humanitarian movements and organisations in general could make your world a bigger place too.

Meanwhile, Mercury goes retrograde in this part of your chart too from 17^th.  This brings about a review of how you have been communicating with and thinking about friends, groups and community.  Take this natural pause to reflect.  And around 25^th – 26^th when the Sun joins Jupiter, you may get a glimpse of the expansive times to come.

Venus goes direct on 16^th which can make travel pleasurable and also  dealings with cultural matters and people different from yourself.  Your sense of justice will be strong and you may find yourself challenging the status quo around 28^th – 30^th if anything seems unjust.  And if you find others joining you, do not be surprised!

Pisces:     Uranus, planet of change, disruption and revolution is on the move this month and on 6^th it makes its way back to shake up your 2^nd House of money, possessions, income, security, values and self-esteem.  You had seven years of this prior to this May but some things were left unresolved or you settled on a compromise that is no longer tenable.  It is now time to revisit one or more of these areas to find a radical solution!

Jupiter changes sign too on 8^th, kicking off a year of growth, expansion and opportunity, in your 10^th House of father, career and social status.  This only happens every 12 years and usually makes your world a wider place.  You may find opportunities in other countries or meet people professionally from other parts of the world or from different cultures.  Authority figures can probably be helpful too and relations with father figures deepen or they find a new freedom for themselves.  Your social status could improve too.

Mercury goes retrograde on 17^th in this same area of your chart.  This brings about a review to examine how you have been dealing with communications professionally and with authority figures.  You have until Dec 6^th to work through this (and possibly your CV) and then you will be fully ready for that big, Jupiterian wave that is waiting for you.

Chiron remains back in your sign too, extending your possibility of healing old wounds.  And on 15^th Mars leaps into your sign adding extra dynamism and determination to your creative self-expression.  Meanwhile, Venus goes direct on 16^th and softens your joint finance zone and you may benefit from ‘the money of others’.  This is good for intimacy and sharing too.  The only exception to these positives may be around 28^th – 30^th when your own security needs get shaken.

Your ruling planet Neptune goes direct in your sign on 25^th which will help you to feel more in tune with yourself.  And the ideal you, once again feels within reach!
