Joint ventures and trust issues are on the table but don’t spoil a potentially productive week by being a verbally blunt and/or physically reckless Ram. Slow down, think before you speak and consult with loved ones and colleagues before you make any important moves. Pluto shifts into your hopes-and-wishes zone mid-week (where it stays until 2043) so it’s a wonderful week to set transformative goals and dream powerful dreams for the years ahead.

TAURUS (Apr 20 - May 20)

Powerful Pluto transits into your career zone mid-week (where it stays until 2043), so there are ambitious goals to set and lofty heights to reach over the next few years. Which will require hard work, passion and plenty of persistence. No procrastinating or snoozing on the sideline, Bulls! Then Friday’s Venus/Saturn link is fabulous for planning a heavenly holiday, networking with work colleagues or nurturing a long-term personal relationship.

GEMINI (May 21 - June 20)

It’s time for a well-organised pivot, Gemini! Smart Twins will examine all possibilities, especially ones that come from left field. With powerful Pluto transiting into your aspirations’ zone, it’s important to have ambitious long-term goals that you’re steadily working towards. You’ll have to be patient though, as you focus on bringing your dreams down to earth via a practical plan. Then – when everything is in place – you’ll know the perfect time to pounce.

CANCER (June 21 - July 22)

This week the planetary focus is on your daily routine and work zone but expect some challenging developments and stressful moments. Resist the urge to be a bossy, moody and cantankerous Crab. Try to ground your emotional energy and calm your restless mind. Your motto for the moment is from actress Goldie Hawn (who turns 79 on Thursday): “The ability to remain calm and focused in stressful situations is central to making positive decisions.”

It’s a lovely week for Lions! On Tuesday, there’s a terrific Sun/Neptune trine which boosts creativity and compassion, so you’ll feel like painting, writing, performing or helping someone in need.

The Sun (your patron planet) shimmies into fellow fire sign Sagittarius (on Friday) when you’re fired up and ready to socialise, fraternise, travel and explore! Then the Sun links up with Pluto, which will help you take a deep dive into a special close relationship.

VIRGO (Aug 23 - Sep 22)

Many Virgos will feel very unsettled on Monday, when the Mercury/Jupiter opposition stirs up your restless side. Then Pluto powers into your work and wellbeing zones, where it stays until 2043! So your job and your health will be under the microscope for many years to come. It’s a good time to reorganise your daily routine and work schedule, plus make your diet healthier and your fitness routine more regular. Your motto for the moment? Health is wealth.

LIBRA (Sep 23 - Oct 22)

With Pluto transiting into your leisure and friendship zones, you’ll be drawn to exploring hobbies, people and places. A child’s talent blossoms, a new friendship flourishes or a burgeoning romance progresses to a deeper level. So expect a busy week full of pleasing partnerships, convivial conversations and colourful creativity. The weekend looks wonderful, courtesy of a work opportunity, an outdoor adventure or a favourite four-legged companion.

SCORPIO (Oct 23 - Nov 21)

Your power planet, Pluto, transits into Aquarius and makes a positive link with the Sun, which is fabulous for boosting personal charisma and generating creative ideas. Don’t be stubborn and unimaginative about your current plans and choices though. As birthday great, singersongwriter Bjork observes: “I sometimes fall into the trap of doing what I think I should be doing, rather than what I want to be doing”. Keep your mind flexible and your options open.

There’s an impulsive Mercury/Jupiter opposition on Monday, which boosts your blunt and tactless side. So slow down, Sagittarius, and think (carefully) before you speak, especially when dealing with family and friends. Pluto powers into your communication and education zones midweek, which could signal a learning renaissance as you consider studying a topic that has always fascinated you. Then the Sun shimmies into your sign, and it’s your turn to shine!

CAPRICORN (Dec 22 - Jan 19)

After sixteen years, Pluto finally transits out of your sign and into your inner/outer security zone. Hopefully you’ve learnt some important, transformative lessons along the way. Now you’re set for a major transformation involving self-esteem or financial matters over the next few years. Clever Capricorns will concentrate on personal development and growing your nest egg for the future. Friday is fantastic for strategic, long-term planning.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20 - Feb 18)

Pluto transits into your sign, so curious, quirky Aquarians are keen to ricochet off in transformative new directions. And don’t worry about making messy, complicated (or embarrassing) mistakes along the way. Keep stretching your wings, trying new things and being the authentic you. Draw inspiration from actress Goldie Hawn (who celebrates her 79th birthday on Thursday): “I want to dig deep and ask – Who am I? What do I have to offer? What do I have to learn?”

PISCES (Feb 19 - Mar 20) Tuesday’s Sun/Neptune trine favours compassionate, creative and spiritual pursuits. But are your aspirations for the future ambitious enough? The current stars favour ruminating over big-picture ideas. And there’s no room for false modesty or passive Piscean procrastination as you enjoy talking, texting, posting, promoting and socialising, and then come up with a cracking plan and pursue it. Powerful Pluto also encourages you to dream big and dig deep.
