What’s In Your Stars?

Aries

20th March-20th April

Being a fire sign shows a primitive urge to find suitable outlets for your vibrant energy. Always on the go, you’re frustrated with anything that curtails you and you’ve had to curb impatience for some time. Saturn, with its sense of order and slower pace, isn’t your style but in its present position it’s your greatest ally. More structured but potentially saving slip-ups.

Cancer

21st June-23rd July

Mercury’s in your sign for a very short time in July, so say what’s on your mind. Everything has been said before, but since nobody listens we have to keep going back and over it again – you’ll identify with this. Whatever you say you’ll be sensitive, perhaps more than necessary, but sensitivity is a missing link these days so celebrate your gift.

Taurus

20th April-21st May

The Great Age of Taurus began 4460 BC when agriculture and buildings marked a productive period. It also developed the character of Taurus as solid, nature-loving and a builder of permanency. Scale that down to time you’ve spent building a secure life. There’s a bit of shake, rattle and roll happening but it’s just getting rid of accumulated rubbish, so hold on.

Gemini

21st May-21st June

Your sign ruler Mercury is going through some quick changes and so must you. This doesn’t really bother you because variety’s your spice of life but it’s the moods affecting others you need to pay attention to. Three areas of key importance are family/feelings, performance/showmanship and specifications/details. The password to successful negotiation is diplomacy.

Leo

23rd July-23rd August

You’re not happy but it’s no good acting like the Mad Hatter in Alice In Wonderland, who has sat at tea ever since time stopped working for him. It’s true that you haven’t been able to stick to your usual schedule, but a Leo new moon in August begins a phase enabling you to make much better use of time and temperament. So, happy birthday Leo!

Virgo

23rd August-23rd September

Feeling you’ve achieved nothing is all part of the disillusionment that Neptune can bring when cruising through your sign, but it’s not real! Try seeing it for what it is: a phase in which circumstance have ground you down, but one that will pass. You have two choices: either claim victim status and do nothing or take a reality check and count your blessings!

Libra Scorpio Sagittarius

23rd September-22nd October

Jupiter and Saturn currently have the appearance of moving backwards, an optical illusion caused by the different speeds of planets and the Earth that symbolically brings balance to a decision. This is because they’re moving through Aquarius, a sign that complements your own. The long and short of it is you’ll be given help making a momentous choice.

23rd October-22nd November

Many believe Leos have the greatest pride, but your sign comes a close second so be aware in July that pride comes before a fall. Be prepared to back down or at least compromise – which you can do without giving ground on essential points. Honour is more important than self-importance in this instance – and there’s more to gain.

22nd November-21st December

Freedom is the buzzword of the have the appearance of moving backwards, greatest pride, but your sign comes a moment, but what is it? It isn’t being free moment, but what is it? It isn’t being free just to do what you want – it’s freedom from habits and ignorance of one’s own potential. It’s time to revolutionise and develop ideas that will bring financial reward by stepping into a world that’s different but holds new frontiers for someone prepared to fit into it!

Capricorn Aquarius Pisces

21st December-20th January

A Tibetan monk would say your sign is the most difficult to understand. You can be a scapegoat and become disillusioned and disappointed with life, or you can see life’s challenges as a test of your ability to rise above them. Why so many tests, you ask? To achieve your ambitious goals – you are the Zodiac’s taskmaster/mistress personified. Problem, reaction, solution?

20th January-19th February

A full moon in Aquarius in late July and a new moon in Leo in early August show you could be at cross purposes with a twin flame. You like being all things to all people but you can’t so focus attention on the warmth in a relationship and let external matters take care of themselves.

19th February-20th March

You’re such an agreeable sign is the most difficult to understand. You in late July and a new moon in Leo fish but can easily turn into a shark if fish but can easily turn into a shark if highly criticised or hurt – or if your deeply held beliefs are challenged. In August, be prepared to face an assertive opinion and turn the other cheek. Don’t rise to the bait – then your opinionated adversary will have nothing to reel in!
