Aries:   There are many comings and goings in your father, career and social status sector this month with the Sun warming things up until 19^th. When Sun catches up with power-wielding Pluto on 7^th you may find yourself (or others) operating at full force. Ambitions are all well and good but be sure to remain ethical. Words also carry more weight than usual on 29^th, be ethical here too, even if others are not.

Mercury helps communications along after 12^th, also in your public sphere. Full Moon happens to fall on the same day (although the build up is the night before) so emotions about mother, home, nurturing and personal development will be high then too.

The Sun-Uranus square springs surprises and a meeting of Venus and Neptune, also on 12^th adds romance, idealism or spirituality to the mix. This is great for creative and compassionate work but possibly not as good for self-awareness and clarity. Resist the urge to ‘rescue’ others or martyrdom. And think before making sweeping promises that you may not be able to see through.

The last week of the month is possibly the most exciting for you as your ruling planet Mars leaps into Aries on 28^th ready to take the world by storm. It’s two years since this particular elixir ran through your veins and Mars is your favourite fuel.

New Moon also falls on 28^th in your friends, groups, community and humanitarian ideals zone. This is the day to make New Year’s Resolutions about your collective life and there is no danger of empty promises with Mars revving away in your sign. Anything you set your mind on then is going to happen! Full speed ahead!

Taurus:   Your ruling planet Venus glides into your collective sphere on 3^rd, joining Mars, Neptune and Chiron. Relationships with friends, groups and community go well and creative projects are propelled forward. Inspiration is especially strong on 12^th when Venus meets with Neptune. Full Moon falls on the same day in your communications zone and Mercury enters your travel, culture and ethics zone on 12^th too. This could be a pivotal day so have your balls ready or already in play by then.

Mid-month there’s lots of activity around communications, perhaps involving neighbours and siblings. Then the Sun enters your father, career and social status zone from 19^th shedding light and giving energy to your ambitions.

New Moon on 28^th falls in your professional sphere too. Make plans for your public year ahead. Mercury and Pluto join forces the next day in your publishing zone. Could that be your name being mentioned?

Mars makes a move too on 28^th and enters your ‘behind the scenes’ sector. Direct this burst of energy into creative acts: be that poetic, compassionate, online or spiritual. The path may not be clear but following your instincts, takes you surely forward.

Gemini:   The month begins with Mars and Neptune working together in your father, career and social status zone which could find you pursuing your dream ambitions or lost and wondering where to go next. Neptune has been in this area of your solar chart for five years so you’re probably used to the lack of clarity by now.   It isn’t possible to make everything visible right now so don’t waste good energy trying to do so. As before, just feel your way forward.

It may be hard to make headway before 8^th or 12^th as Mercury is darting backwards and forwards both in direction and between signs. This creates an ever-changing picture regarding partnerships and joint funds, including taxes, debts and inheritances. Sharing and intimacy may seem bewildering too. Part of the problem of course could be you constantly changing your mind… Best keep uncertainty to yourself until everything you are decided.

Full Moon on 12^th heightens emotions regarding your finances. But your ruling planet Mercury comes through and helps you to now talk about joint and shared funds, clearly and to the point. Venus and Neptune join forces on 12^th too adding to your professional glamour. This is great but don’t fall for flattery and avoid ‘rescue scenarios’… Partners may block your ambitions around 18^th-19^th but this too will pass.

On 28^th Mars leaps into your friends, groups and community zone. You may also find yourself being more political with the energy to push forward causes you believe in. New Moon is on the same day in your travel, culture, deep study and ethics zone. Make some resolutions to make your world wider in the year ahead.

When your ruling planet Mercury meets Pluto on 29^th, others may feel the sting of your tongue. But that is the risk they take for seeming disrespectful. Say your piece!

Cancer:   Relationships and partnerships continue to dominate the field with the Sun helping self-expression until 19^th. When Sun meets Pluto here on 7^th the stage could be set for the clash of the Titans or deep passion. Remember you have a voice in which you’d prefer. Communications could get intense too around 29^th when Mercury and Pluto want to say it, how it is…

Full Moon in Cancer on the morning of 12^th finds an emotional you. Mercury moves into your relationships and partnerships sphere also on 12^th, helping to resolve earlier mix-ups. The Sun and Uranus square each other too, reminding you of the need for a new approach to long-standing conflicts between partnerships and your career or social status.

Towards the end of the month things liven up again. On 28^th Mars leaps into your father, career and social status zone. Any ambitions you have had on hold need to be unleashed, as now you have the energy and vision to drive them forward. New Moon is on 28^th too in your joint funds and sharing zone (including intimacy). Make resolutions here for the year ahead too.

Travel, culture, philosophy and ethics remain a rich and creative area all month with Venus, Mars, Neptune and Chiron spinning a varied web. Explore, explore, explore.

Leo:   Work, health and service to others continue to be the ‘hot potato’ this month as your ruling planet the Sun illuminates these areas of your life. Daily routine and how you tend to yourself physically come into this too and possibly ‘pets’. The Sun joins forces with powerful Pluto on 7^th and if you had a new regime in mind, this would be a good day to start it. Mercury also joins Pluto on 29^th when communications regarding work and health could get out of hand. Keep an eye out for obsessive thinking and channel it into physical exercise if it shows up!

Many things are happening in your joint funds and intimacy area which includes ‘the money of others’, taxes, debts, inheritances and sharing (including yourself on an intimate level). Venus and Mars are creatively bringing things up that need looking at while Neptune and Chiron cloud the issue. If you can be totally honest with yourself, healing could take place too. Meanwhile avoid ‘rescue’ scenarios and speak your truth.

A higher calling challenges you around 12^th when the Sun squares Uranus. Your previous position on travel, philosophy, culture and ethics is being challenged by Jupiter too. And when Mars leaps into the picture from 28^th, action will become inevitable. You must be true to yourself!

The Sun moves into your 7^th House of relationships and partnerships (both business and personal) from 19^th, illuminating anything hidden. New Moon on 28^th falls into the same area and marks the beginning of your Relating New Year. Make honest-to-yourself resolutions for the year ahead. You have to make room for your truth.

Virgo:   Relationships and partnerships may seem bewildering this month but not necessarily unpleasant. Ideals are high and healing opportunities are around from 17^th-18^th, the only obstacle coming from your mother and home zone.

Your ruling planet Mercury is going backwards and forwards causing indecision up until 8^th. And only after 12^th do you find clear expression, perhaps to do with romance, children and creativity. Full Moon is on the same day with a Sun-Uranus square bringing the unexpected and Venus joins Neptune which could make for a heady romantic mix. Even so, don’t let others take advantage of your good nature. Any decisions you make should be yours alone.

On 19^th the Sun moves into your work, health and service to others zone and New Moon on 28^th falls in this domain too. If you’re considering a new regime, 28^th would be a perfect day to start. Mars moves into your joint funds zone on the same day, making you assertive and more determined than ever to ‘sort out’ taxes, debts, inheritances and the whole realm of sharing.

Mercury meets Pluto on 29^th and your words will be clear and remembered by others. Good! It’s about time people started listening!

Libra:   Many things are happening in your mother and home zone this month with the Sun providing light and warmth until 19^th and Mercury joining in from 12^th to help sort out earlier misunderstandings. On 7^th the Sun meets Pluto which produces power urges. Whether yours or someone else’s, keep things fair!

Your creative urges find an outlet in your work, health and service to others arena. Venus and Mars are both operating here for most of the month. Neptune and Chiron are involved too which adds idealism and the possibility of wounding and/or healing to the mix. Your daily routine is up for improvement too. Is there a helpful addition you could make to your day? Soothing exercise or a pet perhaps?

The 12^th may be a bewildering day as Venus and Neptune create romance at work and health or ideals in these areas or service to others, Full Moon pumps extra emotion into your father, career and social status zone. Plus a dash of lightening from the Sun-Uranus square which electrifies your mother and home versus partnerships dynamics. How all of this gets packed into one day should be interesting!

Jupiter in your sign is at odds with Uranus and Pluto all month which causes some discomfort as your growth and expansion causes friction with partners and home life. They’ll get used to it. Stick with your growth.

New Moon on 28^th is in your romance, children and creativity zone. Make resolutions for the year ahead in these areas. Mars jumps into your 7^th House of relationships and partnerships on the same day, heating things up. Passion or disputes? You decide…

Scorpio:   Financial dealings are looking unfathomable for the first half of the month as Mercury tos and fros in both directions. Communications and dealings with trade, neighbours and siblings is very active though and power plays loom up around 7^th and 29^th. Make sure your self-awareness is up to recognising the factors involved. Knee-jerk reactions are unhelpful and could even be harmful. The enlightened battle is with ourselves, not others and in examining how we think, not blaming others. If in doubt, take lots of exercise!

Your romance, children and creativity zone is busy all month with Venus and Mars in accord and Neptune and Chiron adding depth and hope. Movements around 18^th – 19^th may provoke fears about security but they will pass. Again observe them and your reactions rather than leaping into action.

On 19^th the Sun moves into your mother and home zone bringing warmth and clarity to your domestic life. New Moon falls here too on 28^th. This marks the beginning of your Domestic New Year. Make plans for the coming year to achieve a happy home. Self-nurture comes into this too and personal development, so include these in your ‘to do’ list of resolutions for the year ahead.

Keep the exercise up and watch your tongue on 29^th. Exploring the power of positive thought is better than a negative outburst… This is the path of true strength.

Sagittarius:   Your finances set you a fluster at the start of the month as indecision unsettles everything. A power play when the Sun and Pluto join forces on 7^th may not help either, whether that’s on your part or someone else’s. Nothing can really proceed until Mercury goes direct on 8^th and finally arrives in forward motion in your finance zone on 12^th.

The 12^th also happens to be Full Moon in your joint funds zone which may feel like a sensitive area too. The Sun and Uranus square up to each also on 12^th, bringing the unexpected and a Venus-Neptune meeting also on 12^th adds the desire for an ideal home and nurturing to the mix. Be open to whatever this interesting day has to show you…

Your ruling planet Jupiter is also at odds with Uranus and Pluto this month which presents you with conflicting demands between your need for friends, groups and community and individual creativity, romance and children. A dominating need for security is part of the picture too.

Healing opportunities occur on the mother and home front around 17^th – 19^th. The only obstacle to this taking place, may be you! Try to find within yourself whatever flexibility is being called for.

Things look more fun from 28^th with New Moon in your communications and trading zone. Make resolutions for the year ahead. Mars jumps into your travel, culture, deep study and ethics zone on the same day and you’ll be feeling adventurous. That’s more like it!

Capricorn:   Your energy reserves continue to top-up this month as the Sun continues to revive your sign until 19^th. Mercury keeps coming and going too but isn’t any real help until after 12^th when it re-enters your sign in direct motion and recent misunderstandings can finally be sorted out.

From 19^th your energies extend to creative forms of generating more income and a greater sense of security. Now what could they be? Consider creativity and philosophy as part of the answer or even the answer.

Communications and dealings with trade, neighbours or siblings look rich and creative this month. It may not be the best time for sorting out the wheat from the chaff though so go with your instincts as rational analysis hasn’t yet set in. Every project starts from a vision and this may be your time to dream up just what that could be. Short trips bode well too.

Full Moon on 12^th raises emotions in your relationships and partnerships zone. Be ethical however emotional you may be feeling. Be scrupulously fair too on 7^th when the Sun and Pluto powerfully meet in your sign.

New Moon on 28^th marks the beginning of your new financial year. Make a budget and plans for the year ahead. Mars jumps into your career and social status zone on the same day too, giving drive to your ambitions. When Mercury meets Pluto in your sign on 29^th watch your words. They carry more weight than usual, so all the more important that you use them evenly and for ethical ends…

Aquarius:   Many things are being sifted and sorted in your unconscious at present and some of them will make themselves known on the conscious front too. Make these revelations welcome and see how they can inform your life at present. Look out especially for the content of your dreams and examine self-talk to make sure it’s positive and helpful. Creativity is taking place behind the scenes too on an artistic, online, humanitarian or spiritual front. This could be life-changing so give it the time it needs!

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 19^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 agreat astrologer!).

The other very active area right now is your 2^nd House of money, possessions, security and values. Venus and Mars are searching for creative means to increase your income possibilities either in addition to current strands or to replace them all together.

Neptune and Chiron are in the picture too which doesn’t make for clarity.  Neptune creates a mist of idealism and although Chiron can bring about wounding or healing, it may be hard to see which steps would bring which…

Mars jumps into your communications zone from 28^th giving you tons of mental energy. New Moon on 28^th (at 0.08 GMT) falls in your sign too and marks the beginning of your personal New Year. Resolutions made then have a better chance than any made on January 1^st. Take this second chance!

Pisces:   Your world is awash with dreams this month as Venus and Mars spend most of the month in your sign, joining Neptune and Chiron your current long-term residents. Your glamour stakes are sky-high with this heady mix and you may just have to accept that from 3^rd you’re everyone’s darling.

Although you may encounter passing obstacles in the form of authority figures around 18^th-19^th, little else will cloud your sky this month. On January 1^st Mars joins your ruling planet Neptune, ready to push forward your dreams and make them real.

On 12^th Venus does the same which happens to coincide with Full Moon in your romance, children and creativity zone. So this could be a whirlwind, emotional day!

On 28^th the planets conspire again as Mars leaps into your finance zone providing energy and the determination to improve or increase your sources of income. New Moon is on the same day in your ‘behind the scenes’ life. Make resolutions for the year ahead regarding creativity, your online life, healing and spirituality. Get your self-talk on board too and any meditative practices that appeal, to help guide you through these open seas!

Aries:   You’ll be expressing yourself on the travel and ethics front this month and may even get your words in print.  Your main focus however will be your career, ambitions and social status.  Venus helps things to go smoothly here until 7^th.  Mercury is active too but goes retrograde from 19^th so get important negotiations over before then.

Power dynamics out in the world, with father figures or in your professional sphere continue to be intense, especially during the first few days of the month and around 19^th.

Your ruling planet Mars is still forging ahead in your friends, groups and community zone.  Organisations and politics could come into this too.  You know what needs to be done and lucky for everyone else, you know how to do it.  On 19^th Mars moves into your 12^th House of inner workings, creativity behind the scenes, institutions and compassion.  Your dreams could carry helpful content.  Listen to what they have to say.

Uranus in your sign has been retrograde since late July, taking you back to reassess any compromises you may have made in the past, especially in summer 2015 and spring 2016.  On 29^th Uranus goes direct on the same day as New Moon in your career zone.  Make resolutions for your professional year ahead then.  Others may think they’ve already got the measure of you.  But they haven’t seen anything yet!  Time to take the world by storm!

Taurus:   Your ruling planet Venus moves into your father, career and social status zone on 7^th, smoothing the way for your ambitions and the helpful  regard of people in authority.  Ask for favours if you need them.  Mars has been doing the spade work here for a month.  Now plant your seeds in this newly dug ground.

Realisations about your finances may cause concern around 14^th when Full Moon falls into your finance and income zone.  Acknowledge your feelings but don’t get too caught up in them.  Your joint finances are looking a bit brighter or clearer this month as the Sun here helps to clarify what has been worrying you, especially around 9^th – 10^th.

Trips or dealings with different cultures go well up to 7^th but Mercury going retrograde from 19^th could scupper travel plans.  Double check your bookings and tickets etc.  Legal matters and inter-cultural dialogues could also take a temporary turnaround.  Be patient on all fronts.

From mid-month Jupiter in your work, health and service to others zone is opposite Uranus which could indicate that certain mindsets or self-talk could have been hindering your health, daily routine or work life.  Take a good look at what that could be.  Uranus starts to move forwards on 29^th which will help you to make helpful changes internally.  Self-awareness is more than half the battle.

Gemini:   The Sun has been melting your misgivings about relationships and partnerships this month and it may feel like there’s been a breakthrough in some way around 9^th – 10^th. But from 21^st the Sun moves on to illuminate other matters.                                 

‘Joint funds’ is the main area of activity though this month with lots of comings and goings effecting taxes, debts, inheritances and sharing.  Your ruling planet Mercury goes retrograde here on 19^th so try to sign any important documents before then.  Even so there may be mix-ups during this period.

Mars changes sign on 19^th too making you keen to push ahead with your career, ambitions and social status.  There’s plain sailing until 29^th when Mars runs into Neptune which makes it very difficult to see what’s going on and where you’re going.  Put your energies into creative pursuits until early Jan when you can make headway once again.

Uranus going direct on 29^th brings progress to friendships, groups and community ventures.  But Jupiter opposite is asking whether you should be pursuing individual creativity instead?

Full Moon in your sign early on 14^th (so the build up is on 13^th) – finds an emotional you.  Let others know how you feel.  

Cancer:   Work, health and service to others is a lively area during the first three weeks of December, with the Sun shedding light, especially around 9^th – 10^th, on knotty problems that have been weighing you down for some time.  Adjustments to your daily routine could have a beneficial impact too.

There’s also lots of focus in your partnerships zone once again with Venus bringing pleasure until 7^th and then Mercury going retrograde on 19^th which provides an opportunity to review recent communications.  New Moon on 29^th in your opposite sign will also help to inform you of the emotional dynamics involved.

Uranus also goes direct on 29^th in your father, career and social status zone.  A review has been going on here since late July.  Have been compromising too much?  Apply your conclusions but keep a balance with home needs too.

Mars adds to your determination to sort out joint finance situations (including taxes, debts and inheritances) until 19^th.  It then heads off in search of the bigger picture and when it joins Neptune near the end of the month, you may find yourself setting out on a quest of some kind.  This is the stuff heroes are made from.  Courage on your visionary path!    

Leo:   Your ruling planet the Sun is lighting up your favourite romance, children and creativity zone and obstacles that seem to have been in the way for some time may just melt away around 9^th -10^th.  And yes, your mindset or communications (or lack of them) may have created the problem in the first place!

The really busy area this month though is your 6^th House of work, health, daily routine and service to others.  Things go smoothly until 7^th but on 19^th Mercury goes retrograde and you need to double-check what has been agreed.  This would be a good time for a health review too.  Have you been moving that body enough to stay healthy?  Make some resolutions and start them at New Moon on 29^th.

Relationships and partnerships go nicely from 7^th as Venus brings harmony and pleasure.  This gets even better from 19^th when feisty Mars moves out of the picture too.

Joint funds need looking at which could include taxes, debts and inheritances.  Sharing in a broader sense may need looking at too, including intimacy.  It will become harder to fathom things out after 29^th when Neptune creates a fog.  Make your move before then.  But as visibility of that door slips away, Uranus goes direct, urging you to push forward with travel and study plans and explorations of all kinds.  Keep daily exercise going, as you allow yourself access to a wider world!

Virgo:   Venus creates harmony in your romance, children and creativity zone until 7^th.  Then it moves on to soften things connected to your work, health and daily routine.  Being of service to others brings pleasure and dealings daily companions (colleagues, flatmates and pets) goes well too.

Emotions run high in your professional life around Full Moon on 13^th – 14^th.  Then on 19^th your ruling planet Mercury goes retrograde until early next month.  This is also in your romance, children and creativity zone where a review of communications is needed in some way.

Mars has been making you more determined in your work and health zone and will continue to do so until 19^th, when it moves into your 7^th House of relationships and partnerships.  You may find yourself being more assertive here than usual or running into someone else who is…  If you have plans in this department, put them into action before 29^th when Mars starts getting lost in  Neptunian mists.

Uranus goes direct on 29^th in your joint funds zone which means progress can commence regarding taxes, debts, inheritances and sharing, including intimacy.  Uranus is opposite Jupiter during the second half of the month, so all of this has to be balanced with your personal income and security needs.  New Moon is also on 29^th and offers a fresh start in romance, children and creativity.  Make some resolutions to help the year ahead go in the direction you would like it to!

Libra:   Home is where the heart is up to 7^th but then your ruling planet Venus glides into your 5^th House of romance, children and creativity bringing pleasure and ease.  Mars has already been making headway in these areas for a month, so enjoy your achievements.

Mars moves on to tackle your work, health and service to others zone from 19^th.  So if anything needs attending to in any of these areas, push ahead.  Choose your words carefully from 19^th when Mercury goes retrograde in your mother and home zone as complicated power dynamics are still around.

New Moon on 29^th marks the beginning of your domestic New Year – make some resolutions.  Uranus goes direct the same day in your partnerships zone so there’s a positive gear change here too.  Uranus has been retrograde since late July, pulling you back to reassess whether or not you have been over- compromising in partnerships (both business and personal).  If you have been, now is the time to start a new regime.  Others may be surprised but they’ll get used to it!

Scorpio:   Venus glides into your mother and home zone on 7^th bringing domestic harmony and perhaps the final decorative touches to projects you’ve been working on.  This is also a good time for entertaining at home and your personal development could benefit too.

Long-standing financial constraints may look more optimistic too as the Sun sheds light on worries and feelings of not having ‘enough’.  Sometimes a feeling of security can be found through creativity or a value system that gives a sense of security.  Explore these areas if anxieties persist, especially around 9^th -10^th.

Communications could get tricky from 19^th when Mercury goes retrograde.  If important discussions are needed, try to schedule them in before then.  Communications with neighbours and siblings may need revisiting too.  And are you getting enough exercise?

Mars and Neptune join forces from 29^th and add mystique to your romance, children and creativity zone.  Heightened creative flow may be more reliable than the beckon of a certain someone but your own mystique could be intriguing to others.  This is a passing Neptunian mist, so keep your feet on the ground.

There’s a further change of gear on 29^th when Uranus goes direct in your work, health and service to others zone, urging you to put a new regime in place.  New Moon’s on the same day in your communications zone.  Now what new form of physical movement or self expression could you start?  29^th is your day to make and start new resolutions (not 31^st).  Now what should they be?

Sagittarius:   Your two-year struggle with Saturn in your sign feels a bit lighter this month as the Sun brings light relief and perhaps helpful insights around 9^th – 10^th.  Then Full Moon on 13^th – 14^th is in your opposite sign, raising emotions around relationships and partnerships.

Your finances are a big focus this month too.  All seems to be well up until 7^th but then Mercury goes retrograde here on 19^th which causes you to review recent moves.  The Sun gets involved from 21^st which helps you to keep hold of optimism even though there are hold-ups until Jan 8^th.

From 7^th Venus charms you with the pleasures of the mind.  Dealings with neighbours and siblings bring pleasure too.  From 19^th Mars makes you feel energetic on the mother and home front but from 29^th it runs into Neptune making it very difficult to decipher anything or make headway.

Your ruling planet Jupiter opposes Uranus mid-month onwards which raises the dilemma of whether to go along with group projects or individual ones.  There could also be uncomfortable choices around whether to accommodate  children or friends.

New Moon on 29^th falls in your busy finance zone.  Create a new budget – and keep to it of course…   

Capricorn:   The month before our birthday we are often at lowest ebb as the Sun has been away from us for the longest time but on 21^st the Sun enters Capricorn bringing fresh energy and a sense of renewal.  New Moon on 29^th is also in your sign which marks the beginning of your personal new year.  Make resolutions for the year ahead that especially involve how you would like to run your home and emotional life.  (December 31^st resolutions are just for the uninformed!)

Venus is also in your sign until 7^th heightening your charms, then it moves into your finance zone which usually bodes well for income or a sense of security.  Mars is already in this zone making you energetic in your pursuit of new possibilities.  On 19^th it moves into your communications zone however and your may be more decisive than usual in deed and word.  Mercury goes retrograde in your sign on the same day however, so it may pay to hold your tongue until next month.

When Mars runs into Neptune from 29^th communications with siblings or neighbours may be baffling and you may have to take other people’s feelings into consideration more.

On 29^th Uranus also goes direct in your mother and home zone.  This has been retrograde since late July which has provided a chance for you to review whether you have been making too many compromises in these areas: or not enough.  You may also need to make space for your personal development too.  As Uranus moves forward you can set out anew, better informed and ready to bring about the necessary changes.  You know what they are…

Aquarius:   On 7^th Venus moves into your sign putting you at the top of everyone’s favourite list!  It’s going to stay there until January 3^rd so make the most of that extra popularity!  Mars is already energising you Aquarians until 19th which means you’re a creative dynamo right now, especially mid-month!

Dealings with friends, groups and community are more cheerful too with the Sun’s warmth cheering things up and any misunderstandings that have been weighing you down could get cleared up around 9^th – 10^th.

You’ll start to be more pro-active about finances from 19^th but by 29^th Neptune clouds the way forward and you may just have to pause until it passes on January 5^th.

Your inner workings are being pummeled this month which can be helpful and New Moon on 29^th offers a new way forward in creativity, spirituality or compassion.  Your ruling planet Uranus goes direct on the same day which means full steam ahead!  Yes, at last!

Pisces:   The Sun is lighting up your public life until 21^st, helping ambitions along and shedding light on some of the obstacles that have been holding you back for the last couple of years.  Your relationships with father figures could improve too.  Be open to helpful insights, especially around 9th -10th.

Your friends, groups and community zone goes well until 7^th but gets trickier from 19^th when Mercury goes retrograde.  Review recent communications in these areas.  New Moon on 29^th falls in this zone too, marking the beginning of your collective New Year.  Make some resolutions for the year ahead in these areas of life.

Mars enters your sign on 19th bringing energy, drive and determination to forge ahead in whichever direction you choose.  From 29^th Mars catches up with your ruling planet Neptune which puts your intuition into action and helps you to pursue your ideals and even make dreams come true.

Work behind the scenes starts to move forward too when Uranus goes direct, also on 29^th.  You have a unique approach to creativity, spirituality and compassion right now and having carried out a review on how far you have compromised; the fresh, true version is ready to go.  This has to somehow balance with your daily life where Jupiter is also encouraging you to expand or make yourself free.

Aries:   You’ll be pushing ahead with your own ambitions until 9^th but then your ruling planet Mars leaps into your collective zone, making you more interested in group achievement.  You’ll have lots to offer friends, groups and community and these are areas where you’ll find energy too.  Any collective movements, politics and humanitarian ideals will fire you up and if they’re looking for a leader, you may be in demand!

This could be a good month for trips too or exploring in some way, including the higher mind through study, philosophy, different cultures or ethics.  Venus brings you pleasure through these areas until 12^th, especially on 4^th-5^th when Venus teams up with Uranus in your sign, bringing surprises or the unexpected.

Mercury gives you mental energy from 12^th and the urge to communicate your understanding.  The Sun joins Mercury from 21^st urging you to express yourself too.  Have you thought about learning a new language of some kind?

When Venus enters your professional zone from 12^th, others will be willing to assist you in your plans.  The meeting of Venus with Pluto from 24^th-25^th could also bring about a successful coup, getting someone important on your side.  If you manage to do this, the wind will be behind you!

Taurus:   Your ruling planet Venus starts the month with a zing as it woos Uranus, planet of change disruption and revolution from 4^th-5^th.  This could bring about a sudden attraction, a sudden change of routine or a burst of creativity.  Whichever it is, it won’t be boring!

The Sun is warming up relationships and partnerships until 21^st, then it moves into your transformation and sharing zone which highlights matters to do with birth, sex and death and joint funds (including taxes, debts and inheritances).

Saturn has been weighing down one or more of these areas for almost two years, so the presence of lighter, warmer planets will be welcome.  Venus is smoothing things along there too until 12^th which could also bring ‘the money of others’ your way.

Emotions will be closer to the surface with Full Moon in Taurus early afternoon (GMT) on 14^th (which means the build-up is on 13^th).  And from 12^th your ruling planet Venus brings pleasure through travel, exploring in its widest sense (including different cultures), philosophy and the higher mind.

On 24^th-25^th Venus meets up with Pluto which could involve intense encounters and perhaps a heightened awareness of power dynamics and ethics.  This could be in your own relationships, national matters or international issues.

Neptune goes direct on 20^th bringing some clarity to friendships, groups and humanitarian ideals.  And Mars is ready to take action to further your ambitions from 9^th.  You know what needs doing…  Just do it!

Gemini:   Work, health, service to others and daily routine take your attention at the start of the month but the focus soon moves to relationships and partnerships.  Venus is smoothing things along here until 12^th, followed by your ruling planet Mercury which helps communications all round, apart perhaps from 23^rd when it encounters Saturn.  Saturn has been applying the brakes here for almost two years, so the energy of the faster-moving planets will be welcome.

From 12^th Venus enters your joint funds and intimacy zone which can attract ‘the money of others’.  When it joins Pluto on 24^th-25^th there may be powerful intimate experiences or power plays regarding joint funds.  It looks interesting either way.

On 20^th Neptune goes direct in your father, career and social status zone after a number of months in reverse.  This can help to make things clearer about what’s been happening and to see your position more clearly.

New Moon just after midday on 29^th (GMT) falls in your relationships and partnerships zone.  Make some resolutions to help create what you’d like to find in this area pf life during the year ahead!

Cancer:   Your work, health and service to others zone is active all month as Venus, Mercury and then the Sun lighten up longer-term resident… serious Saturn.  Exercise and physical activity keep your sense of well-being up-beat and relationships with colleagues and daily companions (including pets) should go well (apart from a possible misunderstanding or serious discussions on 23^rd).

Relationships and partnerships will be high on the agenda too.  You’ll be pushing ahead with your plans until 9^th then on 12^th Venus brings pleasure and harmony to the equation.  On 24^th-25^th Venus meets Pluto which promises intensity.  Pluto is offering long-term transformation in your partnerships and with Venus on hand at present, you may be able to sway partners round to your way of thinking.

From 9^th Mars points out the need for action, regarding joint funds or sharing in some way.  This could include the sharing of yourself intimately too.  Neptune goes direct on 20^th, helping to clear the fog which has been surrounding romance, children, speculation or creativity since mid-June which is helpful too.

New Moon on 29^th falls in your work and health zone.  Ready to start a new job or regime?

Leo:   Expressing yourself at home looks good until 21^st as your ruling planet the Sun illuminates your nurture zone and personal development.  You may lose sight of this to some extent though as other areas of life claim your attention.

From 9^th Mars thrusts a bolt of energy and determination to take action in relationships and partnerships.  Or perhaps a partner is presenting challenging behaviour…  Neptune goes direct on 20^th after five months in reverse which helps to make the whole area of joint finances clearer and your shared area which includes taxes, debts, inheritances and the sharing of yourself intimately.  It can be hard to force things into view when dealing with Neptune but at least it starts to move forwards again.

Your romance, children and creativity zone is very active this month.  Venus smoothes everything along until 12^th, then Mercury steps in to help communications.  Saturn has been weighing you down with responsibilities in one or more of these areas for almost two years but your ruling planet the Sun moves in to lift the pressure a little from 21^st.

Work, health and service to others is the other big focus.  Venus glides in on 12^th strengthening your sense of well-being and smoothing relations with colleagues or daily companions.  On 24^th-25^th though Venus runs into Pluto and powerful experiences or power dynamics could raise their head…  Either way, you will learn something about yourself or others.

Virgo:   Communications and dealings with neighbours and siblings go well during the first three weeks of November and physical movement is more joyful and expressive too.

The main focus though is in your mother and home zone which will feel lighter than it has since Saturn took up residence almost two years ago.  This has left you to ponder many things about home life, mother figures, how you nurture yourself, your roots and foundations and personal development.

On 12^th Venus glides into your romance, children and creativity zone, bringing ease and pleasure.  When it joins Pluto on 24^th-25^th intensity arrives which could take the form of a deep creative act or an obsessive attraction towards someone, possibly even both!  The power dynamics you tend towards in romance could become more apparent too.  Pay attention to this, it’s helpful information.

Health, work, service to others or daily routine experience a change of gear as Mars fills you with energy and determination for these things from 9^th.  There’s also another change of gear on 20^th when Neptune moves out of reverse and starts to move forwards, helping your relationships and partnerships to be clearer.  This includes business partnerships too.

New Moon on 29^th marks the beginning of your domestic New Year, make resolutions that will enhance your home-life and nurture you in the year ahead!

Libra:   Your ruling planet Venus goes from one extreme to the other during the first week of November, starting the month with serious Saturn, then moving quickly to align with surprising Uranus though on 4^th -5^th which is much more fun.

Venus glides into your mother and home zone on 12^th and you may find yourself entertaining or wanting to beautify the home in some way.  A big transformation could take place from 24^th-25^th when Venus meets Pluto.  This could be a massive makeover at home or a significant shift in emotional dynamics within the home or with mother figures!

Mars jumps into your romance children and creativity zone from 9^th and you’ll have energy to spare for all of these.  When Mars aspects Jupiter in your sign on 30^th there’s fun to be had too.  Another plus is that Neptune goes direct on 20^th which should help to clarify work or health mysteries that have been puzzling you for some months.

New Moon on 29^th falls in your communications zone.  This is a good day to start new projects, including courses of study or a new form of physical movement.  Get going!

Scorpio:   The Sun in Scorpio lends you full force until 21^st and your intuition will be especially strong on 1^st.  And Full Moon – early afternoon on 14^th GMT (which means the build-up is 13^th) falls in your opposite sign raising the emotional climate in relationships and partnerships.

Your finances are looking busy this month with Venus helping things along until 12^th.  Mercury then brings a new approach or some movement and the Sun brings hope from 21^st.  Saturn has been sitting heavily in your finance and security zone for almost two years now so some lighter relief will no doubt be welcome.

From 9^th Mars is in your mother and home zone.  Whereas most people take their shoes off when they get home, this month you’ll be putting yours on – for action!

From 12^th Venus improves communications and relations with neighbours or siblings.  Then on 24^th-25^th it meets your ruling planet Pluto.  This could raise your awareness of language and power dynamics in your communications.  Be open to everything you can learn about yourself and others.

Neptune goes direct on 20^th which starts to clear the ongoing fog which has been clouding your view of romance, children and creativity for some months.  New Moon on 29^th falls in your money, possessions, security, values and self-esteem zone.  Time to make a budget or look for a new job?

Sagittarius:   The month before our birthday we are often at lowest ebb as the Sun has been away from us for the longest time.  This month however the Sun returns to your sign on 21^st re-energising you and bringing a sense of strength and renewal.

It’s also a good month for other reasons, as Venus is in your sign until 12^th making you irresistibly charming and Mercury lends you a silver tongue from 12^th onwards.  All of this activity will be very welcome as Saturn has been in your sign, weighing you down for almost two years.

Finances are looking better too as Venus brings a probable improvement from 12^th, although it will be hard to predict what will happen when it runs into powerful Pluto on 24^th-25^th.  There could be power plays about money or life-changing amounts coming… or going…

Mars may make you more assertive from 9^th and on 20^th Neptune goes direct in your 4^th House of mother and home, roots and foundations.  The lack of clarity that has been bothering you since mid-June should start to ease.  Neptune is the least clear of planets at the best of times but at least a move forwards is progress.

New Moon falls in your sign on 29^th, marking the beginning of your personal New Year.  Make your resolutions for the year ahead now, not January 1^st.

Capricorn:   Your internal workings continue to be busy this month and your outlook should be softened by Venus, Mercury and the Sun cheering up Saturn which has been weighing in for almost two years.  Although Saturn is your ruling planet and you understand it better than most, it can be easy to lose sight of the fact that we’re going through a learning process which isn’t going to last forever.

These lighter planets could stimulate acts of compassion or creativity behind the scenes or even an online romance!  Self-talk should be more helpful too.

Mars leaves your sign on 9^th and starts asserting itself in your money and income zone.  You’ll find you have more get-up-and-go on the financial front and may seek out an additional form of income.  Venus enters your sign three days later on 12^th, adding to your charms and making you darling of the zodiac.  When Venus meets Pluto in your sign on 24^th-25^th, your magnetism will be at its highest and hard for others to resist…

Neptune goes direct from 20^th in your communications zone.  This will help you to think more clearly and mysteries surrounding neighbours or siblings could now be solved!

Aquarius:   Mars leaps into your sign on 9^th bringing a renewal of energy and determination to push forward the boundaries of your self-expression.  If anyone is foolish enough to try and cramp your style, they’ll soon realise you’re a force to be reckoned with right now!

Your professional life, issues to do with father-figures or your ambitions are high on the agenda too until 21^st.  Then the Sun joins Mercury and Saturn in your friends, groups, community and humanitarian ideals zone which brightens things up.  Saturn has been sitting heavily here for almost two years so some movement and warmth will help to make things more enjoyable.

Venus starts the month off helping your ruling planet Uranus to relate to others and people will appreciate you in a way that they sometimes don’t.  From 12^th Venus glides into your inner world, helping creativity behind the scenes and acts of compassion towards the vulnerable.  Online relations go well and your self-talk should be gentler too.  On 24^th-25^th Venus meets Pluto bringing deep realisations to light or intense and thought-provoking experiences…

Neptune starts to go direct on 20^th in your finance zone, allowing the first glimpse of clarity for some months.  Even so, Neptune is nebulous, idealistic and sometimes unrealistic so a clear head about your finances and future security is still needed.  The other possibility with Neptune around in this zone (and it’s going to be there for another ten years) is developing a sense of security from creativity or work of an idealistic nature.  Being Aquarius, you could just pull this off!

Pisces:   The month starts well for travel, exploring cultures, ethics and studies but the emphasis moves on to your father, career and social status zone which has been weighed down with Saturn for almost two years.  Saturn may have taken the form of restrictions or the extra responsibilities of having more authority in some way.  It has been a time of reaping what you have sown in the past and the presence of faster moving planets in this area will be a welcome lightener this month.

Venus brings pleasure to friendships, groups, community and humanitarian ideals from 12^th and as it meets Pluto around 24^th-25^th you will become more aware of power dynamics in your friendships, collectives or even local or world politics.

As your ruling planet Neptune goes direct on 20^th after five months in reverse, you will start to see all the ground you have covered since mid-June when this invisible process began.  Where you are now will become clearer as the Neptunian mists subside.  You’ve been doing a lot of internal work, now it’s time to reap the rewards.

New Moon on 29^th marks the beginning of your public status or professional New Year.  Make resolutions for the year ahead to achieve your ambitions.  With a greater sense of self from Neptune’s turnaround, you’ll have a better idea of what they could be!

Aries:   New Moon on 1^st falls in your opposite sign, marking the beginning of your relationships and partnerships new year.  Make some resolutions to help bring about what you’d like to find in these areas of life in the year ahead.  (Partnerships can include business relationships as well as personal).  Mercury and Jupiter also join forces in your partnership zone on 10^th -11^th.  Be ready to develop the brainwaves that burst out then.

Your ruling planet Mars is operating at full force this month, starting on 4^th-5^th when it squares Jupiter, making you more likely to fight for your beliefs or against the beliefs of others.  This pales into insignificance though later in the month when Mars joins Pluto in your father, career and social status zone.  These two planets operating together are high-powered, pretty much unstoppable and possibly ruthless.  You are very likely to run into these energies and it would be best if the ruthless part isn’t coming from you.  If however others are displaying this, use your strength of will (and this month it’s phenomenal) to battle, expose or speak out against any injustices you uncover.

Later in the month Mars squares Uranus which is also quite an extreme line up and again nothing but the truth will do.  You may find yourself refusing to be restricted or silenced by the status quo and the more honest voices there are out there, the better.  We may be relying on you this month to lead by example and to champion just causes in your forthright way.  Show us all how it’s done!

Taurus:   Your ruling planet Venus is having an interesting run this month.  It continues until 18^th in your relationships and partnerships zone, smoothing things along nicely, then glides into your joint funds, intimacy and sharing zone which could attract the money or amourous attentions of others.  Who knows, maybe even both!  The Sun also moves into your partnerships zone on 22^nd which will highlight these matters through into next month.  On 29^th-30^th Venus runs into Saturn though which looks like an obstacle or you may apply the brakes on whatever started earlier.  Have a long cool look before continuing (if you decide to).

On 10^th-11^th Mercury and Jupiter meet up in your 6th House of work, health, daily routine and service to others.  These two planets put the mind at its most positive.  Your communications will be upbeat and great ideas could crop up that can benefit your well-being and that of others.  Be ready to implement them.  .  Physical movement or a new exercise regime could be pleasurable too!

Mars and Pluto join forces in Capricorn from 17^th-19^th and these two have a strong impact when working together.  For Taureans they fall into your travel, deep study, ethics, legal and publishing zone.  If you have projects at lined up in any of these areas, your willpower and determination will be extra strong at this time.  Equally, you could run into others whose intentions are just as strong…  Make sure that if any misuse of power is happening, it doesn’t come from you.  And don’t be intimidated by others!  (Of course they’d be silly to try… )

Gemini:   Your romance, children and creativity zone is in an upward flow and when your ruling planet Mercury meets expansive Jupiter on 10^th-11^th, communications are a delight.  Jupiter is bringing growth and expansion to one or more of these areas of your life for the next 12 months so this isn’t just a flash in the pan.

The other area of activity is your 6th House of work, health and service to others.  Venus is passing through here until 18^th smoothing relations with colleagues and daily companions and enhancing your sense of well-being.  Pets if you have them or are considering them could also be a source of pleasure.

The tricky T-square mid-month that we’ll all experience places its main impact in your 8^th House of transformational processes: birth, sex and death, joint funds, taxes, debts inheritances and sharing.  Mars and Pluto are working together from 17^th-19^th which means much can be achieved but the energies unleashed can be hard to handle..

On 18^th Venus moves into your relationships and partnerships zone bringing ease and pleasure here too.  Things get more serious however when Venus runs into Saturn from 29^th-30^th when you may run into obstacles, put things on hold or even make a commitment!  Yes you!

Cancer:   The home front is lively this month and New Moon on 1^st marks the beginning of a new phase in your mother and home sphere.  Make resolutions for your domestic year ahead and for personal development.   Mercury and Jupiter meet up here too on 10^th-11^th and new expansive ideas could open up fresh possibilities.  Be ready to take them forward. 

Full Moon on 16^th falls in your travel, philosophy and ethics zone.  It’s conjunct Chiron which offers opportunities for healing or the realisation of areas that need healing.  Self-awareness is half the battle so be glad of this.

Relationships and partnerships are your other very active area which can include business partnerships too.  On 7^th Sun and Pluto square up to each other in a bid for power.  Then on 17^th-19^th Mars and Pluto join forces and a significant battle of wills could develop or intense interactions of some kind.  On 26^th-29^th Mars and Uranus are in conflict which could create a clash between partnerships and your ambitions or social standing in some way.  You must be honest with yourself about this.

Venus meets up with Saturn on 29^th-30^th in your work, health, daily routine and service to others zone.  This is not the time to take action in these areas but it is time to give them a long, cool look.  Next month you can apply your conclusions!

Leo:   For the first three weeks the Sun is in your communications zone, adding warmth and dazzle to whatever you have to say.  Mercury planet of communication is also moving through this area from 7^th-24^th adding to your mental, verbal and physical agility.  Best of all, Mercury meets Jupiter from 10^th-11^th putting your mind at its most positive and expansive.  Capture all the thoughts and ideas that come to you – for ongoing development.

The Sun squares up to Pluto on 7^th which may raise questions about who’s in charge or how power is being used.  An opposition to Uranus on 14^th-15^th further questions what or who is or isn’t being authentic…  This also forms part of a tense planetary line up where issues of power and the role of authority is under question.  Mars and Pluto meet up on 17^th-19^th which are an indomitable pair.  In terms of will power they’re extreme but the biggest danger is ruthlessness.  Make sure this isn’t coming from you and be ready to challenge it in others.

Mars and Pluto fall in your transformational areas of life zone – i.e. birth, sex and death.  Joint funds, the money of others, taxes, debts and inheritances also come into this area.  Sharing in all its many aspects is part of this too which includes how much you share of yourself on an intimate level.  Experiences in any of these areas could be both deep and transformational.

Venus wings its way through your mother and home zone till18th bringing pleasure through entertaining, beautifying the home or spending time with mother figures.  Then the Sun moves in on 22^nd continuing this theme.  Make time to enjoy the comforts of hearth and home.

Virgo:   Your 2^nd House of finance, security and values is super-active this month with a very fortunate meeting of Mercury and Jupiter from 10^th-11^th.  Make a note of good ideas that occur around then, as Jupiter planet of growth, expansion and opportunity is with you in this area of life for the next 12 months.  Your income, values and self-esteem are all available for growth and expansion too and where you get a sense of security from.  This may not be about money but in finding a sense of security from creativity or a value system that gives you a sense of security.

Communications are also a very active area with Venus lending you a silver tongue until 18^th and offering pleasure through physical movement and an ease in relations with neighbours and siblings.  The Sun also moves in on 22^nd followed by your ruling planet Mercury on 24^th, so lots of energy here all month.  If you have things to say or write, the words are ready and waiting.

The T-square (tricky planetary line up) mid-month will first be felt from 14^th-15^th in a clash between your finances and joint funds or ‘the money of others’.  Taxes, debts, inheritances and sharing (including yourself intimately) can come into this.  The focus then falls on romance, children and creativity from 17^th-19^th with a lot of intensity!  The final part of this dynamic comes on 26^th-29^th when romance, children and creativity clash with joint funds and sharing.  Don’t be coerced into meeting other people’s unreasonable demands.

Full Moon in the midst of this maelstrom on 16^th falls in your relationships and partnerships zone.  Chiron is close by too which in addition to high emotion, adds the theme of wounding and healing with the best scenario being healing your own (and perhaps other people’s) wounds.

On 18^th Venus moves into your mother and home zone, smoothing things along.  Entertaining, beautifying the home and spending time with mother figures can be sources of pleasure.  This comes to a halt though on 29^th-30^th when Venus runs into Saturn and things need to be looked at once again.  Take that look!

Libra:   The month begins with New Moon in your sign marking the beginning of your personal new year.  Make some resolutions for your year ahead.  Your ruling planet Venus continues to improve money and finance situations until 18th when it moves into your communications zone, helping you to charm others round to your way of thinking…

A lovely aspect between Mercury and Jupiter in your sign on 10^th-11^th puts your mind at its most positive.  Make a note of the ideas that crop up at that time for you to develop in the future. 

Challenging things are happening in your mother and home zone this month, starting on 7^th when Sun in your sign squares Pluto, followed by a Mars-Pluto conjunction on 17^th-19^th.  Power plays will be strong and applying your will or struggling against the will of others could be very intense.  26^th-29^th could bring about a clash between mother, home and personal development versus partnerships.  Again this is not a time for compromise.

The month ends with Venus meeting Saturn on 29^th-30^th which may require you to look hard at relationships, creativity or values to see what is now not serving your needs and how you would like to proceed.  This isn’t a month for the faint-hearted so summon up your courage to be at the ready!

Scorpio:   Your self-talk and creativity behind the scenes are looking good this month, especially around 10^th-11^th when Mercury and Jupiter meet up, heightening your compassion and positive thinking.  Venus is in your sign too until 18th which intensifies your charms, making you irresistible…  From 18^th Venus then moves into your finance zone which should help things along there too.

The month before your birthday is often a time of lowest ebb, as the Sun has been away from you for the longest time.  The Sun returns to Scorpio however on 22^nd bringing energy and a sense of renewal.  When we say ‘Many Happy Returns’ it refers to the return of the Sun to the same position as when you were born (your solar return).  Your birthday is your new year and it’s good and more meaningful to make New Year’s Resolutions for your year ahead now rather than on January 1^st. 

Your ruling planet Pluto has an interesting meeting with Mars from 17^th-19^th in your communications and physical movement, siblings and neighbours zone.  Exchanges could be intense and if you find yourself offering some home truths, make sure your words are measured and fair.  Alternatively this planetary combination could bring about a breakthrough in your own thought processes.  Be open to this possibility!

Full Moon on 16^th falls in your romance, children and creativity zone.  Chiron is involved to which adds the themes of wounding and healing.  Aim to heal old wounds.

Sagittarius:   Your ruling planet Jupiter gets to meet up with Mercury this month from 10^th-11^th which is good news for everyone, especially you!  This falls in your friends, groups, community and humanitarian ideals zone bringing great ideas, positive communications and good times! 

A lot of planetary activity is also going on behind the scenes in your 12^th House of compassion, the pain and suffering of others and your inner workings.  These areas are the most difficult for us to see clearly and the most difficult if not impossible for us to control.  That being the case, courage is needed and any commitment you can make to exploring these areas through therapy, spirituality, healing or prayer will be rewarded.

The T-square (challenging planetary line up) that we are all experiencing from 14^th-19^th impacts you first of all in clashes between your romance, children and creativity zone and your friends, groups and collective arena.  Then as Mars meets Pluto from 17^th-19^th, the focus falls very pointedly and intensely on money, possessions and values.  And you will want to take action based on your new insights. 

26^th-29^th brings a further clash of interest between on the one hand – romance, children and creativity and on the other – money, possessions, security and values.  This is immediately followed on 29^th-30^th by a meeting of Venus and Saturn in your sign which can be finding yourself in a lonely or isolating place and one in which you need to look at relationships, creativity and values.  Equally it could mean the taking on of a commitment.  Whichever it is, you’re likely to come face to face with what is truly important to you.  Stand up for whatever that is.

Capricorn:   This is likely to be a very memorable month as all manner of planetary combinations impact your sign.  Your 10^th House of father, career and social status is very lively too and New Moon in this area on 1^st is the beginning of your professional new year and you should make some resolutions to help your ambitions along in the year ahead.  Mercury and Jupiter also meet in this area on 10^th-11^th and a terrific new idea could (if developed) make your world a bigger place!

On 7^th Sun in your career zone clashes with Pluto in your sign, indicating the need for more inner change to meet the demands of the world.  The Sun opposite Uranus on 14^th-15^th shows up incompatible demands of career versus home or mother versus father or ambitions versus personal development.  Whichever it is, look for ways they can work together. 

Mars planet of goal-setting, applying your will, assertiveness and the assertive side of sexual expression and use of physical energy in general is in your sign all month.  Mars is exalted in Capricorn (works at its strongest) and your energy reserves should be high.  Mars and Pluto join forces in your sign from 17^th-19^th and little will be able to stop or block your will.  This is an intense energy and should only be used for high-minded purposes.  Be sure to use and apply it ethically. 

Mars in your sign also squares up to Uranus from 26^th-29^th, making you aware of further changes that are needed either at home or regarding mother figures or in your personal development.  The personal development aspect is echoed in a different way when Venus joins your ruling planet Saturn on 29^th-30^th.  This may draw you to a halt to examine your inner-workings.  Be open to the information it reveals!

Aquarius:   Your travel, philosophy, cultural and legal zone is an upbeat area this month as the Sun, Mercury and Jupiter bring energy and expansion.  10^th-11^th is especially fortuitous when Mercury and Jupiter meet, making your thinking broad and inclusive.  This is a great time for trips, embarking on courses of study, exploring the world of ethics, philosophy and different cultures.

Meanwhile Venus is smoothing interactions in your father, career and social status zone until 18^th.  If you need favours from people in authority, they’re likely to look favourably upon your request.  The Sun also enters this zone on 22^nd warming and energising your ambitions.  Mercury arrives too from 24^th helping communications and strategic agility.  Press ahead with your plans.

Your ruling planet Uranus clashes with the Sun and Pluto mid-month which involves you in the collective tension taking place from 14^th-19^th.  The outlet for this tension lands in your 12^th House of inner workings, spirituality, healing and compassion and work behind the scenes and your online life.  Both Mars and Pluto join forces here from 17^th-19^th which can bring breakthroughs of some kind.

Mars squares up to your ruling planet Uranus from 26^th-29^th urging you to speak your new truths, however difficult for others it may be to hear them.  Neighbours or siblings may be involved in this in some way.  New ideas, learning a new language or new forms of physical movement could also be possible outcomes.  Be open to all of your possibilities!

Pisces:   The Sun is illuminating your joint funds, and sharing zone until 22^nd which highlights taxes, debts, inheritances and ‘the money of others’.  Sharing includes the sharing of yourself on an intimate level, as well as materially.  And on 10^th-11^th Mercury and Jupiter join hands, expanding communications, positive self-expression and brilliant new ideas about how resources could be better used or shared.  Your ability to bring growth to people in crisis through your way of communicating is another avenue open to you.  And as you know, communications start with listening.

Full Moon falls in your sign on 16^th which raises emotions.  Chiron which has been moving through Pisces since 2010 is also involved which adds the themes of wounding and healing to the emotional mix.  The best scenario is healing your wounds and perhaps those of others.

This possibility of healing comes at a very pertinent time as the T-square (difficult planetary line-up) mid-month will challenge us all.  From 14^th-15^th Sun opposes Uranus which brings up contradictory pulls between your money, possessions, security and values zone and your joint funds, intimacy and sharing zone.  Then from 17^th-19^th this tension springs out at a third point – as Mars and Pluto join forces in your friends, groups, community, organisations and humanitarian ideals zone.  This is an intense focus and your urge to take action will be almost compulsive!

Your travel, studies, ethics, philosophy and legal zone is also very active this month.  Venus smoothes things along until 18^th, followed by the Sun on 22^nd  and Mercury on 24^th.  Venus enters your father and career zone from 18th.  People in positions of power will look upon you favourably.  If you need favours, just ask. 

Obstacles or extra responsibilities will cause you to pause and reflect on dealings with father figures, your career or social status around 29^th-30^th.  Don’t resent this apparent holdup.  It’s an opportunity to double-check that your path is clear so your progress will be true.

Aries:   If your love life has been flagging recently, help is at hand as Venus smoothes your relationships and partnerships zone until 23^rd and is then immediately replaced by the Sun.  Even better, on 9^th Jupiter glides in too for a 14-month stay!  This could bring new partners into your fold or opportunities for growth and expansion in existing partnerships (business as well as personal). 

People from different countries or cultures or someone of a religious or philosophical outlook could turn up.  Whether already in a partnership or looking, the need for growth is strong and if an existing relationship isn’t moving, you might extract yourself from it, in search of one that is.

Your ruling planet Mars is galloping through Sag for most of the month.  You will love the sense of adventure this brings and especially the weekend of 16^th-18^th when it teams up with Uranus for surprising boisterous fun.  Venus is involved too so who knows?..

Mercury goes direct on 22^nd improving communications (and possibly physical agility) in your work and health zone.  Pluto which has been retrograde since mid-April, also goes direct a few days later on 26^th which helps your ambitions which have been under review, to move forward too.  This is followed by Mars jumping in on 27^th which means double acceleration!  Enjoy the ride!

Taurus:   New Moon on 1^st marks the beginning of your romance, children and creativity New Year.  This also involves a solar eclipse which belongs to an eclipse family gearing us towards being realistic.  As Taurean are some of the most realistic people in the zodiac, this should resonate well with you.  Make some resolutions for the year ahead in your New Moon areas.  

Jupiter changes signs on 9^th and moves into your 6^th House of work, health and service to others for over a year.  Jupiter brings growth, expansion and opportunities so be on the lookout for all of these in the year ahead.  Work in other countries or dealings with people from different countries or cultures could feature strongly or a promotion or rise in status could occur too or growth in your relationships with colleagues and daily companions (including pets).

Healthwise, attending to your needs could be an area for growth or a new regime or programme of exercise could bring a happy change.  The only area to watch out for is excess of any kind as Jupiter can at worst lead to overindulgent extremes (not to mention extra weight)…  Your daily routine is up for expansion too so be open to exploring what that could include.

On 22^nd Mercury goes direct, helping your romance, children and creativity zone to move forwards.  And on 23^rd Venus moves into your relationships and partnerships zone which might find you being more open to the charms of others.  Existing partnerships should run more smoothly too.  Whether new or old, enjoy the attentions of your suitors!

Gemini:   New Moon on 1^st is in your mother, home, roots and foundations zone and is the beginning of your domestic New Year.  The solar eclipse will help to focus your attention on your needs in these areas.  Make some resolutions for the year ahead that will help these to be met.   

Romance, children and creativity also take off this month as Venus glides through until 23^rd followed by the Sun.  Even more significant is Jupiter’s arrival in this area of your solar chart on 9^th.  Opportunities for growth and expansion are all on the agenda for the next 14 months so be aware of all of the possibilities which arise during this period.

Your ruling planet Mercury meets Jupiter on 1^st – 2^nd producing new ideas to follow up.  Mercury also goes direct on 22^nd which helps with communications and changes on the home front.  Pluto also goes direct on 26^th in your joint finance zone after five months in reverse.  Mars leaps in too the next day on 27^th, firing your determination to now push things forward.

Venus brings pleasure to your work, health, service to others and daily routine from 23^rd.  Relationships with colleagues and daily companions also run smoothly.  Enjoy the simple pleasures of your everyday life!       

Cancer:   Jupiter the biggest planet is special to Cancer as it is exalted (or works at its best) in your sign.  On 9^th it doesn’t move into your sign but it does move into your favourite area of mother and home and it’s going to stay there for over a year! 

Jupiter is planet of growth expansion and opportunity and during this period your home or family could become ‘bigger’ in some way.  This could mean an extension or a home in another country or a more philosophical or more nurturing home in some way.  Your relationship with mother figures could also expand or you may find personal growth through a nurturing role you find yourself in.  

Personal development is another possible area for growth and expansion so be open to that too.  Therapy or any form of exploration to understand yourself, your roots, foundations, early life and your inner workings better could also bring about great positive change.  

Towards the end of the month communications improve when Mercury goes direct on 22^nd.  Relationships and partnerships also start to make progress as Pluto goes direct on 26^th and Mars leaps in on 27^th giving you added energy and determination to push things forward once again.

Leo:   Finances are still lively this month.  The Sun is shedding light here until 22^nd and Mercury starts to move forward on the same day which is also a help in making things clearer.  A good aspect between the Sun and Pluto on 7^th helps on the work, health and income front too. 

The new area of interest though is your 3^rd House of communications.  Venus is here until 23^rd helping you to charm others through the way you speak or express yourself and the Sun arrives for a month-long stay on 22^nd. 

The big news though is Jupiter, the biggest planet of all moves in on 9th and is staying for over a year.  Jupiter is planet of growth, expansion and opportunity which can open things up in the way you think, the different ways you express yourself, the passing on or gathering of information, new languages, trading and movement.  There can also be growth in your dealings with neighbours and siblings.  New forms of physical movement can open up new ways of thinking too.

There’s also a gear change towards the end of the month in your work, health, service to others and daily routine zone when Pluto goes direct on 26^th after five months in reverse and Mars jumps in to push things forward in these areas from 27^th – full speed ahead!

Virgo:   New Moon in Virgo on 1^st marks the beginning of your personal new year so make some resolutions to enhance your emotional well-being.  This New Moon also involves a solar eclipse belonging to a grounded, realistic eclipse family but as most Virgos already have these qualities in abundance, this should be comfortable too. 

Venus and then the Sun are helping to improve your finances this month and even better, Jupiter planet of growth, expansion and opportunity should be a significant help when it moves into this area of your solar chart on 9^th and stays for 14 months! 

Jupiter is the biggest planet in our solar system and brings growth, expansion and opportunities.  This could represent financial growth, more prestigious employment or work overseas or with different cultures or a change of values which gives you a stronger sense of security, perhaps through a new philosophy or through creativity.  This is all positive and the only danger is financially extending yourself too far, so keep this in mind.

Your ruling planet Mercury goes direct on 22^nd which should help communications along and Venus moving into your communications zone on 23^rd will give your words extra charm.  Pluto goes direct on 26^th in your romance, children and creativity zone and Mars moves into this same area the following day, heating up passions and determination!  Looks interesting…

Libra:   The month before our birthday the Sun has been away from us for the longest time and we are often at low ebb.  This month however the Sun returns to your sign on 22^nd re-energising you and bringing a sense of renewal.  

It’s a good month for other reasons too as your ruling planet Venus is in your sign until 23^rd, adding to your charms and making you darling of the zodiac!  Not to mention Jupiter – planet of growth, expansion and opportunity which moves into Libra for over a year on 9^th!  This is good for overall buoyancy and optimism and introduces a more adventurous approach to life.  Jupiter only visits every 12 years so be ready to make the most of the opportunities which present themselves in the year ahead. 

On 23^rd Venus helpfully enters your finance zone and on 26^th Pluto goes direct in your mother and home zone opening the way for progress here too.  This could indicate domestic repairs or transformation of some kind, a moving forward of dynamics in the home or progress in your personal development.  Mars moves in the following day to make sure there’s no going back!

Scorpio:   Scorpios are usually fearless in looking at themselves and their inner workings honestly.  This month, this should start to get a whole lot easier as Venus is helping things along here until 23^rd but of much more significance, Jupiter moves in on 9^th and is going to stay in your 12^th House for over a year!

This will bring many opportunities for growth and expansion in consciousness raising, spirituality, acts of compassion to those less fortunate, creativity behind the scenes, self-talk and attention to your inner workings.  Any training in meditation or consciousness-raising techniques should go well and embarking on the adventure of therapy would also bring very rich and helpful fruits.

Meanwhile Venus moves into your sign on 23^rd adding to your charisma and making you darling of the zodiac for a month.  Your ruling planet Pluto also goes direct on 26^th after being retrograde since mid-March.  This completes a deep review in how you think, communicate and move (and possibly how you relate to siblings and neighbours).  Having hopefully examined these areas during the last five months, you can now apply your new understanding and move forwards. 

Mars also leaps into your thought and communications zone on 27^th adding to your new resolve.  With this determination, energy and strength of mind, you can think and talk your way to wherever you’d like to be!

Sagittarius:   Your ruling planet Jupiter is on the move this month, having completed a year in your father, career and social status zone it’s now moving into your 11^th House of friends, groups, community and humanitarian ideals.   

Jupiter is planet of growth expansion and opportunity so its new arrival on 9^th can lead to a year of new friends from other countries or cultures or of a philosophical outlook, groups which expand your consciousness, happy experiences within a new or existing community and a growing awareness about the misfortunes and needs of your fellow humans.  Be open to all that you will learn.

Mars makes its final gallop through your sign this month and makes a riotous aspect to Uranus on the weekend of 16^th-18^th.  Mars then leaves your sign on 27^th after spending a total of four months in your sign this year!  Its new area of action is your finance and security zone and Pluto’s forward movement on 26^th in this same area (after five months in reverse) makes this a doubly welcome change!  You’ll be at your enterprising best as these two planets rev things up and your determination to increase your income or achieve security in other ways will move anyone blocking your path. 

Spending time with friends is pleasurable this month while Venus and then the Sun linger in your collective zone.  This is important too as well as your go-getting quest.

Capricorn:   There’s lots of planetary activity that catches you personally towards the end of the month but before then Jupiter the biggest planet in our solar system glides into your father, career and status zone on 9^th bringing growth, expansion and opportunities in one or more of these areas.  These are Capricorn’s favourite areas and Jupiter is going to be here for a year so be ready to grasp the opportunities which arise.  Your ambitions have the planetary wind behind them and your world view could expand too. 

Venus is also moving through this area until 23^rd which attracts the help of people in positions of authority.  If you need favours, don’t be afraid to ask.  Venus then enters your friends, groups, community and humanitarian ideals zone.  Make time to enjoy these too.

Mercury goes direct in your travel, legal and ethical zone on 22^nd which helps to improve communications and movement.  Pluto also goes direct in your sign on 26^th completing a deep review of who you now are and how that should be expressed.  This began mid-March and hopefully having grown in self-understanding you can now apply your conclusions about the best way to move forward.

Last but not least Mars enters your sign on 27^th bringing energy, determination and dynamism.  This follows Pluto going direct the day before so the gear change is double strength for pushing forward and applying your will.  Make sure your goals are ethical, then forge ahead, little can stop you!

Aquarius:   Pleasure through travel, study and interactions with different cultures is high this month as Venus and then the Sun light up these areas of life.  On 9^th though Jupiter jumps in bringing growth and expansion for a year!  Opportunities will come along and it’s important to be on the lookout for them and to be ready to respond. 

Travel opportunities could increase, as could your worldly awareness through exploring different cultures and religions and the higher mind.  Deep study of any kind will be fruitful.  It’s also good for publishing and legal cases and a growth or strengthening of your principles.

On a lighter front, Mars aspects your ruling planet Uranus on the weekend of 16^th-18^th which offers excitement and/or good fun!  Then Venus moves into your father, career and social status zone on 23^rd smoothing your career path and softening the view of authority figures towards you.  Ask for favours if you need them.

On 26^th Pluto which has been going backwards since mid-March in your inner-workings zone, goes direct and Mars leaps in to add it’s forthrightness on 27^th.  Self-realization and any ways in which you undermine yourself are becoming more conscious. Self-awareness is more than half the battle and the determination to turn this in a more positive direction is available as these two planets move forward together. 

Creative work behind the scenes is also an open avenue to explore and take action in, along with active compassion towards those less fortunate, healing and spiritual development.

Pisces:   Saturn continues to square your ruling planet Neptune all month and in particular during the first ten days.  You will probably be used to this by now as the ongoing misty process of change within your identity collides with earlier professional ideals and requirements.  

After a year of bringing expansion to relationships and partnerships, on 9^th Jupiter moves into your 8^th House of joint funds (including taxes, debts and inheritances) and the transformational processes of life (birth, sex and death).  Jupiter is planet of growth expansion and opportunity so one or more of these arenas could become areas that make your life ‘bigger’ in some way.  Be open to these opportunities.

Mercury goes direct in your partnerships zone on 22^nd helping communications along.  Pluto also goes direct on 26^th in your 11^th House of friends groups, community and humanitarian ideals.  A deep review has been taking place in this area of your solar chart since mid-March and now that the process is complete, you can put your conclusions into action.  Just one day later on 27^th Mars leaps into this area of your chart too, bringing a whoosh of fresh energy.  Go with it!

Aries:   Your ruling planet Mars moves into Sag on 2nd which will make you active on the exploration front.  Travel, deep study, philosophy or ethical matters leap into action.  It would be good to give those legs a stretch too. 

New Moon in Leo is also on 2nd.  This should suit you nicely as this and Mars are in your fellow Fire signs.  Make the most of the first half of the month and enjoy the creative Sun-Uranus line-up on 15th-16th which is a perfect outlet for your eccentricities! 

From 18th-24th Mars runs into Saturn which can be frustrating…  The planet of assertiveness meeting the planet of restrictions isn’t one of your favourite scenarios.  We have to work with what we’re given however.  And if you can knuckle down to accepting rules and regulations, manage to pace your energy and find patience when needed, progress can still be made.  Slow motion isn’t your favourite approach but look upon it as a chance to develop your style.

Taurus:   The main emphasis this month is in your romance, children and creativity zone.  Venus is smoothing things along here, bringing ease and pleasure (apart from a hiccup on 13th-14th).  When Venus joins Jupiter on 26th-28th good times are waiting for you.

Mars in your 8th House is urging you all month to sort out joint finances, including taxes, debts, inheritances and sharing.  (The sharing of yourself intimately comes into this too).  Saturn has been creating a block in one or more of these areas of life since March but this too goes direct on 13th enabling progress once again.  The meeting of Mars and Saturn here from 18th-24th may not be comfortable.  Apply your Taurean endurance and determination to get through to the other side.

Creative ideas are at their bubbling best from 21st-22nd.  Make a note of everything that comes to mind so that none of them get lost in the rush.  Only when the mind is at its most positive do we become aware of our full potential.  This is one of those times.

Gemini:   Everything’s happening in your mother and home zone which includes self-nurture and personal development.  When Venus moves through from 5th-30th you maybeautify your home or entertain others in it.  And when Venus meets Jupiter from 26th-28th gather others around you for good times.

On 2nd Mars moves into your relationships and partnerships zone.  This could either send you off in hot pursuit of a desirable someone or make you more assertive (or argumentative) in a current partnership.  Saturn has been weighing things down in this area of your life for some time and even more so since late March when it went retrograde to review the events of last winter.  Saturn goes direct once again on 13th which makes further progress possible but Mars runs into it from 18th-24th making things quite uncomfortable.

Your ruling planet Mercury works decisively on 10th when strong communications are needed and from 21st-22nd when Mercury meets Jupiter putting your mind at its most positive.  Capture all the possibilities that occur to you and make a note of them for future expansion.  These ideas are gold dust to build on, don’t let them escape!

Cancer:   New Moon on 2nd falls in your money zone, marking the beginning of your Financial New Year.  Mars moves into your work and health zone on the same day which is a double prod for you to make some resolutions about money matters, work and health. 

Saturn has been weighing down your 6th House of work and health for some time, causing restrictions, responsibilities and delays.  It has also been retrograde since late March in order to carry our a review of events last winter.  On 13th Saturn thankfully goes direct but Mars joins it from 18th-24th.  Mars will want to push ahead with plans but Saturn won’t be rushed so there may be frustrations around this time.

Your mind will be at its most positive around 21st-22nd when Mercury meets Jupiter in your 3rd House of communication.  Make a note of any ideas that come to mind at this time so they don’t get lost of forgotten. 

Venus meets Jupiter from 26th-28th which offers pleasure through communications or physical movement.  Seek out others to enjoy it with!  

Leo:   New Moon is in your sign on 2nd which marks the beginning of your emotional New Year.  This coincides with Mars moving into your 5th House of romance, children and creativity so there’s a distinct gear change at the start of this month. 

Mars could make you more amorous and you may persue a certain someone with more determination than usual.  Creative expression could take off too.  Make the most of this during the first half of the month as from 18th-24th Mars runs into Saturn which may bring progress to a halt.  Saturn has been weighing down these areas of life for some time and even more so since late March when it went retrograde.  This was to carry out a review of events last winter. 

Although Saturn goes direct on 13th, it’s still moving very slowly and a meeting of Mars (the planet of assertiveness) and Saturn (planet of restrictions) is rarely a comfortable e perience.  It can provide an opportunity though to review how you’ve been dealing with goal setting, applying your will, assertiveness, sexual expression and use of physical energy in general in relation to romance, children and creativity.  Sports could come into this too and speculation.

Virgo:   The month before our birthday we are often at lowest ebb as the Sun has-been away from us for the longest time.  But Sun re-enters your sign on 22nd bringing warmth, energy and renewal.  When people say Many Happy Returns they often don’t realise this refers to the solar return.  Your birthday is your New Year, not January 1st (unless you happen to be a Capricorn born on that date) and it marks the beginning of your personal New Year.

Other planets are busy in your sign too.  On 5th Venus moves into Virgo until 30th, adding to your charms and making you darling of the zodiac.  The 13th and 14th could be tricky but other than that, enjoy your popularity! 

Jupiter is also still with you and there are two lovely meet ups with it this month.  On 21st-22ndyour ruling planet Mercury joins Jupiter making your mind fantastically positive.  Only when this is the case do we become aware of our full potential in life and the wonderful ideas we can bring to fruition.  Make a note of every idea that occurs to you during this period for future development.

Saturn goes direct on 13th making progress once again possible in your mother and home sphere.  Mars leaps into this area too on 2nd bringing energy and wanting to assert itself.  Good headway can be made on the mother and home front during the first half of the month but then Mars meets Saturn causing aggravation….  Self nurturing and personL development come into this sphere too so be open to addressing any underlying issues that you’re presented with during this period.

Venus and Jupiter meet in your sign from 26th-28th and you’ll be feeling upbeat and sociable.  Put aside work and make time for pleasure with others!

Libra:   Communications may heat up during the first half of this month as Mars hits your 3rd House of ideas, movement and information.  You may be more assertive than usual.  And people (especially siblings or neighbours) may get a stronger reaction from you than they expect… 

Getting some exercise would be good and as Mars heads towards and meets Saturn from 18th-24th lessons in disciplined movement (such as martial arts, yoga or breathing meditation) could be helpful.  This and Saturn’s forward movement on 13th could also help to lift the heaviness that has been weighing on your mind since last September.

Mid-month on 15th-16th your ruling planet Venus joins the North Node of the Moon.  This puts you in tune with the moment and endows you with the gift to respond in a collectively helpful way.  Your unconscious is working well too on 21st-22nd and again from 26th-28th.  Act on what it’s telling you.

Scorpio:   On 2nd Mars moves into your 2nd House of money, possessions, security, values and self-esteem zone which spurs you into action.  Saturn which has been retrograde since late March has been carrying out a review of events last winter in one or more of these areas but it too goes direct on 13th.  Progress is once again possible but the meeting of Mars and Saturn from 18th-24th may be testing…

Also on 2nd is New Moon that evenin, marking the beginning of your professional New Year.  This is a good time to make resolutions for the year ahead regarding your dealings with or as a father, your ambitions and your social status.

Mercury and Jupiter meet up from 21st-22nd making for positive thoughts and communications regarding friends, groups, community and humanitarian ideals.  Only when our mind is at its most positive do we become aware of all the possibilities.  Be open to them all.

Plan social or community events for 26th-28th when the meeting of Venus and Jupiter promise good times!

Sagittarius:   Mars leaps into your sign on 2nd bringing extra energy and assertiveness and New Moon occurs that evening too marking a new cycle in your travel, deep studies and ethics zone.  Other cultures and philosophies could come into this too.  It’s time to explore.

Mars forges ahead during the first half of the month but then runs up against Saturn which has been weighing heavily on you for some time.  This has been even more intense since late March when it went retrograde to revisit how you dealt with things last winter.  The good news is that Saturn goes direct on 13th so onward movement once again.  Mars however catches up with it from 18th-24th which results in something like internal warfare…  Be steadfast and honest with yourself about issues that come up then.

Pleasures await later in the month.  On 21st -22nd your mind is on a positive high and new possibilities are visible from this lofty perspective – follow them up!  Also from 26th-28th Venus joins your ruling planet Jupiter which helps massively in your father, career and social status zone.  Good times are on offer too and professional expansion.  If your ambitions need a kick start, here it is!

Capricorn:  New Moon on the evening of 2nd marks a new phase in your joint finance zone.  This includes taxes, debts, inheritances and sharing.  Sharing yourself on a physical level comes into this too.  Make some resolutions for the year ahead.  

Big decisions or tricky communications go well on 10th.  Your ruling planet Saturn goes direct on 13th after four months in retrograde.  This means you can stop going over events last winter and move on.  Mars however is stirring things up behind the scenes this month and anything you’ve been sweeping under the carpet may make itself apparent.

Mercury and Jupiter bring in a positive mindset around 21st-22nd.  Your mind will be working at its widest and it’s best.  From 26th-28th put generous thoughts into words and into action!

Aquarius:   New Moon on 2nd in your relationships and partnerships zone marks the beginning of a new cycle.  Make some resolutions that will help to create the conditions you would like to find here in the year ahead. 

Another event on the same day is Mars’s move into your collective zone.  This will make you keen to assert yourself with friends, groups, community and about humanitarian ideals.  The coast is clear here for the first half of the month but from 18th-24th Mars runs into Saturn which has been holding things up for some months.  Mars and Saturn operate completely differently from each other, so this may not be a comfortable period and you may have to follow the rules to make progress.

Full Moon in your sign on the morning of 18th finds an emotional you.  And around the 21st-22nd be on the lookout for brainwaves about joint funds (which includes taxes, debts and inheritances) and the best way to share resources.  

Make time for others and extend your generosity around 26th-28th when Venus and Jupiter meet.  You could also benefit from ‘the money of others’ but rather than sitting around hoping for this, share what you have.  You will benefit in well-being (and karma) if you do.  

Pisces:   There’s lots of action in your relationships and partnerships zone this month.  Venus smooths things pleasurably along from 5th-30th (apart from a hiccup on 13th-14th) and planetary meet-ups with Jupiter bring a sense of optimism and expansion later in the month.

New Moon on 2nd falls in your work, health and service to others zone.  This marks the beginning of a new cycle which includes your daily routine.  Make some resolutions to improve your daily well-being in the year ahead.

Mars enters your father, career and social status zone from 2nd heating up your ambitions but it runs into Saturn from 18th-24th.  Headway slows right down then as underlying issues need to be examined.  Saturn has been doing this for some time and has been particularly exacting since late March when it went retrograde.  It helpfully goes direct on 13th indicating that issues from last winter are now better understood.  This Mars-Saturn meeting may be uncomfortable but welcome the realisations it offers.

Communications with partners are at their most positive around 21st-22nd and good times are on offer from 26th-28th.  Allow yourself some light relief.  You’ve earned it!

Aries:   Your ruling planet Mars is at odds with Uranus which is slowly moving through your sign. This creates a dilemma as your natural Martial urge is to make headway whereas Uranus in your sign is challenging you to be the pure uncompromised version of yourself. Mars is presently in your 8th House of joint funds and sharing (financially and intimately) and you want to push ahead here but Uranus is asking – is this really you? You have until 14th to fathom this out.

Meanwhile, three personal planets are bringing pleasure to your mother and home zone and you may want to beautify your nest or invite others to share it. There’s some conflict though between this and your worldly ambitions between 1st – 7th.

Mars is in good aspect to Chiron all month which can help with healing your inner workings and from 5th – 16th they form a positive Grand Trine with three other planets. This provides a healing emotional flow which is also an important opportunity this month. Let it flow!

Taurus:    Ideas are flowing as three personal planets pass through your communications zone during the first three weeks of the month and you might be zipping about physically yourself. Relations with siblings and neighbours should be good and shopping might hold some extra appeal…

From 12th these planets move one by one into your mother and home zone, starting with Venus and you will probably want to beautify your home or invite others to share its pleasures. Sun is the last to arrive on 22nd and self-expression at home or through nurturing (yourself and others) feels important. Personal development is an area to explore too.

Mars is making headway in your 7th House of relationships and partnerships all month which can either arouse desires or cause friction or both. This runs counter to Uranus until 14th which is warning you not to compromise yourself, if that seems to be the cost. Your individuality and growth are paramount and repeating unhelpful emotional patterns might not be the best use of your time. So the question is – are you? You may not be but self awareness is half the battle.

Gemini:    The first half of the month throws emphasis onto your money, possessions, security and values zone as Venus, Mercury and the Sum pass through. This is usually positive for income although people you’re financially linked with may make heavy demands on joint funds during the first week.

The three planets above are part of a lovely Grand Trinewhich creates a circuit of positive energy between your income, work and social status zones bringing a feeling that all is well in these areas at least. And this continues from 6th -16th. New Moon on 4th falls in your finance zone too, marking the beginning of your financial new year. This is a perfect time to make some fiscal resolutions and plans for the 12 months ahead.

One by one these three personal planets move out of your finance zone into your 3rd House of communications which includes trading, teaching, short journeys and dealings with siblings and neighbours. This House is Gemini’s home ground and favourite and many social and mental delights will be on offer from 12th onwards.

Jupiter gets clear of Saturn and Neptune from 20th, bringing growth and expansion to your mother and home zone which has been stifled for some time. Self nurture and personal development can take off too. Fly with them!

Cancer:   Venus in your sign until 12th means your charms are still at their height and Sun in your sign also adds to your vibrancy until 22nd. New Moon on 4th is in Cancer too and marks the beginning of your personal New Year. Make some resolutions for your year ahead.

Some opposition seems to be coming from Pluto in your partnership zone until 7th. But support from other planets is strong as the Grand Trine (mentioned above) brings a positive, emotional and healing flow.

Part of this is Mars surging forwards in your romance, children and creativity zone, bringing energy and determination. This is good for making progress but Uranus in your 10th House of father, career and social status is not behind this in some way and you have until 14th to unravel the different strands involved.

As Venus, Mercury and the Sun leave your sign, they one by one move into your finance zone, starting on 12th which should improve your income or self-esteem in some way. Can’t be bad!

Leo:   Mars is once again making headway in your mother, home and personal development zone but Uranus is pulling in a different direction during the first two weeks of the month. This is coming from your travel, deep study, legal and ethics zone where you don’t want any restrictions right now. This friction should have run its course by 14th though.

The month before our birthday, we’re often at lowest ebb as the Sun has been away from us for the longest time. But when it returns to our sign, we experience a sense of renewal and our energy is restored back to our full-force, vibrant selves.

This applies to us all but as the ruling planet for Leos is the Sun, this annual process of renewal is especially important for you. The Sun moves into Leo on 22nd. And when the Sun returns to the same degree as when you were born (around you birthday), we call this a solar return and it’s the beginning of your New Year. Make some resolutions!

There is more good news before then, as Venus enters your sign on 12th making you darling of the zodiac. Mercury follows on 14th so you’ll have lots of ideas to express and share too. Venus makes a positive aspect to Saturn on 19th – 20th which is good for disciplined creativity and there can be a concrete outcome if you seriously apply your talents and skills!

Virgo:    Activity in your friends, group, community and humanitarian ideals zone starts the month with Venus offering good relations and pleasure. The need for personal creativity may get in the way of collective achievement in some way during the first week of July but support from a Grand Trine (a very fortunate line-up of planets) keeps your group projects buoyant.

Mars is now forging ahead in your communications zone keeping your mind positive and you may be more assertive than usual which is no bad thing and can actually be helpful in relationships and partnerships.

Jupiter in Virgo which should have been bringing expansion to you has been bogged down by Saturn and Neptune during the last few months but on 20th it gets clear of them both and a sense of optimism about your present and future possibilities returns.

Full Moon on 19th raises emotions in your romance, children and creativity zone. Express them!

Libra:   Planetary emphasis in your father, career and social status zone during the first half of the month is good for ambitions and people in positions of power will feel inclined to grant you favours if you ask before 12th. Murmurings from home or even eruptions may run counter to your ambitions though from 1st – 7th.

A Grand Trine is helping your public life and your finances as Mars makes headway and provides the energy to work on new or further streams of income. Partners (business or personal) may not be fully behind this though and some discomfort is around until 14th as these twoareas of life collide.

On 12th your ruling planet Venus moves into yourgroups, friends, community and humanitarian ideals zone. This is followed on 14th by Mercury and by the Sun on 22nd. Make time to enjoy them all!

Scorpio:    Three planets are opposite your ruling planet Pluto during the first week of the month, bringing emotional intensity and possible power plays to the fore. Mars is charging your energy levels and assertiveness all month too. This means you can push ahead with your ambitions and wishes and cover a lot of ground in a short time.

The only fly in the ointment seems to be coming from Uranus in your 6th House of work, health, service to others and daily routine. Your unwillingness to compromise or your need for freedom in these areas Is at odds with Mars until 14th. However Mars is in a Grand Trine with Chiron and with Sun, Mercury and Venus as they pass by. They’re all in water signs which gives a series of positive emotional circuits from 5th – 16th.

Planetary and ego energies are strong this month and could be tricky to handle. Insisting on being right isn’t a good use of them. While valuing your mettle and self-assurance, resist the temptation to impose your will or opinions on others. And if the urge arises, use it internally to explore power patterns in your relationships.

Sagittarius:    Planets are highlighting your 8th House of transformation, joint funds and sharing (both financially and intimately), bringing pleasure until 22nd. Concerns about your actual income may cloud the skies during the first week of the month and at Full Moon on 19th but your 8th House planets form part of a lovely Grand Trine with Mars and Chiron which offer the energy to seek positive outcomes.

From 12th Venus moves into your travel, deep study and ethics zone, followed two days later by Mercury and then Sun from 22nd. If you can, arrange trips away or cultural exploration closer to home if time is tight. Your general outlook should be good which in itself attracts interesting opportunities.

Your ruling planet Jupiter gets clear of Saturn and Neptune from 20th which means clear steering ahead in your father, career and social status zone. This will come as a relief after being bogged down by the other two planets over the last few months. Optimism may have been hard to find during that period but you can pick up the badge once again, dust it off, give it a polish and off you go!

Capricorn:    Venus, Mercury and then Sun start the month in your 7th House of relationships and partnerships, offering harmony, good communications and pleasure but some aspect of yourself can’t seem to relax into this and may actually be stirring up conflict between 1st – 7th. Don’t blame others for this as your own dynamics are behind it…

Mars is pushing energy into your friends, groups, community and organisations zone all month which works well with partnerships and ideas. It can also help to heal communications with neighbours and siblings and improve your flexibility including physical movement.

Your ruling planet Saturn is still squaring up to Neptune which brings up the theme of reality versus the dream. The opportunity on offer is to explore how the workings of your unconscious effect your thinking. With Saturn on board some kind of disciplined practice is recommended such as meditation or spiritual practice.

Full Moon on 19th is in Capricorn and finds an emotional you. Be open to the material it presents.

Aquarius:    Uranus your ruling planet spends the first half of the month at odds with Mars which wants to make headway in your father, career and social status zone but your mindset doesn’t quite agree. Other planets also disagree with Uranus in passing but for better or worse you will keep to your tune…

Meanwhile planets in your 6th House are making work and health enjoyable areas and relations with colleagues should be good too. New Moon on 4th is also in this area of your solar chart and is the perfect day to start a new regime to improve your health, well-being and daily routine.

On 12th Venus moves into your relationships and partnerships zone, followed by Mercury on 14th and the Sun on 22nd. This helps relating, communications and self-expression and you may be more susceptible than usual to the charms of others…

Pisces:    A Grand Trine of planets (a very positive formation) is supporting Chiron in Pisces which can have a healing effect on youridentity and sense of self from 5th – 16th. Yourromance, children and creativity zone is involved in this too and offers pleasure until 22nd. Your travel, study, publishing, legal and ethics zone is the third area involved where Mars is forging onwards. Uncertainty about your finances may block progress here though until after 14th.

Uranus in your 2nd House creating disruption to finances and security also scuppers the range of romantic or creative expression from 7th – 16th. Living with uncertainty is something we do all the time but often don’t realise it due to the buffers we have in place. With Uranus here though, the buffers don’t seem to work and we have to face life head on. This is no different to usual but it feels different. Acknowledge these feelings but don’t be defeated by them.

Saturn continues to keep Neptune in Pisces pinned to the ground and unable to take flights of fancy. This is restrictive for Neptune but you have most of this year to get used to it… Jupiter gets clear of these two though from 20th which brings a sense of optimism and opportunities to relationships and partnerships which has been missing for some time. This is something to be grateful for and celebrate. Time for growth and expansion!

Aries:  Nervous energy is high during the first week of the month as a collection of planets dash through your 3rd House of communications, trading and dealings with neighbours or siblings and once again from 19th – 23rd.  This upsets three apple carts: that of your travel, legal and ethics zone and also your work, health and service to others zone plus spiritual ideals.

This high-pitched dynamic is happening globally.  We’re all in this together and you more than most will want to take action but your ruling planet Mars is retrograde until 29th so you may just have to bear the discomfort until then.  Even so an aspect between Mars and Uranus (which is in Aries) may trigger one of your unique brainwaves between 9th – 12th or from 29th, so be on the lookout for flashes of brilliance!

Meanwhile, more exercise might help and further attention to intimacy, joint funds and sharing – all possible areas that Mars is still currently reviewing until 29th.  After that, with a better understanding of what needs doing, you’ll be ready to move forwards!

Taurus:  Your financial and security area looks very busy this month as three fast-moving planets dash through.  They’re in difficult aspect to three slower-moving planets though which makes for uncertainty, lack of clarity and possibly not the best behaviour from others…  This may be more noticeable during the fIrst week of the month and again from 19th – 23rd.  There could be disputes around 9th too.

New Moon falls in your income and security zone on 5th too which is a good day to make new financial plans for the year ahead and perhaps consider your values too.  Joint funds, intimacy and sharing are presented emotionally once again in the build-up to Full Moon on the morning of 20th.  This is the second month Full Moon that has been in Sag. which provides a second chance to resolve whatever needs resolving here.

Mars continues its retrograde movement through your 7th House for most of the month pressing you to review your recent position on relationships and partnerships.  It goes direct on 29th though so progress could be at hand.  The end of the month from 25th is emotionally, financially or creatively interesting and intense on a number of counts as your ruling planet Venus encounters Saturn, Neptune and then Pluto – a week to remember!

Gemini:  Venus in your sign is adding to your charms until 17th when it moves on to improve your finances for the rest of the month.  Despite winning the popularity stakes though, things are tricky… 

The Sun and Venus in your sign get caught up with a difficult dynamic between Jupiter, Saturn and Neptune from 1st – 7th which could be tense.  Of course as the zodiac’s prime communicator, you’ll find the words needed to skate over difficulties but when your ruling planet Mercury runs into the same planetary line up from 19th – 23rd, even you might be lost for words!

The areas of life likely to throw up conflicting demands are father, career and social status versus mother, home and personal development; and also partnerships versus who you now are…  New Moon falls in Gemini on 5th during this period too which marks your personal New Year.  Despite the dynamics facing you, make some New Year’s Resolutions to improve your emotional life in the year ahead.

For a second month running, Full Moon on 20th is in Sag your opposite sign which once again raises the emotional stakes in partnerships.  This time it’s at the end of the sign and having had a month to think about it, your responses should now be more in balance.  Second time lucky!

Cancer:  So many things are going on behind the scenes and information may come to you from your unconscious, perhaps in dreams.  While information coming from your inner workings is usually welcome, the repercussions to your work, health or daily routine may make you wonder about that…

Daily communications, dealings with siblings or neighbours or trading are also effected along with concerns about legal, cultural or ethical matters.  So all in all there are lots of opportunities for anxieties, all of which (of course) you must avoid! 

New Moon on 5th falls in your unconscious zone too.  Make resolutions to handle worries better, perhaps along the lines of mindfulness, meditation, spiritual practice, helping others less fortunate or creativity behind the scenes.

Mars spends most of the month still going back to review how you’ve been dealing with romance, children or creativity but then goes direct on 29th when you can start to apply your conclusions.  On the pleasurable side, Venus enters your sign from 17th making you darling of the zodiac.  Doors will open!

Leo:  Mars is still moving backwards through your mother, home and personal development area, pressing you to review how you have or haven’t been asserting yourself in these domains.  On 29th it starts moving forwards but the process won’t be complete until early August.

The ‘noisy’ areas this month though are coming from planets moving through your 11th House of friends, groups, community and humanitarian ideals which somehow clash with romance, children or personal creativity.  This sets off another reaction in your personal finances which should have been improving versus your joint funds area which is at best unclear and looks like it’s going from bad to worse when Neptune goes retrograde on 13th.  The first week of the month is perhaps the trickiest but 19th – 23rd could also be challenging.

New Moon on 5th falls in your ‘collective’ area.  Make plans for future projects with friends, groups, communities and humanitarian ideals!

Virgo:   A collection of planets are forming a difficult dynamic during the first week of June which impacts you personally.  Jupiter planet of growth and expansion is still bringing opportunities your way but conflicting demands from other areas of your life may make you wonder whether this is a blessing…  There’s still a clash between your father, career and social status zone and your mother and home life.  On top of which partnerships are unclear and possibly more is being asked of you than it should. 

In the face of these confusing dynamics and other people’s messes, working on personal development is helpful.  You may need to draw boundaries too.  This can be done gently but you must stick to them!

The same dynamics as the first week crop up again briefly from 19th – 23rd when your ruling planet Mercury runs into them all.  This highlights communications – not necessarily making them easier but your insight will be sharp.

Full Moon falls for a second month running in Sag in your mother and home zone (on the morning of 20th).  You already have serious Saturn sitting here and the second Full Moon in a row raises the emotional temperature once again but also opens the opportunity of a different response this time – one that expresses your true position!

Libra:  Your ruling planet Venus is taking various batterings this month (especially at the beginning and the end) but so are most planets.  Quick planetary movements through your travel, ethics and legal zone are deepening the divide in communications, trading and dealings with neighbours and siblings.  Your work and health zone is also a bit phased by this as is your inner world.

Keep in mind that these tricky dynamics are global not just personal and look for opportunities to mediate, liaise and work with others.

Venus helpfully moves into your 10th House of father, career and social status from 17th which helps smooth the path for future ambitions.  People with authority will also be well-disposed towards you.  Ask favours if you need any.

As last month, Full Moon in Sag. falls in your communications zone, this time on the morning of 20th.  It’s a second chance to speak forthrightly…

Scorpio:  Your 8th House of joint funds, intimacy and sharing is being stimulated this month and any of these (including taxes, debts, inheritances and the money of others) could have quite an impact on your sense of security.  Your personal creativity versus group achievement could also be set off uncomfortable or matters to do with children or romance versus friendship.

Mars continues its backward journey through your sign until 29th, wanting you to review how you’ve been asserting yourself recently, along with goal-setting, sexual expression or physical energy in general.  It’s going to be in your sign for just over one more month so matters are not yet settled or complete but at least it’s moving forwards from the end of this month!

New Moon also falls in your joint funds, intimacy and sharing zone on 5th.  Make some resolutions for the 12 months ahead about how you ‘share’ both your resources and yourself personally!

Sagittarius:  All kinds of tricky dynamics come to prod you this month.  Saturn retrograde in your sign continues its serious soul searching and Jupiter and Neptune bring up ideals about mother and home which conflict with your urge for expansion in your father, career and social status zone.  While you may have got used to all of this last month, partners throw in a new ingredient to the mix this month which could possibly confound you.

Your focus during this complex dynamic should be inwards.  The question is who you really are and how that should now be expressed.  If we’re completely true to ourselves, we can’t then be false to others.  You’ve been accommodating everyone, except perhaps yourself… and as you know this self-neglect can’t go on indefinitely.

New Moon on 5th falls in your 7th House of relationships and partnerships.  Make some New Year’s Resolutions about that (again where you and your needs also feature). The money of others looks helpful from 17th.  And Full Moon on the morning of 20th is in your sign for a second month!  This is a second chance to express your emotions – take it!

Capricorn:  Planets moving through your 6th House of work, health, service to others and daily routine are triggering off nagging self-doubts.  Communications in general, trading or dealings with siblings or neighbours continue to be of concern in some way, as do legal, cultural or ethical matters. 

The first week of the month is especially challenging, with a lot of planets at odds with Saturn your ruling planet.  The 19th – 23rd is tricky too.  New Moon on 5th also falls in your work and health zone which could indicate that taking more exercise or a new regime could perhaps help with current tensions.

Mars is working backwards through your friends, groups, community and humanitarian ideals zone for most of the month, looking at changes that are still needed.  It goes direct however on 29th and then headway can once again be made.

There’s more good news too from 17th when Venus moves into your 7th House of relationships and partnerships, smoothing ruffled feathers and bringing pleasure.  Enjoy!

Aquarius:   Planets are moving through your 5th House of romance, children and creativity this month.  Normally this would be pleasurable but this time it triggers conflicts in your friends, groups and community zone and rebounds too on your finance and joint funds area.  Personal finances also take a turnaround when Neptune goes retrograde on 13th, making them even more unfathomable…

Retrograde Mars in your father, career and social status zone urges you to review how you have or haven’t been asserting yourself in terms of ambitions or public standing. It goes direct however on 29th but still has another month to run after that for you to fully attend to these matters.

Although Mars makes a bit of a challenge to Uranus from 9th – 12th and from 29th, you have a better chance than most this month of having a bit of fun.  A number of planets make nice aspects to Uranus your ruling planet.  From 11th – 12th Venus smooths things along and brings pleasurable interactions with others or creatively.  On 13th – 14th the Sun is in good aspect, bringing fortitude and well-being and on 26th – 27th Mercury brings mental delights and good fun.  In a difficult month for all, be grateful for these blessings!

Pisces:  Planets moving through your 4th House of mother and home are triggering off conflict with your father, career and social status zone, as well as rubbing against ongoing issues about partnerships versus your true identity.

Although Venus is one of the planets involved which usually brings pleasure to the home, this time things are more complicated. New Moon falls in your 4th House however on 5th which marks the beginning of your domestic New Year.  Make some resolutions for a happy homelife in the year ahead and make some for personal development too.

Your ruling planet Neptune goes retrograde on 13th obscuring once again your sense of ‘self’ in some way or your ability to see how you present yourself.  Full Moon on the morning of 20th is for a second month running in your father, career and social status zone.  This is a second opportunity to voice how you’re feeling about these matters.  Grasp the nettle.  There won’t be a third for some time!

Aries: There’s lots of financial activity this month and some of it looks promising!  The Sun, Venus and Mercury (although it’s retrograde until 22^nd – so don’t sign anything important before then if possible) are all moving through your 2^nd House of money, security, values and self-esteem.  They’re also in good aspect to Jupiter and Pluto which are operating in your 6^th House of work, health and service to others and your 10^th House of father, career and social status.  So things are looking good in your professional or public life – and fruitful!

Your travel, philosophy, legal, cultural and ethics zone is not looking so cheerful though and more thought is needed about one or more of these areas.  Emotions that well up in relation to this at Full Moon on 21^st might just be the trigger you need to think this through and even to get help.

Your ruling planet Mars appears to be moving backwards and re-enters your 8^th House of joint funds, intimacy and ‘the money of others’ from 27^th.  More work to do here too… and another chance to get it right!

Taurus: The Grand Trine in Earth signs during the first week of May involves your Sun in a powerful, up-beat dynamic.  Jupiter planet of growth and opportunity and Pluto planet of deep transformation are urging you to expand beyond your present, self-imposed limits and if you’re brave enough to break out, it looks like this could be fun!

Further opportunities present themselves later in the month when Venus (also in your sign) lines up with the same two planetary ‘big boys’, bringing happy social times, attractions and possible obsessions with others…

Venus your ruling planet is in Taurus until 24^th, making you darling of the zodiac and as Jupiter and Pluto are aspecting it from 10^th – 14^th, your charisma will be high!  Enjoy all the attention and try to make time for creativity too.  Mercury (although retrograde until 22^nd) enjoys the same dynamic from 13^th, so all in all this looks like a memorable month.

New Moon on 6^th is also in Taurus.  This is the beginning of your personal new year.  Make resolutions for your emotional life.  If you’re clear about what you want, this month you might just manifest it.  Begin by opening your arms and saying – “I accept the ___________ (say here whatever it is you’d like) that’s coming into my life”.  Then write in to me when it shows up!

Gemini: Clashes between your public and private personas create heavy responsibilities or dilemmas in your partnerships zone.  Ideals (possibly misled)  about your career or social status (and possibly connected to your experience of your father) clash with the need for real growth in your personal development.  Jupiter goes direct on 9^th in your mother, home and personal development zone, demanding expansion – and something will have to give…

Meanwhile more pleasant things are happening in your spiritual and creative life and ‘the money of others’ could benefit you too.  Time spent on creativity behind the scenes, healing and meditation are particularly enriching this month.

The month before our birthday the Sun has been away from us for the longest time and we’re often at lowest ebb but on 20^th the Sun enters your sign, bringing renewal and fresh stores of energy.  Venus enters Gemini too from 24^th adding to your irresistible charms.  Enjoy!

Cancer: Your social and community life look full of pleasure this month as Sun, Venus and Mercury form good aspects to Jupiter and Pluto.  Make time to spend with friends and join or form a group that develops ideas you’re interested in.  Partners are supportive too, so make the most of this.

Jupiter goes direct on 9^th helping forward movement in positive thinking, physical movement and dealings with siblings and neighbours.  Capture good ideas that crop up  (i.e. write them down) for future use.  Only when our mind is at its most positive, do we become aware of our full potential.  Everything you think of can’t be acted on at once, so be sure not to lose any of these gems and get your good ideas written down!

Work, health, service to others and daily routine continue to be ‘heavy jelly’.  Do your best and work on understanding what inner dynamics of your own may have helped to create this situation.  Don’t avoid looking into this.  The worst thing that could happen is that you could learn something important to help you in the future and even more important – now!

Leo:   A stellium of planets (a big gathering) in your 10^th House of father, career and social status, firm up your ambitions this month and incline people in authority to look upon you favourably.  If you need to ask favours, do so.

New Moon on 6^th also falls in this area of your chart, marking the beginning of your professional New Year.  Make time to form plans and resolutions for your year ahead.  And to give them even more strength, share them with selected others, as this increases the likelihood of you following through.

The planets mentioned above (the Sun, Venus and Mercury) are also in excellent aspect to Jupiter and Pluto which bring opportunities, growth and transformation, especially after Jupiter goes direct on 9^th.  You might also be pleased to know that Jupiter’s in your 2^nd House of money, security and values which should improve your income or sense of security (which have been in question since early January).

Get to work on those plans and forge ahead!

Virgo: Contradictory things are going on this month as Jupiter in your sign makes lovely aspects to the Sun, then Venus and then Mercury and also to Pluto all month.  This brings good cheer, optimism and a sense of your own potency and strength.  Jupiter also goes direct on 9^th after four months retrograde which means in one way, the brakes are off – hurray!

The areas of life benefitting from this lovely line-up are your 9^th House of exploring which includes travel, religion, philosophy, deep study and legal matters.  They can all be sources of pleasure this month) and your 5^th House of romance, children and creativity.  Mixing with people from different cultures and mindsets will be enjoyable and can also widen your awareness of the rich, human diversity in our wonderful world.

At the same time though, Jupiter’s in a challenging T square with Neptune and Saturn.  All three planets are in mutable signs which means lots of tensions…  Relationships and partnerships may seem unfathomable and responsibilities in your 4^th House of mother, home and personal development weigh heavily.  Do your duty and make room for the freedom of travel or exploring and creativity.  And keep a note of good ideas that crop up from 13^th!

Libra: The lovely Grand Trine of planets in the heavens at present are working favourably in the water Houses of your chart and many things can be achieved subtly and sensitively.  Creativity behind the scenes starts to generate progress once again when Jupiter goes direct on 9^th after being in limbo since early January.  There’s activity in your joint funds, intimacy and sharing zone too as Sun, Venus and Mercury travel through.  ‘The money of others’ could benefit you.  And your roots, foundations and personal development are being helped along too.

Less comfortable is a T- square (three planets all at 90° from each other) which may be generating unsettling thoughts.  Your work or health may be at odds with ideals and the present dilemma is what to think and just as importantly, what to say and perhaps even more importantly, how to say it.

Dealings with siblings or neighbours could be demanding too and even physical movement could be more difficult in some way.  When the way is blocked or heavy-going, a review is needed to look at how we’ve been dealing with things in the past and how we want to deal with them in the future.  In this instance, it’s one or more of the following – your communications, how you think, how you move, trading and dealings with siblings and neighbours.  Get stuck in and see what you come up with!

Scorpio: A dazzling series of planetary happenings are enhancing your relationships and partnerships zone this month which should feel good – very good!  Jupiter is adding to the growth and expansion that’s taking place and your ruling planet Pluto gives the satisfying depth that you need to feel fully alive!

As well as giving a massive boost to your partnerships, the triangular formation of planets (this Grand Trine) is also helping your 3^rd House of communications, physical movement, ideas, trading, siblings and neighbours.  The other area benefitting from this line-up is your 11^th House of friends, groups, community, society and humanitarian ideals.  Jupiter goes direct in these areas on 9^th and expansion and pleasure follow.

Mars re-enters your sign on 27^th going retrograde (backwards) to remind you of past actions you might prefer to forget but need to look at again.  Meanwhile, finances and security continue to groan along.  Do your best…

Sagittarius: Your ruling planet Jupiter goes direct on 9^th after four months in retrograde and it’s in lovely aspect to Sun and then Venus and then Mercury, along with a good aspect to Pluto all month.  This will be enjoyable and instill you with confidence about your abilities and how to use them to their best advantage in the future.  It’s just now that weighs more heavily.

Conflicting demands from your father and career zone and your mother and home sphere are clashing and the impact from this falls on you.  Whether this is fair or not is another question but your shoulders will need to be broad for the time being…

Mars continues to bring frustrations as it travels backwards in your sign until 27^th (when it revisits Scorpio for a couple of months).  And Full Moon in your sign on 21^st will bring up emotions.  Share them.

Capricorn: It’s a contradictory month for Goats.  While Pluto in your sign is making positive aspects all month with an array of co-operative planets, your ruling planet Saturn is taking some flack!

Your love affairs, children and creativity zone is full of fun and pleasure and travel, exploring or legal matters look fine too!  The difficulties that are around quite separate to this, seem to be coming from your movement and communications zone (including siblings and neighbours) which is clashing with the bigger picture.  The result is disquiet in your internal workings.

Whereas a vivid imagination has much creative potential, it’s important right now that it isn’t used to feed anxieties.  Speak to others about worries or fears, seek respite through creative channels or meditation and keep your self-talk positive!

Aquarius:   Planets are pleasurably activating your mother and home zone all month, including Venus which may inspire you to beautify your home or entertain others there.  They’re also in a Grand Trine (amazing triangular dynamic in the heavens) with Jupiter planet of growth, expansion and opportunities and Pluto, planet of transformation.

Jupiter is in your 8^th House of joint funds, intimacy and sharing and it goes direct on 9^th after four months in retrograde which means forward movement and growth are once again possible and probable.  You could also benefit from ‘the money of others’ in some way!

New Moon on 6^th falls in your 4^th House of mother and home, roots and foundations.  This marks the beginning of your domestic New Year.  Make some resolutions for a happy home in the year ahead.  Your friends, groups and humanitarian ideals area looks a bit tricky.  Keep it simple if you can!

Pisces: After four months of being retrograde and going back over old ground, Jupiter goes direct on 9^th, bringing growth and forward movement to relationships and partnerships.  This alone would be good news but even better are the positive aspects it forms to other planets.  Friends, groups and community add to the happy picture, as do communications, neighbours and siblings.

Meanwhile, confusion, over-idealism or under-estimation about yourself finds growth in partnerships hard to accept and the whole area of father, career or social status needs reviewing.  At best this could result in gaining well-earnt authority, there’s also a chance you could be taking too much responsibility for things outside your control or at worst you might encounter crippling self-doubt.

If the latter, do your inner homework to work out what events or thoughts are holding you back.  Full Moon on 21^st may bring all of this to a head.  Find a good listener to hear you through and if that means a professional, even better.  An opportunity for growth is on your doorstep!

To find out what this means for you as an individual, get in touch to arrange a birth chart phone consultation or reading –

Aries:   The Sun illuminates your sign until 19^th and New Moon in Aries on 7^th marks a dazzling fresh start to your personal new year.  Make new resolutions regarding your emotional life.  Your social status is linked to this in some way too.

Your ruling planet Mars can’t really push ahead at present as Neptune diffuses it all month and it also goes retrograde on 17^th.  Saturn is already retrograde in the same area of your chart which means a double review is needed – now!

The areas to re-assess include exploring – both physically as in travel and the great outdoors and metaphysically as in deep study, religion and philosophy.  Cultural, legal and ethical principles and ‘the truth’ (whatever that means to you) are also up for grabs. Give the matters that resonate with you right now, the time that they need.

On a lighter note, Venus in your sign makes you the zodiac’s favourite from 5^th onwards.  You’ll love surprising others around 20^th – 22^nd when Uranus joins in too.  Enjoy your popularity!

Taurus:   Your inner workings are hyper-active this month as Sun, Mercury, Venus, Uranus and New Moon (on 7^th) all shake you up.  Any self-defeating or self-harming habits can be examined and taken in hand.  Pay attention to the content of your dreams and your self-talk too.  There could also be an awakening through your online, charitable, spiritual or creative life.  The 20^th – 22^nd could bring surprises too.

The month before your birthday is often one of lowest ebb as the Sun has been away from you for the longest time.  But on 19^th the Sun moves into Taurus and restores your energy reserves bringing a very welcome sense of renewal.

The Mars-Saturn review everyone is getting falls in your 8^th House of the transformational processes of life (birth, sex and death), joint funds (taxes, debts and inheritances) and sharing.  These are heavy-weight areas and you have to go back and re-examine how you’ve been dealing with one or more of these and work out what would be a better way forward.  You have until mid-August to think this through.

Mercury in Taurus is looking good until 28^th(when it goes retrograde) and especially good from 13^th – 17^th.  Only when our mind is at its most positive do we become aware of our full potential and this is one of those periods!  Be sure to make a note and follow up on creative ideas that come to mind around that time.

A strong Full Moon in Scorpio is in your opposite sign of relationships and partnerships.  It’s early morning (06.23 BST) on 22^nd and the big build up on 21^st finds an emotional you!

Gemini:   All kinds of unfathomable things are going on with relationships and partnerships.  Mars and your urge to push forward is thwarted by Neptune all month (which continues to mystify and confuse your public and your social status zone). On 17^th Mars also goes retrograde and the following day Pluto does likewise (in your joint funds zone).

Saturn is already retrograde in your 7^th House when Mars joins it in reverse which means a double review needs to take place about relationships and partnerships.  Further thought is needed and you have until mid-August to mull this all over before you can fully take action.

Your ruling planet Mercury is busy behind the scenes bringing some of your inner workings to light.  This is rich material for creative work and for understanding others better.  Mercury goes retrograde on 28^th however so deal with any important paperwork before then.

The welcome relief of the month comes from friends, groups, and community who wake you up, enthuse you and keep you going.  New Moon on 7^th also falls in this area of your chart and brings fresh possibilities and surprises could follow around 20^th – 22^nd.  Enjoy their company and input!

Cancer:   There’s lots happening in your professional sphere of father, career and social status.  And New Moon on 7^th brings an unexpected fresh start and could propel you into the public eye in some way.  Partners however may have a strong opinion about this which could be tricky…

Making headway in your 6^th House of work, health and service to others may not be possible right now.  This could include dealings with colleagues, daily companions, employees, daily routine and pets!  Mid-month Mars goes retrograde, joining Saturn which is also in reverse here.

You need to stop and carry out a review in how you’ve been dealing with one or more of these areas and how you want to deal with them in the future.  You have until mid-August to complete this review.  Then, better-informed, you can take action.

Neptune squares both Mars and Neptune all month.  Ideals, unrealistic thinking or mis-information around travel, studies, cultural differences, in-laws, legal or ethical matters, cause you to stop in your tracks.  Do stop and explore the issues involved.

Expect the unexpected around 20^th – 22^nd when out of the blue opportunities arise or a benefactor brings surprises.  Of course, without question, you’re worth it!

Leo:   ‘Exploring’ either physically (through travel and the great outdoors) or metaphysically (through deep study, religion, philosophy, different cultures, ethics or legal matters) present you with new perspectives.  This is an awakening.  How we think about things makes our reality and here is a chance to break out of the restraints of your usual mindset.  Be open to this vast new view!

Mars and Saturn have put the brakes on in your 5^th House of romance, children and creativity and you have to carry out a review in one or more of these areas.  How have you been handling things in the past?  And what might better strategies be?  You have until mid-August before you can apply your conclusions.  Do your inner homework meanwhile.

Sun moves into your 10^th House of father, career and social status on19^th, illuminating and giving energy to your ambitions.  Mercury’s there too from 5^th but goes retrograde on 28^th.  See to important professional communications during the middle three weeks of the month.

Money-making ideas that abound around 13^th – 17^th could bear real fruit in the future.  Get to work to make them possible!

Virgo:   Joint funds, sharing, intimacy and ‘the money of others’ dominate the month which could take the form of donations, taxes, debts and inheritances.  And a radical new regime, budget or agreement is possible with New Moon on 7^th.  Events around 20^th – 22^nd could also shake things up and take you by surprise!

Your mother, home, self-care and personal development zone is very demanding at present.  Saturn went retrograde here last month and on 17^th Mars too goes retrograde, so pushing ahead may not be possible until you’ve carried out a deep internal review.  You have until mid-August to carry this out.

Mars and Saturn are also blocked all month by Neptune’s idealism or self-deception in your relationships and partnerships zone.  Ideals, unhelpful dreams or unscrupulous partners may be getting in the way of your growth.  Drastic action to solve this may not be possible.  Deeper thought, self-honesty and developing subtler strategies are your best immediate responses until you’re fully able to take action mid-August.

On the plus side, your ruling planet Mercury is busy exploring your travel, different cultures, deep study, religion, philosophy and legal zone.  It is also in good aspect with Jupiter and Pluto from 13^th – 17^th.  Make a note of creative ideas that come to mind then.  They have real content.

Make hay while the sun shines as Mercury goes retrograde on 28^th, so deal with any important paperwork well before then.

Libra:   There’s lots happening in your relationships and partnerships zone and an intense New Moon on 7^th offers a fresh start here in some way which may be startling and there may be repercussions on the home front.  Surprises turn up too around 20^th – 22^nd.

Communications and dealings with siblings and neighbours may feel skewered this month, on the one hand by Neptune creating fog in your work, health and service to others zone and then mid-month Mars goes retrograde, joining Saturn which is already retrograde in this area of your chart.

This means a review is needed in relation to thought, communications, trading, physical movement and dealings with siblings and neighbours.  Look at how you’ve been dealing with these areas in the past and how you want to deal with them in the future.

Give thought to joint funds, loans and debts this month.  Good ideas could occur mid-month but keep a clear head about finances at Full Moon on 21^st – 22^nd…

Scorpio:   Work, health and service to others is a lively area this month and new offers may turn up around New Moon on 7^th.  Venus is one of the planets involved which brings harmony to relationships with colleagues or daily companions.  There could be pleasant surprises around 20^th – 22^nd too.

Finances may resist improvement, despite every effort on your part, as Mars and Saturn are both heading backwards by mid-month.  This brings up the subject of what is enough and where or how a feeling of security is found and it may not be through material things.  The change needed may be inner not outer and creativity or a value system that gives a sense of security could hold the key.

Your ruling planet Pluto is well-aspected mid-month (13^th – 17^th).  Follow through with creative ideas, especially ones that include friends, groups, community and humanitarian ideals.  Pluto goes retrograde on 18^th however to take you back to review how you think about things and perhaps how you’ve been dealing with neighbours or siblings.  This review lasts until late September.

Full Moon in your sign on 21^st / 22^nd finds an emotional you.  Gather up the insight it provides and keep things rational…

Sagittarius:   It’s hard to tell if you’re coming or going with Saturn going backwards in your sign.  Mars, also in Sag is clouded by Neptune and you can’t just keep doing things in your usual way.  It won’t work.  More subtle strategies are needed and you need to stop and take stock to find out what they may be.  (Taking others into consideration could be a clue… ).

Mars also goes retrograde on 17^th, joining Saturn moving in reverse in your sign.  This means a double review is needed to look at how you’ve dealt in the past with goal setting, applying your will, assertiveness, sexual expression and the use of physical energy in general and your whole identity and how you want to deal with these things in the future.  Meanwhile, don’t despair and remember – confusion is a creative state!

Pluto also goes retrograde on 18^th in your finance, security and values zone.  A transformation is taking place here.  The question of what is enough presents itself and exploring where the feeling of enough comes from.  Your stand on what is important in life is undergoing deep changes.  You may have to let go of past values for the inner growth that is needed.

Romance, children and creativity thankfully offer excitement and fun this month with New Moon on 7^th bringing fresh beginnings and then surprises on 20^th – 22^nd.  Take comfort here.

Capricorn:   A Grand Trine in Earth signs mid-month (from 13^th – 17^th) fills you with creative ideas.  Strike while the iron is hot and put them into action.  On 18^th Pluto goes retrograde in your sign, taking you back to review how you’ve been handling your personal power.  You have until late September to look into this.

Otherwise everything’s happening on your mother and home front.  There’s a startling fresh start with New Moon here on 7^th.  Venus is in residence too from 5^th encouraging you to beautify your home, entertain and share its pleasures with others.

Your inner workings are busy too.  Mars goes retrograde mid-month and your ruling planet Saturn is already retrograde here.  A review is needed of one or more of the following: how you deal with your psychological patterns, self-talk, self-harming habits, compassion, your online life, your spiritual life and creativity behind the scenes.  Your conscious mind may not be helpful in achieving this but help from an experienced counsellor or spiritual guide may be.

Confusion around communications, depleted physical energy or dealings with siblings or neighbours could also get in the way of doing your inner homework.  Seek professional help and guidance to keep you on track.

Aquarius:   So much is happening in your 3^rd House of communications.  Ideas are bursting out, your mind is buzzing and it may be hard to sleep with so much going on in your head.  Direct some of this energy into projects (New Moon on 7^th would be a good time to start) and direct some into exercise, so that it doesn’t just run around your nervous system.  Get your ideas out there.

New forms of physical movement can bring exciting changes too.  Our neural pathways are linked to physical movement and new moves can open up new ways of thinking – be experimental!   Neighbours and siblings could be startling too…

Mars and Saturn are reversing through your 11^th House of friends, groups, community, organisations, collectives and humanitarian ideals.  Making headway isn’t possible as a review needs to take place in how you’ve been dealing with one or more of these areas.  You have until mid-August to give this some thought and only then can all of your conclusions be applied.

Your ruling planet Uranus meets up with Venus around 20^th – 22^nd bringing mental delights.  This also coincides with Full Moon in your professional or public sphere.  The world needs your original ideas!

Pisces:   Your financial situation seems to be changing by the minute or your attitude towards it is – perhaps both…  A startling New Moon on 7^th brings unexpected changes or realisations and marks the perfect time to put a new budget or money plan in place.  New money-making ventures could also be exciting and bring surprises, especially around 20^th – 22^nd.

Alternatively, an awakening could take place in your value system.  And freedom from possessions or a minimalist, eco-low-impact lifestyle could be the exciting challenge you’ve been looking for.

Meanwhile your 10^th House of father, career and social status is under strain.  Saturn moved retrograde here last month and on 17^th Mars does likewise.  Your ruling planet Neptune is also squaring these two all month so making headway is unlikely as a deep review needs to take place in looking deeply into one or more of these areas of life and also how fittingly (or otherwise) you’ve been asserting yourself…

You have until mid-August to work out what changes you need to make, then you can take action to apply your conclusions.  It’s unlikely that you’ll be able to proceed as normal until then, so take this time to also develop more subtle strategies that take others into more consideration.

Pluto also goes retrograde on 18^th in your communications zone.  New ways of thinking about things can bring transformation to you.  Look into different ways to train your mind (e.g. meditation, hypnosis, positive-thinking, affirmations etc.).  Different forms of physical movement can have massive impact too.  Dealings with neighbours and siblings may also need reviewing.  Apply positive principles to the use of your mind and how you express it!
