What’s In Your Stars?

Aries

20th March-20th April

The Earth continues to go around but for you it seems as if everything is going backwards. It’s certainly slowing down after the sprint you’ve made this summer. Mars moving into your opposite sign of Libra this autumn gives a triggery feel to close relationships, although the bottom line is reconciliation too. Where it’s offered, accept without hesitation.

Taurus

20th April-21st May

You feel secure within your routine but ask yourself why you feel insecure otherwise? There’s no guarantee in a routine because change is constant and you’re on the edge of it. This presents an opportunity to break out of the usual into the unusual and explore the energising activities you could become part of. Admit it, Taurus – you need a break from routine.

Gemini

21st May-21st June

Your planetary ruler Mercury is a trickster and on 27th September goes into retrograde motion. For you this means checking everything you say before you say it, everything you write before you write it and looking at every contract and agreement twice or even thrice before you sign it. After 23rd October Mercury stops its mischief making… until next time!

Cancer

21st June-23rd July

The laws of attraction in electricity and magnetism are that like repels like and opposites attract. These laws apply to positive and negative currents in the human psyche too. Being Cancerian, you’re highly emotional; your opposite sign, Capricorn, is not. At present invite that Capricornian control and shore up the dam that wants to burst!

Leo

23rd July-23rd August

George Michael sang “You’ve gotta have faith.” Faith is like the air in a balloon: if you’ve got it, you’re filled; if not you’re empty, so keep going upward and onward. If things appear to be slowing up, don’t let that slow you down. Life’s composed of cycles – sometimes you just have to peddle a little harder to get over the hill.

Virgo

23rd August-23rd September

A new moon in Virgo in early September offers the start to something fresh; the end of the month, a chance to see it finished just as you want. In October your energy field is alive with the entry of Mars into Sagittarius – this crackles with the challenge of a familiar practice being opposed. You might have to broaden your horizons… a little?

Libra Scorpio Sagittarius

23rd September-22nd October

It’s a simple formula: do your best and somebody might like it, but you can’t please all the people all the time. More than any other sign, you crave approval and can also be the most cooperative, but sometimes you must come down off the fence! What’s asked of you currently is to be true to yourself.

23rd October-22nd November

September’s full moon in Pisces in your fifth solar house highlights your creative expression, allowing the inner child to come out and play. There’s a magical energy to this imaginative season leading into October and Halloween, which connects to the mysteries. Suit you, Scorpio, as one whose enigmatic nature will be on maximum attract!

22nd November-21st December

A light beam can travel around your best and somebody might like it, in your fifth solar house highlights your the earth seven times in a second – the earth seven times in a second – imagine that! You’d like to be getting on with things faster, but Saturn in Aquarius seems to be holding you up by controlling the financial element required for progress. You may have the technology and knowledge, but you have to wait for the right moment fiscally.

Capricorn Aquarius Pisces

21st December-20th January

In Celtic myth, the Holy Grail symbolises the search for wisdom and immortality. The first is laudable, the second unattainable – although it’s said Capricorn is the sign that gets younger as it gets older! So how is it for you? Better I trust after 18th October, when you reflect less and look to the future. Young or older, there’s plenty happening there.

20th January-19th February

Life is an amalgam of success and failure – how can one exist without the other? This is a time when you need to concentrate on the areas of your life handled successfully and see where you can further develop them. Cut your losses and focus on the gains, but avoid new responsibilities for the time being.

19th February-20th March

Yes! The enchantment of a full Grail symbolises the search for wisdom and failure – how can one exist without moon in Pisces around the equinox starts moon in Pisces around the equinox starts autumn with a look at what a harvest you’ve gathered. Those creative juices have really paid off, showing what vision and resourcefulness can do. No need to depend on anyone else; you are your own special creation and exceptional at designing – Halloween parties, for example!
