Aries:   Your ruling planet Mars is still forging ahead all month in relationships and partnerships. Venus excites you as it opposes Uranus in your sign until 7th then it is down to your willpower to push your agenda forward and express your passion (and there is no shortage of that!)

When Mars squares Pluto from 15th – 19th, people in authority may block your plans (or you may block theirs…). Power games rarely benefit anyone in the long run so lead by example and be ‘big’.

New Moon on 18th falls in the other active part of your solar chart – the 8th House of intimacy, joint funds and sharing. This is the house of transformation. Where do you seek transformation in the year ahead?

You will be looking at the need for inner change from 1st – 11th and what you want in partnerships may be a challenge even to yourself from 28th – 30th. You will have to stretch to meet your goal. But what is life without a challenge?

Taurus:   Your ruling planet Venus starts the month in a state of excitement as it opposes unpredictable Uranus from 2nd – 5th. Full Moon in your sign, early on 4th heightens emotions too around this time. Venus also moves into your partnerships zone from 7th, adding to the already feel-good presence of the Sun and Jupiter there. 11th – 13th is especially up-beat. Enjoy it with others.

This leaves Mars as sole occupant of your 6th House of work, health and service to others. Health matters that need taking in hand can be moved forward this month. Although travel, ethics or cultural issues may intervene from 15th – 19th when Mars runs into conflict with Pluto. Putting a good work-life balance in place is a good aim this month. Positive additions to your daily routine can be made too. How you tend yourself physically and to your daily well-being, needs your attention. Give it!

Joint funds, sharing and dealings with financial institutions are on your mind from 5th. Taxes, debts and inheritances come to mind and the events surrounding them. And is your own will (if you have made one) relevant and up to date?

As well as smoothing relationships and partnerships, Venus enters a romantic or creative flow from 14th – 16th. Healing opportunities are around too from 25th – 27th. This is followed by surprising events from 28th – 30th when you unconscious intervenes…

Gemini:   You will be pushing ahead with romantic or creative projects this month as Mars makes its way through your 5th House. You may be more assertive with children too, although no one may notice this until after 7th. Your progress may be challenged around 15th – 19th by demands from others for money or intimacy. Friends may challenge your plans too from 28th – 30th.

Your main focus this month though is work, health and service to others. The Sun is highlighting these until 22nd and Venus adds pleasure and ease from 7th. When Venus meets Jupiter around 11th – 13th your sense of well-being will be high (as long as you do not over-indulge). Relations with colleagues go well and pleasure can be found in mindfully carrying out your daily routine and looking after yourself physically.

New Moon falls in this area of your solar chart on 18th which is the perfect time to start a new work or health regime. What you include or exclude from your day can have a strong impact, so choose healthily. Neptune goes direct on 22nd which makes the way forward clearer in your father, career and social status zone. This will be welcome and marks the end of a long five-month period of confusion.

Your ruling planet Mercury is busy thinking about relationships and partnerships from 5th. The Sun adds creative energy to your plans from 22nd. But your thoughts and communications will be serious from 26th – 28th. Say what you mean. And mean what you say.

Cancer:   Your sights are still set on pushing projects through regarding mother and home this month. Mars is plugging away and Venus helps too until 7th, albeit with some surprises from your father, career and social status zone.

Partnerships may stall your progress from 15th – 19th when Mars squares Pluto. This looks like a possible power battle. Handle it as creatively as you can.

Romance, children and creativity are glowing as the Sun, Venus and Jupiter give an upbeat, feel-good vibe. 11th – 13th is especially enjoyable, gather loved ones around to enjoy it with them. New Moon on 18th also falls in this area of your solar chart, making this a good time to make resolutions for your creative year ahead.

From 5th Mercury comes up with lots of ideas about how to improve your health, working conditions and daily routine. Communications go easily with colleagues and daily companions and your physical agility could improve too. You may have to slow down though around 26th – 28th when your thoughts or communications get more serious.

The month ends with a clash between mother and father or home and career and compromise on either side may not seem possible. Look for creative solutions.

Leo:   You continue to be assertive in your communications this month which may not be apparent to others until Venus moves its attention to other matters after 7th. Even so you will try to be fair but power-wielding situations around 15th – 19th will stand out starkly. Be fair then too, even in others are not being (though there is nothing wrong in pointing that out). Travel, cultural or ethical matters challenge your current train of thought from 28th – 30th. However unsettling, allow this insight in.

The main emphasis this month is mother and home. Your creative energies are running high here and you will want to beautify your home or extend its pleasures to others, especially around 11th – 13th when Venus meets Jupiter – the ultimate feel-good aspect. New Moon falls in your mother and home zone too on 18th. This marks the beginning of your domestic new year. Make resolutions that will help to create a happy home in the month and year ahead. Self nurture and personal development come into this too. Include them in your plans.

From 5th your thoughts turn to romance, children and creativity. The Sun adds energy to carry out your plans from 22nd. Although serious thought or a re-think may seem necessary around 26th – 28th.

Joint funds, sharing and intimacy get clearer from 22nd. It has been a confusing time over the past five months but the way ahead is now more visible.

Virgo:   You will be pushing forward on financial fronts all month as Mars continues resolutely on its quest for some security. The results could be good early in the month as Venus helps things along until 7th. There will be a challenge to your plans though around 15th – 19th when compulsive desires connected to romance, children or creativity burst in. You may also be thrown by financial demands from others from 28th – 30th.

Your main focus this month however is communication of all kinds. The Sun is focusing on these until 22nd, providing warmth and energy. And Venus helps to smooth everything along, especially from 11th – 13th when it joins Jupiter. This can provide mental delights that come from a positive mind, happiness through exercise and physical movement and lovely exchanges with others, particularly neighbours and siblings. The only danger here is going too far in pleasing others. Keep boundaries while having fun.

New Moon also falls in this arena on 18th which is a perfect time to start a new exercise regime, learn a new language or begin a writing project.

Your ruling planet Mercury is busy thinking about mother and home from 5th. The Sun highlights these matters too from 22nd, followed by serious thoughts or communications from 28th – 30th.

Neptune also goes direct on 22nd in your partnerships zone, after five months of confusion. Your ideals are still in place but the reality of things should become clearer now.

Libra:   Mars stays in your sign all month filling you with determination. Your ruling planet Venus is also with you until 7th, providing you with a velvet glove for that fist of iron. Partners or your need for change in partnerships could be adding to your resolve and driving you forward too. Power issues around mother and home may stop you in your tracks though from 15th – 19th.

You will be active on the money-making front this month as four planets busy themselves in your 2nd House of money, possessions, security and values. Venus is usually good for your finances , especially when it joins Jupiter from 11th – 13th. And a new strand of income could come into view with the New Moon on 18th. This is also the perfect time to draw up a budget or financial plan for the year ahead.

From 5th Mercury moves into your communications zone. This helps your mental, verbal and physical agility. The Sun warms things up here too from 22nd and dealings with siblings, neighbours and trades people goes easily, apart from 26th – 28th when serious discussions may be needed.

From 28th – 30th Mars in your sign opposes Uranus in your partnerships zone. Librans usually bend so easily to compromise but this time others will have to accommodate you… Stick to your guns!

Scorpio:   The Sun ball remains in your court this month until 22nd, radiating warmth, optimism and freer self-expression. Mercury lends you mental energy too until 5th when it turns its focus to your finances. And your silver tongue could generate some extra income. The Sun adds energy and creativity to your plans too from 22nd.

Venus is in your sign from 7th, adding to your charisma and making you compellingly attractive to others. This is heightened even further from 11th – 13th when Venus joins Jupiter in your sign. Your positive, feel-good benevolence attracts the same from others and rewards of its own. Romance and creative flow could be on the agenda too from 14th – 16th.

Your unconscious bursts into your communication around 15th – 19th. Be conscious of your words as they could leave lasting wounds on others. The end of the month is eventful too as buried memories come to light.

New Moon in your sign on 18th marks the beginning of your personal New Year. Make resolutions that will help to meet your emotional needs in the month and year ahead!

Sagittarius:   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 that the Sun is bringing fresh energy and a sense of renewal to you from 22nd!

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

Friends, groups and community events continue to go well until 7th, leaving Mars forging ahead here for the rest of the month. Collective ambitions can move forward as your determination wills them onward. There may be a hiccough though around 15th – 19th when money becomes an issue. The unpredictability of children or romantic interests causes a disruption to your plans too from 28th – 30th.

On 22nd Neptune goes direct in your mother and home zone, making things clearer after a five month period of confusion. Your ruling planet Jupiter is also in good aspect to this from 21st – 30th. This is good for pursuing dreams as your unconscious is for once on board too. Include self nurture and personal development in your plans!

Capricorn:   Your ambitions are still riding high and so is your determination to push them forward. Authority smiles on you too until 7th, although unexpected events concerning mother or home cause some distraction. A square between Mars and Pluto (which is presently in your sign) from 15th – 19th is striking. This is a time when your ambitions will even challenge you!

Full Moon on 4th falls in your romance, children and creativity zone. Venus and Uranus add a frisson too which means this could be a time to be experimental!

Friends, groups, community, organisations and humanitarian ideals are your big active areas this month. From 7th Venus joins Jupiter and the Sun, making this a pleasure zone, especially from 11th – 13th. You will benefit from communing with others. Make time for social events.

Your thinking gets more serious towards the end of the month from 26th – 28th when Mercury meets your ruling planet Saturn. This could also be a good time to review your communications to see what changes would be helpful. Mars opposes Uranus straight afterwards (28th – 30th) which puts the cat amongst the pigeons. No time to think, take action!

Aquarius:   Venus opposes your ruling planet Uranus from 2nd – 5th when your thoughts turn to travel, studies, culture and ethics. Mars is active in these areas all month and any ambitions you harbour can be moved forward. This may prove challenging though around 15th – 19th when unconscious dynamics could stop you in your tracks. Different ideas surprise you too around 28th – 30th.

The main emphasis this month though is in your father, career and social status zone. While a year of expansion in these areas has just started with Jupiter’s recent arrival, The Sun’s creative energy is here too until 22nd. And from 7th Venus smooths everything along too. If you need favours from people in authority, just ask. They will be looking on you favourably at present. 11th – 13th is particularly positive and expansive for ambitions of all kinds!

Saturn is in good aspect to Uranus from 1st – 11th when a sense of responsibility around friendship or humanitarian ideals, grounds your thoughts and guides communications. Your thinking is serious about these matters too from 26th – 28th.

New Moon on 18th falls in your father, career and social status zone too. This marks a new cycle in your public life. Make plans and resolutions that will help your worldly standing in the month and year ahead!

Pisces:   You will continue to push forward with joint funds such as taxes, debts or inheritances this month. How money is shared and resources used is also a focus or sharing (including yourself intimately) stays determinedly on your agenda. You may also see some results early in the month until 7th.

The main focus this month though is your 9th House of travel, deep studies, philosophy, ethics and legal affairs. The Sun is illuminating these areas until 22nd and from 7th Venus offers ease and pleasure too. Around 11th – 13th Venus joins Jupiter in a lovely aspect which can widen your understanding of different cultures and spiritual matters. It then forms a flowing aspect to your ruling planet Neptune from 14th – 16th which helps you to feel understood.

New Moon on 18th also falls in your busy 9th House and marks a good time to start a journey of some kind. This could be physically covering terrain (on foot or otherwise), a course of studies, cultural or inter-cultural explorations, a publishing project or a new spiritual practice.

On 22nd Neptune goes direct in your sign after five months in retrograde. This may have been a bewildering period but your ideals and sense of self start to become clear to you once again. What a relief! Mi

Aries:   Relationships and partnerships are looking lively this month. The Sun continues to shed a warm glow until 23rd. Mercury helps communications until 17th and Venus smooths your path from 14th onwards, offering pleasure and harmony. Make the most of this tranquil spell as your ruling planet Mars joins in from 22nd and assertiveness, passion or even aggression could feature too. Or perhaps you will be in determined pursuit of a certain someone… 

New Moon on the evening of 19th also marks a new phase in relationships and partnerships. Make resolutions that will help you to find and build a good partnership. (This applies to your professional and personal life.)

On 10th Jupiter completes its year of expansion in your partnerships zone and glides into your 8th House of transformational processes which includes birth, sex, death and joint funds. Growth and expansion can be found in or through these areas.

There may also be financial benefits from others, perhaps through partners, inheritances or tax rebates. Regardless of whether this materialises or not, learning to share is the big opportunity on offer in the year ahead – not just your resources (those too) but yourself intimately. This may look scary – but growth lies in this direction!

Taurus:   Your ruling planet Venus spends the first two weeks of October in your romance, children and creativity zone, bringing harmony and pleasure. Mars is there too until 22nd adding energy, drive and determination to the mix (anger and passion are other possibilities too…).

Venus’s next mission is smoothing your path in work, health and service to others. Relationships with colleagues and daily companions should go well and your general well-being looks good. Mars joins Venus from 22nd which could mean a romance at work or setting your sights on a new health goal. Mercury helps with physical movement from 1st – 17th and New Moon on the evening of 19th falls in this area of your chart too and is a perfect time to start a new regime.

The big deal this month though is Jupiter’s leap of faith on 10th when it moves into your 7th House of relationships and partnerships (personal and business) – your next realm for expansion. This could either be a new partnership, growth in a current one or a breaking of existing bonds for the freedom of new choices. Some of the characters involved, may be philosophically inclined or culturally different too.

On 17th – 18th Mercury joins Jupiter and your thinking and communications around partnerships is at its best. One way or another, your world will feel bigger and better over the coming year. Be open to what is on offer!

Gemini:   You take a creative approach towards home and nurturing during the first half of the month and Mars continues until 22nd to put energy into domestic or nurture projects. Venus and Mars then move into your 5th House of love affairs, children and creativity on 14th and 22nd which should make things interesting. Your ruling planet Mercury will already have planted ideas in your mind about what direction this could take…

Differences of opinion with others or obsessive thinking could crop up around 9th. Avoid downward spirals as this will soon pass. Mercury opposes Uranus too on on 15th which could change your mental voltage briefly. Your mind will be at its most positive though from 17th – 18th when it meets Jupiter and your wide range of creative possibilities in work and health come into view. Remember them for later.

New Moon on the evening of 19th, marks the beginning of your romantic and creative New Year. Make resolutions that will help to bring about a fulfilling month and year ahead.

Jupiter, the biggest planet in our solar system is on the move too. From 10th it will be in your 6th House of work, health and service to others. Your daily world is going to feel bigger in the year ahead and you may find a philosophy or spiritual practice that informs your work and daily life. So long as you avoid over-indulgence, your health and daily well-being should improve in the year ahead. You will learn to take pleasure in your new routind and daily companions bring you joy!

Cancer:   Venus and Mars continue to make your communications creative until mid-month and shortly after. Physical movement benefits you and can be a source of pleasure too, along with neighbours and siblings.

Mother and home continue to be a big focus this month as the Sun spends most of the month highlighting these areas. Mercury keeps you on your feet until 17th and Venus and Mars add creative talents to domestic projects, dealings with mother figures and personal development from 14th. New Moon on 19th marks a new phase here too. Make resolutions towards a home that will support and nurture you in the month and year ahead.

The main planetary event this month though is from 10th, when Jupiter moves into your 5th House. This indicates romance, children and creativity are your arenas for growth and expansion in the year ahead. People from different cultures or those of a religious or philosophical outlook might feature too.

Gambling and speculation may look more attractive (but be sure to avoid extremes). And sports come into this too. Feeling more athletic? Don’t rein it in. Experiment and explore. Jupiter can expand your world in many different ways! Go with it!

Leo:   Your financial creativity is strong up to 22nd and you will be determined to forge ahead with income-generating plans that add to your sense of security.

The Sun and Mercury add to your physical and mental agility up to 23rd and Venus adds ease and charm to your style and smile from 14th. Short journeys and dealings with neighbours, siblings and trades people go well too. You may get brisker from 22nd though when Mars enters the picture too.

The big shift this month though is from 10th when Jupiter enters your 4th House. This is the start of a new period of growth and expansion that will last until Nov 2018. With Jupiter in your 4th House an expansion on the home front is in store. That could mean a bigger home, or one in a different country or an expansion in emotional conditions in the home which makes your world feel bigger. Personal development, nurturing and self-nurturing is part of your new area to explore too.

On 17th – 18th Mercury joins Jupiter which is one of the points when our mind will be at its most positive. Make a note of all the possibilities that occur to you then. They cannot all be followed up at once, so keep them safe for future development. Your ruling planet the Sun joins Jupiter too from 23rd – 25th. This is a lovely up-beat buoyant wave. And gives you even more confidence to make waves yourself. Make them!

Virgo:   Venus and Mars continue to spark your attractiveness to others and ignite your passions until 14th and 22nd. You may be more assertive than usual but your charms will disarm others to the extent that they may not even notice you pressing ahead.

Your 2nd House is getting a lot of planetary attention this month too as Mercury, the Sun, Venus and then Mars highlight your finances, security, values and self-esteem. Your ruling planet Mercury may come up with money-making schemes from 1st – 17th. And Venus’s arrival from 14th could indicate an improvement in your earnings. New Moon on the evening of 19th is the perfect day to set a new budget. And from 22nd Mars will add to your determination to follow through.

But the big news is – Jupiter takes residence in your 3rd House of communications for a year, starting on 10th. This could expand your mind, widen your channels of communication, help with trading and keep your thinking buoyant. It gives you the ability to inspire anyone you are teaching or training. Your physical agility may improve too, so try new forms of movement alongside the expansion in your mental agility.

Jupiter is here to liberate your mind and remind you that everything is neutral and that all pain and suffering come from how we interpret and think about things. When you think positive, communications improve accordingly, as could relations with neighbours and siblings. Look out for great ideas from 17th – 18th and 23rd – 25th. And in the year ahead your products, ideas and words (spoken or written) could start to reach a much wider audience…

Libra:   Mercury adds lightness to communications from 1st – 17th and the Sun ball remains in your court until 23rd, radiating warmth, optimism and freer self-expression. Your ruling planet Venus is on the move too.

After a couple of choppy aspects from 7th – 8th and 11th – 12th when self-sabotage should be carefully avoided, Venus glides into your sign on 14th. This heightens your charms and parts the waves as you move forwards. Mars follows on 22nd and will add ambition and determination to the mix.

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

On 10th Jupiter ends its one year tour through your sign. This should have been a year of growth and expansion for you. Jupiter’s next area of growth and expansion is your 2nd House of money, possessions, security, values and self-esteem.

This could mean an increase in security but not necessarily through your finances. It can be found in other ways too. Developing a value system that gives a sense of security can meet the mark just as well, if not better. So can creativity. Generating your own income rather than relying on others could be part of this or adjusting your values, both of which could bring about growth in your self-esteem. Explore your possibilities in the year ahead!

Scorpio:   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.

Mercury reaches your sign on 17th helping you to articulate your deep processes more easily. And even earlier than that on 10th comes the biggest planetary event this month – Jupiter moves into Scorpio!

Jupiter’s entry into your 1st House marks the completion of one 12 year cycle of expansion and the beginning of another. Devote some time to thinking about what you would like this new 12-year period of growth to be about. Then stretch to reach it. This will probably involve letting go of certainty and old ways of doing things.

On 17th – 18th Mercury and Jupiter meet in your sign, making your mind positive and open to all of your possibilities. Make a note of these options – a written note, so the inspiration does not get lost. And 23rd – 25th is also a high when the Sun and Jupiter meet in Scorpio too.

Your confidence will blossom this year. Let optimism give you courage and make your world a bigger and better place. It has been a long time since things looked this good. Position yourself for growth!

Sagittarius:   Your ruling planet Jupiter makes its annual move this month which means growth and opportunities completing for now in one area of your life and a fresh burst of growth in another.

Jupiter has just spent a year of expansion in your friends, groups, community and humanitarian ideals zone. A collection of lower impact planets will keep these arenas active this month and next, especially from 14th when Venus brings pleasure and ease. Mercury whizzes through too from 1st – 17th bringing ideas and fun and New Moon on the evening of 19th offers a fresh start in one or more of these areas of life.

From 10th Jupiter’s new area of growth is your 12th House which can bring about a spiritual flowering, informative dreams, a heightening of empathy and a better understanding of the collective unconscious. This includes healing, self-talk, internet activity and compassion for those less fortunate. What should firey Sag do with all of this? Make your compassion active, consider therapy, be creative and share your fears and dreams. The latter may not come easily but practice makes perfect and the outcomes can be rewarding and healing, both for you and those around you.

On 17th – 18th Mercury joins Jupiter and your mind will be at its most positive. Capture the possibilities that come to mind at that time. From 23rd – 25th the Sun joins Jupiter which is a positive, boisterous wave. Enjoy it. Jupiter is going to be in your 12th House for a year. Growth, expansion and opportunities are going to be just waiting for you to say ‘Yes’. Say it!

Capricorn:   Full Moon on 5th raises dilemmas between domestic and status needs. Your ruling planet Saturn gets shaken up by Mars from 7th – 11th too but this all falls into insignificance from 10th when Jupiter changes sign.
For the past year Jupiter has been expanding your father, career and social status zone but its focus now changes, as it moves into your 11th House.

Meanwhile Venus helps your professional standing or status from 14th when people in positions of authority view you in a positive light. If you need favours from them, just ask. From 22nd Mars jumps in too, sharpening your ambitions and desire to make headway in the world.

New Moon on the evening of 19th falls in your father, career and social status zone too. This marks a new cycle in your public life. Make plans that will help your worldly ambitions in the month and year ahead.

Jupiter’s new position in your 11th House offers expansion through friends, groups and community. People who are philosophical, possibly religious or from other countries or cultures could also come into your life. And they will enrich your world and make it wider. Joining or starting a group or community project or campaign could bring you growth. Be open to collective nourishment. Sitting and waiting for opportunities would be a waste. Carve some out yourself and include others. That Jupiter wind is behind you all year!

Aquarius:   Venus and Mars continue to inflame your passions and urge for transformation until 22nd. You will want to try and be fair in situations where resources are shared too. On 14th Venus leaves Mars behind though and moves into your 9th House, heightening your attraction to different philosophies, countries and cultures and the people from them.

New Moon on 19th breathes fresh wind into your sails on the travel, study, ethics and legal front this month and Mars follows up on 22nd providing the energy to sustain whatever you started.

But the big new focus is in your 10th House of father, career and social status. From 10th Jupiter is taking residence. A growth in worldly status could be yours, as could career expansion or freedom from all that. What would you like to achieve in the world? You can charm the birds from the trees in the year ahead, including big influential ones! And if you happen to be influential yourself, extend your benevolence as far as you can.

Mercury joins Jupiter from 17th – 18th and your awareness of all your possibilities in terms of status is heightened. Keep a note of all the ideas that come up at this time. The Sun joins Jupiter from 23rd – 25th and your optimism and courage will be high. Let the world see it! And prepare for a year of growth and opportunities ahead!

Pisces:   Relationships and partnerships (business and pleasure) continue to be creative and even passionate up to 22nd as Venus and Mars smoothe and fire your interactions. On 14th Venus glides into your 8th House of transformation and helps you to relate to yourself and others dealing with birth, sex and death. You may also benefit from ‘the money of others’ in some way and from sharing.

The 8th House is being activated by Mercury and the Sun and later Mars too which generate ideas, creative acts and determination to make sure resources are used and distributed as best they can be. You may also find yourself dealing with taxes, debts and inheritances too. Also, have you made a will or thought about that? How you share your resources now, matter too. New Moon on 19th marks a fresh start here and would be a good time to take action.

The big shift this month though is Jupiter changing signs and solar Houses. On 10th, Jupiter planet of growth, expansion and opportunity flows into your 9th House where it will stay until November 2018.

Your 9th House rules travel (physical and metaphysical), religion and philosophy, deep study, different cultures, ethics, principles, in-laws, publishing, the internet, legal matters and ‘the truth’ whatever that means to you. Your outlook, world view and understanding are about to expand. Jupiter in your 9th House can widen your horizons, free you and fill you with optimism. The world can be a welcoming place. Throw away those slippers and let it show 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).

Aries:   Your ruling planet Mars leaps into action in a fresh part of your solar chart on 5th. And its new agenda is work, health, service to others and daily routine. Your determination to get things done will be high. And if your health needs taking in hand, now is a good time to get started.

Mercury helps communications at work from 10th onwards. This is good for physical movement too, so if a new exercise routine would be helpful, the wind is behind you.

The Sun generates a creative approach towards work and daily routine until 22nd and Venus adds pleasure from 20th onwards. If you are preoccupied with other things early in the month (perhaps the nice Venusian flow in your romance, children and creativity zone), take the opportunity of New Moon on 20th to kick-start a new regime. What do you need to incorporate (or get rid of) in your daily routine for your own well-being?

Give and take in relationships is high-lighted from 16th – 30th when Jupiter in your partnerships zone is pushing for growth and Uranus in your sign wants uncompromised freedom. Finding a comfortable place in the push and pull of this axis is part of your challenge this month.

Pluto goes direct in your father, career and social status zone on 28th. Your five-month review is complete and you should now be clearer about how power should be used professionally or regarding father figures. You should also be better informed about what ambitions you truly want to pursue. And Pluto is now at hand to pursue them!

Taurus:   Your ruling planet Venus is smoothing your mother and home zone until 20th. Home in every sense should be a source of pleasure, be that the building you live in, its emotional dynamics, your country, Mother Nature or our planet. Relationships with mother figures go well too. You will want to beautify your home and offer its pleasures to others, perhaps by entertaining.

A dilemma between romance and friendship could crop up at Full Moon on 5th – 6th. Or could it be conflicting demands between personal creativity and group achievement? Mars leaps into action in your romance, children and creativity zone also on 5th. Energy will be bouncing around here, joining the Sun which has been warming things up for two weeks beforehand.

Passion or conflict are two of the possible outcomes, perhaps both. New Moon on 20th marks the beginning of a new year here too. Make some resolutions to help bring about what you hope to find in your love life and creative life in the month and year ahead.

Pluto goes direct in your travel, philosophy, cultural and ethics zone on 28th. Having reviewed matters here over the last five months, you can now put your conclusions into action. Publishing and your online life come into this too. Which of these areas have you decided to transform?

Gemini:   You will be communicating with charm this month as Venus softens your style and smile until 20th. Relationships go well too with siblings and neighbours and short journeys should be pleasurable.

Meanwhile your ruling planet Mercury goes direct on 5th and moves into your 4th House of mother and home on 10th. Mars jumps in too on 5th to join the Sun. Home in its broadest sense is the focus this month. Your determination to forge ahead with domestic projects will be strong, as will your active concern for mother figures in your life and possibly your urge to nurture others. You will also be keen to prioritise your own emotional needs and personal development.

Venus joins these planets too on 20th, adding pleasure to the mix. And New Moon falls in your mother and home zone, also on 20th. This is the beginning of your domestic new year. Make resolutions towards a home that will meet your emotional needs in the month and year ahead.

You may feel a bit restricted around 24th – 26th when Mercury squares Saturn but on 28th Pluto goes direct in your joint funds, intimacy and sharing zone. One or more of these areas has been under review since late April and now you should know how to move forward. Move forward!

Cancer:   Your finances continue to look good until 20th and recent mix-ups get sorted out as Mercury goes direct on 5th. Mars changes signs on the same day, ready to tackle communications, physical movement and dealings with neighbours and siblings.

Your mental energy will be high and if you have been thinking about learning a new language, undertaking other studies or starting a writing project, your determination now should carry you through. Mercury, the Sun and Venus add their energies too as the month unfolds. And New Moon on 20th marks a fresh start in some way. Short journeys should be enjoyable too.

From 16th – 30th Jupiter which is pushing for growth in your mother and home zone is opposite Uranus which is pushing for change and freedom in your father, career and social status zone. Finding a comfortable compromise between these two opposing needs is part of your challenge during the second half of this month.

From 22nd the Sun tilts the balance towards expressing yourself more fully in the home or with mother figures. Other planets follow suit next month. Meanwhile Pluto goes direct in your partnerships zone on 28th. Your review of relationships and partnerships is now complete and you can start to make the necessary changes you have identified.

Leo:   Venus is still boosting your charm rating and the waves continue to part to let you through until 20th. Your finances should then start to look rosier as Venus glides into your 2nd House of money, possessions, security and values. Things may look a little rockier though from 3rd – 5th and 28th – 30th when joint or shared finances or the unrealistic expectations of others (or your own) create confusion.

When Mars jumps into your finance zone from 5th, your finances become a big focus. You will find the energy and determination to increase your sense of security. This may not necessarily be about money. Your values, self-esteem and creativity can provide a sense of security too. Be open to all of these possibilities. New Moon on 20th also falls here and marks the beginning of your new financial year – a good day to make a new budget!

Your ruling planet the Sun squares Saturn from 12th – 14th which may feel restrictive but Venus, Saturn and Uranus form a flow of creative energy at the same time. This is good for self-expression, romance, children, creativity, travel, studies and publishing.

Your work, health, service to others and daily routine change gear on 28th when Pluto goes direct. One or more of these areas has been under review since late April and the way is now clear for you to put your conclusions into action!

Virgo:   The Sun ball remains in your court this month until 22nd, radiating warmth, optimism and freer self-expression. On 5th Mars leaps into your sign too adding extra dynamism and determination to your creative self-expression. You may find yourself being more assertive and this is fine. Your ruling planet Mercury also goes direct on 5th and you may feel the benefit of the double gear change that day.

Full Moon early on 6th (with the build up on 5th) falls in your relationships and partnerships zone, creating an emotional high tide. New Moon in Virgo follows on 20th, marking the start of your emotional New Year. Make resolutions that will help to generate what you hope to find in your emotional life in the year ahead.

Venus is in your sign from 20th making you darling of the zodiac for the rest of the month. Your charms will be at their highest and you will attract others to you. (Although Neptune’s involvement from 28th – 30th is less easy to handle, raising questions about pleasure versus ideals).

Pluto goes direct on 28th in your romance, children and creativity zone. One or more of these areas has been under review since late April and you can now bring transformation to where it is needed.

All in all, the world is looking fresh and new. Many Happy Solar and Lunar Returns!

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

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

Your ruling planet Venus makes dealings with friends, groups, community and humanitarian ideals pleasurable up to 20th. And Mercury going direct on 5th helps to clear up any recent misunderstandings. Then creativity behind the scenes takes over as a more private pleasure.

Mars is already active here from 5th and your inner-workings can be accessed and worked on. Counselling and therapy can be very effective at this time. Your compassion towards others will also be strong and this could leap into action too. Be sure to check first with the recipient what is needed.

Jupiter in your sign opposes Uranus from 16th – 30th and your need for personal growth runs counter to your need for freedom and excitement in partnerships (or your partner’s need for them). Pluto goes direct on 28th in your mother and home zone. And you should now be clearer about how power should be used at home and in dealings with mother figures. Your personal development journey will be ready to recommence too. Fasten your seat belt!

Scorpio:   Venus spends the first three weeks of the month in your father, career and social status zone. Ambitions go well and if you need support from people in authority, just ask (from 6th – 20th). They are likely to look on you favourably during this period. Mercury goes direct on 5th too, helping to clear up any recent misunderstandings in your public life or with father figures.

Full Moon early morning on 6th (with the build-up on 5th) could highlight a clash between romance and friendship. Or could it be conflicting demands between personal creativity and group achievement?

The main focus this month is your 11th House of friends, groups, community and humanitarian ideals. The Sun has been encouraging creativity here since late last month. And on 5th Mars jumps in too. Collective projects grab your imagination and you may find yourself feeling more political than usual. If you have been thinking of joining a group, now would be a great time! New Moon on 20th falls in this area of your chart too and marks a fresh start. Go with it!

Your ruling planet Pluto goes direct in your communications zone on 28th. A review has been taking place since late April on how you think and how you express (or do not express) yourself. This may have brought up difficult things to look at. Luckily, Scorpion resilience and self-honesty always carry you through difficult waters.

From 28th you can start applying your conclusions about what in your thinking or communications now needs transformation. And be sure to remember, it is not a weakness getting or asking for help from others. We are all human.

Sagittarius:   Your ruling planet Venus is smoothing the way in your travel and ethics zone until 20th. Journeys should be pleasant as are dealings with people from different countries and cultures. Legal and publishing matters look positive too from 6th – 20th.

Mercury goes direct and Mars changes sign on 5th. And this month’s boost of energy is in your father, career and social status zone. The Sun has been keeping things warm since last month and Mars now adds determination to achieve your ambitions. From 20th Venus attracts a good response from others here too.

Your ruling planet Jupiter is opposite Uranus from 16th – 30th and your need for growth through friends, groups, community and humanitarian ideals, clashes with your need for unrestricted personal freedom, especially regarding romance, children and creativity… Find the place that is most comfortable for you along this axis.

Pluto goes direct in your finance zone on 28th. This marks the end of your financial review that started late April. Your values, need for security and self-esteem need to be reflected in your approach towards finances. Hopefully more aware of these, you now know how to proceed.

Capricorn:   Mercury goes direct on 5th and Mars leaps into a new area of your solar chart on the same day. This is a new call for action regarding travel, deep studies, belief systems, different cultures, ethic, legal matters and publishing. Your determination to make headway will be strong and you will find energy to give to one or more of these areas and get energised by them too.

Meanwhile your joint finance zone looks good until 20th 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 from 28th – 30th when Venus opposes Neptune and unrealistic expectations or a lack of clarity may trip things up.

Jupiter opposes Uranus during the second half of the month. The urge for growth in your worldly standing clashes with the changes taking place in your domestic sphere and personal development. There can also be a clash, with or between, mother and father figures.

Pluto goes direct in your sign on 28th. This completes a five-month review of what further transformation needs to take place with you. With this new self-awareness, move forward.

Aquarius:   Mercury goes direct in your opposite sign on 5th which helps communications in relationships and partnerships to improve. Venus is helping to smooth the way here too until 20th and you will find pleasure through partners.

Mars also changes sign on 5th and moves into your joint funds, sharing and intimacy zone. This will energise you to claim any money which may be owed you. Sharing and intimacy will be more active areas too: be that passion or conflict. Venus intervenes here too from 20th, adding harmony and pleasure to the mix. You may also benefit from ‘the money of others’. And New Moon on 20th falls here too, marking a fresh start in some way.

Jupiter opposes your ruling planet Uranus from 16th – 30th when your need for growth through friends, groups or community, clashes with your need for freedom of expression. Or romance and friendship pull in opposite directions.

Pluto goes direct on 28th behind the scenes and the review of your inner-workings is complete. Your unconscious depths are available for creative work and your hunches can inform you how best to express your compassion.

Pisces:   Venus is in your work, health and service to others zone until 20th. This makes relations with colleagues and daily companions pleasant and your health should be good, as long as you do not over-indulge. Mercury goes direct here too on 5th, helping to clear up any recent misunderstandings.

Full Moon is in your sign on the morning of 6th, so the big build up is the night of 5th. Mars leaps into your opposite sign on 5th too, joining the Sun which has been keeping things warmth since late last month. Mercury joins in too from 10th and Venus from 20th. The significance of your opposite sign is that it is to do with relationships and partnerships. So this is the BIG focus this month.

New Moon on 20th is also in your partnerships zone and marks a fresh start in relationships. Challenges arrive from 19th – 30th when a series of personal planets oppose your ruling planet Neptune. Take this as a helpful (albeit uncomfortable) testing of your ideals. If you have a tendency towards escapism, this will be challenged too.

Pluto goes direct on 28th in your friends, groups, community and humanitarian ideals zone. A review has been taking place in one or more of these areas since late April which is now complete. The use of power in any of these arenas may have been under question or you may have identified an area that needs transformation. You can now put your conclusions into action.

Aries:   Venus spends most of the month (from 1st – 26th) in your mother and home zone. Home in every sense should be a source of pleasure, be that the nest you live in, its emotional dynamics, your country, Mother Nature or our planet. Relationships with mother figures go well and your own nurturing instincts may be more active too. The urge to beautify your home will be strong and sharing its pleasures with others perhaps through entertaining, goes well too up to 14th.

From 14th – 17th Venus gets caught up in a T-square (some tension) with Jupiter and Pluto and you may find yourself making an effort to create harmony in partnerships. Venus goes on to square Uranus (which is still in Aries) from 22nd – 24th when you may surprise yourself and others.

Your ruling planet Mars stays in Leo all month, activating romance, children and creativity. You may also be more attracted to speculating and taking risks than usual…

New Moon on the evening of 21st is also in this part of your solar chart which happens to also be a total solar eclipse. The impact of eclipses can be felt for a few months before and after the event. So romance children and creativity are highlighted during this period.

Mercury goes retrograde on 13th in your work and health zone. Avoid signing anything important until after September 5th if possible. Aspects of your daily routine, work and health need rethinking. Rethink them!

Education, travel, legal and ethical matters start to move forward from 25th as Saturn has completed its review of past miscalculations. With head now straight, move forward.

Taurus:   Home in its broadest sense is the focus this month. Your determination to forge ahead with domestic projects will be strong, as will your active concern for mother figures in your life and possibly your urge to nurture others.

The New Moon and total solar eclipse also fall in this area of your chart which marks a big swing (hopefully an upswing) in these areas of your life. Self-nurture and personal development come into this too. You may have felt this starting in the last month or two and its effect will continue into the coming months.

Your ruling planet Venus adds ease and charm to your communications, short journeys and dealings with neighbours and siblings from 1st – 26th, with just a short period from 14th – 17th when pleasing or over-pleasing others may become an issue.

From 22nd – 24th Venus squares Uranus which brings unexpected attractions or interactions. Then on 26th it too moves into your mother and home zone, making you keen to make your home a place of harmony. Saturn goes direct on 25th and ‘the money of others’ may be a little less hard to come by. You may also be more open to intimacy and sharing.

Mercury goes retrograde in your romance, children and creativity zone from 13th. Your communications or movements in these areas need further thought or looking at again. The Sun keeps things warm though from 22nd until Mars pushes things forward next month…

Gemini:   Your ruling planet Mercury is keeping your head busy in your mother and home zone this month. Communications in or about the home or mother figures could be on the cards, as could house moves or changes within the home. On 13th Mercury goes retrograde and any of the matters above may need re-thinking. Be very clear in your communications.

Venus in your 2nd House of money and security gives a rosier glow to your finances up to 26th. But there may be demands on your finances from others around 14th – 17th. Love affairs, children, recreation and speculation are possible drains on your pocket. From 26th however, you could in fact benefit from ‘the money of others’.

The main emphasis this month though is in your 3rd House of communications. Mars is helping you to be more forthright than usual – at least more assertive and perhaps even argumentative at times. Mars also fills you with determination to put your plans into action.

The total solar eclipse on 21st also falls in this area of your chart, bringing the unexpected in some way. Short journeys, trading, dealings with neighbours and siblings and physical movement could take an unexpected turn. Trying new forms of physical movement with friends or groups or following up a friend’s suggestion to try something new, is a good way to direct this energy.

On 25th Saturn goes direct on your relationships and partnerships zone, completing a four-month review. Apply your conclusions!

Cancer:   Venus spends the first 26 days of the month in your sign, making you darling of the zodiac! Your charms will be even stronger than usual and others will find it hard to resist your requests, especially from 1st – 14th.

14th – 17th is trickier as partners and your domestic sphere clash but Venus moves on to more exciting things from 22nd – 24th when ambitions, father, career or status matters take you by surprise. Steer a creative path over unexpected events.

Full Moon on 7th falls in your joint funds, sharing and intimacy zone. Mars is close by which raises the temperature and determination to get what you want…

The biggest focus this month though is in your finance and security zone. Your energy and determination to make headway are strong and New Moon which is also a total solar eclipse on 21st falls in this arena, bringing the unexpected.

Security need not be a financial thing. Creativity or values which give a sense of security can be just as important and being internal, they are less vulnerable to changes of situation. It can be helpful to reflect on this in the coming months. You may have already begun…

Saturn goes direct on 25th in your work, health, service to others and well-being zone. The responsibilities and possible restrictions are still there but now at least they are moving forwards and so can you.

Leo:   The Sun ball remains in your court this month until 22nd, radiating warmth, optimism and freer self-expression. Venus enters your sign too on 26th heightening your charms. But the main event of the month is the New Moon and the total solar eclipse in Leo on 21st.

New Moon in your sign marks the beginning of your personal new year. So when this also happens to be an eclipse with Mars nearby and Uranus having a say too, events could get interesting! You may have felt this coming and its effects may be felt for up to six months.

On 3rd Uranus goes retrograde in your 9th House, taking you back to review how true you have been to yourself in your studies, in travel and in legal and ethical matters. You have until early January to think this through.

Meanwhile Mercury is busying your head with thoughts about finance and security. On 13th it goes retrograde to review recent ideas and communications about these. If anything needs signing, do it before 13th or after September 5th!

And last but not least Saturn goes direct on 25th in your romance, children and creativity zone. You have had since early April to have a good look at one or more of these areas of life. Now you can apply your conclusions!

Virgo:   Uranus planet of change, disruption and revolution goes retrograde in your joint finance zone on 3rd and it is time to re-examine how you have been conducting your finances with regard to others – too much compromise or not enough? You have until early January to work this through so that you can then proceed from a fully authentic position.

Your ruling planet Mercury changes direction too on 13th when it goes retrograde until early September. Be very clear in all your communications and make sure you have fully understood others. Revising how much time and attention you give to physical movement can be helpful too.

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

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

Venus makes dealings to do with friends, groups, community and humanitarian ideals pleasurable up to 26th, with a brief exception from 14th – 17th when individual creativity clashes with group objectives.

The solar eclipse on 21st falls in your spiritual, compassion and creativity behind the scenes zone. Big changes may occur but you may have already felt them coming for a month or two.

On 25th Saturn starts to move forward on the mother and home front. You have just four more months to deal with the current challenges. Then things will feel much lighter. The end is in sight!

Libra:   Your ruling planet Venus spends most of the month (from 1st – 26th) in your father, career and social status zone. Ambitions go well, especially from 1st – 14th and if you need support from people in authority, just ask. They are likely to look on you favourably during this period.

From 14th – 17th Venus gets caught up with Jupiter and Pluto and you may be tempted to over-please others… While this may seem to work short-term, balance is not achieved in this way, so pursue fairness instead!

Venus triggers Uranus from 22nd – 24th which may make partners seem uncomfortable or unpredictable. Learn what you can from this. Meanwhile things improve with communications, siblings and neighbours from 25th when Saturn goes direct. The brakes are starting to come off.

New Moon and the solar eclipse on 21st fall in your 11th House of friends, groups, community and humanitarian ideals. These areas may be highlighted for some time which may have already started. On 26th Venus glides the into this zone too, helping to smooth things along, with more to come next month!

Scorpio:   Uranus, planet of change, disruption and revolution goes retrograde on 3rd in your work, health and service to others zone, to check whether you have been compromising too much or too little in these areas of life.

On 7th Full Moon falls in your mother and home zone raising emotions. But your ambitions career and social status are centre stage this month as Mars gives you determination to push ahead and New Moon and the solar eclipse on 21st give a memorable swing. Father figures could feature too. All of this aligns with the changes that have been taking place in your work, health and daily routine zone over the past six years.

Venus smooths your travel, studies, ethics and legal zone from 1st – 26th. The first two weeks of the month are especially good for trips, publishing and dealings with people from different countries and cultures. Make time to explore the physical and meta-physical world. From 14th – 17th Venus runs up against your ruling planet Pluto and Jupiter which may be frustrating. Whatever the annoyance: be fair.

Mercury goes retrograde in your friends, groups and community zone on 13th, taking you back to review communications in these areas. The Sun adds energy here from 22nd which should keep up your motivation to think this through.

And finally, Saturn goes direct in your finance zone on 25th. At last you can start to put financial plans in place!

Sagittarius:   On 3rd Uranus goes retrograde in your romance, children and creativity zone. This leads you to review your earlier stance on any one or more of these matters. Have you been compromising too much or too little? Have you yet given your authentic response? You have until early January to mull this over.

Exacting Saturn has been in your sign since December 2014 bringing responsibilities and burdens that test your spirit and resilience. After being retrograde since early April (reviewing your position on identity, self-expression and creativity), on 25th Saturn goes direct. At last you can start applying the conclusions you have come up with during this time. You will be pleased to know that this is Saturn’s last stretch in your sign. Hang on in there!

Meanwhile, Venus softens your joint finance zone until 26th 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 from 14th – 17th when your ruling planet Jupiter squares up to Venus and Pluto. The pull of your own security needs and those of others may clash.

Communications in your father, career and social status zone are busy all month as Mercury hovers back and forth. Make sure all your communications are clear and if anything important needs signing, do it before Mercury goes retrograde on 13th, if you can. Otherwise, hold out until after September 5th.

Capricorn:   Career expansion or matters connected to father figures may not sit comfortably with you from 1st – 3rd and later on from 14th – 17th when partnerships may get involved too. Discomfort can be productive though, in encouraging us to stretch beyond our previous limits. This helps personal development and your range of response.

Full Moon on 7th falls in your finance and security zone, when your income versus ‘the money of others’ could raise emotions… Meanwhile, Venus is smoothing relationships and partnerships until 26th, bringing pleasure (apart from a brief period from 14th – 17th).

Your travel, study and legal zone is gathering in importance. Mercury goes retrograde here from 13th which could mean a change of plan or things having to be re-arranged. Try not to sign any legal documents between 13th and Sep 5th.

The solar eclipse on 21st falls in your 8th House of transformational processes (i.e. birth, sex and death) and joint funds, sharing and ‘the money of others’ including taxes, debts and inheritances. The impact of an eclipse can sometimes be felt in the months leading up to it and the months following, so this should be an interesting period.

Sharing on every level comes into this too. It is a helpful area to explore.

Aquarius:   Your ruling planet Uranus goes retrograde on 3rd in your communications zone. This starts a five month review to look at how true to yourself you have been recently in your communications, including dealings with neighbours and siblings and physical movement. What needs to be changed?

Emotions are high on 7th when Full Moon falls in your sign. Mars is close to the Sun which raises the temperature even higher and your famous Aquarian, cool detachment may be hard to find…

The main emphasis though this month is relationships and partnerships. The Sun and Mars are pushing things ahead which culminate in the New Moon and total solar eclipse on 21st. This can bring about the unexpected which you may have felt coming since late June. Its impact may be felt for at least six months afterwards too. You should be able to ride this better than most as your ruling planet Uranus is in good aspect to the eclipse.

Venus spends the month (until 26th) in your work, health and service to others zone. This makes relations with colleagues and daily companions pleasant and your health should be good, so long as you do not over-indulge. Just 14th – 17th may be tricky. Stick to your path.

Joint finances (including taxes, debts, inheritances) and sharing (including the sharing of yourself on an intimate level) are food for thought. Avoid making commitments between Aug 13th – Sep 5th if you can, when Mercury goes retrograde.

Saturn goes direct on 25th and things start to ease in your friendships, groups and community zone. Dealings with organisations should improve too and barriers to your hopes and dreams may not look quite so insurmountable…

Pisces:   Romance, children and creativity look sweet this month as Venus bestows pleasure and ease up to 26th. Make time for enjoyment. This may not totally apply from 14th – 17th however when Pluto and Jupiter may make things feel a bit over the top. Make sure you are not pleasing others to excess.

Your finances continue to look changeable as Uranus goes retrograde from 3rd. Have your fiscal dealings been truly reflecting your values? You have until early January to fathom this out. The aim being to find your true authentic position on money, possessions and security in line with your values and self-esteem.

Mercury is busy in your relationships and partnerships zone all month and goes retrograde on 13th. A review is needed here too in looking at how you have been communicating with partners.

The big eclipse this month on 21st falls in your work, health and service to others zone. Mars has been adding energy and resolve to this area of your chart since early June. Expect a swing of some kind which may be helped along in some way by ‘the money of others’, sharing or intimacy. Venus gives a rosier glow to work and health from 26th, just as long as you do not overindulge…

Saturn goes direct in your father, career and social status zone on 25th. Hold ups and restrictions should start to relax. Now is the time to start applying your hard-earned lessons. More authority may come your way too, having shown you have the gravitas to handle it.

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 month begins with a tussle as your ruling planet Mars opposes Pluto from 1st – 2nd. Power battles could present themselves with both sides being unwilling to bend to the will of the other. Manage this as fairly and as best you can.

The Sun is highlighting your home for the first three weeks of July and Mars boosts your energy and enthusiasm to see through projects that need to be started or are already underway. We spring into the world from home and our earlier roots and foundations. This is the time to build a good base for yourself, so you can take the world by storm without disruptions from home later on.

Personal development comes into this too. And any areas that did not go as hoped in your early life can be helpfully tackled now too. Commitment to counselling, therapy or any measure to expand your self-wareness and understanding is helpful. And if this is not your thing, make sure nutrients and emotionally nourishing food are on your menu.

Mother figures take on a fresh importance too and your urge to nurture others will be strong. Express it.

You will be communicating with charm this month as Venus softens your style and smile. Relationships go well too with siblings and neighbours, apart from possible misunderstandings around 16th – 24th. Mercury helps communications at home until 6th and then moves into the other main focus this month: your 5th House…

The Sun and your ruling planet Mars jump into this area too on 20th and 22nd which means lots of energy for romance, children and creativity. New Moon on 23rd marks the beginning of a new phase here too. And all being well – fun! Yes for you! About time too!

Taurus:   Your finances should look rosier this month as your ruling planet Venus glides through your 2nd House of money, possessions, security and values from 5th. Things make be a little rockier though from 16th – 24th when joint or shared finances create confusion, especially if friends are involved.

Your communications zone is busy until 20th and you will have bigger than usual reserves of mental energy. There may conflicting demands from your higher mind and need to study or reflect and the daily demands of comings and goings, especially around 9th – 10th.

From 20th the Sun changes focus and moves into your 4th House of mother and home. Mars follows on 22nd and New Moon on 23rd. This marks a new phase, with energy and determination to get your home ‘right’ (which includes self nurture and personal development). Make resolutions for the month and year ahead – to create a home that will support you and meet your needs. Just do it!

Gemini:   Finances start the month with a bang as Mars and Pluto oppose each other from your personal finance and shared finance zone. Taxes, debts, inheritances or ‘the money of others’ is problematic in some way or the fear of change and intimacy may look like a threat to your security or the status quo. Observe your reactions and think about them. This information is useful and can shed light on areas you usually prefer not to look at. Take this opportunity to look!

Venus is in your sign from 5th making you darling of the zodiac for the rest of the month. Your charms will be at their highest and you will attract others to you. (Although Saturn and Neptune’s involvement from 16th – 24th is less easy to handle, raising questions about commitment and ideals). But even in the middle of this Venus and Jupiter team up from 18th – 19th to create pleasure and fun at the same time too.

Your finances are a big focus until 20th and you have the energy and determination to increase your sense of security. This may not be about money. Your values, self-esteem and creativity can provide a sense of security too.

From 20th the focus moves to your communications zone. You will be busy multi-tasking and your mental energy and way with words will be bright and clear. Relations with siblings and neighbours could be lively too. New Moon falls in your communications zone too on 23rd. Are there any trading, speaking or writing projects you would like to try in the year ahead? Lay down the plans now!

Cancer:   A Mars – Pluto opposition starts the month in your identity and partnerships zones from 1st – 2nd. There may be a stand off between you and partners – each being unwilling to accept any show of authority in the other. Battle is fruitless so aim to be self-aware, ethical and fair. By 3rd or 4th this planetary dynamic will have passed.

On a positive note, 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 6th and Mars adds energy and determination until 22nd. If there is a personal agenda that you would like to push forward, this is a helpful time to forge ahead. Though you may run into some opposition around 1st – 2nd and 8th – 10th as Full Moon coincides with a Sun -Pluto opposition but otherwise your willpower will see things through.

Ideas to improve your finances capture your attention from 6th – 25th, as Mercury skips through your 2nd House of money, possessions, security and values. Make a note of them to put into action once the Sun and Mars join in ready for action from 20th (and 22nd). New Moon on 23rd marks a fresh start in this area of life too. Draw up a budget for the year ahead that supports your true values.

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

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

Creativity behind the scenes is a rich area this month. Your energy and determination are strong to complete projects. Your appetite for spiritual practices may also be strong and helpful habits can be put in place. The demands of daily life may feel like an unwelcome intrusion around 1st – 2nd and 8th – 10th. Reconcile them as best you can.

On 22nd Mars leaps into your sign adding extra dynamism and determination to your creative self-expression. New Moon follows on 23rd marking the start of your emotional New Year. Make resolutions that will help to generate what you hope to find in your emotional life in the year ahead. The world is looking fresh and new. Many Happy Solar and Lunar Returns!

Virgo:   Personal creativity, romance and children clash with your friends, groups and community zone on 1st – 2nd. But from 5th Venus is smoothing your father, career and social status zone. People in authority are likely to favour you. If you need their help – just ask. Ambitions should go well too. Apart from a tricky patch between 16th – 24th, the waves part easily for you to make your way ahead!

Friends, groups and community are an active area until 20th and you may be feeling more political or more forthright than usual. From 20th the Sun moves into your 12th House of activity behind the scenes. Mars follows two days later and New Moon on 23rd marks the beginning of a new cycle in the following areas of life: the pain and suffering of others , compassion, healing, spirituality and creativity behind the scenes.

Your ruling planet Mercury is busy this month. From 25th it is in your own sign and you will be at your sharpest and best. Finances are still looking good. Count your blessings!

Libra:   Conflicts between career and home kick off the month as Mars opposes Pluto from 1st – 2nd. Respect differences of opinion and stand your ground. (The 8th – 10th could be tricky too).

From 3rd your father and career zone is top priority for the first three weeks of this month. Ambitions and the energy to achieve them are at hand. You just have to focus and assert yourself.

Your ruling planet Venus is smoothing the way in your travel and ethics zone. Journeys should be pleasant as are dealings with people from different countries and cultures. Legal matters look positive too although for all of these areas of life, things are trickier from 16th – 24th….

From 20th your energies lean towards friends, groups and community matters. Collective projects grab your imagination and you may find yourself feeling more political than usual. Friends, groups and community can also be a source of energy for you. If you have been thinking of joining something, now would be a great time! New Moon on 23rd falls in this area of your chart too and marks a fresh start. Go with it!

Scorpio:   Your ruling planet Pluto has a tricky start to the month as Mars opposes it from 1st – 2nd. This can brew up power-wielding storms which should be avoided. Notice your feelings and reactions but do not ‘act out’! Battles of will could crop up. If this seems to involve others, change the focus to your own dynamics and keep your actions ethical. This could provide a helpful model for other people involved. Lead by self-possessed example.

The month gets easier from 3rd when the focus moves to your travel, studies and philosophy zone. Exploring other cultures and belief systems through travel, meeting others or your own research is a rich and lively area. Your current ideas or opinions maybe challenged around 5th – 6th and around Full Moon from 8th – 9th. Allow that to be the case and respect differences of opinion. Your survival does NOT depend on being ‘right’. Flexibility is a stronger position to take. Try it.

Joint finances and intimacy look positive as Venus smoothes things along all month, apart from a rocky patch from 16th – 24th. Meanwhile on 20th the planetary focus moves to your father, career and social status zone and from 22nd you will have the energy and determination to persue your ambitions. New Moon falls here too on 23rd. Make resolutions for your professional and public year ahead!

Sagittarius:   Finances start the month with a bang as Mars and Pluto oppose each other from your joint finance and personal finance zone from 1st – 2nd. Taxes, debts, inheritances or ‘the money of others’ or money needed by others is problematic in some way. Or changes in a partner’s finances may impact your income and look like a threat to your security or the status quo. This is echoed again around 9th – 10th. Self-awareness is half the battle, observe your reactions.

Conflicting needs for security and freedom may raise their heads too around 5th – 6th when the Sun and Jupiter pull in different directions. Again, ‘know thyself’.

Venus spends most of the month in your relationships and partnerships zone which smoothes things along, apart from 16th – 24th when responsibilities or restrictions kick in. Even so a lovely aspect between Venus and your ruling planet Jupiter manages to generate fun around 18th – 19th.

The Sun and Mars change focus around 20th and travel, studies, ethics and legal matters become the priority. New Moon on 23rd also falls in this area of your chart. Make travel, study or cultural plans for the month and year ahead!

Capricorn:   The month begins on an intense note with a Mars – Pluto opposition in your identity and partnerships axis on 1st – 2nd. There may be a stand off between you and partners – each being unwilling to accept any show of authority in the other. Power surges should be resisted whether in yourself or others. Aim to be self-aware, ethical and fair. By 3rd or 4th this planetary dynamic will have passed.

Conflicts may raise their head again around Full Moon in your sign (early on 9th so the big build up is on 8th) which coincides with a Sun – Pluto opposition from 8th – 10th. This is a second chance to master self-awareness and self-composure if you did not do so well at the start of the month…

Relationships and partnerships are the main focus until 20th and you will find your drive and energy high in these areas, with lots of ideas about the best way to make the most of resources and joint funds.

From 20th the focus moves to ‘the money of others’ shared funds and intimacy. Mars adds to your determination to make headway in these areas from 22nd and New Moon on 23rd marks a fresh start of some kind. Take it!

Aquarius:   The planetary focus during the first three weeks of July is in your 6th House of work, health and service to others. Your daily routine, how you care for yourself on a physical level in terms of nutrition, sleep and exercise and what you include in your daily routine are all up for scrutiny and change! This is the physical side of self-nurture. Give it your full attention.

Meanwhile Venus is making your romance, children and creativity zone look rosy all month. It will not be all plain-sailing though from 16th – 24th when commitment or self-love and honesty or ideals come into play. They are always factors in love affairs but very plainly so during this period. Honesty on both sides is all that is needed.

From 20th the focus moves on to relationships and partnerships. Mars heats things up from 22nd (be that conflict or passion…) and New Moon on 23rd marks the beginning of a new phase in relationships and partnerships. Decide what you would like to find here now in your life and head towards it!

Pisces:   A clash between romance and friendship starts the month with a jolt from 1st – 2nd. Or could it be conflicting demands between personal creativity and group achievement? This uncomfortably but quickly moves on but there is a following echo from 8th – 10th. Meanwhile from 5th – 6th things are flowing well as the Sun aspects your ruling planet Neptune in a favourable way.

Venus is smoothing your mother and home zone too from 5th. Home in every sense should be a source of pleasure, be that the building you live in, its emotional dynamics, Mother Nature or your country or our planet. Relationships with mother figures go well too. There is a hiccough from 16th – 24th when Saturn applies restrictions or responsibilities and ideals are heightened, sometimes unrealistically.

The main focus however is your 5th House of romance, children and creativity. A lot of energy is bouncing around here until 20th. And you will be feeling buoyant and creative.

From 20th the Sun highlights your work, health and service to others zone. Mars adds determination from 22nd and New Moon here on 23rd is the start of your work and health New Year. This is the best time to start a new regime and take your daily routine and self-care in hand. Do it!

Aries:   The month begins with a zing as Venus joins Uranus in your sign from 1st – 3rd. This is exciting, fun and brings the unexpected. Sudden attractions could surprise you. And although fleeting, they make you aware of your need for variety and fun.

Your charms are still at their height until 6th as Venus continues to ease your path. It then moves into your money and possessions zone and which is usually helpful to your income but the lure of beautiful purchases will be stronger too…

Relationships and partnerships also start to get easier from 9th when Jupiter goes direct in your opposite sign. This marks the end of a four month review about where true growth lies regarding partnerships and at last you now know where that is and you can move forward.

On 4th your ruling planet Mars leaps into your mother and home sphere. If home improvement plans have been pending, this is your month for action! Self improvement (personal development) is up for grabs too. These areas take off with extra zest from 21st when the Sun and Mercury join Mars adding creative strength and lots of ideas!

On 24th New Moon falls in this area of your chart too and marks the beginning of your domestic New Year. Make resolutions that will help self-nurture and a happy home in the year ahead.

Taurus:   There is a shake up at the start of the month (1st – 3rd) as your ruling planet Venus meets Uranus behind the scenes. Make time for creativity as your juices will be full of originality. On 6th Venus glides into Taurus and your charms will be heightened for the rest of the month.

Your powers of persuasion will be strong this month. Mars will be making itself felt in your 3rd House of communications. This makes you more assertive than usual but others may not notice, with your Venusian power to please operating at full strength too… The Sun and Mercury add their energy and talents to Mars’s efforts from 21st and Venus – Pluto team work on 23rd – 24th give you full advantage. Siblings or neighbours could be feistier than usual but so could you.

Thoughts and creative ideas about security and your finances continue until 21st. They need to be in line with your values. What could you do to get them closer?

On 9th Jupiter goes direct in your work, health and service to others zone. You have had four months to work out where you have been going over the top. This could be about over-working, over-eating or over-indulging in some way. In these cases ‘less is more’. Put your realisations into action.

New Moon on 24th marks the beginning of a new year in your communications, physical movement, siblings and neighbours zone. Make resolutions for your year ahead!

Gemini:   Friends, groups and community provide an exciting start to the month as Venus and Uranus bring excitement and fun! Romance and partnerships look interesting too on 9th when Full Moon, early in the afternoon, in your opposite sign Sag. coincides with Jupiter going direct after four months in retrograde. This helps to bring growth to romance, dealings with children and creativity.

Your ruling planet Mercury is moving quickly this month which is how you like it. It is also in your own sign from 6th – 21st which means you will be on good form. A square with Neptune on 14th may be the only exception when all may not be as it seems or you cannot take what other people say at face value.

The Sun ball remains in your court until 21st radiating warmth, optimism and freer self-expression. But your mind is probably going to be focused on money as Mars jumps into your finance zone on 4th and stays into July. Mars is action oriented and spurs you on to improve your income and security. The Sun and Mercury join in from 21st adding creative energy and fresh ideas to your drive forward. Your values need to be reflected in whatever financial steps you take. Keep them close by.

Cancer:   Venus and Uranus bring surprises to your father and career zone from 1st – 3rd which can shake up your social status too. New ambitions could raise their head, however briefly and the need for change and refreshment is strong.

On 6th Venus moves on to bring pleasure through friends, groups and community, right into July. However pressurised things may be, make time to enjoy these.

Energy levels may have been low recently as the Sun has been away from you for the longest time – but that is about to change. Mars leaps into your sign on 4th and the Sun and Mercury join it on 21st which means three green lights saying – GO!

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!

Full Moon on 9th (14.11 BST) falls in your work and health zone. Be open and attentive to the information your emotions offer. Also on 9th Jupiter goes direct in your mother and home zone. This completes a four-month review on how growth and expansion in these areas and in personal development and self-nurture should be applied. Your conclusions are now clear for you to take forward. Follow them!

Leo:   Venus and Uranus liven up your travel, studies, philosophy and legal zone from 1st – 3rd bringing fresh insights or a sudden attraction to someone or something from a different country or culture. Ethical situations may look different too.

If you have been thinking of starting a new spiritual or creative practice, this would be a great month to begin.

From 6th Venus is smoothing interactions in your father, career and social status zone. People in positions of power or influence will be happy to help you, so do not be afraid to ask. A good aspect between Venus and Pluto on 23rd – 24th is good for work and career and for getting your daily routine in line with your ambitions.

On 9th Jupiter goes direct in your communications zone, taking your mind to a more positive place after four months of going backwards. Physical movement can be helped too and if you had it in mind to learn a new language or communicate in a new way, the winds of Jupiter are behind you.

From 22nd – 27th you may become aware of how your unconscious patterns may have been undermining you. Jupiter is ready to widen your thinking. Iron out any self-sabotage that has been going on and become aware of your full possibilities!

Virgo:   Unexpected events occur in your shared finances or in your intimate life from 1st – 3rd and ‘the money of others’ or how others deal with you financially, could take you by surprise. Sudden attractions ditto!

In terms of your own income, this starts looking better from 9th when Jupiter planet of growth, expansion and opportunity goes direct after four months in retrograde. This has been a time of review about how to best approach expansion. And now you can put your conclusions into action.

Full Moon, also on the afternoon of 9th falls in your mother and home zone, raising emotions about these, your personal development and self-nurture. And on 16th Neptune goes retrograde in your opposite sign of relationships and partnerships, in search of ideals or lost ideals.

Career matters are forefront up to 21st as the Sun and your ruling planet Mercury light and negotiate the way (with perhaps just a hiccough on 14th when all is not clear). Meanwhile from 6th, Venus is enhancing travel and dealings with different countries, cultures, philosophies, publications and legal matters.

From 4th Mars jumps into your friends, groups, community and political zone, where you will both find and give energy and want to get things done. Mercury and the Sun add their energies too from 21st. You have a lot to offer!

On 6th Venus glides into your 8th House of joint funds, intimacy and sharing, helping things along there too. ‘The money of others’ may come your way, sometimes in the form of loans, inheritances or tax rebates or a partner may be more generous, including during intimacy.

The Sun and Mercury intensify these benefits from 21st, adding energy and better communications to the mix. And New Moon on 24th marks a new beginning also in this area of your solar chart. Give what you hope to find.

Jupiter which has been going retrograde in your sign since early Feb goes direct on 9th, indicating that the review of your need for growth in self-expression is now complete and the best way forward should be clear. You have until mid-October to make the most of the opportunities on offer. Be ready for growth and expansion!

Scorpio:   Surprises or unexpected events to do with work, health, service to others or your daily routine, shake things up from 1st – 3rd as Venus and Uranus join forces. Be open to new insights that get thrown up then.

Communications in relationships and partnerships continue to be fruitful up until 6th too. Then ideas about sharing resources and yourself (on an intimate level) occupy your mind until 21st.

Relationships and partnerships continue to benefit as Venus glides into your opposite sign on 6th and smooths things along all month. From 23rd – 24th Venus works together with your ruling planet Pluto to deepen communications in a satisfying way too.

The other area of activity this month is your travel, studies, philosophy, legal and publishing zone. Mars stirs you to action from 4th and the Sun and Mercury join in offering creative energy and ideas from 21st. New Moon falls here too on 24th marking a fresh start and a good time to make resolutions for a wider world in the year ahead. Stretch your horizons!

Sagittarius:   Fun and excitement start the month as Venus and Uranus light up your romance, children and creativity zone from 1st – 3rd. Sudden attractions could grab you, as could unusual recreational activities or creative inspiration!

On 4th Mars jumps into your joint funds zone, spurring you on to take action on shared finances (including taxes, loans, debts and inheritances) and possibly on an intimate level too. From 6th Venus enhances relations with colleagues or daily companions. Health matters could improve too – unless you over-indulge…

On 9th your ruling planet Jupiter goes direct after four months in reverse in your friends, groups and community or political zone. Full Moon falls just one hour earlier (14.11 BST) in Sag. which gives an emotional high tide of a day.

Relationships and partnerships are highlighted until 21st when the focus turns to how they operate on a practical level – in intimacy and financially. New Moon on 24th marks the beginning of a new phase in these areas too. Start as you mean to go on.

Capricorn:   Sudden surprises at home or to do with mother figures or personal development shake things up from 1st – 3rd as Venus and Uranus join forces. On 6th though Venus moves on to enhance your romance, children and creativity zone for the rest of the month, offering pleasure through all three.

Mars jumps into your relationships and partnerships zone on 4th, heating things up.

New Moon on 24th also marks the beginning of a new phase in relating. Make resolutions to help partnerships in the year ahead.

Jupiter goes direct on 9th in your father, career and social status zone. This completes a four-month review of how expansion should go. Apply your conclusions. There may be friction between partnerships and your father and career zone from 22nd – 27th. Be as creative as you can to find a good solution.

Aquarius:   Fun is on the agenda from 1st – 3rd and it is the kind of fun you like as Venus joins your ruling planet Uranus in your communications zone. Make time to be around people.

On 6th Venus glides into your mother and home zone and you will want to enjoy domestic things and perhaps beautify your home or entertain there. Relationships with mother-figures are enjoyable too or perhaps you will enjoy nurturing others.

On 9th Jupiter goes direct in your travel, studies, publishing and philosophy and law zone. Human existence may now seem clearer. Or how you or your activities fit into the scheme of things, may be make more sense. People or philosophies from other countries and cultures have much to show you. Be ready to learn.

Mars jumps signs this month too. On 4th it moves into your work, health and service to others zone. Make the most of this fresh energy to take action in whatever areas need it. The Sun and Mercury add creative energy and ideas from 21st and New Moon on 24th is also in this area of your chart.

This marks the beginning of your work and health New Year. Make some resolutions for the year ahead. This is an excellent time to look at how well you have been tending your physical body and to start a new health regime or a new job. Take action!

Pisces:   Finances are spinning from 1st – 3rd when Venus and Uranus turn things around and catch you unawares. This is not the main focus of the month however as the Sun and Mercury are being creative (and perhaps wanting to move things around) in your mother and home sphere until 21st.

This may not suit you around 4th and 14th when the Sun and then Mercury run up against your ruling planet Neptune. We all have ideals but we need to be practical too

Your ruling planet Neptune goes retrograde on 16th to review how close your current self is to your ideal self. This is not a quick peep. It will take until late November to get the full view. Be open to what you find.

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:   Mercury goes direct in your sign on 3^rd after more than three weeks in reverse.  This helps to clear up communication misunderstandings and after 21^st should help to clarify money, matters too that have been on hold.  Venus is in your sign too all month which makes you darling of the zodiac but you might prefer to describe it as being irresistible to others!  Power plays could emerge from 17^th – 27^th.  Spot your pattern and make equal power-sharing a conscious goal.

Your mental powers will look electrifying as Mercury and Uranus meet together in your sign from 3^rd – 10^th to light up the skies with dashing new ideas!  You may find yourself needing or getting less sleep than usual as your mental energy is so high.  Direct this into projects and get more exercise to avoid it revving round your nervous system.

Your ruling planet Mars is also busy with physical movement and short journeys, trading and communications all month.  Dealings with neighbours and siblings may be succinct and you will make yourself very clear…  Neptune calls for more subtlety from 7^th – 11^th and Saturn and Chiron have other plans from 25^th – 31^st.  But Jupiter puts wind in your sails from 9^th – 14^th!

Uranus – planet of change, disruption and revolution continues in your sign and is helping serious Saturn to integrate new ideas and ways of doing things.  So on a collective as well as an individual level, you are revolutionising the status quo.

May 31^st looks interesting as Venus joins Uranus in your sign bringing sudden attractions or the unexpected.  Mercury and Pluto are working together too bringing depth to self-expression.  Professional finances could be involved or your social status.  Be experimental and keep an open mind.  Life can still surprise you!

Taurus:   Mercury goes direct on 3^rd and immediately gets into a startling meeting with Uranus from until 10^th.  This is in your behind the scenes zone which triggers new ideas and approaches to compassion, spirituality, healing and creativity.  Although some of these ideas may seem a bit way out, from 9^th – 11^th Saturn points out which hold real content and your ideas around these deepen from 31^st.  There may be emotional excitement around then too!

Your ruling planet Venus is working behind the scenes for you all month, helping to integrate unconscious material into consciousness.  This does not always sit comfortably with your present health or work situation, your daily routine and your philosophy.  Travel plans, legal matters or your world view may undergo deep changes which are necessary to make room for your fresh insights.

The Sun continues to warm you as it lights up your self-expression until 20^th.  And from 16^th Mercury steps into Taurus, helping communications and physical movement.  Full Moon is in your opposite sign on 10^th.  Relationships and partnerships may feel more emotional and not entirely within your control.  And perhaps not everything should be under your control.  Only that which is freely given is truly yours.

Mars continues to activate your money and finance zone and new income streams may be possible with this thrust of energy.  New Moon falls in this area of your solar chart too, late in the evening on 25^th.  Roll up those sleeves and make a new budget!  Planetary co-operation may not be apparent from 28^th – 31^st but remember your long-term plan and hold steadfast!

Gemini:   The month before our birthday we are often at lowest ebb as the Sun has been away from us for the longest time.  This year the Sun returns to your sign on 20^th bringing energy and a sense of renewal.  Your birthday is your true New Year, not January 1^st.  (It’s also the perfect time to explore your planets for the year ahead with a fantastic astrologer!)

Mars is revving in your sign all month, making for a dynamic, assertive you!  Apart from Neptune misting up the view from 7^th – 11^th and some planetary challenges around 28^th – 31^st, little can stop you as you forge ahead.  Jupiter is also blowing wind into your sails from 7^th – 11^th and optimism will drive you on.

On 3^rd your ruling planet Mercury goes direct in your friends, groups and community zone.  This opens up communications and startling new ideas may crop up when it meets Uranus from 3^rd – 10^th.  Venus is gliding through the same areas of life making relating enjoyable.  The only possible exception to this is 17^th – 27^th when Jupiter and Pluto get involved and power dynamics could break out around romance, children or joint funds, taxes, debts or inheritances.

New Moon on the evening of 25^th is also in Gemini.  This marks your personal New Year and is a good time to make resolutions to enhance your emotional life in the year ahead.  Mercury teams up with Pluto on 31^st which is an interesting day for other reasons too.  Be open to the unexpected!

Cancer:   Mercury goes direct in your busy father, career and social status zone on 3^rd which helps to clear up earlier misunderstandings.  Venus is in this area of your solar chart too all month and people in positions of power are likely to look favourably on you.  If you know people who could further your ambitions, ask for their help.  The best dates to do this are 4^th – 15^th or after 29^th.

From 17^th – 27^th your public ambitions seem to run in opposition to your need for domestic growth or personal development.  This shows itself in power dynamics in your partnerships zone.  Spot your pattern and make equal power-sharing a conscious goal and keep communications open.  Everyone has a right to voice their feelings and views.  New ideas could emerge around 3^rd – 10^th and get solidified on 11^th and taken further on 31^st.

Full Moon on 10^th falls in your romance, children and creativity zone.  And New Moon on 25^th is in your behind the scenes arena of compassion, spirituality, healing, inner workings and time spent alone.  Mars is active in this area all month too, stirring up realisations from the past.

From 28^th – 31^st Mars is halted by Saturn residing in your area of work, health and service to others.  This triggers Chiron in your travel, legal and ethics zone.  There are opportunities for healing here and a softening of unhelpful beliefs.  Be open to what you are shown and integrate new realisations for a wider view of the world.

Leo:   The Sun continues to light up self-expression in your father, career and social status zone until 20^th and Mercury takes over here from 16^th helping your professional communications and flexibility.  While on a less conscious level, Full Moon on 10^th falls in your mother and home zone which raises emotions around this.

Your travel, studies, legal and ethics zone is highlighted this month.  Mercury goes direct here on 3^rd which helps to sort out important communications and Venus smooths everything along for much of the month.  This can be good for your philosophy and world view and also relations with people from different countries, cultures and belief systems.

Mercury meets up with Uranus in this same higher mind zone from 3^rd -10^th which can revolutionise your outlook or how you communicate in the world.  Have you been thinking of trying a new language, exploring a new religion or philosophy or immersing yourself in a new culture?  If so, do it.  If not, consider putting at least one toe in!

Mars is active in your 11^th House of friends, groups, community and humanitarian ideals.  You will find lots to give and take in these areas.  From 20^th your ruling planet the Sun also moves into this zone, offering warm self-expression to the energy pool.  Saturn and the demands of personal creativity or children may get in the way of all this communal fun which leads you to look once again at sharing, intimacy and joint funds.  Help any areas that need healing.

Virgo:   Many things are happening professionally as Mars lends its determined energies to your ambitions and public standing.  This is not entirely straight forwards however as Neptune clouds issues from 7^th – 11^th.  Despite this Jupiter is pushing for expansion from 9^th – 14^th and your optimism and energy should be high.  When Saturn puts on the brakes from 25th – 29^th, there are opportunities for healing in partnerships.  Be aware of that potential.

The Sun also enters your father, career and social status zone from 20^th helping self-expression and heightening your profile.  This is followed by New Moon on the evening of 25^th which marks the beginning of your Professional New Year.  Make resolutions or a plan that will further your ambitions – professional or social.

The other active area of your solar chart is your 8^th House of joint finances, intimacy and sharing.  Mercury goes direct helping communications from 3^rd and startling new ideas may emerge about how to best use or share resources.  Inheritances, loans, taxes and debts could come into this, as well as money in partnerships.

Venus generally helps to improve joint funds this month, either financially or in smoothing negotiations.  This may not apply though from 17^th – 27^th when power dynamics could get acted out.  Resist the attempts of others to manipulate and of course don’t resort to such tactics yourself!

Libra:   Misunderstandings in partnerships start to clear up from 3^rd when Mercury goes direct after three weeks of mix-ups, possibly including intimacy or joint funds.  Your ruling planet Venus is busy smoothing ruffled feathers in partnerships too all month which should create a bit more room for you to manoeuvre than recently.

New dialogues become possible around 3^rd – 10^th as Mercury and Uranus open up fresh channels of communication and Saturn’s influence around 9^th – 11^th suggest that concrete solutions are available too.

What partners want or your desires in partnerships seem to be diametrically opposed to your growth around 17^th – 27^th.  Power dynamics in relationships are visible too.  Spot your pattern and make equal power-sharing a conscious goal.  The fall-out from this clash will be felt in your mother and home zone or in awakenings about your own needs in terms of personal development.  We know how obliging you usually are but right now, compromising may not be in your best interests.

A Venus and Uranus team-up on 31^st brings surprises in relationships and partnerships which could be a sudden new attraction, new business partnership opportunities or a fresh spark of interest in existing partners.  Whichever it is, enjoy it!

Scorpio:   Work and health matters improve from 3^rd when Mercury goes direct and helps to sort our misunderstandings and issues related to agility either in body or thought.  Mercury meets with Uranus from 3^rd – 10^th bringing new ideas and approaches towards work, health and service to others.  Saturn helps to ground some of these into real possibilities from 9^th – 11^th which you can take a step further on 31^st.

Venus is smoothing the way in relations with colleagues and daily companions.  Conflicting interests demand your attention from 17^th – 27^th when how you think and speak colour your outcomes.  Be open, fair and inclusive, regardless of what you perceive to be your self-interest (but of course do not compromise immediate physical safety).

Full Moon on 10^th is in your sign which will raise emotions.  Matters to do with joint funds or intimacy are active all month too as Mars forges ahead raising energy to negotiate shared finances or passions.  Mars runs into some opposition from 28^th – 31^st when Saturn reminds you of restrictions in your personal finances or self-esteem.  The tension from this opposition bursts out in your romance, children and creativity zone.  There are opportunities for healing in one or more of these areas.

Keep in mind you always have to acknowledge pain, to grow and move forward beyond it.

Sagittarius:   Work and health should continue to improve this month as the Sun continues to bring warmth, light and energy until 20^th and Mercury helps communications and movement from 16^th.  But the main areas of activity are romance, children, creativity and partnerships.

Communications improve in these spheres from 3^rd when Mercury goes direct.  Not only do they improve but startling new ideas come to mind that help to look at existing challenges afresh!  Saturn which is transiting your sign spots ways to make these unlikely approaches possible and by 31^st your understanding of new options will be deeper.

Venus is also easing relations in romantic liaisons and with children.  There may be a hiccough though around 17^th – 27^th when power dynamics temporarily raise their head.  Speculation and sports could also be sources of pleasure this month but team dynamics could be tricky during the same period.

Mars continues to forge its way through your relationships and partnerships zone.  You may find yourself or partners being more assertive than usual but Neptune clouds the picture from 7^th – 11^th.  Your ruling planet Jupiter is on board during this period though and offers the added gift of optimism to your energy and efforts from 9^th – 14^th.

New Moon on the evening of 25^th marks the beginning of your Partnerships New Year.  Make resolutions for a happy year ahead.  28^th – 31^st is a tricky period but the planetary line ups on 31^st bring excitement or surprise which leaves a delightful taste in your mouth as the month ends!

Capricorn:   Misunderstanding and mix-ups with mother-figures and home start to melt and mend from 3^rd when Mercury goes direct.  Venus is in this area of your solar chart all month too, bringing pleasure through beautifying your home or entertaining and sharing it with others.  This might not apply to the period between 17^th – 27^th when conflicting demands (internal or external) come from your father, career and social status zone. 

Power plays abound this month.  Spot your pattern and make equal power-sharing a conscious goal.  The tension created by all of this is an added boost to your personal transformation which is impacting your identity over these years.

New ideas about domestic situations or personal development crop up between 3^rd – 10^th when Mercury and Uranus bring startling possibilities to light.  Your ruling planet Saturn is weighing up the options in a helpful way from 9^th – 11^th and by 31^st the next step is clear.

Mars is busy in your 6^th House of work, health and service to others all month.  New Moon falls here too on the evening of 25^th which would be a great time to put a new health regime in place.  Now what should that include?

Aquarius:   Communications get better after 3^rd as Mercury planet of communication goes direct in your House of communication until 16^th, so much better!  This can apply to physical and mental agility too.  Venus is also gliding through your communications zone all month so you will come across as extra charming and persuasive.

Mercury joins your ruling planet Uranus from 3^rd – 10^th which brings flashes of insight and new ideas.  Thought of learning a new language or trying a new form of exercise?  The planets are behind you.  Keep in mind too that new forms of movement can open up new neural pathways – new avenues of thought in your brain.

Your mental energy will be high during this period and it is helpful to channel this into projects and you may need less sleep and more exercise than usual so that all of this electrical charge does not rev round your nervous system.  Direct it outwards.

The Sun continues to warm your mother and home arenas until 20^th.  Self-expression at home goes well apart from a brief pause on 10^th when Full Moon in your father and career zone draws your attention in the opposite direction.  Mercury moves in too from 16^th which is good for rearranging furniture and having discussions or meetings at home.

Mars is activating your romance, children, speculation, sports and creativity zone all month.  You will have energy to give and receive to these areas of life.  New Moon falls here too on the evening of 25^th which marks the beginning of your Creative New Year.  Make resolutions for the year ahead!  Mars runs into some opposition from the demands of friends, groups or community from 28^th – 31^st which results in pointing a finger at your finances – whether they will be better or worse remains to be seen.

Fun, excitement and possible sudden attractions draw you on 31^st.  Enjoy them!

Pisces:   It’s all happening in your mother and home zone this month.  Mars has got its boots on wanting to push ahead with DIY, nurturing, personal development or projects which are based at home.  Your ruling planet Neptune isn’t fully on board from 7^th – 11^th but Jupiter is fanning the flames of activity from 9^th – 14^th and optimism carries things forward.

From 25^th – 31^st Saturn causes an obstruction to this progress which presses you to acknowledge wounded areas of your own.  With this realisation come opportunities for healing.  Take them.

Your finances are active this month too.  Mercury goes direct here on 3^rd, clearing up misunderstandings.  Uranus is still having an erratic impact though but it could throw up new ideas for generating income from 3^rd – 10^th.

Venus generally helps to improve your income up to 16^th and after 27^th but from 17^th – 27^th the financial demands of others (e.g. joint funds, taxes, debts and inheritances) run opposite to your interests.  A solution needs to be found and going to a mediating body could be the answer.  Avoid power plays and make sure you’re not the one to start them!

The Sun lights up your mother and home zone from 20^th and New Moon falls here on the evening of 25^th which marks the beginning of your Domestic New Year.  Make resolutions to make your home a happy place in the year ahead.

Aries: The Sun ball remains in your court until 19th radiating warmth, optimism and freer self-expression, though you might get distracted by its opposition to Jupiter and square to Pluto around 8th – 9th. This could bring extremes of some kind around partnerships and social status. Full Moon is also in your partnership zone early morning on 11th, so the big build up of this emotional high tide will be on 10th…

You will be happy to know that Venus finishes it’s review through your unconscious from 3rd – 28th and glides back into Aries on 28th. You should now know what you really want and will be in a position to go after it. This applies especially to relationships, creativity and values.

On 14th the Sun joins Uranus in your sign encouraging you to cast cares (and concerns about the opinions of others) to the wind. Venus goes direct the next day too, having worked out what it was that stumped you in late January. This also leads to the kind of terrain you like for action – a clear coast!

Finances may not be as straight forwards as hoped after Mercury goes retrograde on 9th. Avoid signing anything important if possible. Your ruling planet Mars changes its focus from your finances to communications from 21st. Ideas will be buzzing and your powers of persuasion will be strong, albeit more direct than others are used to… Teach what you know. Avoid ego involvement in differences of opinions with others and get plenty of exercise!

 
Taurus: Many things are taking shape in your unconscious and in your creativity behind the scenes zone. Your ruling planet Venus starts the month here but then moves back on 3rd into your friends, groups and community zone to see what steps were or weren’t taken in late January. Venus starts going forwards again on 15th, clutching the realisation it found from back then and moves back into your inner world, helping creativity, from 28th.

Mercury goes retrograde in your sign on 9th which takes your thinking inwards. It’s a time to review how much physical movement you make time for in your life too. Lots of realisations crop up this month as Uranus and the Sun and Mercury bring fresh light to your inner landscape on 14th and fresh insights on 26th.

Mars continues through your sign, adding to your determination until 21st. And your will is super strong around 5th – 6th when Mars and Pluto join forces. Others watch out! On 21st Mars moves into your 2nd House of money, security and values. Financial matters will be high on the agenda then and you may find yourself forging new paths of income.

The month before our birthday we are often at lowest ebb as the Sun has been away from us for the longest time. The Sun brings fresh energy and a sense of renewal from 19th when it moves into Taurus. Your birthday is your personal new year and the perfect time to explore your planets for the year ahead with a good astrologer.

New Moon on 26th is in Taurus too and marks the beginning of your personal New Year. Make resolutions for the year ahead that will bring happiness to your emotional life!

 
Gemini: How you’ve been relating in your friendships, groups and communities is up for review during the first half of the month. An opportunity was missed or mishandled in late January and the reason for this is connected to issues around fathering, career and social status in some way. With luck, you’ll have understood this by the time Venus goes direct on 15th and can apply it to your friendships and groups from 28th.

Saturn goes retrograde too on 6th taking you back to also review your position on relationships and partnerships. You have until late August to dwell on this. Saturn also squares Chiron which can raise old wounds that inform the current difficulty.

Your ruling planet Mercury goes retrograde on 9th and tensions around joint funds, sharing or intimacy are heightened then too.

The mood brightens from 21st when Mars leaps into your sign, ready for action and forward movement. You’ll enjoy this gear change which is the forerunner to the Sun that’s coming to cheer you up next month. Despite all of the dwelling this month, stay hopeful!

 
Cancer: Certain matters need reviewing this month, starting with Venus which begins the month retrograde and leaves your father, career and social status zone on 3rd to seek answers to problems that stem from steps taken late January. The answer lies in your travel and philosophy zone. Was your approach ethical? Or did you overlook cultural or legal matters?

The long-running T-square of the Sun, Jupiter and Pluto hit three of your sensitive spots around 8th – 9th and the conclusion is yet again – something has to give in your relationships and partnerships…

Full Moon early morning of 11th falls in your mother and home zone, shaking roots and foundations. On 14th the Sun and Uranus join forces in your father, career and social status zone where unexpected opportunities or solutions cast a new light on everything.

The following day Venus goes direct and starts to head back to where it left off, clutching new realisations that you can apply to your public sphere from 28th. On 26th more new ideas or events crop up professionally which carry you to the end of the month with a much wider outlook than you had at the start of it. The only limit is ourselves and how we think. Keep that mind open!

Leo: Your travel, studies and philosophy zone is busy all month with Venus heading off backwards on 3rd in search of finding out what went wrong in your intimacy, joint funds and sharing zone in late January. Venus goes direct again on 15th (hopefully with information in hand), ready to apply what has been learnt to your travel, studies and philosophy from 28th.

There can be other awakenings here too when Uranus meets up with your ruling planet the Sun around 14th and with Mercury on 26th. These meet ups can bring fresh light and flashes of insight which help you to reassess where truth lies and how you’ve been looking at things.

Meanwhile, Mars forms a strong aspect to Pluto from 5th – 6th helping you to push your plans around work and career forward. Pluto leaps out forcefully in a less comfortable way around 8th – 9th when the Sun and Jupiter square up to it. Make sure it isn’t your health that suffers in the stresses that may be around then. Mercury goes retrograde in your professional zone on 9th too so try to make any important communications before then or after May 3rd.

Mars heads off into your collective zone from 21st and you’ll find you have lots of energy to give (and receive) from dealings with friends, groups and community. When New Moon falls in your father and career zone on 26th, make resolutions for the year ahead that will help your ambitions!

 
Virgo: Planets keep changing direction in your joint funds, intimacy and sharing zone and it may be hard to keep up with what is happening. Virgos love to pre-analyse everything but just going with what feels right is an equally valid path to take (and often a happier one), so don’t make your decisions before you even have the experience.

Saturn goes retrograde on 6th to review how you’ve been dealing with mother and home, including self-nurture and personal development. Chiron gets triggered off too by Saturn and Venus, raising old wounds around relationships and partnerships. We mustn’t let the past imprison us and although most people try to avoid pain rather than pursue happiness, understanding past pain can help us to move beyond it to a wider future.

Your ruling planet Mercury goes retrograde on 9th too in your travel, legal and studies zone. Examining your philosophy, different cultures and ethics could be part of this review too. On 20th Mercury moves even further back into your joint funds, sharing and intimacy zone to review communications here too. When it meets Uranus on 26th new ways of thinking about things opens up. Accept these new insights!

Relationships and partnerships benefit from Venus passing to and fro this month. This is a second chance to pursue possibilities that you may have passed by in late January.

Mars moves into your father, career and social status zone on 21st, giving you energy and determination to push ahead with your ambitions, be they professional or your socio-emotional status…

 
Libra: Your ruling planet Venus spends half the month going backwards and half the month going forwards and you may feel you’re doing the same. Starting in your relationships sphere, Venus retreats back into your work, health and service to others zone on 3rd, searching for what went wrong late January. Did you make any unhelpful choices back then?

Saturn goes retrograde too on 6th taking you back to review how you’ve been dealing with comminications (and possibly siblings and neighbours). The Sun, Jupiter and Pluto T-square is active too around 8th – 9th making you even more aware of the changes needed at home or in matters connected to mother figures, nurturing and personal development.

Mid-month is eventful. Full Moon early morning on 11th (so the build up is on 10th) is in your sign which raises emotions. And on 14th the Sun and Uranus meet up in your relationships and partnerships zone bringing surprises and prompting you to forego any compromising that may have become a habit.

Venus goes direct on 15th and by 28th is ready to apply the new answers in how you relate to your relationships and partnerships. This may have been about dismissing your own well-being to accommodate others or a daily routine or job that does not serve you well. Whichever it is, self-care is high on the agenda. Honour it!

 
Scorpio: Venus starts the month retrograde in your work, health and service to others zone and moves back into your romance, children and creativity sphere to find what went wrong in late January. Whatever it was has been effecting your work, health or well-being and needs to be looked at again.

Saturn also goes retrograde on 6th in your money and finance zone taking you back to review these too. Budgets may need re-jigging to meet your income or to make a serious purchase possible. Self-esteem can come into this too and it is important not to confuse whatever you are or aren’t paid with your true value!

Your ruling planet Pluto is on good terms with Mars around 5th – 6th which gives you determination to move forward communications in relationships and partnerships. This should be about opening communications, not any kind of pushing or shoving (which might look quicker but completely defeats the object).

Pluto has a difficult time around 8th – 9th and Mercury goes retrograde on 9th too in your partnerships zone. This is an opportunity to look at how you’ve been communicating in partnerships. Do your inner homework on this with full honesty.

Uranus brings flashes of insight to your work and health zone this month, first of all on 14th when it joins the Sun which helps you to look at things in a fresh light and with optimism and then again on 26th when it joins with Mercury, bringing fresh ideas that can change your everyday landscape.

The Sun glides into your partnerships zone on 19th, bringing opportunities for warm self-expression. Take them and make them! And make resolutions for the year ahead on 26th when the New Moon marks your Partnerships New Year!

 
Sagittarius: How you’ve been relating to children and in romance is up for question this month, along with your approach to your own creativity. Venus is going retrograde as the month begins and on 3rd it goes back to find answers to questions you may have answered too hastily in late January. The root of your oversight is connected to issues around mother and home and personal development. Venus goes direct on 15th and by 28th you should have some answers in hand to move forwards with.

Saturn which has been solemnly moving through your sign for some time, goes retrograde too on 6th, taking you back to look once again at identity, self-expression and outlets for that expression. You have until late August to ponder how you’ve been dealing with all of this and how you want to be in the future.

Both Saturn and Venus run into Chiron this month which raise old wounds to do with father, career and social status. Be open to the information on offer.

Mercury goes retrograde in your work, health and service to others zone on 9th and on 20th reaches even further back into your romance, children and creativity zone too. Mars jumping into your partnerships zone catches your attention from 21st. Someone may be feeling more assertive. Could that be you? or your partner?…

 
Capricorn: You will be firing on all cylinders from 8th – 9th when the Sun and Jupiter square up to Pluto which is in your sign. This comes about through conflict between your 4th House of mother, home and personal development and your 10th House of father, career and social status. They are in conflict and you will have to grow to handle them. This is no bad thing and is only painful to the degree that you resist it. You must remain ethical in your behaviour towards others though, even if they don’t!

Your ruling planet Saturn starts going retrograde on 6th, taking you back to explore your inner workings and any self-sabotage that you may have been tripping yourself up with. You have until late August to review where things might be going wrong.

Venus is also retrograde at the start of the month and retreats from your mother and home zone, back into communications. How you were thinking (and speaking) late January may have given cause for this needed review. Dealings with neighbours or siblings could be part of this too. Venus goes direct on 15th and moves back into your mother and home zone on 28th, hopefully better-informed.

Uranus is shaking up your roots and foundations too this month. On 14th it meets the Sun, shedding fresh light on your mother and home zone and on 26th it meets Mercury when new ideas flash into existence. Be open to what they ignite!

 
Aquarius: Home and nurturing are important this month and although you love being out in the world, it’s still important to remember that we spring into the world from our home, roots and foundations. Give yours the attention they deserve.

Mars is also busy in this area of your life which can give you the energy and determination to tackle jobs that you’ve been putting off… From 5th – 6th it joins forces with Pluto which is rumbling along in your unconscious which means any mental blocks or obstacles can be moved out of the way. Then get moving before Mars moves on to new fields on 21st!

Pluto gets a ruder awakening around 8th – 9th when the Sun and Jupiter challenge it in their conflict about how the mind should be used and how literal one should be about the truth.

Mercury heads backwards on 9th in your mother and home zone. Try to avoid signing anything important after that and take the opportunity to look at how helpful your communications and movements have been regarding mother, home and personal development recently. All is not lost, as New Moon on 26th also falls in this area and marks your Domestic New Year. Make resolutions for the year ahead that will help you achieve a happy home life!

 
Pisces: Your finances are in fluctuation this month as Venus comes and goes, looking for a reference point in your value system. Your charms will be high too from 3rd – 28th. You may not have played your charms to their best advantage in late January but a second chance to do so comes up once again after 15th.

There could be unexpected events around finance and security as the Sun and then Mercury meet up with Uranus on 14th and 26th. Security can be a state of mind and events this month could help to make that much more visible. Be open to new insights about your relationship to money. It is also crucial that you don’t confuse your value with what you are or aren’t paid. Welcome new ways of thinking about this. There could possibly be new ideas for income generation too.

Saturn goes retrograde in your father, career and social status zone on 6th. This marks the beginning of a review of how you have been dealing with these areas, how you want to deal with them in the future but they may not be easy to deal with in the present. Saturn and Venus also touch on Chiron this month, bringing up past inner wounds. Painful as this is, it’s a gift if you can work with it. And any therapeutic support you can find would be very helpful to you.

Mars leaps into your 4th House of mother and home from 21st giving you energy for home improvements, personal development and nurture projects. Now what might they 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: The month before our birthday we are often at lowest ebb as the Sun has been away from us for the longest time. Arians may not have felt this so keenly as other signs this year, as your ruling planet Mars has been firing your engines since late January. And when it joined Uranus at the end of last month and still at the beginning of this, you have been pretty much an unstoppable force.

The Sun brings fresh energy and a sense of renewal from 20th on the Spring Equinox which is always when the Sun moves into Aries and you, more than any other sign, know how to get things started. The Sun returning to your sign is also an excellent time to explore your planets for your year ahead, with a good astrologer!

Venus has also been in Aries since early Feb but on 4th it goes retrograde, taking you back to re-examine whatever was started late January. More on this next month, but for now delve into what you started. If youre not sure what this refers to, it could be to do with relationships, creativity or values.

Mars leaps out of Aries on 10th and gets going in your 2nd House of money, possessions and security. Your entrepreneurial spirit will be strong and you may find yourself in pursuit of a new strand of income. On 13th Mercury enters your sign giving you a silver tongue and you could probably talk anyone into anything

In addition to the Sun revitalizing you from 20th, New Moon early morning on 28th (03.58 BST) is in Aries and this marks the beginning of your personal New Year. Make some resolutions for the year ahead that will benefit your emotional life. Many Happy Solar Returns!
Taurus: Many things are happening to your friends or the groups and communities that you are a part of. Your ideals are high about these and humanitarian movements as the month begins and your words can have a healing effect around 10th -11th.

The main emphasis of the month though is in your 12th House of spirituality, compassion, healing and creativity behind the scenes. Your ruling planet Venus is here but it goes retrograde on 4th, taking you back to review your intentions late January. You have until mid-April to revisit whatever it is that needs your further attention. And all being well you can start to make progress once again from mid-May.

From 13th Mercury helps behind the scenes with ideas and communications, then from 20th, the Sun brings new creative or spiritual realisations. New Moon early on 28th also falls in this area of your solar chart. Take it as a fresh start for new creative or spiritual projects, active compassion and self-healing. If you’ve been considering a new spiritual practice, this is a perfect time to start.

On 10th Mars moves into Taurus, giving you access to new wells of energy and determination. If you feel you’ve been complacent with yourself over the winter, now is the time to take yourself in hand and push forward for a more active and dynamic you!
Gemini: Your social status starts the month on a misty high as Sun and Neptune conspire to give you top mystique in the eyes of the world. Any professional negotiations should go well too if you aim for the first ten days of the month. Your ruling planet Mercury gets weighed down by restrictions for a few days after that but surfaces triumphant from 13th in your friends, groups and community zone where it has much to say and possibly not all that quietly!

This is the busiest area of your solar chart this month. Venus goes retrograde here from 4th for you to review how you were dealing with these areas late January. Adjustments need to be made and you have until mid-May to get things back to how they should have been.

The Sun adds warmth and light to your groups and friendships from 20th and you’ll enjoy expressing yourself here. Mercury makes good aspects to Uranus on 26th and Saturn on 29th here too which will be fun and productive respectively. New Moon early on 28th marks a fresh start in some way in these areas of your life. Set the compass for happy communal times ahead!
Cancer: Although the month begins with more comings and goings in your travel, studies and ethics zone, the main focus gradually moves to your 10th House of father, career and social status. You’ll be feeling more assertive about pushing for what you want with Mars urging you onwards until 10th. Saturn is on board too and adds the discipline needed for a concrete outcome.

On 13th Mercury joins the party, adding to your communication skills and bringing fresh ideas. The Sun sheds light on everything here from 20th and New Moon early on 28th marks the beginning of your professional New Year too and possibly puts you in the public eye in some way on that day. If you have ambitions in mind, make your plans on this New Moon.

Venus goes retrograde on 4th also in your busy public zone. This takes you back to review issues that were around late January which could be to do with relationships, creativity or values. You have until mid-April to reflect on this and then you can start applying your conclusions and finally move forward mid-May.

Mars leaps into your collective zone from 10th. You’ll have energy to give to friends, groups and community and you’ll feel stimulated by these areas of life too. If battles of will loom on the horizon, look for common interests to channel this strong energy forward positively. Or embark on a challenge together side by side.
Leo: Your joint funds, sharing and intimacy zone starts the month with high ideals as your ruling planet the Sun briefly joins Neptune. Making allowances for others is important but your needs should be voiced too if others seem to have forgotten them. Discussions or negotiations on these topics go best from 4th – 10th.

From 10th Mars is forging through your 10th House of father, career and social status. This is a fresh burst of energy to push forward and build whatever projects and ambitions have been on your mind. Your determination and stamina will be high which helps to achieve success.

Meanwhile your 9th House of exploration: both physically in terms of travel and metaphysically as in studies, philosophies, different cultures, in-laws, ethics and legal matters is very active all month. On 4th Venus goes retrograde here, taking you back to review your intentions late January that set things in motion. You have until mid-April to work out what changes need to be made.

The Sun moves into this exploration zone too on 20th and New Moon early on 28th is the best day for making new resolutions for these areas of your life and getting them started. Set your sights far and wide!
Virgo: Relationships and partnerships continue to loom large for the first three weeks of February with ideals riding high from 1st – 2nd. And your ruling planet Mercury has a good chance of negotiating up to 10th. Negotiations are for both sides to express and reconcile their needs and the end result should not be an act of martyrdom on your part.

Full Moon on 12th is in your sign which raises emotions about yourself in relation to others. And Mars moves into your travel, studies and ethics zone on 10th, urging you to press forward with your explorations (geographical, academic or cultural) and with your principles or legal matters.

On 13th your ruling planet Mercury moves into the most active part not your solar chart this month – your 8th House of joint funds, sharing and intimacy. This includes taxes, debts and inheritances. And also the transformational processes of life: birth, sex and death.

Venus goes retrograde in these areas from 4th taking you back to review the approach you took late January. Further adjustments need to be made by mid-April but they may not start to show until mid-May.

On 20th the Sun moves into this shared area bringing more things to light. New Moon on 28th is also here, marking the beginning of a new cycle. Start as you mean to go on!
Libra: Relationships and partnerships are the hot-bed of activity this month as Mars continues its revolutionary role with Uranus that began late last month. You have until 10th to continue your push forward. After that Mars moves into your 8th House of joint funds, intimacy and sharing and starts shaking things up there.

Mercury planet of thought and communication also moves into your partnerships zone on 13th helping discussions along and offering new ways of looking at things.

On 4th your ruling planet Venus goes retrograde to take you back to review compromises made late January. Should you have made them? Take some time to ponder this. Even so, things will not be resolved until mid-May.

Work, health and service to others takes up your attention too until 20th. Then the Sun moves into your relationships and partnerships zone too, bringing fresh light to ongoing situations and the energy to tackle them afresh. New Moon early on 28th falls here too which marks the beginning of a fresh cycle in relationships and partnerships. This is an opportunity to make a fresh start in partnerships. Take it with both hands.

Scorpio: Ideals and dreams around romance, children and creativity start the month and Mercury helps you to communicate them until 10th and the Sun helps to open and warm your expression until 20th.

The growing focus however is in your 6th House of work, health and service to others. Mars continues to heat things up and push things forward up to 10th but Venus goes retrograde on 4th to review whatever you set in motion late January. Your approach needs to be adjusted and you have until May to work out what changes are needed on your part.

The Sun moves into your work and health zone too on 20th and New Moon early on 28th is the perfect day to make new resolutions about these areas for the year ahead. As well as work and health in general, this includes your daily routine, colleagues, daily companions and pets.

From 25th – 30th Jupiter squares your ruling planet Pluto which suggests your inner-workings or self-talk are not supporting your need for security or self-esteem. Try to get to the bottom of this self-sabotage.

Mars leaps into your relationships and partnerships zone on 10th bringing energy, drive and passion to the forefront. Mars can also stir up conflict, so if you feel its heat heading in that direction, take time out to think of joint goals that you could use this energy to work on together, side by side not head to head.
Sagittarius: The home front starts on a high at the start of the month as the Sun and Neptune join forces from 1st – 2nd to make dreams come true. Uranus is also opposite your ruling planet Jupiter on 2nd, checking whether you’ve been compromising too much in group ventures or with friends.

On 4th Venus goes retrograde in your romance, children and creativity zone. The approach you took late January needs reviewing and you have until mid-May to get it back on course.

Full Moon on 12th raises emotions about professional or status matters or issues to do with father and authority figures (which could be you). Clearer thinking helps the next day as Mercury planet of thought and communication gets more focused and more feisty and remains so for the rest of the month.

Mars moves into your 6th House of work, health and service to others on 10th which means time to take action regarding your daily routine, how you tend to yourself physically, your focus at work and how you serve others. Determination is yours. It just needs applying.

The Sun warms up your creative expression and sense of fun from 20th and New Moon early on 28th offers a fresh start with children, romance and creativity. Put your best foot forward!
Capricorn: Communications, short journeys or dealings with neighbours or siblings continue to be busy for much of this month. And if you have outstanding correspondence, see to it by 10th as Mercury squares up to your ruling planet Saturn, soon afterwards which may not give the best results.

As the month progresses more emphasis moves to your 4th House of mother and home, roots, foundations and personal development. Mars starts the month in this sector of your solar chart and is in a helpful aspect to Saturn which helps to move things forward from 3rd – 5th.

In the middle of this, Venus goes retrograde though, taking you back to review a path taken late January, also connected to mother and home. You have until May to work out a better solution.

Mercury moves into your mother and home zone on 13th bringing fresh ideas or movement of some kind. Then the Sun glides in on 20th bringing warmth, light and pleasure. New Moon early on 28th is also in this area of your chart and marks the beginning of your domestic New Year. Make some resolutions that include self-nurture.

Mars leaps into your 5th House of romance, children and creativity from 10th and you’ll have energy to spare. Push ahead with projects in any of these areas!
Aquarius: Your ideals about finances and security are high at the start of the month and the Sun helps to shed light on Neptune’s ongoing mists here, while Mercury offers ideas and energy for positive negotiations until 10th.

Mars enters your 4th House of mother and home, roots, foundations, self-nurture and personal development on 10th. New reserves of energy and determination are yours for the taking. Take them! If you have DIY or home improvement projects in mind, now is the time to roll up your sleeves. The same applies to areas of your development that you would like to move forwards.

Communications have the strongest dynamic this month though as five planets pass through or stay in this area of your solar chart. This covers speech, writing, languages, physical movement, short journeys and dealings with neighbours and siblings. Venus goes retrograde in this area of your chart on 4th, taking you back to review whatever began in late January. You have until May to work out what should have been done differently.

Mercury planet of communication enters your 3rd House of communications on 13th, helping to make you lighter of tongue and foot. The Sun adds its radiance from 20th and your power of persuasion will be strong! New Moon on 28th is also in this area. Make some resolutions for the year ahead to exercise your body and mind. A new form of movement or learning a new language would be perfect!
Pisces: The month begins with the Sun joining forces with your ruling planet Neptune from 1st – 2nd which is your idea of heaven. And the Sun ball remains in your court until 20th offering warmth, optimism and self-expression.

The even busier area of focus this month though is your 2nd House of finance, security, values and self-esteem. Venus goes retrograde here on 4th pressing you to review decisions taken late January. You have until mid-April to make the necessary adjustments and from mid-May you can start to make progress.

Mars jumps into your communications zone on 10th making you more verbally forthright and perhaps more physically energetic. And Full Moon on 12th falls in your relationships and partnerships zone, creating an emotional high tide. But on 13th Mercury’s move into Aries helps you to re-focus – on the finance and security main agenda of the month.

The Sun adds light to these matters from 20th and New Moon on 28th is also in this area of your solar chart. Thinking of making a new budget or taking a different approach to values? This is your day!

Aries:   Who’s that dazzling, dashing figure we can’t help noticing this month? Yes, it’s you! From 3^rd both Venus and Mars are in your sign and as Mars is your ruling planet, it gets extra points for dynamism when in Aries. Your charms will be as strong as your will this month, so go for it!

Uranus which is also in your sign gets into interesting waters later in the month from 20^th when it opposes Jupiter and squares Pluto. Although this is a tense aspect, in your case it will just spur you on to achieve your ambitions, regardless of what partners think or say!

And when Mars catches up with Uranus from 23^rd–27^th anyone else’s hopes that you’ll change your mind will disappear. You know exactly what you want and half-measures or compromise will not do! With an inspiring eclipse behind the scenes on 26^th, your clarity is so strong it may look scary to some. But for anyone who wants to learn how to get things done – tell them to just watch you this month!

Taurus:   Creativity behind the scenes is a rich and active area for you this month. On 3^rd your ruling planet Venus reaches over to join Mars in this spiritual sector of your solar chart and they’re both there all month! This works best of all during the first three weeks of Feb, so make hay while the sun shines!

Jupiter is less straight forwards and in fact goes retrograde on 6^th taking you back to look once again at what happened in your work, health, service to others and daily routine zone last November. Changes need to be made and you have until October to make the necessary adjustments for real growth (as opposed to questionable or inadvertent expansion).

Work and career are looking good from 10^th–11^th but Full Moon early on 11^th may distract you by raising emotions to do with mother figures, personal development or home.

Tensions build for us all towards the end of the month (from 20^th) and in your case it may be a conflict of interest between your daily life and your creative unconscious or health versus inner-workings; bursting out in your travel, philosophy and ethics zone.

Your friends, groups and community area is very active too this month and friends may need your solid support. The solar eclipse on 26^th also falls in your friends, groups, community and humanitarian ideals zone. This is part of a lucky eclipse family and Neptune is close by too. Friends may need to escape pressure they’re under and you might be able to help or even escape with them! Campaigning is another avenue that might appeal – for a better world!

Gemini:   Pleasure with friends, groups and community are on offer as Venus and Mars join forces this month lending energy and charm to collective activities. This includes organisations and campaigns. Apply your energies during the first three weeks while it’s plain sailing, as later on progress is still possible but the price is higher.

Your ruling planet Mercury is moving fast (just how you like it) and spans three signs. It spends most of the month though in your travel, studies and ethics zone. This is good for language learning, communication with in-laws and people from different cultures and exploring your beliefs. You should be able to find the words you need easily if involved in legal matters too.

Jupiter goes retrograde on 6^th in your 5^th House of romance, children and creativity to review decisions taken last November. It then runs into tensions from 20^th–28^th when it clashes with Uranus and Pluto. Others may try to compromise your need for freedom and it could all burst out in matters to do with joint funds, inheritances and sharing.

Mars leaps into the picture too from 23^rd reinforcing Uranus. If compromises have to be made at this time, you’ll feel it shouldn’t be you making them. Stand your ground and let others stretch their flexibility and self-knowledge for once. It’s about time!

Your father, career and social status zone is also super active this month. From 18^th the Sun sheds new light on your possibilities and the New Moon and solar eclipse on 26^th which lands near Neptune marks a fresh chapter, inspired by ideals.

Cancer:   If your ambitions have been in a lull recently, this month is the antidote! Mars is in your 10^th House of father, career and social status all month and your energy and determination will be high. Venus arrives here too from 3^rd, adding to the creative mix and making people in authority look on you kindly. If you need favours, don’t be afraid to ask!

Jupiter in your joint finance zone goes retrograde on 6^th taking you back to review decisions and actions taken last November. You have until early June to work out what adjustments need to be made and by October you should be back on course.

Full Moon early on 11^th may raise feelings of insecurity about your own money, income, possessions and security. Notice them but keep calm. They’re just anxieties.

Four planets line up in a T-square from 20^th which you may experience as tension between your mother and home zone versus father, career and social status. Something has to give and this is likely to be in relationships and partnerships. Watch out for power plays – your own and others’…

The New Moon and solar eclipse on 26^th falls in the other very active area of your solar chart – your 9^th House of travel, exploring, philosophy, in-laws, ethics and legal matters. Ideals will be strong in one or more of these areas and should inform your plans for the year ahead. Take aim.  

Leo:   Your travel, studies, culture and ethics zone is super-creative this month with Venus and Mars balancing your determination with pleasure and co-operation from others. Different cultures or philosophies may appeal as might new places to suit your pioneering mood.

Daily communications are less easy as Jupiter goes retrograde from 6^th calling you back to look at possibly faulty thinking (or words) around last November. Jupter goes direct again early June and you have until October to move forwards with the adjustments you identify during this review period.

From 20^th three and later four planets stir up some tricky dynamics which land in your higher mind versus lower mind axis. An overwhelming need to stick to your principles may come up and your work, health and daily routine zone might take the flack…

The eclipse on 26^th may serve as a welcome distraction as new possibilities arise in your joint funds and intimacy zone. Neptune is offering ideals and the New Moon – a fresh start. Taxes, debts and inheritances are areas to look at afresh, along with sharing resources and being open yourself!

Virgo:   Venus and Mars are opening up creative paths in your 8^th House of transformation this month. Joint funds, inheritances, taxes and debts may look more manageable. And you find helpful resources (inner and outer) to help others in crisis and in dealing with any of your own. Apply your solutions early on as the picture gets more complicated from 20^th.

Jupiter goes retrograde on 6^th in your security and finance zone, requiring you to carry out a review of decisions taken last November. Jupiter’s real function is growth which shouldn’t be confused with mindless expansion. You have until early June to find the best, truly growthful way forward and until October to finish applying it.

From 20^th Jupiter runs into Uranus and Pluto, sparking tensions between your income and the financial demands of others. This may burst out in your romance, children and creativity zone. Any form of creativity will help to ease the tension which is at least some measure of action you can take, regardless of how others are behaving.

The New Moon and solar eclipse on 26^th falls in the other active area of your solar chart this month – relationships and partnerships. It falls on Neptune which raises ideals. A fresh start is on offer. Take it.  

Libra:   Jupiter which has been bringing growth and opportunity to you since September goes retrograde on 6^th to review whether you’ve been really growing or just expanding lately… Your actions around last November need looking at once again and you’ll have until early June to review what adjustments you need to make and until October to make them.

Meanwhile you have a heady month ahead with relationships and partnerships taking your breath away! Your ruling planet Venus glides into this part of your solar chart on 3^rd, joining Mars which is there all month. This is a creative combination and if romance is on your agenda, this month shouldn’t disappoint! Business partnerships come into this too, so much can be achieved working closely together with your partners up to 20^th.

Towards the end of the month, Jupiter in your sign gets caught up with unpredictable Uranus in your partnerships zone which has repercussions at home or with your roots and foundations in some way. When Mars puts in its point of view from 23^rd– 27^th things may feel unmanageable. Keep your cool and grow to meet the situation. Opportunities for personal growth are strong, as are the situations that call for it. Keeping everyone happy is no longer the answer.

The New Moon and solar eclipse on 26^th falls in your work, health, service to others and daily routine zone. Make new resolutions in these areas for the year ahead!

Scorpio:   Your month begins on a positive flow when Venus moves into your work, health and service to others zone from 3^rd. Mars has been here right from the start and together they make a creative environment at work and with colleagues and daily companions. Adding a health regime to your day could feature too. If it does, make sure it’s something you enjoy.

Jupiter goes retrograde from 6^th to re-explore an area of your inner-workings which missed the turning for further growth last November In the months ahead there is a second chance to reflect on where growth lies and what your response to it should be. Put this into action by October.

From 20^th there’s some tension between your inner world and daily demands which shows up in communications. Your need for freedom at work or in your daily life will be especially strong from 23^rd when Mars joins Uranus but make sure anything you have to say is fair. If in doubt, take a walk. Dealings with trade, neighbours and siblings could feature too.

In contrast to all of this, the eclipse on 26^th falls in your 5^th House of romance, children and creativity. Neptune is involved too so ideals will be high. The new events or new resolve on your part will colour the coming months. Be creative in the best possible way!

Sagittarius:   Your 5^th House of romance, children and creativity looks very promising up to 20^th as Venus and Mars provide just the right amount of give and take. Take pleasure in these domains, you deserve it.

From 6^th your ruling planet Jupiter goes retrograde in your friends, groups, community and organisations zone, taking you back to review decisions taken last November. This is a second chance to get things right for future growth and you have until early June to work out how that could be and until October to get that up and running.

From 20^th Jupiter runs into Uranus and Pluto which shakes up the system. Mars joins in too from 23^rd and tensions between your personal creativity and group well-being are not compatible. This mis-match makes itself known in your finance and security zone… The group picture looks like it has the upper-hand this time and you may have to forego personal projects.

Mother and home is the other active area this month, with the Sun bringing warmth and light from 18^th. Mercury helps communications here from 25^th and the New Moon and solar eclipse on 26^th triggers ideals which inspire you to make a fresh start.

Capricorn:   It’s all go on the mother and home front this month as Venus and Mars add sparkle, creativity and pleasure to your surroundings or the emotional dynamics within them. This is a great time to decorate or entertain, especially during the first three weeks of the month.

Things will be less clear in your father, career and social status zone though when Jupiter goes retrograde from 6^th. This will take you back to review decisions or moves made last November. And you have until early June to work out what went wrong and until October to get things back on track.

From 20^th things kick off due to tensions between your private and public life or career versus home or even between mother and father figures. Mars adds to the agro or action on the home front from 23^rd when it joins Uranus and compromises won’t look like an option! You may emerge super-strong from this situation which is fine but don’t gloat.

The New Moon and solar eclipse on 26^th is in your communications zone offering a new approach or new forms of communication (which includes physical movement) and a fresh page can be turned in your approach or dealings with siblings and neighbours. Your antennae will also be super-strong and you may pick up the unspoken message louder than what was actually said. Double-check what has been agreed to make sure you don’t confuse the two. Keep hold of the ideals that come to mind at this time. Keep them with you and alive.

Aquarius:   Your tongue or pen will be working like a charm this month as just the right words help you to navigate your chosen terrain. You’ll be clear about what you want to achieve and the co-operation of others will part the waves to allow you safe passage. Make the most of this early in the month as by 20^th ‘other’ dynamics will be in play…

Jupiter’s retrograde movement from 6^th will call you to look again at your approach towards travel, studies, different cultures and ethics. If you have legal situations going on, they too might back-peddle for some time to correct a misunderstanding back in November.

Jupiter’s in good aspect with the Sun though around 10^th–11^th but Full Moon on 11^th is in your opposite sign, bringing up strong feelings about relationships and partnerships.

Later in the month, your ruling planet Uranus gets caught up in an unrelenting dynamic from 20^th and stands its ground regardless of the opposition when Mars joins it from 23^rd–27^th. New ideas could seem compulsive or your nervous system may be operating on over-drive and sleep may be harder to find. It’s important to put your mental energy into projects and to get LOTS of exercise to use up some of this high voltage energy!

The New Moon and solar eclipse on 26^th falls in your income and finance zone, an area which has been mystifying you for months. Neptune’s central position in the picture doesn’t help to bring clarity but it is an idealistic fresh start of some kind and perhaps a new value system or a new source of income. Put your best foot forward.

Pisces:   The month before our birthday we are often at lowest ebb as the Sun has been away from us for the longest time. This year the Sun returns to your sign on 18^th bringing energy and a sense of renewal. Your birthday is your true New Year, not January 1^st. (It’s also the perfect time to explore your planets for the year ahead with a good astrologer!).

Your finances are undergoing a creative process this month as Venus and Mars lend good luck and energy to your efforts at securing an income or a sense of security in some way, perhaps on a non-material level, through creativity or philosophical beliefs. Apply your good ideas early on, as from 20^th things get more complicated.

Jupiter goes retrograde in your joint funds zone on 6^th taking you back to review decisions taken last November. Steps taken then may not have led to your best chance of true growth and you have until early June to explore better alternatives and until October to apply them.

From 20^th–28^th Jupiter runs into Uranus and Pluto which for Pisceans involves a clash between your income or value system and unpredictable changes in the finances of others that you’re involved with in some way. This could also involve taxes, debts and inheritances. The demands of others becomes more pressing as Mars joins Uranus from 23^rd. Something has to give and it looks like the repercussions will be felt in your friends, groups, community and collectives zone. Campaigning in some way could also be a useful outlet for these energies.    

Mercury enters your sign on 25^th adding strings to your communications bow and helping physical movement. And then the highlight of the month is New Moon and a solar eclipse in your sign on 26^th. Your ruling planet Neptune also happens to be very close which means not only is this your personal New Year, it is also completely in tune with your own process. Make resolutions for your interesting year ahead!
