Aries:   Pluto will bring up issues of power in friendships, groups, community and campaigns.  In your personal life, friendships will play a more dominant role.  Deep transformation could take place for you through a friend or group or vice versa.  Equally you may find yourself in a tussle with a friend or group…

Leading is always a natural choice for Aries.  Perhaps you could form, lead, support or challenge a group or movement you feel passionate about.  Whereas your needs are usually more than clear to you, you may have to subsume these as group needs will be stronger.  Perhaps you will finally find your tribe.  Campaigns may also call loudly. 

However it comes about, you will be tested in some way and total self-honesty will be needed for you to fully grow in one or more of these areas of life.  Any campaign group would do well to have you on board!

Taurus:   Pluto has now moved to the top of your solar chart and you may climb to a position of authority in some way, be that professionally or within your circle.  Decisions you make can impact others strongly and you must be absolutely ethically clean in making them. 

You may also have to deal with or stand up to parental or authority figures or bodies, possibly do battle with them and discover your own personal authority in the process.  A complete change of status could take place too, either through the kind of work you do, your status within new or existing work or your standing in society in some way.  Involving yourself in transformational processes in the world (where there is a ‘before and after’ element) will be attractive to you and satisfying.

How to fit your talents into the larger framework may be a challenge you have to overcome.  And if you find yourself in a position of power, have regular check-ins with yourself and someone whose moral compass you trust, to make sure all of your actions are above board, ethical and for the greater good.

Gemini:   The power of exploration will be key for Geminis in the 20-year period ahead.  Curiosity is Gemini’s normal position but now you will be drawn further and deeper.  Exploring the world physically through travel, different countries and different cultures or immersing yourself in the great outdoors can bring about great personal change and a massive shift in your world view. 

Exploring metaphysically can have enormous impact too.  Deep dives into belief systems, religions and philosophies can transform your understanding of  peoples of the world and the true nature of reality.  Your intuitive understanding of life will deepen.

Deep studies, the internet, learning a new language, teaching, publications and perhaps getting published can also have a big impact.  The truth becomes pressingly important and finding your truth is one of the opportunities on offer.  The next twenty years will be a pilgrimage of a kind.  You may encounter extremism; you may encounter the deluded and the mad.  Observe but do not stay and do not stop until you find your path.

Cancer:   The transformational processes of life: birth, sex and death can offer deep and intense experiences.  They do of course for us all but your understanding around one or more of these processes will deepen considerably.  Abandoned issues from the past may re-emerge for you to address and work through.  There can be a re-birth for you in some way too.

You will come to understand the opportunities that crises provide, either for yourself or others (or both).  As sometimes it is only through a crisis that deep change and growth become possible.  You may also find that others in crisis will be drawn to you as a mast to hold on to during the storm.  And they will have made a good choice.

Joint funds and the money of others (including taxes, debts and inheritances) can be impactful and your understanding of sharing in its smallest and broadest levels will also deepen.   Your instinct in how resources should be used and shared on a collective level will deepen too.  Share your understanding.  The world needs it.

Leo:   Power in relationships and partnerships come to the fore in a very strong way over the next twenty years and you may have to review the power patterns you tend to get drawn into or create in one-to-one partnerships.  ‘Partnerships’ here can indicate business or personal partners and your transformation and growth may come about through intense dealings with either or both.

We can often find ourselves in relationships where we take control or where the other person takes control.  Meeting the needs of someone so deeply that they become dependent on us or vice versa is a subtler but similar dynamic of this too. 

But the challenge and opportunity here is to create an equal relationship where both partners are  transformed through sharing power equally, not the power of one over the other.  This is not easy to achieve.  Make it your aim.

Virgo:   Virgos have a natural interest in work, health and service to others which is exactly the area that Pluto is moving into for the next twenty years.  So, although these areas of life are already strongly within your realm of understanding, powerful experiences await you.

Workwise, you may find yourself completely changing the kind of work you do or the times at which you do it.  And work which involves a transformation of some kind, with a ‘before and after’ element, will be particularly satisfying.  Relationships with colleagues could also be intense, even involving power struggles.  Or you may stop working altogether or start working or volunteering.

All of this may impact your daily routine and this is another area up for transformation as Pluto makes its way through.  How we order our day (including the details of what you do first, second and third first thing in the morning etc) can have a massive effect on your well-being and ultimately your health.  And what you include (or exclude) in your day can have huge impact (as can pets).  Be open to scrutinising how your daily routines, rituals, health care choices and diet impact you.  Transformation and a deeper understanding of holistic health is on offer!

Libra:   Pluto is bringing transformation to your creative world in its broadest sense.  This includes love affairs (the transient type), your interactions with children, sports, recreation, fun and games, pleasure and actual creativity itself. 

In the West we use the word ‘relationship’ to cover many different kinds of emotional dynamics.  In more conservative cultures, this is not the case and love affairs as opposed to partnerships are viewed quite differently.  Astrology makes this differentiation too.  Information relating to marriage and business partnerships can be found in one area of the chart (the 7th House), whereas love affairs belong to another (the 5th House).

You may therefore find yourself swept away by intense passions, possibly by someone you feel is not even good for you.  But you discover or rediscover the passionate aspect of yourself and this awakening may be more important than the person who seemed to bring it about.   

A new sport or creative activity could become massively important and consume you.  Speculating financially or gambling could seem irresistibly attractive too and take hold if you let it…  Your relationship with a child or children (and your own inner child) could deepen your sense of joy too.  Welcome creativity in all of its very broadest forms and enjoy!

Scorpio:  Pluto is your ruling planet and so you, more than anyone understand the powerful waves that transformation brings.  It is your signature in the zodiac.  Your resilience is second to none and you fear deep transformation and what it brings, far less than most.  In fact, you welcome it.

For you, this time, mother, home, roots and foundations, self-nurture and personal development are the spheres up for transformation.  Early conditions in our childhood home have huge bearing throughout life and the more conscious we are of the dynamics we experienced there and their ongoing influence are areas for exploration with professional help.  Yes, a counsellor or therapist or therapy group are your best and necessary companions on this crucial journey. 

Relationships with mother figures or any role in which you are motherly will also undergo deep change.  Your current physical home, renovations or a change of home or emotional conditions within the home are possible.  And these too may undergo massive transformation which will reflect your inner growth or trigger the need for you to do some work on yourself.  Do it willingly!

Sagittarius:   You love exploring which is great and this time Pluto is going to pull you along to explore communications, your mindset, dealings with neighbours and siblings and how you deal with everyday life, including your use of language.

These may feel like minor issues to lofty-minded Sagittarians but how we think and deal with others on an everyday level has a massive impact on is all.  Communications are not only the words we use.  Tone of voice carries a louder message, as does physical posture. 

How are you dealing on a daily level with others?  And could that be improved?  Pluto may think so and take you in hand, especially related to your dealings with neighbours and siblings.  These relationships could take on new meaning or become more prominent in your life, as could learning a new language.

How we think about things, makes it so.  And your lens on the world is going to be transformed.  Sagittarians often have a good understanding of the higher mind and broader issues but you may now be called upon to share your understanding or to break it into smaller parts that can be understood by others.  Teaching or making knowledge available to more people, may become your mission.  Do it gladly!

Capricorn:   Having just had Pluto moving through your sign for the past fifteen years, you will have got the idea of its transformative way of changing your life.  You still have the finishing touch of this process from September to mid-November 2024 when Pluto goes back one last time into your sign to attend to the final details of your transformative process. 

Pluto’s new focus for you in the twenty years ahead is: money, possessions, food, security, values and self-esteem.  Your position on one or more of these areas is in need of transformation. 

We often assume that having money, property or possessions brings with it a sense of security but it may become apparent that this is not necessarily the case.  You may have to look in more depth at where the feeling of ‘enough’ comes from and it may not come from the expected material world. Having a value or belief system that gives a sense of security could be the answer or creativity in some form may meet your need.  Explore all possibilities. 

We often confuse our financial standing or earnings with self-esteem but valuing who you are quite separately from your material status may be called for, whether you are rich or poor.  How you show up as a human being is more important than what you do or do not have.  Be open to a whole new set of values!

Aquarius:   Pluto, planet of transformation is now in your sign and is going to stay there for the next twenty years!  Being Aquarian, you are open to new things and original ways of looking at things but this will be challenging and you may not be able to adopt the distant, detached position on things that you prefer.  You will understand our new Aquarian Age though better than most and will be called upon to make a contribution to its direction.

Pluto in your sign brings up issues of personal power and you will be challenged to fully claim yours.  How this comes about is less important than that it comes about.  Sometimes it can involve doing battle with another individual or other powers, who are unfit or who wield power unethically and humiliations may even be involved.  But claim your power, you must and will: all four cylinders.

Your identity (and appearance) may also undergo a transformation in some way.  Be open to that too, followed by how do you now express the new you?  Finding outlets and new forms of self-expression will be important.  Be as open-minded and experimental regarding this as you can.  The Aquarian Age is here and you will resonate with it!

Pisces:   Your natural domain in the zodiac is the 12th House of compassion towards the pain and suffering of others, healing, spirituality, institutions (prisons, hospitals, psychiatric units etc), creativity behind the scenes and the collective unconscious.  These are all areas of life you have a natural affinity with and now Pluto is moving through your 12th House and so powerful experiences are at hand. 

Your creativity may become a driving force and sharing your creations with the world will be important.  The sending out of creative acts, healing energy (and perhaps prayers) will become more and more important.  Their impact will not be measurable but your understanding that we are all in the pool together and whatever happens to one, happens to us all, will deepen.  You understand that what we ‘send out’ impacts us all and that we can help both individuals and the bigger picture through distant healing and positive thoughts.

An urge to escape the confines of daily life could veer towards addictions – watch out for that and lift the need to merge with something greater, to transcendent paths.  Your already strong intuition will intensify over the next twenty years and possibly develop into psychic ability or spiritual longing.  Seek structural support for yourself from trained experts who know the way, if this does develop.  The power of meditation and spiritual practices can also have a huge impact on you.  Again, choose carefully who or which bodies you align yourself with and who will best nurture and support your growth.

To explore how this will impact you as an individual, get in touch to arrange a birth chart or update by phone or Zoom.

The Sun moved into 0° Aries last night (at 21.25 GMT).  This is the Spring Equinox or the first day of spring in the northern hemisplere and the first day of autumn in the southern.  (It is also Nawruz, the New Year for Zoroastrian cultures and other cultures nearby).

At the equinoxes day and night are equal length which is a point of balance before our days get longer or shorter.

For those in the Northern hemisphere, we have survived another winter! Well done!  And for those in the Southern hemisphrere, the beauty of autumn and harvest awaits!

New Moon in Aries is also today (at 17.24 GMT).  As well as being ‘the start of Ramadan’ New Moon, this is also a bolt of raw energy which is great for embarking on new projects and forging new pathways. 

If you do not have a project or plan in mind, try doing something you have never done before!  And perhaps something you have never dared to do before!

Happy Equinox!!!

Nuguma

More importantly,  February is a month of completion, especially of long-term projects.  Saturn is finishing off its 27-month stay in Aquarius, encouraged by the Sun mid-month to push through one of the humanitarian tasks still remaining.  Saturn has been teaching us about collective responsibilities since December 2020; politically and hopefully ecologically and also about being responsible for each other. 

A new awareness of neighbours and who might need support was one positive outcome of lockdown (and hopefully will continue).  Our dependency on technology heightened too in many cases which is going to be a major feature of the Aquarian Age which I believe we have already entered.  (Alexa and Siri think so too… ).

This is also the last full month of Pluto in Capricorn.  Pluto which brings hidden things to the surface, is a purging force and at its best, transformational.  It has certainly exposed many of our hierarchies and their use and abuse of power.  Pluto has been in Capricorn unearthing unpleasant truths since 2008.  What we do about these discoveries will be one of the jobs of Pluto in Aquarius which dawns next month: involving public accountability amongst many other things.

Mid-month while Sun is encouraging Saturn. Venus joins Neptune in search of the ideal.  Romance can be intoxicating but reality may not measure up to the dream.  Act on your urge for compassion though.

Sun moves into Pisces on 18^th (at 22.35 GMT).  This is followed by New Moon in Pisces on 20^th (at 07.07 GMT) which marks the beginning of a new intuitive cycle.  Venus then glides into assertive Aries less than an hour later.  This gives us the ability to tune into how we and others are feeling, understand what the moment is ready for and to then do something about it.  Be forthright and direct!  Jupiter is already there in Aries, egging us on to be more adventurous, pioneering and more authentic too.

Mars is in Gemini all month providing lots of mental energy and dialogue.  And when Mercury squares Uranus on 21^st communications or sudden flashes of understanding may take us by surprise.  And sleep may seem a waste of time. 

At the end of the month Venus approaches Mars in Aries and fortune favours the bold!  Make your move!

And have a wonderful month!

Aries:    Pluto has been adding intensity to your career, status and dealings with authority for the past 14 years. This may have involved becoming an authority yourself in some way. But as Pluto goes retrograde from April 29th until early-October, you need to review your handling of power and dealings with those in power. How you have previously dealt with father figures also comes up for appraisal and if you are a father figure yourself, how have you been operating?

Social status is also being reviewed and how and to what extent you have achieved or are achieving your ambitions. If you have ridden roughshod over others on your journey to the top, situations or people may come back to bite you on the bottom. Be a good role model!

The solar eclipse on April 30th falls in your finance zone. A commitment may be called for here. Perhaps you could provide more security for yourself or others in some way over the coming months? Or if already providing for others, could you offer more? Are your values reflected in your financial life? We can exercise some individual power in how and where we spend and invest money.

Values are also up for grabs with the meeting of Venus and Jupiter close to Neptune in your unfathomable 12th House. This heightens ideals and the desire to be selfless and a better version of yourself.. Compassion and spirituality hold a strong appeal, as does creativity behind the scenes. You may find yourself wanting to be more charitable and to make a regular financial commitment to people or causes that support others less fortunate than yourself. This can help to meet your own needs to be compassionately active too. Volunteering, especially within institutions (e.g. prisons, hospitals and psychiatric units) or with societal outcasts can also be fulfilling. Go where you can have most impact:

Taurus:   The solar eclipse on April 30th is in your sign which makes it even more significant for you. The Sun (conscious motivation) and Moon (unconscious motivation) are at one and the theme of this particular eclipse is around making a commitment in response to the vulnerability of others. This involves your sense of identity and how and where, what you have to contribute is most needed. An emerging aspect of your inner self is looking for a new outlet to express itself and it is important that this will also benefit others in some way.

Pluto goes retrograde the day before on April 29th in your travel, religion and philosophy zone. It is time to review your beliefs, ethics and perhaps spiritual practices. Have you broken any of your own principles or any other principles recently? If so, can you make amends? Your understanding or attitude towards different cultures may be important to review now too. And this could also be a time to look again at your online habits and presence…

Your ruling planet Venus joins Jupiter (with Neptune close by) on April 30th. This is a strong wave, bringing with it the need for community and groups that you can relate to on a philosophical level. The questions is not “What can I achieve?” but “What can we achieve?”. Is there a group or community you should join or even start?. Such a group or movement needs to be one that carries ideals forward. And you could be one of the surfers on this new wave, helping compassion to grow.

Gemini:    The solar eclipse on April 30th may feel uncomfortable for you as it falls in the most unconscious part of your solar chart. So you may feel something trying to happen but not be fully aware of what that is. A response is being called for from you to do something about the pain and suffering of others. And this may be people you do not know and will never meet.

The reality is, we are all in the pool together and whatever happens to one person, on some level, happens to us all. The eclipse makes you very, very aware of this and leaves you wanting to do something to alleviate suffering in the world. This could be in a number of ways: regular financial donations to charity, volunteering to help those less fortunate or sending out healing thoughts and prayers to those in need.

Pluto goes retrograde too on April 29th which calls for a review of joint funds, the money of others (including taxes, debts and inheritances) and sharing. Could you share more of your assets with a good cause? Pluto may also be reviewing the transformational processes of life: birth, sex and death. Is a review needed in any of these areas? This can pose all kinds of questions, such as:
To what extent do you share your true self in your sexual expression?
Have you made a will so your wishes will be carried through after you die?
Have you made end of life and funeral plans?
Do you owe something that needs paying back or reciprocating?

Meanwhile, the gathering of Venus and Jupiter near Neptune at the top of your solar chart, creates a longing for growth and expansion in your career or social status and the need for that to reflect your ideals in some way. Authority figures may favour you, so if you need help from someone in a position of power, do not be afraid to ask. Equally, if you are in a position of power or a father figure yourself, use your influence benevolently.

Cancer:    Your ruling planet the Moon is involved in the solar eclipse on April 30th in your 11th House of friends, groups and community. This particular eclipse carries with it the themes of making a commitment to those more vulnerable than yourself. This could involve solidly supporting a friend who is going through hard times or joining or starting a group to work collectively to improve conditions for vulnerable creatures or people. You may well be feeling more political than usual and not in a passive way. If so, is there a cause or movement that would benefit from your input and that you would gain a sense of belonging from?

Pluto has been purging partnerships and relationships for the past 14 years and there has hopefully been a lot of personal growth for you during this process. On 29th April however, Pluto goes retrograde which calls for a review of how you have been operating recently in this area of your life. Do you need to find a partner? Or have you over-stepped the power balance in an existing partnership? (which can apply to business and personal partnerships). Or have you allowed you own healthy boundaries to be broken by others? You have until early-October to think and work through whatever changes are needed in this area of your life.

The gathering of Venus and Jupiter close to Neptune in your 9th House, augments the need for travel or exploring in some way. This could be covering terrain in the great outdoors or learning about different languages, belief systems and cultures through studying and exploring perhaps your own beliefs at the same time too. The world is wide and you want to be an active part of it. You will feel the importance of ethics, ideals and principles very strongly and will want to carry them through into the world in some way. This may apply to the virtual world too!

Leo:    Your ruling planet the Sun gets eclipsed on 30th by the Moon and this is at the top of your solar chart which rules father, career and social status. The Moon may be calling for more compassion and the actual theme of this eclipse is about making a commitment to those more vulnerable than yourself. This could include father or authority figures who are currently vulnerable in some way or if your are an authority or father figure yourself, be benevolent. Could you also lend your professional talents to a good cause?

Ideals are also calling you regarding your financial interactions with others. This could include taxes, debts, loans and inheritances. Have you made a will? Or do you need to? The transformational processes of life are also looking expansive. And you may find yourself wanting growth and expansion regarding births, sex and handling deaths. Would you like a child or another child? Do you need to share more of your true self sexually? Or have you thought about making an end of life and funeral plan? This could be a growthful time to look at any or all three!

Pluto is still purging your work, health and service to others zone as it has been doing for the past 14 years. Pluto goes retrograde though on 29th, calling upon you to review one or more of the following. Is your current work expressively transformational enough for you? Does it have a satisfying ‘before and after’ aspect to it? Do you need a new health regime? How does your present diet and daily routine impact your sense of well-being? Are you making a satisfying contribution to the world through your work or volunteering? You have until early-October to work out and put in place whatever changes need making. We are looking for your optimum well-being here! Don’t neglect it!

Virgo:    The solar eclipse on April 30th falls in your 9th House of travel, religion and philosophy and the theme of this eclipse is making a commitment that will benefit those more vulnerable than yourself. Virgoans are usually wonderful helpers and you may already be doing this. If so, move on to read the next paragraph. But if not, you could possibly increase your sense of well-being by putting your principles into action in the world in a helpful way. This can include studies that can deepen your understanding of different belief systems and cultures or sharing your own beliefs more readily. Volunteering to help those from different countries and cultures can also be hugely beneficial for all.

Pluto goes retrograde on April 29th in your romance, children and creativity zone. It is time to review one or more of these areas of life. Pluto has been purging one or more of these areas of creativity and enjoyment for the past 14 years but now it is time to look at what you have (or have not yet) put in place for yourself to meet needs for pleasure. You have until early-October to acknowledge and address whatever needs correcting. And before you ask, yes, you are entitled to give yourself some slack and enjoy life!

The meeting of Venus and Jupiter close to Neptune in your opposite sign are all calling for growth and expansion through relationships and partnerships. Neptune’s ideals are strong and unfortunately the reality of human beings may be nowhere near the dream but that does not mean you cannot find growth through deep relating! With Jupiter being involved, a partner from a different country or culture or someone philosophically minded would appeal. Or if you are already in a relationship or partnership, you will strongly need to feel a sense of growth within it. And if that seems impossible, you may seek the freedom to grow through being free of that relationship. Listen to your inner voice.

Libra:    The solar eclipse on 30th falls in your joint funds zone and the call is to make a commitment to those less fortunate than yourself. This looks more like an ongoing thing, not just a one-off act of kindness or donation. If your own resources are limited, could you get involved in fundraising instead? Or if volunteering feels appropriate, could you help projects that improve the life chances of others or help people going through the transformational processes of life. This includes births, sexual matters and deaths. You may have expertise or an innate kindness that could help to support people struggling with any of these existential matters.

Meanwhile Venus and Jupiter meet close to Neptune in a different area of your solar chart but this could also be connected. Again the theme of service to others is shouting loudly. Could you offer your services in some way? Work and health are also implicated and it is important not to over-indulge in food, drink or drugs…Your system is more sensitive than usual and can be easily flooded by strong substances or lack of moderation. It could also be worth exploring more subtle forms of treatment if prescription drugs do not feel like they are helping any health conditions you are experiencing. Seek advice first though.

Pluto has been purging the bottom of your solar chart for the past 14 years, presenting you with deep challenges connected to mother and home. This can be the physical building that you live in, emotional conditions within it or your relationship to mother figures or your role being a mother-figure or nurturer yourself. Nurturing has been and continues to be a strong theme, including self-nurture and personal development. Pluto goes retrograde from 29th, demanding that you carry out a deep review of how well you have been dealing (or avoiding) one or more of these matters! Pluto does not mess about and the more remiss you have been (trying to keep the peace?), the more insistent it will be about you be totally honest with yourself and others! You have until early-October to make sure you are on the right path. Just do it!

Scorpio:    Your ruling planet Pluto goes retrograde on April 29th taking you back to review recent communications and your mindset. Pluto has been transforming your world-view for the past 14 years and as a result may have changed the circles you move in. There is no harm though in taking a second look at how you have been dealing with things recently and whether you have been paying as much attention to listening as to speaking… Your use of words or communication style may also need adjusting. Be honest about any recent mishaps, apologise if necessary and give more space to other points of view.

Venus and Jupiter join forces close to Neptune around now too. This opens up channels of pleasure and enjoyment through romance, children and creativity. Your ideals are strong and your need for growth will carry you through to a more expansive period.

The solar eclipse on 30th is in your opposite sign of relationships and partnerships (more serious than the romance zone mentioned above). This could mark an end or a beginning and the need to make a commitment of some kind, possibly to your wounded self…

Sagittarius:    Your ruling pwlanet Jupiter joins forces with benefic Venus and idealistic Neptune at the bottom of your solar chart and this is all about growth and expansion of home. This may mean a physical extension to your present home, looking for a bigger place or a home abroad or wanting growth in emotion conditions in your home or a home based on a belief system or philosophy of some kind.

Nurturing is also hugely important and you may find yourself wanting to both give and receive more nurturing at home. Relations with mother-figures could be growful, as could you own role as a nurturer. Self-nurture comes into this too, including how and what you feed yourself both physically and spiritually. Your early roots and foundations can be helpfully explored now too through counselling or therapy. The benefits of personal development are open to you. Grab this opportunity with both hands!

Pluto has been transforming your finances over the past 14 years or your attitude towards them. Your values have been strongly tested and you may now have a completely different take on security and what is most important in life. The power of money will have certainly been a theme and you may now find more security through a faith or belief system or through creativity. Pluto going retrograde prompts you to review your recent take on money, possessions, security and values. If you have gone off track (off your personal track), it is time to haul yourself back to where you truly stand. You have until early-October to carry out this review.

The solar eclipse on April 30th falls in your work, health and service to others zone. This may deplete you energy to some extent but this provides more much-needed time for reflection, including what would benefit your health and well-being. A commitment to yourself on a physical level may be necessary, including work or a daily routine that better serves you. But if you are physically in top shape, is there work or a voluntary position where you could help others? .

Capricorn:    Pluto has been moving through your sign for the past 14 years, bringing transformation in its wake and an opportunity to claim your own personal power. But as Pluto goes retrograde from April 29th, the question is: have you over-stretched your territory and intruded on someone else’s patch? Boundaries are sensitive and important things and as Pluto retreats for a while, you have opportunity to review how well and to what extent you have been using (or abusing) your personal power. You have until early-October to ponder this and make amends if necessary.

The solar eclipse on 30th falls in your romance, children and creativity zone. It is necessary to make some kind of commitment here to those more vulnerable than yourself. How could you go about doing this? We are looking for an ongoing pledge more than a quick fix. And could you also commit to expressing your own personal creativity more too?

Venus and Jupiter, along with Neptune are gracing your communications zone which will help you in all of the above by being more compassionately-minded and more generous in how you think about, speak (and write) to others. Spiritual subjects may take up more of your air-space and your charitable feelings could lead you to help good causes with your communication skills. Relations with siblings and neighbours bring out or require your ideals, trading goes well as do new forms of physical movement. Could there be a latent musician, dancer, martial artist or gymnast lurking behind your Capricornian reserve? Give yourself some space to find out!

Aquarius:    Pluto goes retrograde on April 29th in the unseen area of your 12th House. This calls for a review of how you have been dealing with your mental health and with yourself spiritually and how you can extend your understanding and experience to benefit others. Creative work behind the scenes needs a review too, as might your online presence. You have until early-October to fathom all of this out and get things in place in the way they should be.

A solar eclipse at the very top of your solar chart on 30th could be looking for room to express your charitable ambitions too. Your status (or that of father-figures) could change but could you add the well-being of vulnerable people to your present job description? Or move into a career where this is a central theme? This may not be immediately possible but position yourself so that you give this possibility room to grow.

Finances could reflect this too as Venus and Jupiter which usually increase incomes, meet close to Neptune and an idealism around how you earn your crust may become more important than the money itself. Your value system is going through an expansive change. There could be boundless money but is more likely to be boundless generosity of spirit and perhaps of money too. A sense of security can be gained on a deeper level than just the transitory wobble of financial status. This could come through a value system that meets your needs on a very deep level or through your own creativity. A belief in yourself, your own capabilities and in life itself is up for grabs. Claim it and never be afraid again!

Pisces:    Friends, groups, communities and politics may have had a strong impact on you over the past 14 years as Pluto has purged its way through your life. You may have had transformational experiences through any of these areas or perhaps you have been an agent of transformation yourself! From April 29th Pluto goes retrograde however and it is time to review how this process (or your handling of it) has been going. And you have until early-October to complete your deliberations and make plans for future change.

The solar eclipse on 30th falls in your 3rd House of communications. This has an impact for some months after the actual eclipse (and sometimes before too!) Every eclipse carries a them and this particular one encompasses making a commitment to benefit those more vulnerable than oneself. As a Piscean you naturally tune in to the unspoken, helping you to empathise with others before that have even shared their troubles. This eclipse highlights this gift that you have and you can be hugely helpful as a committed listener or speaking up for those unable to represent themselves. Siblings or neighbours may need your assistance in some way too. Communication in its broader sense. Music, sign language, dance and all forms of physical movement and the arts are outlets for this human need. The question is, where as a communicator can you be most helpful?

Last but not least, four planets are gathering in your sign and Venus and Jupiter meet very close to your ruling planet Neptune and Mars is not far behind too. Your compassion is vast at the best of times but you may never have experienced the all-embracing, spiritual acceptance this stellium (meeting of planets) gives you. Any consciousness-raising exercises and spiritual practices reap rich rewards. You fully understand we are all in the pool together and whatever happens to one person on some level happens to us all. You are finely in tune on a very subtle level right now. Send out positive thoughts and prayers to wherever you feel they are needed and rest assured that this is just as valuable and as potent as any concrete physical act.

Aries:     This looks like a creative month as the Sun is generating warmth and energy in your 5th House of romance, dealings with children and creativity until 22nd.  Sports and recreation look fun.  You may be feeling more playful too which your playmates will also enjoy.  New Moon on 8th marks a fresh cycle in one of these areas of life that can also shake up your values in some way…

Work and health feature strongly too as your ruling planet Mars forges its way through this area of your solar chart.  If you have been thinking about starting a new regime, your moment has arrived!  And the same applies to looking afresh at your work situation or a voluntary position.  Your daily routine is up for grabs too.  Initiate ways to enhance your well-being.

Uranus goes retrograde in your finance zone on 19th, taking you back to review how closely your finances fit with your values.  Have you gone astray?  Uranus does not accept compromise.  Only radical solutions will do, whether that involves you changing your fiscal habits or reassessing your value system.

Chiron in your sign gets activated by many planets this month which opens up opportunities for personal healing.  Your sense of identity can be better understood which is a helpful, strengthening process.  Neptune in your spiritual zone also gets challenged which again can help with your self-awareness.  Keep an eye open for these opportunities.

Taurus:     There is an emphasis on your 5th House of romance, children and creativity this month as Venus bestows pleasure and ease up to 16th.  Make time for enjoyment.  This may not totally apply from 8th – 10th however when Venus opposes Neptune.  Make sure you do not over-idealise others. Mercury and the Sun make their presence felt at various points, along with Mars which is there all month.  A lot of energy is bouncing around here.  And you will be feeling buoyant and creative.

New Moon on 8th falls in your mother and home zone, marking a fresh cycle in some way.  Self-nurture and personal development come into this too, along with your home conditions, both physically and emotionally.

Saturn and Jupiter are both still retrograde (moving backwards) at the top of your solar chart, taking you back to review your career, social status and dealings with authority figures.  Saturn often represents self-discipline or restrictions and Jupiter, growth.  Full Moon on 22nd is up here too, making you look at the conflicting needs of your public and private life.

Your ruling planet Venus moves into your work, health and service to others zone from 16th.  This makes relations with colleagues and daily companions pleasant and your health should be good, so long as you do not over-indulge.  You also find pleasure through self-care and your daily rituals.  Now and again we are able to fully enjoy the simple things of life.  This is one of those times.

Uranus goes retrograde in your sign on 19th, taking you back to reassess decisions you made in late-April or early-May.  You have until mid-January next year to fathom out where you played safe.  We are looking for the pure uncompromised expression of who you now are, nothing less!

Gemini:     Your 4th House of mother and home is very prominent this month, with Venus around until 16th, urging you to beautify your home.  Your ruling planet Mercury spends much of the month here, filling you with good ideas and Mars delivers the energy and determination all month to see projects through.  Dealings with mother-figures go well and paying attention to self-nurture and personal development go well too.

New Moon on 8th marks a fresh cycle in communications and thought processes.  Uranus triggers your compassion or spiritual life at the same time.  Have you thought of trying meditation?  Or volunteering on a helpline?  Relations with neighbours, tradespeople or siblings could undergo a change.  And this could also be a good time to start an exercise regime.

Romance, children and creativity look sweet from 16th as Venus bestows pleasure and ease right into next month.  Make time for enjoyment.  This may  not totally apply from 14th – 17th however when Pluto and Jupiter may make things feel a bit over the top.  Make sure you are not pleasing others to excess.

The lead up to Full Moon on 22nd brings up the opposing pulls of spending all your energies on everyday chat while your higher mind is hungering for depth and satisfying input.  If chat has to happen, find interesting people from different countries, cultures or views to feed your lust for learning.  And how about signing up for a course of study too?

Cancer:     Communications are especially important this month and luckily you will be mentally and verbally nimble and creative in your choice of words which will be delivered with charm.  Short journeys, trading and dealingss with neighbours and siblings go well, as does physical exercise (be creative here too).

New Moon on 8th marks a fresh cycle in your finance zone.  This is a good time to draw up a budget or to take stock of your finances.  Uranus is electrifying things, urging you to be true to your principles.  Friends, groups or communities may have an impact on your funds or values or you may feel moved make a donation to a humanitarian cause.  Your financial life needs now to truly reflect your values.

Uranus goes retrograde on 19th, taking you back to review how you have been dealing with friends or groupie or community projects.  You may have taken an unhelpful turn around late-April or early-May which needs reviewing.

Full Moon around midday on 22nd BST (so the build-up is on 21st) raises emotions about joint funds (which includes taxes, debts, inheritances and joint accounts), along with intimacy and sharing in general..  Jupiter close by heightens your feelings and wants freer expression.  Think about what that should be.

Leo:     The Sun ball remains in your court this month until 22nd radiating warmth, optimism and freer self-expression.  Mercury lends you mental energy too until 11th.  And for you August birthday Leos, your birthday is your personal new year and the perfect time to explore your planets for the year ahead with a good astrologer.

New Moon in your sign on 8th marks a fresh emotional cycle.  This is also a good point to explore your birth chart and focus on what you hope for emotionally in the year ahead.  The world is looking fresh and new.  Many Happy Solar and Lunar Returns!

This New Moon also triggers Uranus in your father, career and social status zone.  Uranus is planet of change, disruption and revolution, so no compromises here.  Uranus also goes retrograde on 19th, taking you back to review decisions made late-April to early-May.  Did you compromise too much or not enough?

Finances are a hot topic too this month with things looking rosy until 16th.  But Mars is on the case all month, generating energy and ideas for new income streams.

The lead up to Full Moon (around midday on 22nd BST) highlights the opposing demands of individual needs versus relationships and partnerships.  And Jupiter favours relationships and partnerships…

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

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

But you do not even have to wait until 22nd as right at the end of July, Mars leapt into your sign (as it does approximately every two years).  This is a change of gear and energy settings around how you see yourself and how you go into the world.  Every planet has a metal which best describes it.  And for Mars this is the metal is iron which describes your determination to push your goals forward.  Others beware!  You will have no trouble being assertive, unless you veer into aggression (which of course we would all like to avoid… ).

New Moon on 8th marks a fresh cycle in your compassionate spiritual life or in creativity behind the scenes.  It also triggers change-bringing Uranus in your travel and philosophy zone.  Exploring new belief systems or adopting a new spiritual practice can be a creative way of working with these energies.  Uranus also goes retrograde on 19th which will demand a review of your beliefs in some way.  You have until mid-January 2022 to work out fully what that is!

Libra:     Many things are bubbling behind the scenes this month and although you are aware of this activity, you may not be able to see what exactly it is.  You will be very sensitive to the pain and suffering of others and will want to actively help others in any way you can.  This can also be a good time to develop a spiritual practice and incorporate it into your daily routine.

New Moon on 8th marks a fresh cycle with friends, groups or communities.  Uranus makes this an unusual fresh start which might impact joint funds, intimacy or sharing.  And just days later the Sun helps partners or partnerships to heal as it aspects Chiron in your opposite sign from 11th – 13th.

Uranus goes retrograde from 19th taking you back to review whether you have been compromising too much over joint funds, intimacy or sharing.  Uranus insists on freedom of expression and a turning you took late April or early May needs to be reviewed.  You have until mid-January next year to work out where you gave in.  You then get a second chance to be more true to yourself.

Your ruling planet Venus glides into your sign on 16th, making you darling of the zodiac.  Your charms will be at their height and co-operation from others comes easily.  It almost seems to fall at your feet (although partners may find that difficult around 25th – 27th).  Think about what you would like co-operation on and from who!

Scorpio:     Friends, groups and community are high profile this month with Venus providing pleasure and ease until 16th and with Mars in this area of your solar chart all month, your energies lean towards friends, groups and community matters.  Collective projects grab your imagination and you may find yourself feeling more political than usual.  Friends, groups and community can also be a source of energy for you.  If you have been thinking of joining a group or campaign, or starting one, now would be a great time!

New Moon at the top of your solar chart on 8th marks a fresh cycle regarding your career, social status or dealings with father or authority figures.  This New Moon also involves Uranus in your opposite sign, so the knock-on effect is to bring changes to your relationships and partnerships in some way.

Uranus also goes retrograde from 19th.  Uranus is planet of change, disruption and revolution and is going back to look at changes you possibly did not make but needed to around late-April to early-May.  Did you side-step matters when you needed to take action?

Saturn and Jupiter are both still retrograde (moving backwards) at the root of your solar chart, taking you back to review your early years and emotional patterns.  Saturn often represents hardship and Jupiter, growth.  The Sun and Jupiter are pulling in different directions from 18th – 20th when the demands of the world (in the form of your career or social status) run contrary to your need for personal growth.  This happens again in the lead up to Full Moon on 22nd.  Which is it to be?

Sagittarius:     The top of your solar chart is looking lively this month as a number of planets are generating energy to help you along the path to your worldly ambitions.  Venus helps to smooth things along until 16th and if you need support from people in positions of authority, just ask (apart from 8th – 10th when Neptune clouds the view).  Mars sharpens your ambitions too and is determinedly pushing ahead all month.

New Moon on 8th marks a fresh cycle in your love of exploration.  This could be through physical travel or mental: learning about different languages, countries and cultures and philosophies.  Uranus gets activated at the same time, bringing unexpected changes to your work or health.  Uranus goes retrograde on 19th too, calling for a long review of how you have been dealing with your daily life and well-being.

From 16th Venus glides through your 11th House, bringing pleasure through friendships.  You will feel co-operative and enjoy group and community gatherings.  You will also be able to help the group or campaign to put their ideas into words.

Your ruling planet Jupiter is sitting on the Full Moon on 22nd.  This is in your 3rd House of communications and heightens your urge to communicate, teach or trade on a wider scale.  You are good at understanding high-minded subjects and the bigger picture.  Now the challenge is to make your understanding (or goods) accessible to others!

Capricorn:     Finances are still under review as your ruling planet Saturn and Jupiter continue to move backwards in your finance zone.  Saturn represents contraction, while Jupiter represents expansion and both need thinking about.  They both start to move forward again in mid-October.

New Moon on 8th also falls in your joint funds, intimacy and sharing zone which marks a fresh cycle and is a good point to carry out an audit of your financial or intimate interactions with others.  Uranus is calling you to also look afresh at financial involvements concerning lovers, children or creativity.  Some financial changes may be needed in relation to one or more of these.  And when Uranus goes retrograde from 19th, the need for this review cannot be ignored any longer.

From 16th Venus is smoothing your path in your interactions with father or authority figures, career and social status.  If you need favours from people in influential positions, be sure to ask.

Mars starts to stimulate your higher mind this month and your urge to travel (mentally, if physically is not possible) will be strong.  Taking on a course of study could fire your energy, as could exploring different cultures, philosophies or learning a new language.  Exploring the great outdoors on foot could be life-enhancing too.

Ethics and principles take on more prominence at this time too.  Religious and spiritual questions may need answering, leading you to seek out people who can answer them.  And if you have any legal matters to attend to, Mars will spur you onwards!

Aquarius:     Your ruling planet Uranus plays an active role at New Moon on 8th.  This New Moon marks a fresh cycle in relationships and partnerships and Uranus is bringing changes to your career or social status.  Sounds interesting!  Uranus also goes retrograde on 19th, taking you back to review earlier decisions around late-April or early-May.  Have you compromised too much re your social status?  You have until mid-January next year to get back on track.

Your 8th House is a very active area this month which can help joint finances and intimacy during the first half of the month and you may benefit from ‘the money of others’.  Taxes, debts or inheritances could also feature and with Mars on the case here all month, you will follow up anything you are entitled to.  Your passions could be running higher than usual too!

There may be conflict between your individual needs and partnership needs around 21st, in the lead up to Full Moon in your sign around midday on 22nd.  Jupiter in your sign is close to this Full Moon which heightens these mixed emotions.  Your need to be an individual is strong but your need to grow may be stronger.

Venus is smoothing the way in your travel and ethics zone from 16th.  Journeys will be pleasant as will dealings with people from different countries and cultures.  Legal matters look positive too.  And remember, “Life is an adventure or nothing at all!”

Pisces:     Relationships and partnerships are looking lively this month with Venus smoothing your path until 16th and Mars pushing your agenda forward all month.  Mars also suggests conflict or passion, so aim for the latter.  Both Venus and Mercury oppose your ruling planet Neptune from 8th – 10th and 24th – 25th which may feel uncomfortable.  But the Sun moves into your partnership zone too from 22nd, bringing warmth and the urge to fully express yourself.

New Moon on 8th marks a fresh start in your 6th House of work, health and service to others.  This is a good time to start a new regime, seek out new work or volunteer positions and to pay attention to your daily routine and overall well-being.  This also triggers Uranus in your friends, groups and community zone, showing you the need to make changes here too.  Uranus also goes retrograde on 19th, taking you back to review your affiliations and campaigns you may have been involved with.  Have you compromised too much or not enough?

Venus glides into your joint funds, intimacy and sharing zone from 16th and you may benefit from ‘the money of others’ in some way.  This includes taxes, debts and inheritances, although your self-generated income may suffer around 25th – 27^th and is also good for intimacy and sharing.  The fundamental processes of birth, sex and death are also themes of transformation that you may come across in some way.

In the lead up to Full Moon on 22nd, you become very much aware of your compassionate, spiritual side and your need to grow.  Jupiter, planet of growth, expansion and opportunity is close by.  Can you add a spiritual practice to your daily routine?  Creativity behind the scenes is also a strong theme.  Now what form could that take?

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

Aries:   Matters connected to home or mother-figures remind you of old wounds as the month begins.  The Sun and Mercury are highlighting home too until 22nd.  And New Moon here on 10th marks a fresh cycle of some kind and is a good time to make plans or start a new project to do with home, self-nurture or personal development.

There could be conflict between individual creativity and group or collective achievements that impact your finances or values around 1st – 2nd and 7th – 9th.  The demands of friends or groups may clash with your desire to spend time with. lovers or children too in some way.  This also challenges your values (and possibly your finances too).

Romance could be high on the agenda this month.  Both Venus and Mars are moving through your playful zone and actually meet with the Moon on 12th!  Courage favours the bold, so if there is someone who you like, ask them out!  And if romance is not your bag, get creative (and include kids if you have some).

Your ruling planet Mars changes sign on 29th and takes just one step into your work and health zone (more on this next month).  Venus has already paved the way though and from 22nd your daily rituals and relations with colleagues and daily companions are pleasurable.  Now and again we are able to fully enjoy the simple things of life.  This is one of those times.

Taurus:   Your ruling planet Venus is gracing your home zone until 22nd.  Home in every sense should be a source of pleasure, be that the building you live in, its emotional dynamics, your country, Mother Nature or our planet.  You may find yourself wanting to beautify your home and sharing its pleasures with others through entertaining.  Mars is also providing energy and drive to take action on what needs doing.

You may also be looking at personal development and self-nurturing.  Dealings with mother-figures should go well too (including your own interactions, if you happen to be a mother-figure yourself).  The high point is 12th when Venus, Mars and the Moon all meet up in this area of your chart.  This could also mean romance or creativity at home!

There may be conflicts though between career and home (or mother-figures and father-figures), especially around 1st – 2nd and 7th – 9th and in the lead up to Full Moon in the early hours of 24th.  And it seems everyone sees you changing as the answer to present problems.  They may well be right and if you can take the same view and do your utmost to let go of the status quo and be flexible and open to change: the better the outcome.

On 29th Mars joins Venus in your romance, children and creativity zone which could generate nice outcomes.  On the same day Jupiter returns to the top of your solar chart, renewing opportunities to achieve your worldly ambitions or improve your social status in the weeks ahead.  More on these next month!

Gemini:   Your charms are once again at their sparkling best as Venus and Mars move through your 3rd House of communications.  Buying and selling go well, as do relations with siblings and neighbours.  There are a few trigger dates though when ethical or legal matters obstruct your path and you may have to wrestle with your conscience.  These are 1st – 2nd and 7th – 9th and to some degree in the lead up to Full Moon (which is early morning on 24th).

New Moon on 10th falls in your finance zone.  The Sun and Mercury are warming things up here and hatching new ideas both before and after, so this is a good time for drawing up a budget or new financial plan.

From 22nd Venus is highlighting the pleasures of home.  You may find yourself wanting to beautify your home and sharing its pleasures with others through entertaining.  Relations with mother-figures go well too, as do steps towards your personal development.

On 29th expansive Jupiter moves out of your career zone (until December) and back into your higher-mind of studies, ethics and principles.  There is more growing to do here.  Seek out your ideal self..

Cancer:   The Sun ball remains in your court this month until 22nd, radiating warmth, optimism and freer self-expression.  Mercury lends you mental energy too until 28th.  And for those of you with July birthdays, your birthday is your personal new year and the perfect time to explore your planets for the year ahead with a good astrologer.  New Moon in your sign on 10th marks a fresh emotional cycle.  This is also a good point to explore your birth chart and think about what you hope for emotionally in the year ahead.

Your finances look a bit stressful at the start the month but then things look up.  Mars is chasing up opportunities until 29th and Venus smooths things along.until 22nd.  These two even meet your ruling planet the Moon on 12th which could find you feeling very creative (about money, cooking or the arts).

Relations with siblings or neighbours improve after 22nd when Venus smooths along your communication style.  Your way with words will charm others which helps negotiations of any kind.  Venus also helps to make short trips enjoyable and exercise too.

Differences with partners become more apparent mid-month but these are power issues you are fully aware of and can (with a bit of luck) skillfully navigate.  And if partners are oblivious to their own behaviour, you could always help them with their self-awareness…

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

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

Conflicts between career and home (or mother-figures and father-figures) demand much of you, especially around 1st – 2nd and 7th – 9th and 23rd.  And it seems changing your status, career or dealings with father or authority-figures is the answer to present problems.  Do your utmost to let go of the status quo and be open to change.

You will be active on the amorous or creative front though as Venus and Mars spend most of the month in your sign (Venus until 22nd and Mars until 29th).  This makes you dangerously charming!  Venus and Mars even meet on 12th with the Moon that is also in your sign then.  If you have romantic hopes or plans, arrange to meet your loved or hoped-for one on 12th.  And if no one like that is around, immerse yourself in creativity!

Virgo:   The relationship between your inner-workings and outward health may seem noticeably linked this month.  How we think about things, to a large extent, makes them so (in our minds of course).  So you may have to go hunting in your inner-depths to root out any self-sabotage that may have been hiding there.  Your beliefs and philosophy are also undergoing a change and this month’s dilemmas may push them further (which although uncomfortable, can be helpful).

New Moon on 10th falls in your friends, groups and community zone.  This marks a fresh cycle of some kind.  Have you thought of joining or even starting a group?  Give it some thought.

Jupiter planet of growth and expansion leaves your opposite sign of relationships and partnerships on 29th and re-enters your work and health zone.  It will stay here until December, pushing for further growth.  This should help your overall sense of well-being to improve too.

Also on 29th Mars leaps into your sign (as it does approximately every two years) and you will notice an instant energy shift.  But more on that next month.  Despite their massive capacity for hard work, Virgoans and are not seen as the most dynamic of people.  But Mars might just be about to change people’s minds!

Libra:   You may become aware of a partner’s woundedness as the month begins or vulnerabilities in your relationships and partnerships. This can be helpful, as only by knowing about them, can you do something to resolve them.

Meanwhile, friends, groups and community are a wonderful source of pleasure this month as your ruling planet Venus glides through the area of your chart to do with collective well-being.  This is especially true around 12th when Mars and the Moon join Venus and perhaps even romance could blossom in a group setting or with a friend.   Creative projects go well too.  The only possible fly in the ointment is coming from matters connected to children, gambling or your need for individual creativity.

The Sun and Mercury are at the top of your solar chart, highlighting your career and standing in the world until 22nd.  New Moon here on 10th also rmarks a fresh cycle and is a good point to make plans or make a start on realising your ambitions.

Venus starts to look at more compassionate or spiritual matters from 22nd.  And you will feel more aware of the pain and suffering of others and perhaps how you could help to improve the bigger picture.  Your imagination runs more freely which can inspire creative work behind the scenes too.  Apply your understanding!

Scorpio:   You may be more aware of your vulnerabilities around work or health as the month begins.  Your daily routine can have an impact on this, so review your current habits and focus on self-care.  You may also feel moved to be of service to others and perhaps even become a volunteer in a support project.

Conflicts between home and career (or mother-figures and father-figures) demand much of you, especially around 1st – 2nd and 7th – 9th and 23rd.  And it seems changes to relationships and partnerships are the answer to present problems.  If you can take the same view and do your utmost to let the status quo go and be open to change: the better the outcome.

Lively energy is moving through your career and ambitions zone as Venus and Mars get creative.  They actually meet and join forces with the Moon on 12th which looks interesting.  This is a good time for creative thinking or taking action on your next career move and for thinking more creatively about your social status.  Matters connected to father-figures should improve too.

From 22nd Venus brings pleasure through friends, groups and community.  Make time for communing with others.  And one week later Mars arrives too, ready to take action on collective projects.  Is there a humanitarian campaign you can add your energy to?  Both you and it would benefit from your input.

Sagittarius:   Your higher mind and lower mind are not good friends at times this month (especially around 1st – 2nd, 7th – 9th and 23rd – 24th).  This may take its toll on your health or at work where changes still need to be made.  Travel (if viable) could be fun though, as Venus and Mars jolly things along.  They also actually meet on 12th, along with the Moon which could add romance to your journey or an attraction to someone from a different country or culture.

New Moon on 10th falls in your joint funds, sharing and intimacy zone, marking a fresh cycle of some kind.  The Sun spends the first three weeks of July warming things up here too and Mercury is not short of ideas…

From 23rd Venus is smoothing your path in your interactions with father or authority figures, career and social status.  If you need favours from people in influential positions, be sure to ask.  And if you happen to be an influential person or father-figure yourself, use your influence benignly.

On 29th your ruling planet Jupiter moves out of your mother and home zone and back into your 3rd House of trading and daily communications.  How you deal with others is central to your growth right now and will be until December.  Sagittarians are not always the most tactful of signs, so choose your words carefully!

Capricorn:   Worries or constrictions around money matters impact you, partners and your children (or creativity and speculation if you do not have children).  Partners’ finances may be the answer as they are operating more creatively at present and may be more forthcoming than usual, especially around 12th ( a good time to ask if you need their help).  This can also be a good time for intimacy and sharing on a deeper level.

New Moon on 10th is also in your relationship and partnership zone which marks a fresh cycle in some way.  What would you like that to be about?  Go forward with positive hope and intent.

You should be feeling more philosophical after 22nd when Venus softens your outlook.  This could be a good time to travel (if conditions allow) or at least to travel mentally, exploring different cultures and philosophies.

Full Moon on 24th brings mixed messages about finances but Jupiter returns to your security zone on 29th which should give a rosier picture next month.  Money is not everything and widening your values is the real opportunity on offer.

Aquarius:   Work and health are one of the focuses this month, especially during the first three weeks.  And New Moon on 10th would be a good time to start a new regime, look for a new job or volunteer your services to help others.

Conflicts between you and partners demand much of you, especially around 1st – 2nd and 7th – 9th and 23rd – 24th.  Making changes to your home or even a change of  home could be the answer to present problems.  Do your utmost to be open to change, however challenging that looks.  Perhaps your emotional patterns need to change too…

Apart from the trigger dates above, romance could blossom in relationships or a creative partnership could work really well.  You could even benefit from ‘the money of others’ after 22nd when Venus helps sharing and even intimacy along.

Jupiter re-enters your sign on 29th where it will stay until December, offering further opportunities for growth and expansion.  Keep an eye out for these and grab them!

Pisces:   The inner voice and the physical body and well-being clash with each other a few times this month, especially around 1st – 2nd and 7th – 9th and 23rd – 24th.  There is a way of releasing this build-up of tension though.  And that is by voicing how you feel along with plenty of physical exercise.  Relations with siblings and neighbours may come into this too.  It may be time for uncompromising honesty.

Adding creativity to your daily routine also helps your well-being and including others in the fun could help them too.  12th is a particularly lovely day with Venus, Mars and the Moon all ready for fun.

New Moon on 10th marks a new cycle connected to romance, children and creativity.  How would you like this to manifest?  Do you have a plan?  If so, get started on 10th.

Expansive Jupiter moves out of your sign on 29th, although it will return in December.  Jupiter was the traditional ruler for Pisces before Neptune was discovered and its return to your 12th House of compassion, spirituality, healing and creativity behind the scenes (which Pisces rules) is a kind of homecoming.  There is further to grow here and your inner-workings and self-talk could take a turn for the better at the same time.  Be open to healing.

Aries:    Home is looking lovely this month as Venus is gliding through your domestic sphere from 2nd – 27th bringing harmony and pleasure. You may find yourself wanting to beautify your home or share its pleasures with others by entertaining. And relations with mother-figures go well (as do your dealings with others if you happen to be a mother-figure yourself).

Your ruling planet Mars is on the case too until 11th which is normally a good time for DIY or hands on projects but it opposes powerful Pluto from 1st – 8th when power issues could occur. This could be between mother and father figures or the opposing demands of your professional life and emotion needs or home.

Venus then helps to smooth things along until the Sun comes to the rescue, bringing warmth and light from 21st. This area of your solar chart also covers self-nurture and personal development. What might that involve? Put plans into action!

Mercury planet of communication goes direct on 22nd which can help to sort out any recent misunderstandings. And Mars leaps into your romance,children and creativity zone from 11th but runs up against Saturn and Uranus from 28th – 30th…

There is ongoing tension or frustration for most of this year between personal creativity or desires and friendships, groups and the bigger picture. This month these burst out in your finance and values zone. Changes here really, really need to take place to ease the tension. Use money creatively, examine your values and see how you as a creative individual can work alongside others. Or is there confusion around your feelings and wondering whether a friend should be something more?

Taurus:    There is a strong focus on finances this month as the Sun illuminates your material world until 21st. Mercury is already retrograde here until 22nd, reviewing the situation. But New Moon on 10th which marks a fresh start is also a solar eclipse which belongs to an unusual family of eclipses that favour flashes of inspiration, so pay attention to yours!

Your powers of persuasion are strong as your ruling planet Venus is adding charm to all of your communications from 2nd – 27th. Dealings with neighbours and siblings go well and exercise, short journeys and trading are a pleasure. You are fully aware of power dynamics in relationships when Venus opposes Pluto around 22nd – 24th and it is up to you whether you call them out or not…

From 11th forceful Mars leaps into your 4th House of mother and home, ready for action. So what is it to be? Could this be time for a blitz, a makeover, DIY projects or a shake-up of dynamics in the home? Or could it be you being more assertive with mother-figures (or being more assertive if you are a mother-figure yourself)? The 4th House also rules self-nurture and personal development, so it could be time to take action here too!

Mars also stirs up another dynamic which has been brewing for most of this year. Saturn which is adding responsibilities (and perhaps extra work or frustrations) to your ambitions squares Uranus in your sign which is insisting on personal change. Saturn squares Uranus for the second of three times this year on 14th But Mars re-stimulates this theme again from 28th – 30th, adding the extra consideration of how to make home a suitable base for these changes to take place. Make those changes and be radical!

Gemini:    The Sun ball remains in your court this month until 21st radiating warmth, optimism and freer self-expression, although you may lose direction for a couple of days around 13th – 14th when Neptune can be bewildering. But New Moon in your sign on 10th, along with a solar eclipse, marks a new phase of life for you. Trust your instincts around what this needs to be.

And for those of you with a birthday in June, your birthday is your personal new year and the perfect time to explore your planets for the year ahead with a good astrologer. New Moon in your sign on 10th marks a fresh emotional cycle too. This is yet another good reason to explore your birth chart and focus on what you hope for emotionally in the year ahead.

Mercury lends you mental energy, although it is unhelpfully retrograde until 22nd but this can be an opportunity to review how you have been communicating lately. And Mars’s arrival in the communications area of your chart from 11th gives you mental energy too. Try to fit in some exercise!

From 2nd Venus is bringing a rosier glow to your finances but Mars (also interested in financial improvement) runs into opposition from Pluto from 1st – 8th. ‘The money of others’, joint funds, taxes and debts could scupper your plans or your partner’s finances or demands could stop you in your tracks…

Mars runs into further problems from 28th – 30th when it runs up against both Saturn and Uranus. Your ideas, thoughts or words (or dealings with neighbours, siblings or traders) run up against larger legal, cultural or ethical truths which at best could bring about an epiphany or spiritual awakening or wonderful creativity behind the scenes or at worst: self-sabotage. Go for the former!

Cancer:    Energy levels may have been low recently but that is about to change. The month before our birthday we are often at low ebb as the Sun has been away from us for the longest time. The good news is the Sun is bringing fresh energy and a sense of renewal to you from 21st!

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

Venus is in your sign too from 2nd – 27th, making you darling of the zodiac for the rest of the month. Your charms will be at their highest and you will attract others to you. And there will extra intensity around 22nd – 24th when Venus opposes Pluto in your opposite sign and the power dynamics in your relationships become very apparent…

Venus also squares Chiron which is at the top of your chart around 12th – 13th. This highlights the theme of wounding and healing in your career or in dealings with father or authority figures. Saturn and Neptune’s involvement from 16th – 24th is not easy to handle, raising questions about commitment and ideals. But even in the middle of this Venus and Jupiter team up from 18th – 19th to create pleasure and fun at the same time.

Mars is on the case money-wise from 11th but triggers ongoing issues between joint funds and friends or groups or brings up intimacy versus friendship and how that might rock the status quo…

Leo:    Your ruling planet the Sun is warming your 11th House of friends, groups and community until 21st. Venus is providing pleasure here too, so make time for socialising (and perhaps humanitarian campaigns after 22nd when Mercury helps communications by going direct).

New Moon and the solar eclipse on 10th also fall in this area of your chart. Every New Moon marks a new cycle but with an eclipse involved, the ‘flavour’ of the eclipse is important. The flavour of this eclipse is listening to your hunches and acting on them. And this applies to friendships, groups, community and political action. So what is it to be?

On 11th Mars leaps into your sign (as it does approximately every two years). This is a change of gear and energy around how you see yourself and how you go into the world. Every planet has a metal which best describes it. And for Mars this is the metal is iron which describes your determination to push your goals forward. Others beware! You will have no trouble being assertive, unless you veer into aggression which of course, we would all like to avoid…

Saturn has been squaring Uranus for most of the year and things get exacting when they are exactly square (which this month is 14th). For Leos this involves conflict between the current hard work or scarcity around relationships and partnerships versus your social status and ambitions for an original, compelling professional future. (Father figures or issues may feature too). Take a good look at all of this mid-month. And you may find yourself having to take another look when Mars triggers Saturn and Uranus from 28th – 30th. The way to relieve this tension is to strike out in a totally uncompromised way in your worldly standing. Grab your daring and courage and go for it!

Virgo:    Your career and social status are prominent this month as the Sun and your ruling planet Mercury move over the top of your solar chart (although Mercury is retrograde until 22nd, so allow for misunderstandings until then).. The solar eclipse on 10th occurs here too and adds a zing to the cycle that starts with this New Moon. Follow up on any innovative ambitions that suddenly come to mind. They have real possibilities.

Friends, groups and community are a source of pleasure for most of the month. Mars makes you pro-active here too until 11th. Joint funds or ‘the money (or monetary demands) of others’ may run against harmony with friends mid-month, as could the pressure or demands of children, lovers or personal creative projects around 22nd – 24th.

Saturn continues demanding your attention around work or health and squares Uranus on 14th, stimulating your world view or belief system. We are all sensitive, physically vulnerable creatures and have to come to some higher view of why we are here and how our beliefs inform our well-being. How we use our minds and states of consciousness are relevant here too. All of this is undergoing an awakening that is taking place all year. It could even be an epiphany. And Mars re-triggers this dynamic again from 28th – 30th.

Jupiter and Neptune are exploring your ideals around relationships and partnerships until 20th and 25th when they go retrograde to review recent developments. They will want to move forwards once again later in the year. And so will you…

Libra:    Your ruling planet Venus is helping your career or social status along from 2nd – 27th. People in positions of power are looking at you favourably. Ask for favours if you need them.

The Sun which is in your 9th House of travel, exploration and philosophy until 21st would love to roam but Mercury is retrograde until 22nd and prior arrangements may need to be re-arranged until after that. The solar eclipse on 10th is also looking for adventure and the more unusual: the better!

Venus also has an eventful month, running into the wounds of partners or relationships around 12th – 13th. Look out for opportunities for healing. Venus is in a lovely aspect to Neptune and operating selflessly from 20th – 21st but then power-playing Pluto barges in from 22nd – 24th. Use this time to observe the power balance in your relationships. Is there anything you need to change?

From 11th Mars will be forging its way through your friends, groups and community zone. You have energy to give here but Mars runs up against some opposition towards the end of the month. Your enthusiasm for collective projects runs up against your need for romance, children or individual creativity from 28th – 30th and the tension created by this clash bursts out in your shared zone of joint funds, intimacy and sharing. Only making changes to one or more of these areas of life will bring relief. So what is it to be?

Scorpio:    June is a good month for exploring as Venus glides through your 9th House of new terrains (physical or meta-physical) and the higher mind. This includes studies, ethics, different cultures and beliefs. Meeting people from different cultures is a pleasure and if you can travel to where they are, even better!

Communications in general improve after 22nd when Mercury goes direct. This can also help to clarify joint funds and any misunderstandings around intimacy and sharing. New Moon and the solar eclipse occur in this same area of your chart on 10th marks an unusual fresh start in your intimate life or in shared finances.

On 11th Mars adds extra drive to your ambitions. And from 27th Venus puts some helpful wind behind the sails of your worldly aspirations. People in positions of authority can be helpful then. You just have to ask.

Mars also runs into a big process taking place for Scorpios this year. Saturn is demanding a deep review of your home, early years and how well you meet your emotional needs. And this is squaring Uranus which is insisting on change in relationships and partnerships.

This dynamic is around all year but 14th is the second of three crunches when something has to give… What is it to be? If none of this seems to apply, it could involve issues around mother-figures and emotional patterns in childhood (or your own dealings as a mother-figure if you are one). Mars adds the extra element of desire for worldly ambition and social status from 28th – 30th and father-figures could feature too. Whichever way you look at it, relationships or partnerships HAVE TO change: or your attitude towards them of course…

Sagittarius:    Your ruling planet Jupiter and also Neptune are exploring what the ideal home would be for you (physical and emotional). This an exploratory phase as they both go retrograde towards the end of the month but both will be ready to move further forwards later in the year.

Relationships and partnerships are high on the agenda too. New Moon and a solar eclipse on 10th mark a fresh cycle and one in which you should trust your hunches. Mercury is retrograde though until 22nd, so check to make sure everyone has understood the same thing.

Joint funds and intimacy are benefittng from the transit of Venus from 2nd – 27th. ‘The money of others’ may come your way, although the demands of lovers, children or creative projects may work counter to that mid-month. Strong feelings about your own security and survival could show up sharply around 22nd – 24th too.

Saturn and Uranus form a tense aspect (also mid-month), focusing your attention on the connection between your mind and your well-being. The two are linked. This could take the form of work or relations with colleagues or daily companions impacting your mental health. Likewise it could operate in the other direction with your mind and way of thinking impacting your physical health. We are finely-wired creatures and this is a time to take that wiring into account and finding a positive way of working with it. Physical movement and exercise can be key too.

This all gets stirred up again by Mars around 28th – 30th. Remember you are a mere human being and allow yourself some slack.

Capricorn:    Your mind is very much on work, health and daily matters this month. And the re-thinking that started late-May should have drawn its conclusions by 22nd when Mercury goes direct once again. How to help others could now be clearer. Do what you can.

Relationships and partnerships are flowing sweetly, as Venus glides through your opposite sign from 2nd – 27th and things look particularly good on 3rd and 20th – 21st. Mars is urging you to be pro-active in relationships until 11th and the Sun picks up the baton, providing warmth and self-expression from 21st.

The need for financial restrictions or monetary responsibilities clash with unpredictable matters connected to lovers, children or creative projects. This has been looming for a few months. But the first crunch comes on the lead up to 14th. There may be heated feelings around joint funds, partner’s finances and ‘the money of others’ which intensifies matters too…

The solar eclipse on 10th marks a fresh cycle around work, health, well-being and the well-being of others. Trust your hunches. And Full Moon in your sign on 24th presents you with a tricky hot potato… What is the true cost of your relationships and to what extent do they run against your individual needs? Only you know the answer.

Aquarius:    Your ruling planet Uranus which has been insisting on revolution in your career and worldly ambitions, forms an exact square to Saturn in your sign on 14th. This is the second of three such meetings this year. And the message for you is to carry out a deep review of how you have been dealing with self expression and your sense of identity.

In addition to this is the need to strike out doing your own thing, in your own way, out there in the world. Mars stirs this all up again from 28th – 30th when action on the home front forces you to look at what it is that needs to be looked at. None of this is comfortable: but growth rarely is.

New Moon on 10th is also a solar eclipse in your travel, studies, philosophy and world view zone. Publishing (in all its forms) comes into this too and you should follow your instincts. Mercury also goes direct here on 22nd, helping to resolve any recent misunderstandings.

Venus is adding a sense of well-being to daily life and your self-care rituals from 2nd – 27th. Relations with colleagues and daily companions should go well too, apart from possible power surges (not sure whose…) around 22nd – 24th. Venus then glides into your opposite sign but Mars got there first on 11th. This usually raises the temperature in relationships and partnerships. Now could that be due to anger or passion? Venus is onboard from 28th, so maybe the former then the latter?

Pisces:    Your ruling planet Neptune and Jupiter are both calling for the highest octave of what you can offer. This will most likely involve spiritual growth and largesse which is needed in the present situation. This is an exploratory call as Jupiter and then Neptune go retrograde on 20th and 25th to carry out a review of how you have done so far. But they will both be back later in the year, asking for yet more. Restore yourself, appreciate your own progress so far and prepare for more that will be demanded of you later.

Your 4th House which is at the base of your solar chart is being activated. And although this may be confusing until after 22nd when Mercury goes direct: a new cycle is starting here. The 4th House rules matters relating to mother, home, roots, foundations, self-nurture, personal development and dealings with mother-figures. It can also involve how your are dealing with things if you are a mother-figure yourself.

The solar eclipse on 10th falls in this area of your chart too and belongs to an eclipse family that is intuitive, even psychic and gives flashes of hunches that you can trust. Act on your new understanding,even though you may not know where it comes from.

Saturn and Uranus are squaring each other for most of the year but come to an exact square on 14th. For Pisceans this involves the interplay of communications and your conscious mind versus the collective unconscious. Can you voice your inner-voice? Dealings with neighbours and siblings are startling and Mars stirs up these again at the end the month. Meditation, prayer and whatever spiritual practices your are comfortable with are helpful and can allow healing to take place.

Mars leaps into your work, health and service to others zone from 11th. This is raw energy. Attend to your own health and well-being. So much is being demanded of you. And as we are always told: put on your own oxygen mask before you help others. You are a central, important resource for others right now. Look after that resource!

Aries:    Finances will be very much on your mind this month and Venus helps things to look rosy until 9th. And if you need to carry out an audit or draw up a budget, New Moon on the evening of 11th marks a new financial cycle for you.

Your ruling planet Mars is forging ahead at the base of your solar chart all month. This gives you lots of energy to tackle projects at home or to move things forward with mother-figures, self-nurture or personal development. Mars squares up to Chiron though from 9th – 12th which will make you aware of your vulnerabilities in some way. Take time to attend to your sensitive self. Healing is trying to take place here and you should help it along

Saturn goes retrograde on 23rd, taking you back to review friendships, team. group or community projects or your relationship with organisations, collective ventures or campaigns. This is a long review and you have until October to give one or more of these areas your considered attention.

Jupiter has been generating opportunities for growth in this collective area since late December but Jupiter moves forward on 13th bringing expansion to your active compassion, spirituality, healing, creativity behind the scenes or your online life. This is just a two-month introduction but Jupiter is coming back for a longer stay in December so lay the groundwork now.

Mercury goes retrograde in your communications zone on 29th too, so double-check from then on, that everyone has the same understanding when making arrangements and drawing up agreements!

Taurus:    The Sun ball remains in your court this month until 20th radiating warmth, optimism and freer self-expression. Mercury lends you mental energy too until 4th. And for those of you with May birthdays, your birthday is your personal new year and the perfect time to explore your planets for the year ahead with a good astrologer.

New Moon in your sign on 11th which marks a fresh emotional cycle is a good point to explore your birth chart and focus on what you hope for emotionally in the year ahead too.

More good news is your charms are also at their height as your ruling planet Venus continues in your sign until 9th with possibly obsessive attractions around 5th – 6th when compulsive Pluto adds intensity to your need to relate…

From 9th Venus helps your finances to look rosier but when Mercury goes retrograde from 29th, things may need reviewing. Saturn goes retrograde too from 23rd at the top of your solar chart. This starts a five-month review of your career,social status and dealings with authority-figures and your own use of power if you are an authority-figure yourself!

Saturn is also starting to square Uranus in your sign which it does three times this year. Your need for personal revolution and your ambitions (professional or social status) are at odds in some way and whichever way you look at it, dramatic change is the only option!

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

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

Your personal charm reaches danger level from 9th when Venus glides into Gemini. And with your ruling planet Mercury also in your sign from 4th, your silver tongue can persuade people to do all kinds of things that perhaps they should not. Others beware! And Geminis beware too after your ruling planet Mercury goes retrograde on 29th. That silver tongue may come back to bite you…

Mars is revving in your finance zone all month which may find you in hot pursuit of money or an extra income stream. Security may seem more important these days and you are ready and determined to take action in whatever way needed. You could also move your reputation forward when Mars tunes into Neptune at the top of your chart from 26th – 31st.

Jupiter arrives at the top of your solar chart from 13th, bringing growth, expansion and opportunity to your career, social status or dealings with father or authority-figures. And if you happen to be a father or authority figure yourself, you can have far-reaching influence for the good, if right is on your side.

Cancer:    Friendships and group or community projects continue to bring pleasure at the start of the month. And New Moon on 11th marks a fresh cycle on the collective front in some way. Is there a friend, project or movement close to your heart that you would like to support? Or a campaign or project you would like to start?

Jupiter planet of growth, expansion and opportunity makes an introductory move into your travel, studies and ethics zone from 13th. Exploring the physical or philosophical world can bring growth, as can interactions with people from different belief systems or different cultures, especially around 26th – 30th when energetic Mars joins forces with idealistic Neptune.

Saturn goes retrograde on 23rd to carry out a five-month review of joint funds, intimacy and sharing. This is an opportunity to look at how you have been dealing with things in the past, how you want to deal with them in the future but they may not be so easy to deal with in the present. Joint funds includes taxes, debts and inheritances.

Mars continues to forge through your sign all month, giving you energy and determination to push your agenda forward, whatever that might be. Idealistic projects connected to exploring (in the broadest sense) can benefit from this boost of energy, especially from 26th – 30th.

Full Moon on 26th falls in your 6th House of work, health and service to others, highlighting the impact of your physical health on your mental health and vice versa. Improving one will have a beneficial effect on the other!

Leo:    Your ruling planet the Sun starts the month with Uranus (planet of change, disruption and revolution) right at the top of your solar chart which indicates revolution in your career, social status or in dealings with father or authority figures (or in your own dealings if you happen to be one yourself). New Moon on 11th marks a new cycle here too. Venus is also helping you to charm influential people too until 9th. Use 4th – 8th to ask for any favours that would help you along.

Saturn has been demanding a lot of thought about relationships and partnerships since it entered your opposite sign last December. On 23rd it goes retrograde, calling you back to review what has happened so far and what needs to happen next. But making headway in this area is unlikely during this review period. It is time to take stock rather than take action. You have until October to think this through.

Jupiter planet of growth, expansion and opportunity has also been in your opposite sign since December. But on 13th it moves into your joint funds, intimacy and sharing zone temporarily. This could bring ‘the money of others’ your way or growthful opportunities for ‘sharing’. From 26th – 31st you may also become more aware of how your inner-workings (and perhaps your unconscious) impact these areas.

Friends, groups and community offer light relief as deep processes are taking place. Make time to enjoy some easy company here. This could be good for collective creative projects too.

Virgo:    Your ruling planet Mercury is generating lots of thinking at the start of the month around your world-view, travel, beliefs and people from different cultures. This is followed by a focus on your professional life, ambitions and social status. Venus is smoothing things along here too from 9th and influential people have your back. If you need favours, just ask. But be sure to do so before Mercury goes retrograde on 29th.

Saturn goes retrograde on 23rd which marks the need for a long review around your work, health, service to others and daily routine. How have things been running here and how would you like things to be in the future? You have until October to think this through. Give it lots of your attention.

On 13th Jupiter, planet of growth, expansion and opportunity moves into your opposite sign of relationships and partnerships for two months. Possible partners from different cultures or belief systems could open up a wider world to you. Business partnership opportunities could widen your horizons too.

Mars is busy all month being decisive in matters to do with friends, groups, community and campaigns. Mars also makes a good aspect to Neptune from 26th – 31st which links friends and partners or a group could offer up an ideal partner. Keep an eye open for all of your possibilities!

Libra:    Your ruling planet Venus is helping joint finances along until 9th. Then it moves into your exploration zone. This is good for travel, philosophy, ethics, legal matters and relations with people from different cultures. Venus forms a helpful link with Saturn too around 18th – 20th which could help to bring concrete outcomes in romance, creativite projects or in dealings with children.

Mars is revving away all month at the top of your solar chart. This is excellent for making headway in your career or pushing your agenda forward with authority or father-figures. You have energy and determination all month to pursue your ambitions, whatever they may be. Partners may feel wounded by this around 8th – 12th or their vulnerabilities may present an obstacle to your plans.

Jupiter makes an introductory move on 13th into your work, health and service to others zone. Volunteering and being of service to others can add to your well-being. Your daily rituals and routines might benefit from regular spiritual practice too or a new regime or new form of exercise could expand your world.. You could find yourself having even more enthusiasm for this from 26th – 30th when energetic Mars joins forces with idealistic Neptune

Mercury goes retrograde from 29th which can bring delays to travel plans, studies or legal matters. You may just have to be patient until it goes direct again in three weeks time.

Scorpio:    Relationships and partnerships continue high on your agenda as the month starts with Venus smoothing things along until 9th. The Sun and Uranus are also here squaring Saturn at the base of your chart though, presenting you with the incompatibility of your present living situation and your need for partnership or your partner’s dislike of the present home situation.

Saturn also goes retrograde from 23rd, pressing you to carry out a rethink regarding your home or emotional patterns. Dealings with mother-figures need thinking about too (or your own dealings if you are a mother-figure yourself). Saturn is retrograde until October. Give this review your full attention.

Your urge to explore is strong all month as Mars seeks to roam. This can be through travel, covering terrain in the great outdoors or exploring the higher mind. Studying can be satisfying and dealings with people from different cultures are lively and heated, possibly due to conflict or passion.

New Moon on 20th marks a fresh start in relationships and partnerships. Romance and intimacy could be on the cards as Mars aspects Neptune around 22nd – 23rd and Venus glides through your intimacy zone from 9th and Jupiter brings growth to love affairs, dealings with children or creativity.

Mercury goes retrograde on 29th though. Avoid signing joint finance contracts. And do not make any promises you might not keep…

Jupiter is also on the move this month, leaving growth in your mother and home zone from 13th for the headier areas of love affairs, children or creativity. Jupiter brings growth, expansion and opportunities. Could be fun!

Sagittarius:    Your ruling planet Jupiter is on the move this month. It glides into the all important area of mother and home from 13th which could lead to thoughts about a bigger home or home abroad or a yearning for more emotional expression within your home. Dealings with mother-figures could take prominence too. Jupiter is just on a short visit here until July but will be back full-time to take things further in December.

Saturn changes direction and goes retrograde on 23rd to review your mindset, communications, trading, short journeys or dealings with neighbours or siblings. Physical movement and exercise could be under review too. You have until October to think things through.

Work, health, service to others and your daily routine remain a strong focus until 20th, then relationships and partnerships (including business partnerships) become more of a focus. And there may be a clash here with home around 20th – 21st. There may also be conflict between your individual needs and partnership needs around in the lead up to Full Moon in your sign on the morning of 26th. Mercury goes retrograde here on 29th which can open the door to misunderstandings. Double-check and check again that everyone is on the same page.

Capricorn:    Romance, children or creativity continue to run smoothly until 9th when Venus moves on to bring pleasure to work, dealings with colleagues and daily companions, health, routine and being of service to others. You will enjoy your daily rituals too.

Meanwhile Mars if firing things up in relationships and partnerships all month. Mars brings heat which could mean conflict or passion or maybe both! Mars triggers feelings of vulnerability around home or dealings with mother-figures or your own dealings as a mother-figure if you happen to be one around 8th – 12th.

Your ruling planet Saturn goes retrograde on 23rd to carry out a long five-month review of your finances and your previous position on security, values and self-esteem. This could even be an opportunity to explore how a belief system or creativity can give a sense of security. It does not have to be monetary.

Jupiter also leaves this area of your solar chart for a while on 13th. Its new avenue for expansion is communications and thinking, short journeys, trading and dealings with neighbours and siblings. How we think about things determines our reality and Jupiter is here to show you life can be more benevolent than you previously thought…

Mercury goes retrograde too from 29th in your work, health and service to others zone. Perhaps one or more of these areas (including your daily routine) could do with a re-think too?

Aquarius:    The Sun joins forces with your ruling planet Uranus as the month begins which makes for a lively you! This takes place in your 4th House of mother and home. Could it be time for a revolutionary change here? A home makeover perhaps or even a new home? And are there any habits you would like to change? Or could it be time to revolutionise the way you nurture yourself or handle your personal development? New Moon on 11th marks a new cycle in one or more of these areas of life, including dealings with mother-figures (or your own dealings as a mother-figure if you happen to be one yourself).

Romance, children or creativity may be increasingly on your mind as Mercury followed by Venus and the Sun move iinto your 5th House this month. Venus is smoothing things along from 9th and the Sun brings warmth from 20th. Mercury goes retrograde here though on 29th so be very clear in your communications from then onwards.

Saturn in your sign which has been demanding serious thought about your identity (since last December), goes retrograde on 23rd to review the progress you have made so far. Saturn is looking at who you now are, how you need to express that and outlets for that expression. You have until October to give all of that some deep thought.

Jupiter has also been in your sign since December, helping to keep things buoyant but it moves into your 2nd House temporarily from 13th, bringing growth, expansion and opportunities to your finances or in establishing a sense of security.

Mars is still catapulting through your work, health or service to others zone all month. Could that be a new regime, job or voluntary position? Yes, I think it could…

Pisces:    You have been busy behind the scenes since December when Saturn and Jupiter moved into your natural home of the unconscious, compassion, healing and inner-workings. You are about to harvest some of the fruits of your inner-homework (assuming you have done some) when Jupiter, planet of growth, expansion and opportunity moves into your sign from 13th. This is just a two-month stay but Jupiter will be returning to your sign towards the end of the year.

Meanwhile Saturn is still taking you to task and goes retrograde on 23rd to start a long review, also of your inner-workings, healing, spiritual practice or creativity behind the scenes. This is a good time to enlist the help of a counsellor or therapist to explore deep issues which may need an airing and rethinking.

Communications are key as the month starts and New Moon on 11th marks a new cycle here. This can include short journeys, trading, dealings with neighbours and siblings and also physical movement, exercise and your mental health.

Mars adds energy and determination to your dealings with romantic contenders, children and creativity. And through these interactions, around 26th – 31st you may discover an aspect of your ideal self!

Aries:    You will be full of beans this month as Venus in your sign until 14th makes everyone aware of the charmer that you are. The Sun ball also remains in your court until 19th radiating warmth, optimism and freer self-expression. And for those of you with April birthdays, your birthday is your personal new year and the perfect time to explore your planets for the year ahead with a good astrologer, as is New Moon in your sign on 12th which marks a fresh emotional cycle. This is a good point to explore your birth chart and focus 9n what you hope for emotionally in the year ahead.

Finances are on your mind from mid-month onwards. Venus should be giving them a healthy glow then too, although there may be a surprise or two at the end of the month… You mày have some good money-generating ideas too from 19th when Mercury and the Sun get onboard.

Obstacles (perhaps in the form of authority figures) could crop up around 15th – 16th or you may have some dilemmas yourself if you are the one bearing authority. Relationships could get intense too around 11th – 12th which is a good time to be aware of power imbalances in all directions. You may need to review similar issues in your professional life, with your social status or in dealings with father figures from 27th when Pluto goes retrograde.

Your mental energy will be high until 23rd as your ruling planet Mars zooms through your communications zone. Getting some physical exercise can also help to lessen the sharpness of your tongue which may be over-functioning from time to time…

From 24th your focus jumps to home, roots and foundations. DIY projects, dealings with mother-figures (or as a mother-figure) will be ‘energetic’. This is a good time to attend to self-nurture and personal development too. What do you now need to put in place?

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

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

Mental energy arrives on 19th too as Mercury moves into your sign on the same day as the Sun. Venus arrives even earlier on 14th, adding to your considerable charms and making you darling of the zodiac until the end of the month and beyond. Your creative instincts will be strong, with lots of originality around 22nd – 23rd and 29th – 30th (although the demands of the world will make themselves felt around 23rd – 25th). Sudden attractions could take you by surprise too around 22nd – 23rd…

You continue to focus on finances and security as determined Mars forges its way through your 2nd House. This is good for pushing creative projects ahead too. Mars then moves into your communications zone from 23rd, bringing lots of mental energy and could that be… more physical movement?

Gemini:    Your ruling planet Mercury skips across three different signs this month which means a mentally-active you! You are busy with fatherly or work communications up until 4th and then Mercury joins the Sun and Venus in your friends, groups and community zone until 19th. This is a good time to enjoy the circles you move in and you have good ideas for both collective projects and for individual friends. And if you are involved in a campaign of any kind, you will have a lot to contribute.

From 14th the focus starts to change to your inner-workings, self-defeating patterns, healing and creativity behind the scenes. There are long-term changes taking place here as Uranus is around a third way through its seven-year stay here and the arrival of Venus on 14th and the Sun and Mercury from 19th, go on to trigger changes or awakenings of some kind around 22nd – 23rd and 29th – 30th.

Mars continues to forge through your sign until 23rd, giving you energy and decisiveness. It runs up against Neptune though from 6th – 9th when you might have to take your reputation into account… Then from 23rd Mars will be focused on your finances and security.

Full Moon on 27th falls in your work, health and service to others zone. Take time to look at how your unconscious impacts your health and well-being and vice versa. Your physical world and spiritual world need to be in dialogue.

Cancer:    All the planets are above the horizon in your solar chart for most of April. This means your interactions in the world are uppermost this month. You have the blessing of people in positions of authority as Venus smooths your professional path until 14th. If you need any favours, be sure to ask. (You may have to dodge the disapproval of partners at the same time though…).

New Moon on 12th marks a fresh cycle in career and social status. Is there an ambition that you hold dear? If so, make resolutions and take steps to make this a reality. Dealings with father or authority figures take on a fresh air too, as do your dealings with others if you are an authority figure yourself.

There is an emphasis on friends,groups and community during the second half of the month. Make time for social pleasures as best you can. There could be some surprises here too around 22nd – 24th and 29th -30th.

On 23rd Mars leaps into your sign (as it does approximately every two years). This is a change of gear and energy settings around how you see yourself and how you go into the world. Every planet has a metal which best describes it. And for Mars this is the metal iron which describes your determination to push your goals forward. Others beware! You will have no trouble being assertive, unless you veer into aggression which we would all like to avoid…

Full Moon on 27th brings a swell of emotion in your romance, children and creativity zone. And on 27th Pluto goes retrograde in your 7th House of relationships and partnerships. This marks the start of a six -month review of how the power balance in relationships and partnerships has been working (or not working). You have until October to ponder this. Give it the attention it deserves!

Leo:    You are feeling philosophical during the first half of the month as Venus, Mercury and your ruling planet the Sun encourage you to explore the physical or meta-physical world. This is a good time to immerse yourself in studies too. All three planets square up to Pluto though between 11th – 17th which suggests the demands of work, health and daily life run counter to your high-minded aims. So make the most of the first ten days of the month!

From 14th Venus smooths the way in your professional life. If you need help from people in positions of authority, be sure to ask. The Sun and Mercury help you to stand out and shine from 19th as they too reach the top of your solar chart. Be visible and share your creative talents with us all!

Uranus is about a third of the way through its seven year stay at the top of your solar chart. This brings changes to your career, social status or dealings with father-figures. And Uranus gets triggered by Venus and Mercury between 22nd – 24th and the Sun from 29th – 30th, so expect changes, surprises or creative inspiration!

Mars keeps you active on the friends, groups and community front until 23rd and then moves into your 12th House of compassion, healing, spirituality and creativity behind the scenes. This is a good time to be more active online or to start spiritual practices (such as meditation) and to explore your inner-workings. Self-awareness is half the battle. Pluto goes retrograde on 27th (until October) to review some area of your work, your health, your daily routine or service to others. Take a long look.

Virgo:    Your ruling planet Mercury is busy covering a lot of ground this month with its longest stay in your joint funds, intimacy and sharing zone. Venus and the Sun are highlighting things here too until 14th and 19th and you may benefit in some way from ‘the money of others’. Pay attention to details though from 11th – 17th when romantic partners, children or creativity may make demands. New Moon on 12th falls in this shared area of your solar chart. Decide what you want this new cycle to be about.

From 19th the Sun and Mercury join Venus in your 9th House of travel, studies and ethics. Exploring the physical or meta-physical world looks exciting, especially around 22nd – 24th and 29th – 30th when Uranus gets stimulated by these personal planets. This may call for a new adventure. What could that be?

You will be hot in pursuit of your ambitions until 23rd as Mars forges across the top of your solar chart. Jupiter puts the wind behind you too from 14th – 17th (although partners or partnerships may muddy the waters around 6th – 9th).

Powerful Pluto goes retrograde on 27th in your romance, children and creativity zone. Something needs reviewing here and you have until early October to work out what exactly that is…

Libra:    Your ruling planet Venus starts the month smoothing along relationships and partnerships until 14th. Then, Venus softens your joint finance zone and you may benefit from ‘the money of others’. This is good for intimacy and sharing too. The only exception to these positives may be from 23rd – 25th when Saturn squares up to Venus. The pull of your joint or partner’s finances or security needs and those of children or romantic partners may clash.

You may also find yourself dealing with taxes, debts and inheritances. There could be surprises too around 22nd – 23rd when you or your partner’s finances could undergo a sudden change. Or a wave of sudden attraction could take you by surprise. And, have you made a will or thought about that? How you share your resources, also matters now. Full Moon on 27th heightens the financial and security pushes and pulls you are under too.

Relationships get intense from 11th – 16th and tensions between partners and your domestic or emotional sphere could occur. It is important to work out what power dynamics are at play. Something in your mother and home sphere needs to change and this will become unavoidable at some point from 27th until early October while Pluto is retrograde here.

Mars leaps into your father, career and social status zone from 23rd and you will push your agenda forward and put energy into achieving your ambitions. You just need to be clear about what they are. Are you?

Scorpio:    Work, health and service to others is a strong focus during the first half of the month. Venus continues to add a sense of well-being until 14th and helps relations with colleagues and daily companions. You take pleasure in your daily rituals too. How we think impacts our sense of well-being and this becomes particularly apparent around 11th – 12th and 15th – 16th.

From 14th onwards the focus moves to relationships and partnerships. Venus smooths things along and the Sun and Mercury encourage you to express yourself more from 19th. There could be surprising developments around 22nd – 23rd and 29th – 30th. Venus runs up against a long-standing need for nurture or personal development around 24th – 25th. And the lead up to Full Moon in your sign in the early hours of 27th, finds an emotional you!

Joint funds, intimacy and sharing remain an active area until 23rd. How you share your resources and yourself physically are areas to work on as Mars heats things up in some way. Any unresolved issues with taxes, debts and inheritances can be pushed forward too.

Mars moves into your travel, studies and philosophy zone from 23rd. The urge to explore the physical or meta-physical world is strong. Make your world wider in whatever way you can.

Sagittarius:    Your ruling planet Jupiter is having a fairly quiet month although it does help you to achieve your aims and objectives in relationships and partnerships from 14th – 17th. Mars is determined to push your agenda forward here, be that in personal partnerships or business ones. (Although things may be tricky around 6th – 9th when ideàls connected to mother and home might get in the way). You have until 23rd to get everything done.

Romance, children and creativity are a strong focus during the first half of the month and a pleasurable one apart from 11th – 17th when power dynamics or money come to the surface… New Moon on 12th also falls in this area of your solar chart, marking a new cycle. Decide what you would like this to be about and then act accordingly.

From 14th Venus glides into your 6th House. This helps relations with colleagues and daily companions and you enjoy your daily rituals of self-care. Uranus has been insisting on changes on the work, health and service to others front since March 2019 (and will continue to do so until 2026). And this month Venus, Mercury and the Sun restimulate your awareness of the need for changes, especially around 22nd – 24th and 29th – 30th.

There is then a gear change from 23rd when active Mars leaps into your joint funds, intimacy and sharing zone. What needs to be done here? Joint funds includes taxes, debts, inheritances and wills. Pluto goes retrograde on 27th too, starting a six-month review of your finances, income and security needs. Keep in mind that security can be found through creativity and a value system that gives a sense of security, as well as just on a material level.

Capricorn:    Venus is smoothing things along at home until 14th. Home in every sense should be a source of pleasure, be that the building you live in, its emotional dynamics, Mother Nature, your country or our planet. Relationships with mother figures go well too (as do your interactions if you are a mother-figure yourself). The only exception to this is around 11th – 12th when power issues loom large… You may also find yourself wanting to beautify your home and to share its pleasures with others.

Romance, children and creativity look sweet from 14th as Venus bestows pleasure and ease until the end of the month and beyond. Make time for enjoyment. Although finances could get in the way of plans around 23rd – 25th. (This may not come as a surprise as finances seem to be both expanding and contracting for most of this year). The demands (possibly financial) of romantic partners, children or creativity continue to bring unexpected changes too.

Your mission to move things forward on the work front or with your health continues until 23rd. If you did not take the opportunity to put things on a strong footing last month, take action now! Your well-being, daily routine and being of service to others comes into this too, as do your dealings with daily companions.

From 23rd Mars leaps into your opposite sign which means relationships and partnerships become the focus. Mars heats things up (be that conflict or passion… ). Decide what you would like to find here now in your life. Be forthright and head towards it!

Aquarius:    Communications are a strong focus during the first half of the month as the Sun, Mercury and Venus add to your spoken and written charms. Your unconscious demands attention though as all three planets square Pluto from 11th – 17th. And Pluto goes retrograde for six months from 27th to review your inner-workings, self-defeating patterns, your online life, compassion, healing or creativity behind the scenes. New Moon on 12th marks a fresh cycle in communications. This could be a good time to start a new course or exercise regime too!

From 14th Venus glides into your mother and home zone. Home in every sense should be a source of pleasure, be that the building you live in, its emotional dynamics, Mother Nature, your country or our planet. Relationships with mother figures go well too (as do your interactions if you are a mother-figure yourself).

You may also find yourself wanting to beautify your home and to share its pleasures with others. 22nd – 23rd when Venus joins Uranus can bring surprises or original ideas for changes and likewise 29th – 30th. Personal development and self-nurture also come under this area of your solar chart. Think creatively here too.

Mars is pushing for action in your 5th House of romance, children and creativity. A lot of energy is bouncing around here until 23rd and you will be feeling buoyant and creative. Financial uncertainty may get in the way around 6th – 9th though.

From 23rd Mars leaps into your work, health and service to others zone and Mars means action. Could it be time for a new job or volunteer position. Or could that be a new health regime on the horizon? Yes, I think it could…

Pisces:    Finances and security may be uppermost in your mind until 19th and with Venus around until 14th, your finances may be looking rosier than usual. There may be demands from friends, groups or organisations though around 11th – 17th which require some careful thinking. New Moon on 12th also falls in this area of your solar chart. This marks a new cycle and would be the perfect time to carry out an audit or make a new budget for yourself.

From 14th Venus adds ease and charm to your communications, short journeys and dealings with neighbours and siblings. This is good for trading too, especially from 19th when the Sun and Mercury add energy and warmth. Uranus has been pushing for changes here since 2019 and gets re-awakened by these three personal planets, especially around 22nd – 24th and 29th -30th. What changes do you still need to make? Your way of thinking could be an area requiring changes too…

On 27th Pluto goes retrograde in your friends, groups and community zone. Something needs reviewing here and you have until October to work out what exactly that is. Organisations, politics and campaigns come under this too, as does your true tribe.

And from 23rd determined Mars leaps into your romance, children and creativity zone. Decide what you want to achieve here. And take action.

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

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

Your ruling planet Mars takes a leap on 4th into your communications zone which gives loads of mental energy. Thinking on your feet will be your favourite mode of operation and you may be more inclined to have ‘discussions’ (I avoided saying arguments) especially when asserting or defending your views. Try to remember your survival does not (usually) depend on ‘being right’. Even so, siblings, neighbours, tradespeople and the general public may get more of your opinion than they bargained for…

Your career path is looking rosier from 20th as Venus helps to clear the path to your worldly ambitions. But Full Moon in your opposite sign on 28th highlights the cost of your relationships to you on a personal level and to what extent they run against your individual needs. Likewise, to what extent does your tendency towards self-interest impact on your relationships?

Taurus:    Finances are rarely far from the Taurean mind and once Mars leaps into Gemini from 4th, you will be applying your energy, thoughts and determination to establish some security. This 7-week burst of energy could even result in a new income stream. Now what could that be? On the other hand, this may not be about money. Values, self-esteem and creativity can also provide a sense of security. Mars is ready to develop these too.

Uranus in your sign is still at odds with Saturn which is at the top of your solar chart. Your ambitions and your capacity to be an authority, cannot fully materialise until you meet their requirement for YOU to change. Do not resist or avoid uncomfortable truths. Face them and make the changes that you need to make.

Your ruling planet Venus brings pleasure through friends, groups and the communities you belong to until 21st. New Moon on 13th marks a fresh cycle here too. This is a great time to join or start a group based on ideals. Venus then glides into your 12th House of compassion, healing and spirituality, joining the Sun which is illuminating previously dark corners of your unconscious. This can smooth your online life along too and creative projects behind the scenes.

Full Moon on 28th highlights the unconscious processes taking place and also involves the need to look at how they impact your work, health, daily routine and service to others. You need an honest dialogue between your conscious and unconscious.

Gemini:    On 4th Mars leaps into your sign (as it does approximately every two years). This is a change of gear and energy settings around how you see yourself and how you go into the world. Every planet has a metal which best describes it. And for Mars this is the metal is iron which describes your determination to push your goals forward. Others beware! You will have no trouble being assertive, unless you veer into aggression (which we would all like to avoid… ).

Fast talking and thinking will be on the agenda too and you may even surprise yourself at the brilliant brainwaves you have around 5th when your ruling planet Mercury joins expansive Jupiter. Make a note of all the great ideas that come to you then.

The top of your solar chart is busy during the first three weeks of this month too which rules career, social status and dealings with father or authority figures (or your role as an authority figure if you are one). Venus gathers support from people in powerful positions, so ask them if you need favours or help (or bestow them yourself). New Moon on 13th also falls in this area of your chart and marks a new cycle in your social status. And Venus joins Neptune at the same time, reminding you of what your dreams are…

Your inner life seems to be the only area of tension at present. Ethical or legal matters may be pulling you in different directions. Your online life may be in a quandary in some way or your principles could run up against the need for compassion. A good use of this tension is to be creative behind the scenes. It is also a great time to explore the patterns of your inner workings and any self-defeating habits, through therapy. While external travel is restricted, the fascinating journey inwards is not!

Cancer:    Creativity behind the scenes is a rich area from 4th when Mars changes signs and your energy and determination to complete projects is fired up. Your appetite for spiritual practices may also be strong and helpful habits can now be put in place. Your urge to help others less fortunate than yourself, could also result in direct action. Have you tried your hand at fundraising or charitable deeds?

The ongoing dilemma between groups and sharing or friends and intimacy continue in some way. Friendships may need to change or a new friend could have a revolutionary impact on you and vice versa! A new cause or campaign could be compelling too.

Your ambitions start to look rosier from 21st when the Sun and Venus move across the top of your solar chart. If you need favours from people in positions of power, be sure to ask. They are looking on you favourably at present. (And if you are able to help others in the same way, do so). Full Moon on 28th though brings up conflicts between your worldly ambitions and home or emotional needs.

But New Moon on 13th marks a fresh start in your urge to gain knowledge and understanding of the world (physical, cultural or spiritual). And you may seek a path of studies or deeper spiritual development. Embark on this journey, it will provide inner riches.

Leo:    Mars changes signs on 4th, firing up energy for friends, groups and community matters. Collective projects grab your imagination and you may find yourself feeling more political than usual. Friends, groups and community can also be a source of energy for you. If you have been thinking of joining or starting a group or campaign, now would be a great time.

Communications in relationships and partnerships go well, especially on 5th when Mercury and Jupiter meet up in your opposite sign. This floods your mind with positivity and good ideas. Make a note of them for future development, so they do not get forgotten.

There is an emphasis in your joint funds, intimacy and sharing zone during the first three weeks of the month. Venus is helping things to run smoothly and you may benefit from ‘the money of others’ in some way. New Moon on 13th marks the start of a new cycle and things may feel blissful then as Venus joins Neptune at the same time. (And that could include intimate bliss or compassionate donations).

You then move on to a more philosophical stance from 20th when the Sun (closely followed by Venus) wants to understand deeper truths. Exploring will appeal, whether that is travelling in the mind, covering terrain on foot or online surfing. Getting to know more about other cultures or immersing yourself in deep studies or spiritual practices opens up wonderful worlds. Bon voyage!

Virgo:    Relationships and partnerships (including business) are running harmoniously during the first three weeks of the month, as Venus glides through, smoothing things along. New Moon on 13th marks a new cycle here too, helped by the dreamy meeting of Venus and Neptune around then.

Mars leaps into the highest point of your solar chart from 4th, bringing energy and determination to push ahead with your ambitions and worldly status. Dealings with father or authority figures look lively too. You just have to focus and assert yourself. Decide what you want and go for it!

Tensions continue between issues connected to work, health or service to others and your higher principles, beliefs or cultural and legal matters. It could also be helpful to look at your daily routine, rituals and habits to see if they help your spiritual well-being. And if not, what changes or support can you enlist? Or do any aspects of your work run contrary to your ethics?

Venus glides into your joint funds, intimacy and sharing zone from 21st and you may benefit from ‘the money of others’ in some way. This could include tax rebates, loans and inheritances. Making donations is pleasurable. You may also find yourself able to communicate in a very helpful way with anyone undergoing a crisis. Virgoans have a pure and lovely way of attending to others. The world needs your loveliness. Do not keep it hidden.

Libra:    Mars starts to stimulate your higher mind from 4th and your urge to travel (mentally if physically is not possible) will be strong. Taking a course of study could fire your energy, as could exploring different cultures, philosophies or learning a new language. Exploring the great outdoors on foot could be life-enhancing too.

Ethics and principles take on more prominence at this time too. Religious and spiritual questions may need answering, leading you to seek out people who can answer them. And if you have any legal matters to attend to, Mars will spur you onwards!

Meanwhile your ruling planet Venus is smoothing along daily life and good relations with colleagues and daily companions (including pets). You take pleasure in performing your daily rituals, attending to your health and being of service to others until 21st.

Venus then joins the Sun in your opposite sign, warming and smoothing relationships and partnerships. Full Moon in your sign on 28th highlights how your partner or relationships impact you. And if your conclusion is not an entirely positive one; let them know about it!

Scorpio:    Romance, children and creativity are high on the agenda this month as the Sun, Venus and Mercury sail through your 5th House of pleasure. New Moon on 13th marks the start of a new cycle here and as Venus joins Neptune the day after, dreams could come true!

Mars is busy too, leaving your opposite sign of relationships and partnerships on 4th for the even deeper waters of joint funds, intimacy and sharing. Sharing is the common theme as intimacy can involve sharing yourself physically as well as emotionally. And joint funds include taxes, debts, inheritances and ‘the money of others’. Mars which will be here for seven weeks, gives courage and determination to pursue your vision.

Uranus is continues to call for change on the relationships and partnerships front, while Saturn is examining your home, roots, foundations and emotional patterns. How have you been dealing with things in the past and how do you want to deal with them in the future? Jupiter is encouraging you to grow. Help this to happen: growing pains and all! Everything is for us not against us.

From 20th the Sun illuminates your 6th House of work, health and service to others. And Venus follows one day later,bringing pleasure to your daily rituals and in dealings with colleagues and daily companions. We sometimes forget the pleasures of everyday routines. But this is a time when you remember.

Sagittarius:    Home life and dealings with mother figures look harmonious through to 21st as Venus brings harmony and beauty to the table. You may also want to beautify your home and give more attention to your emotional needs. New Moon on 13th marks a new cycle in one of these areas of life and as Venus joins Neptune on 14th, you may get a glimpse of how you would like your ideal home to be (physically and emotionally).

Meanwhile from 4th Mars leaps into your opposite sign, bringing energy and determination to do something about relationships and partnerships (including business partnerships). Mars heats things up which can result in passion or conflict…). Decide what you now want from the partnerships in your life and make it happen!

Ongoing tension between your way of thinking and your work, health or well-being continue to squeeze you. How does your daily routine, work or diet impact your mental well-being? The question should be asked in the other direction too. You have most of this year to explore and come to some resolution that helps each side of the equation.

Meanwhile make sure you get exercise, eat healthily, are not involved in soul-destroying work and examine your daily routine and keep thought patterns positive. Your up-beat ruling planet Jupiter is willing to help with this but needs you to play your part too!

Venus glides into your romance, children and creativity zone on 21st which helps relations and creative outcomes. The Sun arrives one day earlier, illuminating any areas that needed more light. And just a minute, could that be some fun on the horizon?

Capricorn:    Mars starts the month by leaping into your work, health and service to others zone on 4th. And Mars means action! So what is it to be? A new job or volunteer position or taking your health and well-being in hand? Mars adds grit and determination to wherever it lands and so this could be the perfect time to start a new regime. And if your daily routine could do with a shake-up, Mars is lending energy and momentum.

Communications go well, especially in trading and relations with neighbours and siblings as Venus helps to smooth things along until 21st. Short journeys are enjoyable and physical movement and exercise will be a pleasure. And is there any writing or correspondence that you need to do? New Moon on 13th is a good time to start a written, dance or audio project. Venus and Neptune are channeling inspiration and helping your imagination to flow too.

Your roots and foundations get fired up by the Sun from 20th and softened by Venus from 21st. You may find yourself wanting to beautify your home. Relations with mother figures goes well too (as does being a mother-figure if you are one). Although Full Moon on 28th presents you with conflicting demands from your public life and worldly ambitions. Navigate them as best you can.

Aquarius:    Your ruling planet Uranus Is still squaring up to Saturn in your sign, extending the ongoing need for change in your worldly status or in you. This may be due to changing ambitions that demand more of you or changes within yourself that inspire you to reach for different goals. This tension is interesting and important to your growth and development.

Finances are looking rosy until 21st as Venus glides through, easing things along. New Moon on 13th falls here too which is the perfect point to draw up a budget or spending plan. Venus and Neptune join forces the next day which can be over-indulgent, so be aware of that too when spending.

Mars leaps into your romance, children and creativity zone from 4th and you may find yourself being more pro-active in your pursuit of that certain someone or in a creative project. You may be feeling sportier too.

And when Mercury and Jupiter meet in your sign on 5th, you become fully aware of all of your possibilities as your mind is at its most positive. You cannot act on all of your ideas at once but write them down so that none are lost or forgotten. Your mind is a treasure trove right now!

Pisces:    The Sun ball remains in your court this month until 20th radiating warmth, optimism and freer self-expression. Mercury lends you mental energy too from 15th. And for those of you with March birthdays, your birthday is your personal new year and the perfect time to explore your planets for the year ahead with a good astrologer.

Venus is in your sign from 5th making you darling of the zodiac until 21st. Your charms will be at their highest and you will attract others to you. And in the middle of this Mercury and Jupiter also meet up on 5th to give a positive mindset, good communications and inspiration for creativity behind the scenes.

New Moon in your sign on 13th also marks the beginning of a personal new cycle. Make resolutions that will help to meet your emotional needs and dreams in the month and year ahead! The day after is looking heavenly too when lovely Venus joins your ruling planet Neptune and all is well with the world.

From 4th Mars is revving away at the base of your chart. Home in its broadest sense is going to get your attention. Your determination to forge ahead with domestic projects will be strong, as will your active concern for mother figures in your life and possibly your urge to nurture others. Self-nurture and personal development are areas to work on too. Looks interesting! Pull your socks up and get going!
